Alex Darkstone

Alex Darkstone
Alex is quite a main character in Riddle And Death and one of the main suspects.

Pre-Hogwarts
Mainly unknown but was raised with her older sporty brother Xavier. Her mother was a muggleborn and her father was pure-blood. Her mother was related to Lily Evans.

Chapter 2- Riddle And Death
“Hi, umm can me and Alex come in here?” a young girls voice said. There were two girls, first years, standing in the doorway. One, Alex, had long red hair and blue eyes. The other one had brown hair tied up in a ponytail, spectre-specs perceived on her head. I recognise her faintly.

This is the first mention of her, appearing besides Ginny Lovegood jr.

Sapphire and Emelia start fangirling over Ginny and Alex boasts about how she’s related to Harry. This is instantly dismissed by Emelia.

Chapter 3
Alex is sorted into Gryffindor in this chapter.

Chapter 6
Alex knocks on the door to the Hogwarts Detectives Agency with her boyfriend, Justin Richards and informs them of the newest murder. Emelia brags to Emma about having reached the door to let them in first.

Chapter 9
This the Potions lesson scene. Alex is the student who grabs Sapphire’s wrist and stops her from putting two Hippogriff feathers in. She then says Sapphire is stupid and tells her she only needed one feather.

Chapter 13
At the end of this chapter Emelia hints that Alex is the murderer

Chapter 14
Emelia directly says she suspects Alex. She then finds Knione the owl, and suspects it to be Alex’s. Then she remembers Alex saying she doesn’t have an owl.

Chapter 7- Riddle And Faith
Alex is shown as being in Severus Snape’s class. She judges Amora skeptically when Amora hands her a textbook. Amora mentions how she judges Alex because of her pink hair.

Trivia

 * Alex is very similar to Lily Gryffindor, by the fact she is related to Harry, appears to be a main character, and then disapears
 * The name Alexandra means “to defend” may be oxymoronic since the fear that she is the murderer2846B172-EF08-4E39-B0FB-F73D0A4DD0B7.jpeg
 * The name Darkstone may respond to the gothicness of her personality. Though her pink hair contacts against it.
 * Her hair suddenly changes colour in the start of the book from red to pink
 * Amora doesn’t comment on her hair breaking the rules of natural hair colour only, hinting that the hair is natural.
