Abandoned as an infant, Alex escaped a horrible group home after her first love, Ashley, was murdered.

Taking matters into her own hands, Alex meant to retalliate against their caretaker, but ended up shooting her in self defense.

Alex ran, fearing she'd be incarcerated, only to collapse at the gates of North Oak, which she is secretly the heir to.

Full name: Alexandra Paige Anderson
