OTHER — Alex is a werewolf. After being bitten at age 9, she was registered in the Ministry to be kept under watch and to make sure she remained contained during full moons. Because of her werewolf status, she is unable to walk about freely in the wizarding world without a second person or is under restrictions. Upon attending Hogwarts though, Alex was put under the protection of Dumbledore and McGonagall, the two being responsible for her well being. Snape eventually was added into it and he was the one who helped supply the young student with wolfsbane potions.
In Year 4, Alex was kicked out of her own home by her parents. Thankfully, Remus Lupin welcomed her into his home and Sirius Black welcomed her anytime to live in Grimmauld Place. From The Goblet of Fire and forward, Alex switches between living with Remus and Sirius, occasionally staying with the Weasleys whenever Harry would be there.

SUMMARIZED STORY— Alex was born October 31, 1979, to Muggles Richard and Friday Kingsley. From a young age, their daughter showed signs of magic. Her hair and eyes could change colors; her features could become mixed with ethnicities the parents weren't; and their daughter could make something magically happen (lights switching off, power randomly turning on, etc). As Alex grew older, the more her parents became terrified of her. They couldn't understand why she could do the things she could, and this ended with them isolating her.
At age 9, a tragedy struck the Kingsley family. Alex had been playing outside with her younger brother and she was bitten by a werewolf and practically left to die. Her younger brother, Aidan, found her since they were playing hide n' seek and screamed for their parents to help.
Time skip to when Alex is attending Hogwarts, Alex was sorted into Hufflepuff. A lot of students knew what she was because of the jagged scars and eyepatch over her left eye, and they were terrified of her. In her first year, Alex only made one friend, and that was with Harry Potter. Ron and Hermione were a bit skeptical, but eventually they befriended the young girl.
In Year 2, it didn't take long for Alex to be petrified by the Basilisk. She was petrified the entire time of the events. Although, Alex was able to witness the embarrassing and foolish happenings of Gilderoy Lockhart and even joined in the sniveling and trash talk the boys did about him.
In Year 3, Alex was made Hufflepuff Seeker on the Quidditch team and was a student left behind with Harry. Since the two didn't have their permission slips signed, Alex and Harry used their free time to get to know each other better and work on assignments. In this year, Alex started to develop a crush on her best friend, but she never said anything in fear of making him uncomfortable. Instead, she kept the emotions bottled up. In other chances of free time, Alex would talk with Professor Lupin since she figured out he was like her (also learned Patronus charm). The trio + Alex were involved in the incidents of Sirius Black.
In Year 4, this was when Alex's crush on Harry Potter became prevalent, and it became obvious he liked her back. Of course, with the two being awkward and completely unknowing of their emotions, they didn't even touch on it. Instead, they would study together or only talk about Quidditch. Since this was the year of the Triwizard Tournament and other schools joined them, Alex met a future long time friend from Durmstrang, Klaus Victore. He was a charming young man—a fifth year there, and he found her being a werewolf extremely interesting. He wasn't terrified of her nor did he make her feel like an animal. He was respectful and made sure to ask questions about things he wasn't sure about. This year was also the year Alex was outed to the public by Rita Skeeter.
In Year 5, Alex's life became a living hell. With Dolores Umbridge coming to Hogwarts and practically taking over, Alex was beyond furious when Umbridge put restrictions and stripped her of rights. She found herself in detention almost everyday and was a menace to the woman when she found the opportunity to. To make matters worse, she found herself more alone than ever. Dumbledore wouldn't talk to her; McGonagall was constantly busy; and Harry was pushing her away. Anytime Alex tried to help him, he would get angry and eventually she stopped. She had Luna to talk to every now and then, and Ron and Hermione studied with her occasionally; and Hagrid wasn't there to teach that year. When Harry started Dumbledore's Army, Alex was the first to sign up. She hated Umbridge with a passion, and joining an illegal student group felt liberating. Time skip to the end, Alex and the small group of others witness the fight against Voldemort's Death Eaters in the end of the movie and the death of Sirius Black.
In Year 6, Alex befriended Draco. She had found him crying under a willow tree by the Lake and had gently asked him what was wrong. While he was secretive about it, he let the girl hug him close and he even found himself seeking her out when his emotions clashed. Alex didn't spend much time with the Trio, but she was a favorite in Slughorn's Potions Class. She spent most of her time speaking with Draco, but her time at Hogwarts would soon be over.
Year 7, Alex didn't come to Hogwarts. Instead, she was with the Order and helping Harry hunt down the Horcruxes tied to Voldemort. Unfortunately, Alex was caught and put under a probation Internship under Dolores Umbridge as an Auror who took care of Muggle related happenings. It was only when she met the Trio again in their undercover mission to get the Locket that Alex escaped and ran with them. She travelled alongside them as they made their plans up as they went. She helped in getting supplies (would make her features change before going into Death Eater plagued places) and made sure to keep Snatchers off them.
When they were taken to the Malfoy Mansion, Alex and Hermione were the ones tortured while Ron and Harry were locked away. Draco was forced to torture her, but Alex wasn't angry with him nor held any hatred. She repeated over and over that it was okay and it wasn't his fault. She understood he didn't have a choice, and forgave him when he cried he was sorry.
At the Battle of Hogwarts, Alex witnessed the deaths of her classmates and the death of Fred. He was killed in front of her after she was tortured by the Cruciatus curse and left for dead. Seeing the dead bodies of Remus and Tonks was her first breaking point and she broke down in Harry's arms.
Her second breaking point was when Harry walked to the Dark Forest to meet his death. She had sprinted after him before he entered, and while it wasn't exactly an appropriate time, she kissed him. It took him a moment to register what was happening, but Alex wanted him to know her true feelings before he was killed by Voldemort. Harry and Alex held each other for a moment before he bid her goodbye.
The last battle where Voldemort was finally killed by Harry, Alex killed the Death Eater who killed Fred and tortured her.
In the conclusion of Alex's story, she graduated and became an Auror for the Ministry. She and Harry married, the two having kids and adopting Teddy Lupin. Alex remained an Auror until the age of 52. She retired with many awards to her name and Harry followed suit. Her name was remembered in many history books and her influence of fighting for Werewolf Rights greatly affected the Wizarding World. She was a great Witch, and even went to Hogwarts to teach as a professor for Defense Against The Dark Arts. She remained a teacher for the rest of her career.
