Personality:
Alex’s young life was shaped by fairy tales, listening to the stories that her grandfather told her night after night. It wasn’t until she was older, that she realized the fairy tale was a true story of Nazis and treasure and by that time it had become an obsession. The obsession wasn’t to have it like the Great White Whale of Moby Dick, but that it was the only connection to her grandfather, the last connection she had to her family. While it may be surprising for most to think that family and connections are important to Alex, they are. It doesn’t mean that she puts down roots or pines for that picket fence, it means that she has a collection of resources for fencing and a few trusted people that she holds close. Those are her version of family.
That also doesn’t mean that if you’re in that close trusted group she won’t go after your ass if you cut her out. Thieves cut each other out from time to time, it’s what they do and it’s accepted. It means that she will forgive you and move on in a thieves will be thieves kind of way as she did with Neal and Mozzie regarding the treasure. But if you’re not in that trusted group, then she can hold a grudge until hell freezes over. The trust also extends to people that her trusted allies hold close. When Alex learned that Neal had used the treasure to help Elizabeth, she might have twitched, bitched and moaned about it, but ultimately she got it and didn’t begrudge that. Other things she’d begrudge and of course she got her own back for that, but that’s what Neal and Alex do. They one up each other while having each other’s back. It was her feelings for Neal, that had Alex revealing that Gerhard was her grandfather to Adler so that Neal could deactivate a bomb. She put Neal before the treasure and that is a rarity for Alex, showing just how much he means to her.
Learning that the treasure really did exist, had Alex changing course in her life. She hadn’t dreamed about being a con man, she hadn’t needed the skills to survive the streets, it was a means to an end to get what she considered her legacy. The fact that she liked grifting, she liked dealing in stolen objects, and she liked the adrenalin that came with the con was just an added bonus to that end game. When she went back to stealing and fencing to make a living, it was the adrenalin that drew her. She could have done anything, but she’d done grifting more years than she hadn’t and the truth of the matter was, Alex had become accustomed to the lifestyle and wasn’t about to give it up.
She had managed to get away with most things in her life by flashing a smile and leg, but had not planned carefully only once, that resulted in being sent to a Greek prison. Though Alex being Alex, she made a deal to get out of prison. She’d argue that it was sweeter than Neal’s deal because she wasn’t harnessed to a Fed and it had also given her a villa full of treasures. That smugness will dissipate when she goes to Teleios because everyone is viewed as equal and while prison is like that in a way, with pecking order inside of it from grievous to petty, this isn’t like that. It’s also not something that she can con her way out of. Of course that will take a while for that last tidbit of reality to sink in since she doesn’t believe there isn’t anything she can’t con her way out of.

[Alex adjusted her neckline of her short dress just a little bit lower and the hemline just a little bit higher before stepping out of the car, revealing a nice long tan leg. She headed over to the security guard’s shack with a map in hand and a rueful expression.]
I am so embarrassed but I decided to save money and not get a GPS and now I’m lost. I really hope that you can help me. How far am I from the Geverelli Villa?
[To the guard, it seemed that her full attention was on him, but the reality was that she was checking the perimeter cameras and what type of security they had on the gates. Alex’s weight shifted just enough to let her see over the guard’s shoulder at the monitors and phone system. The fact that it afforded the man a better look down her cleavage was an added bonus of distraction. When she’d got the information that she needed, Alex smiled widely at him.]
Thank you so much. When you get off duty, stop by the villa and tell them Carmela invited you to the party.
[Alex winked and turned back toward her car, inwardly smiling at how smoothly the first part of the plan was coming together. ]
