Alex Rousseau is Danielle's daughter. Danielle gave birth to Alex approximately two months after wrecking on the island along with her research team. A couple of weeks after the birth, Danielle saw a column of smoke in the air. Soon afterwards, the Others came and took Alex from her. Danielle has been on the island for sixteen years now, looking for her daughter.
When pregnant Claire is kidnapped and taken to the Staff Station, she and Ethan "become friends" (though she was drugged at the time). She meets Alex there, who comes to her one day warning her that Ethan and the Others are going to kill her and take her baby. Alex helps Claire escape from the medical facility, though this is against Claire's will in her confused state, and she later can't remember anything.
When Claire gives birth to Aaron, Danielle kidnaps and tries to exchange him with the Others for Alex, but is unsuccessful and has to return him.
When Jack, Locke and Sawyer have an encounter with Tom, the bearded leader of the Others, he tells Jack and company to hand over their guns and leave. When Jack is unwilling to do so, Tom calls for Alex, asking her to "bring her out" (meaning Kate). Unseen, Alex asks Pickett to do it instead, so she can talk to Michael behind the scenes, and ask him if Claire is alright.
Later, when Kate and Sawyer are trying to escape their imprisonment on Hydra Station island, Alex helps them. In exchange, she wants them to help her free her boyfriend, Karl, who is being subjected to awful experiments. Through the use of many of the hidden hideouts she has on the island and a canoe, they are able to escape. However, Alex herself is made to stay by Juliet, who reminds her that Ben will not be happy if he wakes up from surgery, and she is not there. Alex believes Ben is her father, but it is not known if he is her biological father, or this is just something she has been led to believe since she was kidnapped as a baby.
