Stalex

Stalex is the femslash ship between Alex Russo and Stevie Nichols from the Wizards of Waverly Place fandom.

Canon
Alex and Stevie meet for the first time while Alex is on Saturday detention. Stevie walks in and Alex is instantly intrigued by her handling the bullies like she was their boss. Alex asks her who she is and Stevie just replies with some clever comeback. Alex is amazed by this and raises her eyebrow, and Mr. Laritate is quick to say that Stevie makes Alex look like Justin, Alex's brother, who is a good student. After Mr. Laritate dismisses the students in detention, Alex sticks around trying to find who was the person who pasted all of Justin's candidacy posters in the room, which got her and Justin detained in the first place. Alex never suspects Stevie, even though she's the one who did it. And after Stevie reveals this herself in front of Mr. Laritate, Alex and the whole school, Alex presses her on her true intentions. And Stevie compliments Alex by calling her "the second troublemaker in the school." Alex is instantly charmed by Stevie, and as she sits beside her and touches her knee, she remarks that her plan was "masterful," complimenting Stevie back. She tells Stevie that she only has to "work on her evil laugh," and they can be good friends, which makes Stevie smirk at Alex, which also makes Harper jealous.

Harper's jealousy will continue as Alex and Stevie get closer and closer. They even team up at lunch because they are tired of Harper's daily Shakespeare performances in the cafeteria. They decide that they want their favorite rock band, that they mutually love, to play instead. So Stevie pressures Justin to make it happen since she made him win the student body president position. However, Justin just brings the best he could get, which was a jazz band, but this does not satisfy Stevie's demands. Anyways, Alex and Stevie get to go to their favorite band's performance in the park later on. And afterwards, Stevie gets to witness one of Alex and Justin's most serious fights, which makes her use her own magic for the first time. Stevie exposes herself to Harper, who might've outed her as a wizard, just so she could help Alex make amends with Justin. Later on, the two of them have an intimate conversation about Alex's brother, where Stevie shared some of her past too.

However, after Harper remembers that she knows Stevie is a wizard (because Stevie used her magic to erase Harper's memory), she and Alex go to confront Stevie at school. Stevie confesses that she is a wizard and uses her magic to send a guy from school down a portal on the ground, which amazes Alex. This only makes Alex and Stevie become closer to one another, as Harper gets even more jealous. Alex and Stevie teleport to have lunch together, leaving Harper behind. Later, when they have to build the school float for the upcoming school parade, the two of them do the same, teleporting to go hang out together somewhere far away, while Justin and a heartbroken Harper get left behind. This also prompts one of Alex and Harper's biggest fights in the series.

Finally, after Harper and Alex make up, the two of them, alongside Justin, realize that Stevie is planning a revolution in the Russo's house, united with tons of wizards that also object to the arbitrary rules of the system that decides who gets to be the wizard of the family. While Justin thinks Stevie's cause is dangerous, Alex finds it quite appealing. So Stevie teleports her near her and explains her plan to Alex.

Fanon
Stalex has become one of Alex's most popular femslash ships after fans of the series started to realize the chemistry the two of them had during the episodes Stevie was in. Many fans realized that it would've made a lot of sense for Stevie to be one of Alex's many romantic interests in the series, but that it didn't happen due to Disney's LGBT+ censoring during the 2010s.
