Alex

Alexandra Stillwell is a fancharacter created in 2009 by Misjudgment (Kylea Riffle). This artist is no longer active, as her DeviantART account got deactivated in 2014.

The character's backstory was inspired by Shy Keenan's and Alex was created with the intention to be an icon for sexual abuse awareness.

The artist and character never made a return to the website and there's uncertainty about the reason why she left. Despite her absence, some fans are still drawing fanart of Alex.

Backstory
Alex used to live in England with her father. As he had killed her mother and was sexually abusing her, she felt urged to run away from home. She managed to escape the country and had to live on the streets for a few years, until she was saved and taken in by her aunt.

When Alex shows up in Peach Creek, she is welcomed in by the main gang and Edd becomes her closest friend. Their relationship ends in romance.

Appearance
Alex is skinny, has blue eyes, and wavy auburn hair with side-swept bangs. She's described to be a girl of average appearance.

She commonly wears a violet sweater that hangs on her shoulders, a pink tank top underneath, blue pants and pink shoes, but is also depicted wearing other clothes.

Criticism and Misjudgment's departure
Alex' backstory earned the character a fair amount of popularity within the Ed, Edd n Eddy fanbase and she inspired some artists to make similar OC's. Abbi, Eleanor and Annabelle are considered the most noticeable examples and their creators were not spared from criticism.

Nevertheless, Alex was also questioned and some commented that her past did not fit inside of the world of Ed, Edd n Eddy. It was also noted that the original cast received little attention and were of no importance in Alex' story, despite them living with each other. When the focus became set on the romance between her and Edd, her position as a sexual abuse icon was doubted and her suffering seen as a tactic to make the character interesting.

Because Alex was made for a bigger cause and Misjudgment inserted elements of her own life into her, it's guessed that she quit DeviantART because the above criticism hit her personally.
