Alice doesn’t wear it as often as she once used to, as she found herself enamored more and more with the styles and fashions of Earth, but on days when she’s feeling particularly homesick for Wonderland before The Madness, she’ll wear the dress to remind herself of home. On a normal day on Earth, however, Alice’s style is eccentric, to say the least. She usually can’t remember where exactly she acquired most of her wardrobe, but the city of Seattle and the suburb of Mystvale is weird enough to cater to Alice’s needs. Anything that makes her feel as close to the old Wonderland as possible fits the bill, so you can imagine it’s usually quite… [url=https://consequenceofsound.files.wordpress.com/2015/09/grimes-new-album-october.jpg]odd.[/url] She’s quite small, standing at 5’2, with a tiny frame that can never seem to pack on any weight no matter how hard she tries. Her hair, once a pure blonde, is often a wild blend of bright, eye-catching colors these days, though Alice always keeps a noticeable patch of her hair blonde, an irrationally sentimental thing she does to keep herself tied to Wonderland. Her eyes are always changing color, since Alice has discovered the Earthly wonder that is colored contact lenses, though they are blue beneath the contacts. Physically, Alice has somehow still managed to maintain an aura of innocene, even after the Madness did its best to corrupt and destroy her.[/indent] [hr][hr] [center][img]http://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/dHRmLjcyLjg1YzlmZi5TVzRnUVNCTVlXNWtJRVpoY2lCR1lYSWdRWGRoZVM0dUxnLCwuMAAAAAAA/a-gentle-touch.medium.png[/img][/center] [color=#99cfff][sub][h3] • [u] H E R O ' S N A T U R E [/u][/h3][/sub][/color] [indent]Alice was once a beacon of childhood innocence in the bizarre landscape of Wonderland. She had all the characteristics of a young child, no matter how old she got; curious and stubborn, but also polite and loving. She always found room to love the other residents of Wonderland, even though quite a number of them had wronged her in one way or another. There were always fights or disagreements in Wonderland, with Alice involved in more than her fair share, but she had a knack for resolving them and getting everyone to kiss and make up, in the end. The Madness changed all of that. Her stubbornness evolved into anger and disgust, her innocence corrupted into a cynicism and darkness she had never before come close to experiencing. When Merlin pulled her out of Wonderland and onto Earth, Alice slowly began to recover, but everyone knew there was no chance she would ever be the same innocent girl she once was, not without some sort of cure. These days, Alice can be somewhat unstable, stuck somewhere between the innocence that once resonated from her and the Madness, drifting between the two constantly. The trauma of watching the Madness devour Wonderland haunts her; she clutches dearly onto things known to her, and fears those unknown. Although Alice occasionally expresses some characteristics of who she once was, it’s not hard to notice the hopelessness and desperation within her. Her understanding of reality is dwindling, what little of it there was prior to the Madness. Alice often sees figures that are not there, and on the particularly bad days, she’ll have conversations with nothingness. Some days she has a hysterical fear of the darkness, and others she hates being able to see, demanding to be enveloped by darkness to the point that she will wear blindfolds in a pitch black room. Some days, Alice says the Madness is still talking to her. The only hope she has that keeps her going is that one day, someone can find a cure for the Madness and rescue Wonderland, so that she may go home and live in peace.[/indent] [color=#99cfff][sub][h3] • [u] R E N O W N E D S K I L L S [/u][/h3][/sub][/color] [indent]She’s a lot smarter than she seems, though her intelligence can be somewhat unorthodox. Nobody thinks outside of the box like Alice does, but then again, nobody else has had to deal with the trials of Wonderland and the horrors of the Madness like Alice has.[/indent] [color=#99cfff][sub][h3] • [u] F A T A L F L A W [/u][/h3][/sub][/color] [indent]Her flaw is her innocence, and that she is too easily trusting of others. That is still mostly true, even after surviving the corruption of the Madness; although she fears new, unknown things, Alice can too often be easily coerced into trusting them. Her trauma makes her easily manipulated, as her grasp on what is real and what is not slips away from her.[/indent] [color=#99cfff][sub][h3] • [u] O N C E U P O N A T I M E [/u][/h3][/sub][/color] [indent]The story goes that Alice fell down into the rabbit hole and survived Wonderland, only to awaken and realize it was all a dream at the very last moment. Alice would find that tale amusing; of all the nonsense of Wonderland, the presumed deus ex machina “rescuing” her from Wonderland is the most nonsensical. As far as Alice can remember, she has always been in Wonderland. She knows that she once fell into a rabbit hole, but her memory only suggests that she entered the rabbit hole [i]from[/i] Wonderland. She can’t fathom any other possibility. The rabbit hole is simply a short cut from the Hatter’s Tea Party to the Rabbit’s house, cutting straight through her Pool of Tears and over the Queen of Hearts’ bath tub. Not a pretty sight, but it’s much faster than walking all the way round the Cheshire Cat, particularly when it’s a quarter past Friday. The stories of Alice’s adventures in Wonderland all happened at some point or another in her life, of course. She can’t quite recall in what order they took place, but she can without any doubt tell you that the Tea Party is still happening, even with the Madness taking hold of Wonderland. Rules are rules, and tea time is tea time. Madness and darkness can corrupt tea time and those taking part, but [i]tea time is tea time.[/i] Perhaps the biggest difference is, predictably enough, the trial for the Queen of Hearts’ tarts. Alice did not steal the tarts, but the Rabbit will testify that the Hearts’ tarts ended up in Alice’s pockets, while the Hatter will tell you that the Hearts’ tarts are actually with the Knave of Hearts, as originally charged, but the Knave of Hearts was not even present for the trial. Where the Hearts’ tarts ultimately ended up is of no importance, as the outcome of the trial was Alice’s imprisonment for refusing to leave the the court after growing a mile high. She spent [i]maybe[/i] a week in prison, before Alice realized that the key to her cell was hidden in her teeth the whole time. She simply walked out of the castle, with nobody even trying to stop her. Alice isn’t sure exactly how much time she spent in Wonderland following her “escape,” but she knows that at some point, her body took the form of an adult. It was a slow, strange transformation, but she was the same person at heart all throughout, so Alice never really gave it any mind. Her life following her brief imprisonment was as peaceful as it could get in Wonderland. The Queen of Hearts was always trying to execute everyone, and the Tea Party always had too many riddles. The tales are too numerous and time too short, but rest assured, Alice’s life in Wonderland was filled with nonsense and bizzare happenings. It would normally be said at this point that Alice eventually came to consider Wonderland home, but again, Alice believes she was always home. Regardless of whether she actually came from another land or not, Alice saw Wonderland as the place for her, and became comfortable residing there with all its mysteries. She doesn’t consider the possibility that there is a “true” home for her and that she might actually not be a Wonderland native, because that is simply too impossible a scenario for her to properly address.[/indent] [color=#99cfff][sub][h3] • [u] A N E W C H A P T E R [/u][/h3][/sub][/color] [indent]The Madness came quickly. It overran Wonderland in what seemed like a matter of minutes, twisting the once colorful, absurd landscape into a dark, horrible hell. The Cataclysm destroyed many lands, but The Madness brought it to a new level. Alice could do nothing but watch as her friends were swallowed by the Madness. The Cataclysm fed on the bizzare nature of Wonderland, transforming its landscapes into a nightmare and its residents into unimagineable shadows of their former selves. Alice experienced the Madness firsthand, as its whispers crawled their way into her head and threatened to transform her into a shadow, as well. When Merlin arrived to rescue those that he could and bring them to Earth, Alice was only just sane enough to make it out. Her time on Earth has helped to heal the wounds of the Madness, but without a true cure, the wounds still linger with Alice. She’s taken to life on Earth well enough, but it’s clear that Alice is completely out of her element in a “normal” world. Her mind is unstable enough as it is, given her upbringing in Wonderland and the trauma of the Madness; it doesn’t help that she relies on Earth’s drugs and hallucinogens to help her feel closer to Wonderland before the Madness. She does not speak of what happened in Wonderland. Alice has enough trouble remembering the nightmare of watching her friends become monstrous doppelgangers of themselves; she has zero interest in revisiting those memories with others. She only wants to end the nightmares of the Madness and return home. [/indent][/hider]
