Alexandra a.k.a. Alex, sometimes known by her secret identity TCC, is Jonas's aunt and owner of the house that Bree, Daniel, and Jonas stayed at from the end of On The Road Again through Alex Is.... She is a fashion designer, with a previous interest in photography.

Background

Not much is known about her past, except for that she was married and that she took part in a "Semester at Sea" program in highschool, where she "sailed the world" and learned "knots and stuff". Her mother was a "fruitcake", according to Alex, and married Jonas's grandfather, who was a lot older than her. After Alex'as mom and Jonas's parents had a falling out, Alex became interested in her religion and was devastated after her mother's death.

Involvement with the Resistance

Daniel and Alex heat things up.

After discovering his parents were involved with a Resistance against the Order, Jonas decided to head to Alex's house where supposedly there was information regarding the resistance his parents formed, hoping to find out anything useful. When the Trio arrived, Alex was reportedly on vacation in Italy.

When Jonas secretly broke into Alex's office and discovered a scrapbook containing news clippings from Jonas's parents' disappearance, as well as clippings from several other disappearances that are likely related, he intially interpreted this to mean that Alex could be an ally.

On the same day that Bree left to stay with Tachyon, Jonas and Daniel picked Alex up from the airport. Before even meeting her in person, Daniel began showing an attraction for her and giving her special attention whenever around her. This interest was fueled by the facts that, having heard she was divorced, he knew she was available, and that he knew from an online dating profile of hers that she was into younger guys. Alex returned his feelings, resulting in public flirting at Alex's fashion industry party, which infuriated Jonas.

Involvement with the Order

Alex turns on her family.

Alex's loyalty was questioned however by Bree and Tachyon who thought otherwise, based on a photo seen in the background of Uncle Dan. In the video Alex Is... it was revealed that Alex was aware of the Order, in which she gave a speech telling the Trio to not worry about so much about her, but rather "about what will almost certainly come after me. There are elements within the Order that will stop at nothing to reclaim your cute little friend."

After the kidnapping of Bree, Daniel and Jonas, the three decide to to follow Alex. While Daniel spied on Alex in her house in Mexico, he learned that she was still affilated with the Order. When Bree confronted Alex, Alex claimed that the Order told her what to say in Jonas's video Alex Is... and that she wasn't happy about hearing their kidnapping. Believing her, the Trio later forgave Alex for what she did.

Yet shortly after a fun day on the beach, Lucy showed up . When the Trio realized that Alex contacted the Order, Alex responded, "They're here for me. They don't need you anymore, Bree. They have another girl!" After the confrontation, Alex left with Lucy. Sometime after the confrontation in Mexico, Alex's home was put up for sale, with everything once inside it now gone.

Switching sides

Alex reveals her true colors.

After the group had received several coded messages by a certain "TCC" in Hymn of One promotional videos, it was finally revealed in Mission Possible that that was, in fact, Alex, who had switched sides; she helped the group steal a blood sample of Bree's (with which Spencer could create the serum), and took off in secrecy later that day. She gave the group some vital information on their enemies, and, interestingly, took full responsibility for what happened to them in Las Vegas.
Alex's current wherabouts are best explained with the opening line of her last video:

So, I am on my way to a place that will remain nameless, and I'll probably be there for a very long time [...]

How Old is She?

There continues to be speculation regarding the age of Alex.

Facts:

• In My Hand Hurts, Jonas says that he hasn't seen Alex since he was 13, at which time she was near the age he is now, 19.
• In Beach Bum, Daniel says that Alex is not much older than they.
• In Alex Is..., Alex says that she gave up photography at her 26th birthday party.

Alex is therefore assumed to be in her late twenties. This was confirmed by Glenn Rubenstein on his radio show. [1]
