Galaxy Stern

"I am a daughter of Lethe, and the wolves are at the door."

- Ninth House, p. 381

Galaxy "Alex" Stern is the main protagonist of Ninth House (2019).

Early Life
Alex was born to a Jewish mother, Mira. She has never known her father. Her mother raised her, and Alex also had a close relationship with her grandmother. Alex always had the ability to see Grays, and she felt unsafe and uncomfortable because of them from a very young age. Alex realized they were dangerous when a Gray sexually assaulted her during a school trip. Afterwards, Alex was ostracized and shamed by her classmates, who did not believe her or take her seriously and thought she was seeking attention; Alex's teachers thought she was acting out, while her mother was unable to help her.

Alone and with no friends, Alex met an older girl, Mosh, and her group of friends, including Len. They introduced Alex to drugs, and Alex quickly learned that alcohol and certain kinds of drugs would prevent her from seeing Grays. However, drug addiction quickly took over Alex's life. She dropped out of high-school at age fifteen.
