Publicly, she's well known for being a part of the Kardashian clan, but she was raised by her father more than her mother, really. She was born to Kris Jenner and Pierce Collins, a couple who were never really a real couple. Kris stepped out on Bruce a couple of times after the birth of their daughter Kendall, and that was how Alexandra was created. For the first year of her life, Kris tried to play it off as if she was Bruce's child, but everyone within the family knew that she wasn't. Pierce was left in the dark until Alexa was two, and he was informed that she was her child. At that point, the family wasn't very famous. Kris' ex-husband Robert was a prominent lawyer in Hollywood and was still reeling from his OJ victory, but fame only really hit the family when Lex was nine, and her sister's sex tape was leaked, followed by the beginning of their reality television show. Before this time, she spent five days a week with her mother (which usually actually meant Bruce or a nanny), and two days a week with Pierce and Owen. Once the show began, her mother's focus completely, and without an attempt to hide it, switched over to her three older sisters.
Pierce was adamant that he didn't want Lex involved in the show, and she and Kendall barely were for a while, but he still didn't like it. Kris wasn't focusing on them at that point, so she didn't mind that Pierce began to take Alexandra for six days out of the week, and only allowed her to stay with her mother when it was necessary for filming. She grew up close to her sisters, mostly Khloe and Kendall, and was surprisingly close with Bruce, but most of her life that she can remember was spent being raised by Pierce. Her families were always so separate, and so different, that a lot of the time, her mom's side feels like her fake family, or "TV family", while Pierce and Owen are her actual family. Whether she wants to admit it or not, they're the ones who have always had her best intentions at heart. Her father has always refused to be involved in the press, the show, or any public interviews, which is why it's easy for Kris to get away with saying that she basically raises her alone. So, while the outside world saw her as one of the Kardashians, it's not really true. That doesn't mean that sometimes she doesn't want to be, though.
Her mother is so much more relaxed than her father, and yeah, it's possible that she exploits some of their personal information for ratings, as a rebellious teenager, being able to go to clubs, drink underage and use drugs without getting in trouble was enticing. Living under her mother's roof seemed much easier than living under her father's, so once she hit her teenage years, she began to request to stay at her mom's house more. Her father knew it wasn't a good idea, so unbeknownst to the public, he fought Kris for primary custody of Kylie when she was thirteen, and won. One of the conditions of the agreement was that the decision not be made public and she continue to appear on the show regularly. It was done in her best interest, but it made her resent her brother and father, and stepmother too (despite knowing that the woman had nothing to do with it).
All of her earnings from when she was on the show from before she turned eighteen were put in a trust that she doesn't have access to until she turns twenty-one, which is the only reason why she's still living at her father's now that she's eighteen. She graduated high school a couple of months back but has no plans to continue her education or get a job. For now, she's just living life and wishing her dad and stepbrother would stop policing her for doing so.
Secret(s):
She's been sleeping with CJ sporadically over the past few months, and she thinks she's in love with him.
Independent, extroverted, gregarious, adventurous
Character Flaws:
Rebellious, selfish, irresponsible, moody, insecure
Personality:
To those who know her, it's clear that Alexandra is an extrovert rather than an introvert. She's sociable, gregarious, adventurous and confident. She savors selfies, photo shoots and and events where she can show off her appearance, and doesn't mind taking risks with her outfits and style. Her friends know her as a fun-loving and exciting girl who can't resist singing every song that comes on during car rides, and sneaking out at night to go to a party or just get In-N-Out. While she appreciates some of the finer things in life, she's simple at heart and something as simple as going to the beach with close friends can make her happy.
Her independence is something that has caused much controversy over the past few years. It's a positive trait in many aspects, since she isn't easily influenced by other people and has a strong willed personality. She doesn't mind setting new trends and standing out and is rarely a "follower" of a group. However, it can be argued that Alexandra wants to be independent more than she actually is, and that more than being independent, she's rebellious. If she doesn't want to do something, she's not going to do it, but if she's told to do something but someone of authority, she's going to do the complete opposite of what they say. It's passive aggressive, counterproductive and immature, but she's addicted to the attention and getting it in a negative fashion is the only way she really knows. She can't support herself financially and has no plans on going off to college or starting a career. Although she isn't going to be the girl who can be talked by a group of her peers into doing something, there are certain people in her life who have a big influence on her (ex. her mother and sisters) and her actions become less of her own when she's around them.
Her level of maturity depends on who you ask. When you look at the way she acts in public, you would imagine her to be a twenty-five-year-old. She's been crashing the club scene since she was sixteen, is an experienced alcohol user and even experiments with cocaine and ecstasy when it's given to her. If she's in the mood, she can have in-depth conversations with people and is well-spoken enough during interviews and such to come across as mature. The way she dresses has been a hot topic for people with nothing better to do, and overall, people tend to think that she acts too old for her age. She is only eighteen, though, which means she can be naive, reckless and immature. A lot of the "mature" things she does are done to spite her father or garner attention, both of which are more childish than they are mature. The media has painted a picture of her being the next Lindsay Lohan or Paris Hilton - the child who grew up too fast, with everything given to them, and will eventually take a painful spiral downward. They might not be wrong.

Fears:
Going to the dentist: She's the type who needs to get sedated for something as simple as a routine cleaning
Cats: It's definitely more of a fear than just a simple dislike. She's probably not going to come over if she knows you have a cat.
Falling: She isn't necessarily scared of heights since she can fly without a problem, but she doesn't do well on ladders, cliffs, etc. where she has a chance of falling far.
The media: She's constantly a target for the tabloids and even though she tries not to ever comment on any of the bizarre rumors, it scares her that they are able to spread lies to so many people.
Aspirations:
Her father insists that she go to college but Alexandra has no desire to go to school ever again. She doesn't know what she wants to do with her life really, but imagines that it will end up having to do with fashion or makeup.
