Alexandra “Alex” Nicole Fielding (birth name: Artemis DuBaer) (born on October 31, 1984) is a fictional character and one of the two main characters from the popular book series by H. B. Gilmour and Randi Reisfeld called T*Witches. She is the deuteragonist in the Twitches films as well.

History[]

Alex Fielding (birth name: Artemis DuBaer) is the daughter of Aron and Miranda DuBaer. Plus, she is the twin sister of Camryn Barnes (birth name: named Apolla DuBaer) who was born as the moon was setting and wears the moon amulet.

Alex, the older twin by two minutes, was born as the moon was setting, and wears the moon amulet. Their names deviate from the legendary twins Artemis and Apollo, Greek gods of the moon and sun. The powerful amulets were made by the twins' father Aron DuBaer before he was killed by their uncle Thantos DuBaer. When together, the twins are stronger and more powerful than when they are alone, especially when their amulets are attached; thus making it easier for Thantos to find them and use them to his advantage. In order to protect the twins and their magic, their Coventry guardians Ileana DuBaer and Karsh send each twin to be raised by separate human parents (Protectors) in the United States.

Alex is sent to the fictional town of Crow Creek, Montana to live with Isaac and Sara Fielding, a couple who had always wanted a child but couldn't so they decided to adopt Alex. Sara adopted her from Karsh by private adoption. She knew of Alex's powers but did not know of the Coventry world, and her husband found out about Alex's powers later when Alex was 7. Alex never knew she was adopted until her mother, Sara, died of lung cancer when she was 14. Her adoptive father, Isaac, tried to get his wife but Fredo killed him before he got the chance.

Alex Fielding grew up in a trailer in Crow Creek. She is punky, gothic, and a smart aleck. She only has two best friends, Evan Fretts and Lucinda Carmelson. She is considered a freak in school.

Although Alex has had dreams of Karsh and the Coventry world as a little girl, the first encounter of her magical powers was at school when she read a guy's mind and makes a basketball fly into a girl's nose.

For summer vacation, the Barnes and Beth make a trip to Big Sky, an amusement park in rural Montana, where Alex lives and works. At Big Sky, Cam and Beth meet Alex, Lucinda, and Evan, in which everyone is convinced that Cam and Alex are identical except the twins themselves, who at first are so stunned they are in denial. It is the first time the twins have ever met. After the discovery of a mysterious twin sister, Alex is not upset with Sara for keeping the adoption from her. At first Alex Fielding argues that Sara is her real and only mother but eventually she comes around to learning about her past.

Personality[]

Alex is a very independent and strong-willed 21-year-old witch. Despite her seemingly cold and hardcore persona, Alex is a very smart, kind and warm-hearted young woman who cares deeply about her family and friends.

Appearance[]

Alex is 5'4" tall and has the same build as her twin sister. She has short, straight, auburn hair but changes hair colors all the time. She and her sister have gray eyes, and their cousin Ileana and mother Miranda also have gray eyes.

Alex is a black woman with short, straight dark brown hair--in the first movie but in Twitches Too, she has long curls--and has dark brown eyes.

Powers and Abilities[]

  • Spell Casting: Alex can cast spells; a "spell" being the word used to signify the means employed to carry out a magical action. This allows users to magically alter reality to a wide number of effects or to evoke forces to change their surroundings. A spell could consist of a ritual action, a spoken component, a verse, a gesture or any combination of these. A spell may require the use of certain tools, ingredients (herbs, stones and minerals) or the use of additional power such as from celestial events.
  • Telekinesis: Alex can manipulate physical objects with only the use of her mind or an evocation of magical words.
  • Cryokinesis: Alex can manipulate the cold.
  • Telepathy: Alex can read people's minds.
  • Empathy: Alex can sense people's emotions.
  • Precognition: Alex can see into the future.

  • Magic: As a powerful witch descending from a long line of powerful witches and wizards, Alex was born with immense magical powers and abilities, especially with the powerful ability to use the magical forces of the Moon. Ever since Alex found out that she was a witch, she became immensely proficient in magic. She is capable of unimaginable feats and is one of the most powerful magic users in the entire series.

      • Intangibility: Alex can walk through walls.
      • Portal Creation: Alex is able to open portals to and from Earth to Coventry.
      • Telekinesis: Alex can manipulate physical objects with only the use of her mind or an evocation of magical words.
  • Magical Bond with Camryn: Alex and her twin-sister Camryn share a magical bond. When the two link hands, their magical powers double in strength; at the very least, their combined power is equal to their mother's own full-power.
  • Lunakinesis: As she was born as the moon set and possesses the Moon Pendant, Alex has immense magical powers and abilities over the moon, which grants her numerous magical capabilities.
    • Claircognizance: Alex Fielding has the gift of knowing. She seemed very intuitive, possessing an innate knowledge of things she had not been told (e.g. Coventry's history, the Darkness, her birth parents names), and knew things before they happened.
    • Cryokinesis: Karsh implied that Alex had some affinity for coldness, as when she and her sister were practicing the vanquishing spell, he noted that the most important part of the spell was balance (i.e. Alex needed to provide the forces of the moon and cold to the spell).
    • Shadowland Connection: According to Miranda DuBaer, since the moon is half in darkness, Alex has a connection to the shadowlands (i.e. the realm of shadows).

Film Differences[]

In the films, Alex was adopted by a world class single mother who passed away, resulting in her becoming a recluse. She has an artistic background like her twin sister. However, she writes about stories about magical twins. One day, she bumped into Cam when she was on a job hunt and the two of them meet for the first time. When they arrive at Coventry, Cam is spooked and leaves to attend her birthday party. Alex feeling abandoned by her sister, ventures further into Coventry and emotionally reunites with their birth mother Miranda. She is portrayed as a smart and studious introvert.
