Alexandra Marie Bailey (known as Alex Bailey) is an original character
from The Land of Stories series, and one of the two main characters of the
series. Alex is a girl of school-going age (She turns 12 in the first book)
from Our World who used to live in a small rental house with her twin brother
Conner and her mother Charlotte. Her father, John Bailey, died shortly before
she and her brother were 11. While Conner and Charlotte move into Dr. Bob's
house after their second adventure in The Enchantress Returns, Alex stays in
the Land of Stories. Her family explains her absence by saying she is going to
a school in Vermont.
Appearance
"She was a pretty girl with bright blue eyes and short
strawberry-blonde hair that was always kept neatly out of her face with a
headband." Though she and Conner are twins, they haven't "looked like
identical twins since they were four years old" and "Charlotte
stopped dressing them in the same outfits every day". At the conclusion of
Worlds Collide, in the future, though her hair had become white with old age,
Alex was still a beautiful bright-eyed woman, and she wore a sparkling robe and
headband made of silver flowers.
