A few moons after her 13th name day, soldiers from the Garlean Empire arrived at the island. They too had come to study the strange phenomena. While the Sauveterre's motives were academic, the Garleans were attempting to weaponize the phenomena. He mother hide away their most important research to prevent its theft at the hands of the soldiers. Once the soldiers discovered them, they demanded the family hand over their research. The family refused not wanting to give the soldiers something that could be used to harm people. Frustrated, the commander ordered his men to execute the family and take everything at the camp. | A few moons after her 13th name day, soldiers from the Garlean Empire arrived at the island.

At the age of 19, the Dawnchaser ran into a Garlean ship and fled into a massive storm out at sea. Whether it was the storm or the persistent attacks from the Garlean ship, the Dawnchaser sank. Alex, Sophie, Zoe, and a half dozen crew members survived but Geoffroy and Remy were not as lucky. Alex joined the Maelstrom a few moons later to help support her adopted sisters. She saw this as an opportunity to finally get revenge on the deaths of her two families on the Garleans. Her adopted sisters would follow suite and join up as well. | At the age of 19, the Dawnchaser ran into a Garlean ship and fled into a massive storm out at sea.

The sisters were all present at the Battle of Carteneau. On the final day of the descent of the lesser moon of Dalamud, the sisters were in the thick of the fighting. Alex tried to get her sisters to retreat but communications were down. The might of the elder primal took the last of her family from her on that day. On that day she became known as cursed by the surviving members of her unit. This nickname caused few people to want to work with her as they were afraid that her 'curse' would kill them. She felt ostracized and left the Maelstrom after she recovered. Not knowing what to do and wishing she had died in the battle she returned to the sea. | The sisters were all present at the Battle of Carteneau.

During this time she earned her nickname of the 'Black Coeurl' since those who crossed her met with an ill fate. After a year of going from whatever job paid the most to the next, Alex had a dream about her mother. She felt as though she finally needed closure for the death of her parents and booked passage for the island. She visited the simple graves of her parents and stayed on the island. One drunken night she roamed the island for the best place to view the starry night sky from. During this she stumbled upon a hidden cache of journals and research from her parents. Included among them was a letter from her father. The letter told her the journals were important and she had to keep them from falling into the wrong hands. Curiosity took hold of her and she opened the journals, what could be so important? Why would they give their lives to protect this? Why did they leave her alone? | During this time she earned her nickname of the 'Black Coeurl' since those who crossed her met with an ill fate.
