Personality: Alice Liddell comments that her past was "consumed by fire", a statement that is true in multiple ways.
Though she survives the fire that burned her house and killed her family, the previous Alice is, for the most part, no more. Her grasp on reality is unreliable at best, as she is now known for her insanity more than anything else. Having spent a full decade in an asylum, Alice is prone to and visual hallucinations, self-loathing, mood-swings, violence, and suicidal tendencies. She wants to get better, but at the same time, believes herself and her mind to be past any hope of normalcy. Even as she learns the truth of the fire, Alice corrects herself when stating that she isn't crazy, instead choosing the word "innocent" and that the guilt that plagued her for 10 years has finally lost its hold on her. When it's all said and done, Alice knows deep down that she won't ever be fully cured, and instead chooses to accept the (somewhat improved, but far from sane) state of her mind, which isn't all that dissimilar to how Wonderland was left: damaged, but safe.
Prominent as her insanity may be, there still remain other qualities to Alice, even aspects of her old self. Curious by nature and with quite the sweet tooth, she is also articulate and intelligent, contrasting heavily against the overabundance of drunkards, prostitutes and other miscreants roaming the streets of London.
It's no surprise that she remains distant from people in general. Why not? They rarely have anything positive to say about her. She doesn't let her past reputation get to her when brought up, instead just responding to most insults with her own or even resorting to physical violence. Cynical and often times sarcastic, her speech can be as sharp as the knife she wields, and especially abrasive. Alice is unafraid to speak her mind, and prefers to get straight to the heart of the matter rather than dance around the issue. Though not a stranger to being fed riddles and cryptic phrases, Alice prefers to be told or listen to what she needs to know so that she can be on her way.
She carries an overall disdain for people, but is also accompanied by a fondness for animals, particularly cats and rabbits, both of which are featured quite a bit in Wonderland. Animals certainly don't judge, unlike several others she could name. Yet even so, she doesn't stand for bullying, and has a strong sense of justice. Though she'll make an attempt at encouraging others to stand up for themselves, she's more than willing to take matters into her own hands. Her solutions may not be the "cleanest" but it's infinitely better than letting the innocent suffer. Alice helps others because it's the right thing to do, though she's certainly not against lending her assistance if there's something in it for her.
Her determination can easily be mistaken for stubbornness, or interchanged altogether. When Alice has a goal in mind, she won't allow anything, or anyone get in her way. Capable of being ruthless and brutal (which only complements her insanity), at her core, Alice is a survivor. The fire itself left her severely burned and she spent the next decade being subjected to extreme treatments and abuse thanks to the asylum workers. She overcame a hellish trip into her corrupted Wonderland not once, but multiple times. Dispatched all sorts of hideous creatures, faced down the hated Red Queen, and personally saw to it that the man responsible for the fire and her family's deaths ended up meeting a premature end.
Alice may not ever regain what she has already been lost, but at the very least, her life, and her mind are entirely her own.
Abilities: Alice wields a total of 5 weapons, each with a specific purpose.
- The Vorpal Blade, her overall go-to weapon for quick slices.
- The Hobby Horse, a large hammer-like weapon capable of breaking through defenses and armored enemies.
- The Pepper Grinder is a long-range weapon with a fast rate of fire, but can overheat if used for too long.
- The Teapot Cannon, like its name suggests, fires exploding rounds well-suited for eliminating large groups of enemies and breaking through rubble.
- The Clockwork Bomb runs on a timer shortly after being set down, exploding a few seconds later or through the detonator Alice holds. It can also be used as a weight for keeping switches pressed down.
Defensively speaking, Alice only really has her umbrella, which can shield her from, or deflect small projectiles. When brought to the near-death, Alice can enter Hysteria Mode which effectively renders her invincible while increasing her own offense.
Additional abilities include being able to shrink down to a fraction of her regular size, dodging attacks by temporarily transforming into a mass of butterflies, and being able to float and jump several times when already airborne.
