While I can't speak from a view in the LGBTQ+, I have to say that the character wasn't very good from a writing standpoint

Alex Fierro is someone who added nothing new to the narrative of the second Magnus book (Her LGBTQ+ status notwithstanding) and could be removed from the story with no issues. Rick wanted her to be some strong, independent kickbutt person with a "sassy" attitude but she came off to me as a mostly rude person and was a major Jerk but not in the fun way or even in the way of Clarisse:She spends her time insulting the Gods in the same vicinity as them (Unlike when Percy and Annabeth called out Hera on her crap treatment of Nico, or Jason who calls out Jupiter who nearly is about to blast the boy for his insolence), which annoyed me because they're STRONGER than her (Yeah Yeah, I know that Demigods in certain stories and even in this series have fought/defeated Gods before but still.) and if they were like the Olympians she'd be dead by now or at the least cursed.

Really, her only silver lining was helping Sam with no strings attached.
