Alex Danvers is a female television character who features in Supergirl.

Biography

Alexandra Danvers was born in 1989 in Midvale to her parents both of whom were scientists named Jeremiah Danvers and Eliza Danvers. When she was six years old, Alex and her parents visited Nagano, Japan for the summer. Alex grew homesick so one night, a local village girl helped her sneak down to one of the temples. There, Alex wrote down a wish and placed the paper in a crack in the wall in the hopes that it would come true. The girl then taught Alex a rhyme, "yubikiri genman, uso tsuitara," which means "pinky swear." When she was 8 years old, Alex met and became best friends with Josie. Since early childhood, Alex displayed a gifted intellect and brilliant attitude towards science. As a teenager, she enrolled in Midvale Junior High, obtaining remarkable results. The star of her family, when Kara arrived in 2003, Alex was jealous of her newly-adoptive sister due to her abilities and dismayed at the fact that Kara easily excelled at math and science. Thus, she was secretly happy when Kara decided not to use her powers. At first resentful of that "strange girl" who came into her life for constantly following her around at school and embarrassing her in front of her friends, Alex soon began to warm up to Kara and acted as her big sister, often comforting her when she was afraid or sad. At some point in junior high, Alex came down with chicken pox. One night, Kara took Alex flying, in spite of the latter's initial protests. During the adventure, Alex told Kara the story about her summer trip to Nagano and taught her sister the rhyme which the girl from the village taught her. Unfortunately, due to that night, the D.E.O. subsequently found out about Kara. They forced Alex's father to work for them in exchange for not taking Kara away. One year later, Jeremiah "died" protecting a Martian from the D.E.O.'s ruthless director Hank Henshaw, but Eliza told Alex and Kara that he was killed in a plane crash.
