Alexandra Margarita "Alex" Russo is the main protagonist of the Disney Channel sitcom ''Wizards of Waverly Place'', portrayed by Selena Gomez. As the middle child and only daughter, she is sly, outgoing, and sometimes rude to her family and friends. Alex usually underachieves when it comes to school and wizard training. She often gets into trouble because of her constant schemes (usually involving magic).

Alex is smart but not hardworking, much to the dismay of her older brother, Justin. Alex became a full wizard in ''Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie'' but later makes a wish through the Stone of Dreams to turn back time which, in turn, made her a student again.

In 2008, AOL named her the twentieth greatest witch in television history. Selena Gomez, who portrays Alex, is one of the only two cast members to appear in every single episode of the series to date; the only other cast member to appear in all episodes that have aired so far is David Henrie, who portrays Justin Russo. The character has also appeared in ''The Suite Life on Deck''.

Personality

Alex often argues and insults her brother, Justin. In the season three episode ''"Alex's Logo"'', while she is under a truth spell, it is revealed that the reason that Alex acts mean is simply because she wants to be liked and actually fears being hated.

Alex claims everyone takes her advice as she knows a lot about fashion, relationships, girls, and guys, but above all she can be very sneaky and tricky to the extent that she's even willing to admit that she's usually up to no good, and feels uncomfortable when others say the opposite. Her best friend since childhood is Harper Finkle (Jennifer Stone), who often tries to keep her out of trouble, and is also her voice of wisdom. In the episode ''"Third Wheel"'', Alex says to Harper that she is like her sister. Her temporary best friend at Wizard School is Hugh Normous (Josh Sussman), as she said in one episode, that he was "the worst best friend ever". Though she continues to torment her older brother Justin, the two seem to have a close bond that neither seem to have with any other character on the show. Her enemy since kindergarten is Gigi Hollingsworth (Skyler Samuels), ever since Gigi spilled juice on Alex's blanket and told everybody that Alex had an "accident" during nap time. Alex often uses magic to solve her problems, which frequently ends up giving her even more problems than she began with. Her tendency to use magic without permission is often caused by her lack of work-ethic and respect for the rules she deems unnecessary. Alex hardly ever considers the consequences of magic and is often unprepared when the situation goes haywire, which requires the help of her more sensible brother Justin when she finds she cannot fix them by herself, often grudgingly accepting his offer to work together. Alex is shown to be at a lower level than Justin, but she is very skilled at "Make-'em-Ups", when a wizard can make up their own emergency spell. It is revealed in ''"Doll House"'' that Alex did not know about magic when she was five.

Riley (Brian Kubach) had been Alex's crush for most of the first season, and to impress him, she calls herself his good luck charm and manipulates Justin without him figuring out to magically win his — and Riley's, as she was always quick to emphasize — baseball game, though when Justin stops once their father makes him realize what Alex has been doing, Alex has to use magic herself by the bleachers in order to be Riley's date, cleverly managing to win the game for Riley even with Jerry and Justin's attempts to foil her magic, further showing how skilled she can be at magic by the way she countered Justin's magic so easily and discreetly at the baseball game where humans who did not know about magic were, despite Justin's and Jerry's knowledge of magic, when it clashes with her understanding of it — however small her amount of understanding of it may be at the start. She had also got Riley jealous by enchanting a mannequin to come alive and date her—after he breaks up with her—in the episode "''Alex's Spring Fling''".

She is a Daddy's Girl and according to her father, Jerry (David DeLuise), she uses her puppy dog eyes to get out of trouble. She cannot tell when her dad is being overprotective, she just thinks he is being crazy and does not make the situation better by saying she is growing up. In "''You Can't Always Get What You Carpet''", however, she tells her dad she will always be his little girl. She is not fazed very much — if not at all — when he's overprotective and still does whatever it is he does not want her to do. For example in "''Alex's Brother Maximan''", Jerry hears Alex tell her mom that her boyfriend, Dean (Daniel Samonas), wants to kiss her, and he says "Kissing? Who are you kissing?" and begins to freak out. Later in the episode, she does kiss Dean, but when her dad questions it, she tries to change the subject by saying something about him being proud of his children.

Alex is often depicted as a slacker, somewhat more so with regular high school than in wizardry and witchcraft school. If Alex does not want to do anything that is school-related, she will make an excuse or scheme about why she does not want to do it, and how unnecessary she finds it or will just simply not do it. She will often rebel against mandatory assignments with glee and has displayed little, if any, ambition, freely admitting that she always arrives in school during third period and never cares. She has been shown to be sent to the principal's office so often that she and Mr. Laritate have a regular routine down, even pouring each other coffee and giving each other donuts, and even has a pillow, a hammock, and a CD player containing rain forest sounds stashed in Mr. Laritate's office whenever she gets detention. She has even resorted to trying extreme measures in order to get out of a school project despite the cost being much greater, once going as far as deliberately attempting to injure herself by jumping off the stage after she is named as Harper's replacement as Tinker Bell in the school production of ''Peter Pan'' (this after she already auditioned to be Harper's understudy, thinking that she would not have to do anything in the play), when Harper accidentally falls off the stage during rehearsal. Art is her favorite school subject and is pretty much the only class she takes seriously, and excels greatly at, being the best in her class and even being the co-art teacher.

After her parents complain how she never has never been in any school clubs, she lied and said she was in reading club and tried to steal the award from Justin's room and scratch out his name and put hers. Justin, however, is fed up with her always getting past his defenses to keep her out of his room and stealing his stuff, so he created Frankie ("''Franken Girl''") to guard his room, but Alex still managed to shut down Frankie when she figures out that Frankie's brain worked like a computer, and when Justin made Frankie immune to shutting down like a computer and cast a spell to make her think of Alex as her best friend — much to Alex's disdain — and Alex was then forced to put up with her before noticing that Frankie fit a lot of her best friend requirements, and became fast friends with Frankie. Justin then put a spell on Frankie to like cheerleading and she wanted Alex to be on the squad with her. In ''"Monster Hunter"'', Alex gets jealous of Justin when he moves forward in wizard training so she creates a spell song where she can remember the spells she learn, hoping to catch up with him.

Alex and Justin act as foils, as the two are near-polar opposites in terms of personality; Justin is responsible, kind, selfless, sensible, hard-working, and fair in judgment, though not very witty with his words at times mostly like that just because he secretly competes to be the best at magic since he loves it but is easily insecure at witnessing Alex and her great magical feats accomplished so effortlessly by her. Alex is lazy, carefree, witty, funny, sarcastic, stubborn, and biased when it comes to herself or her loved ones against other people, magical or not, not very good at expressing herself in terms of emotions and frustration-causing desires on her part like wanting to be like Justin, cunning, mischievous, and a complete natural at magic despite not being as serious as Justin when discussed or performed, his performance full of constant measuring and intense concentration, while hers is laid-back and careless. Their similarities though, are surprisingly many, despite how rarely they show themselves, as they are very strong during the moments they do shine through.

Positive qualities

Despite her flaws, Alex is far from heartless and has numerous instances of generosity, loyalty, and compassion, and her actions and pranks are typically free of any malice. She deeply cares for Harper, going so far as to reveal her secret to her in "''Harper Knows''" out of guilt for lying. She also loves Justin dearly despite their constant antagonism, most notably shown in "''Moving On''", where she went out of her way to help Justin move on from Juliet, and in the film, in which she breaks down in tears and begs him not to leave her. Alex can also feel remorse and guilt for her actions and has apologized and taken responsibility for them, and often goes out of her way to set things right whenever her disregard for the consequences directly affect her friends and/or family. Though these instances are rare, Alex does occasionally use magic unselfishly or with good intentions, such as in "''Taxi Dance''", where she repairs Cab 804 to allow herself and her family to continue to cherish the memories of her birth. Additionally, in ''"The Good, the Bad, and the Alex"'', she apparently joins forces with Stevie, a fellow wizard, and starts a revolution to end the wizard competition, but this is revealed to be a ruse; just as Stevie is about to succeed, Alex transforms her into a rock-like substance and shatters her. Alex is also very much like her aunt Megan, as both love art and hate hard work. In fact, Max said that Megan is just like Alex's twin only older in "''Retest''", though the key difference between the two, according to Justin, is that Alex is capable of apologizing for her actions, something that Megan never learned to do. She also has a strong sense of justice, and frequently scolds anyone who is being unfair or cruel, going far to the point of stand against her own parents in the first part of "''Wizards vs. Vampires''" when they berate Justin for dating Juliet. Alex also hates "fake" people; in "''Alex Does Good''", when she is forced to join the Happy Helper's Club, Alex is openly disgusted that the club members only do mundane everyday tasks for people rather than actual good deeds, and are only doing so for rewards. She even goes so far as to refuse to accept a ribbon to protest their behavior, but immediately accepts it when she discovers that she faces suspension otherwise. In Season 3, Alex is rarely the source of magical problems anymore, instead often being the one to solve them, though she still has a bad reputation and is always the first to blame when magic causes a situation to go haywire.

In ''Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie'', Alex says that Justin was everything that she ever wanted to be and she was jealous of how smart he was and how kind he is, while Justin responds in kind saying how he is jealous of how everything comes easy to her, especially magic, which is why he strives so hard to be perfect.

In "''Alex Tells The World''", Alex, along with Justin, are found guilty for exposing magic to the human world. Professor Crumbs revealed that the "government" was actually a Wizard Test, and they failed. Since Alex told the "world" and Justin told the "government" about the wizards, their punishment is a drop from Level 3 to Level 1 for Wizards Studies, putting Max in the lead. Alex subsequently decided to quit the wizard competition believing that there was no way that she could win and focus on her relationship with Mason, her boyfriend. Unfortunately, it's turned out that, since she is now mortal, their relationship is against the wizard law, because werewolves always devour their (mortal) girlfriends, and they have no choice but to break up. But in "''Journey to the Center of Mason''", they get back again. Alex decides to not give up the competition and is now more determined than ever to win so her and Mason will not have to break up.

In the episode 15 "Wizard of the Year" she has been named Wizard of the Year, but in an interview the reports asked her if she and Chase are dating she said: "yes, is official" (joking), but then says "We're not dating. I have a boyfriend." They cut that out of the interview and Mason gets upset. Later in the episode they break up because Mason and Chase get into a fight at the banquet. Alex is appalled by this and says she and Mason, "need a break."

Alex's love interests

Brad Sherwood (Shane Lyons, season 1) – seen in "Potion Commotion"; Alex tries to get Brad to like her with a love potion, but she accidentally drinks both halves of the potion and falls in love with herself. Later, Brad came over to her house and gave her chocolates, on the same night of Justin's interview for the World School Summit. She soon found out that Brad only came over just to sabotage Justin's interview. Alex then broke up with him, even though they were never going out.

Riley (Brian Kubach, season 1) – long term; first seen in "I Almost Drowned in a Chocolate Fountain", where he and Alex went on a so-called 'date'. In "The Supernatural", Alex got Riley to believe that she was his good luck charm in baseball, and charmed the ball so his team would win each time. They broke up in "Alex's Spring Fling", but Alex made Riley jealous by dating mannequin she brought to life, and they got back together. Apparently they broke-up, because Riley was never to be seen again in season 2. And Alex dates Dean Moriarty afterwards.

Manny (Matt Smith, season 1) – A male mannequin that Alex used magic on to come to life, and briefly dated to make Riley jealous in "Alex's Spring Fling". Alex didn't like Manny Kin, but she pretended to so that Riley would get jealous.

Dean Moriarty (Daniel Samonas, season 2) – long term; first seen in "Smarty Pants", last seen in "Journey To The Center Of Mason". Dean discovered Alex liked him in "Graphic Novel", and admitted he liked her in "Racing". They started dating in "Alex's Brother, Maximan". Dean apparently moved away to Ohio (though has not been mentioned since "Saving WizTech") and he came back in "Wizards vs. Vampires: Dream Date" (because Alex was using magic to control his dreams to go on dates with him). They broke up because Dean wasn't acting as romantic as he was in his dreams Alex was controlling. When they broke up, he seemed alright with it; but when Alex went into yet another dream, but let Dean control it this time, he says the reason he acted that way was because he was hurt. They break up properly and Dean disappears in his dream. Dean returns in the episode, "Journey To The Center Of Mason" to try to get back together with Alex. But she says she is still in love with Mason.

Ronald Longcape, Jr. (Chad Duell, season 2) – seen in "Saving WizTech". Alex liked Ronald when they met, but she was still in a relationship with Dean. Ronald then shape-shifted into Dean (he froze the real Dean inside gelatin) and broke up with Alex so he could convince Alex into coming to WizTech with him. Ronald used her as part of his evil plan to take over WizTech, but his plan was foiled by Alex's love for Dean.

Zack Martin (Dylan Sprouse, season 2) – Zack Martin is seen in ''The Suite Life on Deck'' episode "Double Crossed" (part of the "Wizards on Deck With Hannah Montana" special), Zack is seen flirting with Alex. His obsession comes in handy when she needs to hide in his room, to which he responds by looking in the sky, putting his hands together saying, "thank you!" Later on, when he discovered that Alex used him to cover up a prank, he insults her by calling her cunning, sadistic, and cold-hearted, but it was immediately followed by, "Where have you been all my life?" Alex then showed a temporary interest in Zack but then Justin dragged her back to their cabin.

Javier (Xavier Torres) – seen in ''Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie''. He was a host at the hotel the Russos were staying at in the Caribbean. Alex had a small crush on him, but soon turned him down once she realized how she would rather spend time with her family.

Mason Greybeck (Gregg Sulkin, season 3 - present) – long term; first mentioned in season 2 episode " Future Harper" and first seen in "Alex Charms a Boy". In "Future Harper", Harper from the future asked Alex if Mason has already broken up with her, but Alex has not met him yet. In "Alex Charms a Boy", Mason turns out to be a transfer student from England, perfect in every way except for his artistic vision (and now Alex seems to have forgotten her conversation with Future Harper). Alex casts a spell on Mason, so that she becomes the inspiration for all the art he creates. In "Wizards vs. Werewolves", he gives her a necklace that supposedly glows on batteries, but after it is revealed that he is a werewolf and he learns that she is a wizard, he tells her that the necklace does not glow on batteries, but it's magical and glows when the wearer is in love with whomever put it on them, and Alex is proved to still be in love with him. However, after helping Justin rescue Juliet from the mummy it is revealed that he had known Juliet himself for 300 years and back then they had dated. When he sees her, he shouts out that he loves her. After that, Alex is left crying on her family's shoulders. So he takes her back to Transylvania (much to the disdain of Harper), where she threw the necklace. Alex puts the necklace on Mason and the heart glows, which means that he truly loves her. But it's too late, because he was bitten by Juliet (a vampire), and is transformed to a wolf forever. It is revealed by Harper in season 3 episode "Alex Russo, Matchmaker?" that he was Alex's longest relationship. He returns in Wizards Unleashed/Alex Saves Mason because Alex saw him on TV so they get back together when Alex makes him human again, with the help of her brothers. He and Alex stay together. In the "Wizards" season 3 finale, "Wizards Exposed", Mason helps the family when they get locked up by the government and eventually escape. In Season 4, Mason and Alex have to break up because Alex quit the Wizards Competition and when a mortal and werewolf date the werewolf always ends up eating the mortal. Later in the Season 4 episode "Journey to the Center of Mason", they get back together when Alex decides to rejoin the Wizard Competition so she and Mason can stay together. She even resorts to taking Justin's delinquent wizards' class so she can earn enough points to qualify for the competition. She meets his parents in ''Meet The Werewolves''. It is shown that Mason may have come from a wealthy family, as he states that their cave (which is located in the sewer under Manhattan) 'cost a fortune'. In "Beast Tamer", Mason had been avoiding Alex, even refusing to go to the Beast Bowl with her, which she won tickets to. Chase Riprock, an undefeated beast tamer, starts flirting with Alex. He gives her and her brothers a tour, and Alex stops him before they almost kiss. She comes back and tells Harper about what happened, and decides that she needs to be with Mason. When he rejects her offer, she goes back to the Beast Bowl. Harper goes to Mason and he tells her that the reason he hadn't been there for Alex was because he was working on a sculpture of the two of them for their one year anniversary. Harper then warns Mason that he may be losing Alex to Chase, and he rushes to the Beast Bowl. He explains to her why he hadn't been there for her, and they are seen trying to pull the sculpture back home. In "Wizard of the Year" Alex receives the Wizard of the Year award. When Mason and Alex are watching the wizard gossip channel, it is revealed that Alex may be going out with Chase Riprock. It is untrue, and Alex tries to tell Mason that but he refuses to believe her. Mason stood her up at the ceremony and then shows up in order to apologize to Alex. When he sees Alex and Chase sitting together he becomes jealous and turns into a werewolf. Chase and Mason fight over Alex and when they ask her which of them she chooses, she says neither. She is still in love with Mason, but she said that they "need a break".

George (Austin Butler, season 3) – He appears in the episode "Positive Alex" as the school band leader. He is asked out by Alex, but he refuses because of her negativity. However, he becomes attracted to her when she starts acting positive to prove him wrong. In the end, she became ''too'' positive because of the magical marker she used, and he was turned off.

Chase Riprock (Nick Roux, season 4) – An undefeated beast tamer who flirts with Alex. In the episode when Alex breaks up with Mason, it's because Mason attacked Chase out of jealousy because he thought Chase and Alex were a couple. In "Wizard of the Year" Chase comes to congratulate Alex on her achievement. When the paparazzi catch Alex and Chase together at her house they ask if they are dating. Alex says "Yup, it's official, we're not dating. I have a boyfriend." But, on T.V. they cut out everything she said except for "Yup, it's official." At the Wizard of the Year ceremony, Chase and Alex sit together. When Mason shows up him and Chase begin to fight. Alex breaks them apart and says she chooses neither of them. She says that Chase is a great guy, but she's not ready for another relationship.

Selena Marie Gomez (born July 22, 1992) is an American actress and singer best known for portraying Alex Russo in the Emmy Award-winning Disney Channel television series ''Wizards of Waverly Place''. She subsequently ventured into feature films and has starred in the television movies ''Another Cinderella Story'', ''Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie'', and ''Princess Protection Program''. She made her starring theatrical film debut in ''Ramona and Beezus''.

Her career has expanded into the music industry; Gomez is the lead singer and founder of the pop band Selena Gomez & the Scene, which has released two RIAA Gold certified studio albums, ''Kiss & Tell'' and ''A Year Without Rain'' and spawned three RIAA Platinum certified singles, "Naturally", "Who Says" and "Love You Like a Love Song".

Personal life

Gomez was born in Grand Prairie, Texas. She is the daughter of former stage actress Amanda Dawn "Mandy" Teefey (née Cornett) and Ricardo Joel Gomez. Her father is of Mexican ancestry, and her mother is of part Italian descent. Regarding her Hispanic heritage, Gomez said: "My family does have Quinceañeras, and we go to the communion church. We do everything that's Catholic, but we don't really have anything traditional except [that we] go to the park and have barbecues on Sundays after church." Her birth parents divorced when she was five years old, and she was raised as an only child by her working mother. In 2006, Mandy remarried Brian Teefey. She is named after Tejano singer Selena, who died almost three years after Gomez was born. In a 2009 interview with ''People'', Gomez mentioned that she developed an early interest in acting from watching her mother prepare for and act in theater productions. She earned a high school diploma through homeschooling in May 2010.

On February 27, 2011, Gomez attended the 2011 Vanity Fair Oscar Party with Canadian singer Justin Bieber, confirming several months of media speculation about a romantic relationship between the pair. The relationship has since continued to garner significant media attention.

Acting career

2002–06: ''Barney & Friends'' and early work

Gomez began her acting career at age seven, playing Gianna on ''Barney & Friends''. She later had minor roles in ''Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over'' and the TV film ''Walker, Texas Ranger: Trial By Fire''. Gomez also starred in the television movie ''Brain Zapped''. (Selena Gomez also found out that she wanted to be an actress because in E Special she states that "I would also watch my mom on stage do her lines".)

In 2004, Gomez was discovered by the Disney Channel in a USA-wide scouting. Gomez appeared as a guest star on ''The Suite Life of Zack & Cody'' and had a guest appearance – that later turned into a recurring role – on ''Hannah Montana'' from seasons two to three. Gomez previously taped two different pilots that were spin-offs to two previous Disney series. The first one, ''What's Stevie Thinking?'', was the spin-off to ''Lizzie McGuire''. Gomez played Stevie Sanchez, Miranda Sanchez's little sister. The other show was titled ''Arwin!'', the spin-off to ''The Suite Life of Zack & Cody'', in which she played Alexa. Neither series was picked up.

2007–09: ''Wizards of Waverly Place''

In early 2007 Gomez was cast in the Disney Channel series ''Wizards of Waverly Place'' as one of the three main characters, Alex Russo. The show premiered to an audience of 5.9 million, becoming a hit. Many news outlets began dubbing Gomez the next 'Miley Cyrus' causing some controversy and a reported 'feud'. Gomez clarified that there was no feud and that she was flattered by the comparison, saying: "It's a little overwhelming, but I think really, it's a compliment. She's obviously extremely successful, and I think she's a wonderful performer ... So being compared to her, I was very, very flattered."

In 2008, Gomez appeared in ''Another Cinderella Story'', the direct-to-DVD sequel to the 2004 Hilary Duff film, opposite Drew Seeley. She also had a minor voiceover role as one the Mayor's ninety-six daughters in ''Horton Hears a Who!'' which released in March of that year.

In February 2009, Gomez signed on to star as one of the two female leads in ''Ramona and Beezus'', a film adaption of the children's novel series by Beverly Cleary. Gomez stated that she felt no pressure in taking more adult roles: "I think I’m fully aware of my audience and I’m still just a kid myself. I wouldn’t do a role I don’t feel comfortable doing or that my audience wouldn’t feel comfortable seeing."

In June 2009, Gomez did a guest appearance as herself in one episode of best friend Demi Lovato's Disney Channel television show, ''Sonny with a Chance'', entitled "Battle of The Network Stars". That same month Gomez appeared alongside Lovato in the made-for-television Disney Channel movie, ''Princess Protection Program''.

In October 2008, Gomez was named UNICEF's spokesperson for the Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF campaign, which encouraged children to raise money on Halloween to help children around the world. She said that she was "extremely excited" to "encourage other kids to make a difference in the world."

In August 2009, a 17-year-old Gomez became the youngest UNICEF ambassador ever, passing fellow songstress Hayley Westenra, who was 18 when she was chosen. In her first official field mission, Gomez traveled to Ghana on September 4, 2009 for a week to witness first-hand the stark conditions of vulnerable children that lack vital necessities including clean water, nourishment, education and healthcare. Gomez explained during an interview with Associated Press that she wanted to use her star power to bring awareness to Ghana: “That’s why I feel very honored to have a voice that kids listen to and take into consideration [...] I had people on my tour asking me where IS Ghana, and they Googled it [...] and because I went there, they now know where Ghana is. So it’s pretty incredible.” Gomez said of her role as ambassador that: "Every day 25,000 children die from preventable causes. I stand with UNICEF in the belief that we can change that number from 25,000 to zero. I know we can achieve this because every moment, UNICEF is on the ground providing children with the lifesaving assistance needed to ensure zero becomes a reality."

Gomez was named spokesperson for UNICEF's 2009 Trick-or-Treat campaign, for the second year in a row. Gomez, who raised over $700,000 for the charity in 2008, stated that she hopes to be able to raise 1 million dollars in 2009.

In celebration of the 60th anniversary, Gomez and her band, The Scene, held a benefit concert donating all proceeds to the campaign.

In February 2011, Gomez traveled to Chile to witness and meet with the families of UNICEF's supported program, "Programa Puente" which helps families better understand and develops skills to deal effectively with early childhood education, development and other issues related to raising children. From her field trip experience, Gomez said "UNICEF is helping Chilean families get out of poverty, prevent violence within the home and promote education. To witness first hand these families' struggles, and also their hope and perseverance, was truly inspiring." In March 2011, Gomez participated in the UNICEF Tap Project's "Celebrity Tap Pack," limited-edition, custom-made water bottles featuring tap water from the homes of each celebrity advocate, in order to raise funds and increase profile for the clean water and sanitation programs. She is also featured in videos promoting the campaign.

I'm just looking to send a good message." Gomez, who has no background in fashion, teamed up with designers Tony Melillo and Sandra Campos, both who have worked with big-name fashion houses.

Justin Russo (born June 30, 1976) is a singer-songwriter-guitarist-pianist from Upstate New York. Russo began his career as a musician at the age of 18 by joining his older brother's band Hopewell, which focused mainly on psychedelic rock balladry and lengthy "shoegazing" soundscapes.
