Alaska Young is a supporting character in the book Looking for Alaska
Alaska is the wild, moody, unpredictable and enigmatic girl who captures Miles' attention and heart from the first time he meets her. She acts as a confidant to her friends, frequently assisting them in personal matters, as well as dealing in cigarettes and alcohol.
Miles Halter is instantly attracted to her, but unfortunately Alaska has a long distance boyfriend (Jake). Alaska is the type to always have a boyfriend. She is experienced with boys.
Alaska declared in the book that she does not have a home. She never wants to go visit home and stays at Culver Creek during most holidays. She convinces Pudge to stay with her at school over Thanksgiving. Alaska is very flirty and forward with Miles, but tried her hardest to not let things get beyond the flirting stage, because she loves her boyfriend.
Alaska has a fake ID, which helps her get Strawberry Hill wine and cigarettes from town. She buries the wine at the soccer field so it's never found. Miles is the only person to know about where Alaska stashes her wine.
Death
Alaska died in a fatal car accident. The Eagle explains to Miles that the road was blocked off as a truck had an accident, Alaska who was both intoxicated and upset drove straight into the cop car. During the crash her chest hit the steering wheel killing her instantly, there weren't any visible injuries other a bit of blood from her nose.
It is believed for some time throughout the novel that Alaska drove into the car intentionally as a way to commit suicide. But there is also a nother theory that she was driving over the speed limit because she forgot to put flowers on her mother's grave, when she saw the cop car and truck she thought that she could drive between them but being upset and intoxicated she crashed instead. Neither one of these theories have been confirmed.
