Character information

Alex is the daughter of Aron and Miranda DuBaer and twin sister of Camryn Barnes, or Apolla DuBaer who was born as the sun was rising and wears the sun amulet. Alex, the older twin, was born as the moon was setting, and wears the moon amulet. Alex was born as Artemis, and her twin sister Cam who is two minutes younger, as Apolla. Their names are deviated 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 knows of Alex's powers but does 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 Alex back but Fredo killed him before he got the chance.

Alex 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, her first encounter of her magical powers was at school when she read a guys mind and makes a basketball fly into a girls nose.

For summer vacation, the Barneses 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 argues that Sara is her real and only mother but eventually she comes around to learning about her past.

She lives with her friend Lucinda, and meets Camryn at a fashion store, where she was trying to get a job and was hired. At the beginning of the film she was always cautious, but as the film came to the end, the tables flipped and it was Camryn who become the twin of caution and disbelief.
