[list][*][u][b]Name:[/b][/u] Alice Margatroid
[*][u][b]Gender:[/b][/u] Female
[*][u][b]Appearance:[/b][/u] [img]http://safebooru.org//images/1052/016dbf5b8a6d720390eee754df79d45bcf86269d.jpg?1090866[/img]
[*][u][b]Personality:[/b][/u] On her own and towards mostly everyone, Alice is courteous if distant. With Marisa brought into the equation... well, it seems to bring out Alice's sarcastic side and, when they work together, it seems to involve arguing with each other as much as taking on the enemy.
She's quite a coward, in a way: though she engages in fights as readily as anyone else and puts up with losing, she never goes all out for fear of what losing [i]then[/i] could mean. Well, given what happened last time she lost...
[*][u][b]Species:[/b][/u] Youkai Magician
[*][u][b]Abilities:[/b][/u] As a magician, Alice specialises in use of dolls and has ever since childhood, to the point that she routinely uses control of multiples of them in order to clean her house--purely for showing off, since it's no easier than just doing it normally anyway. She rarely touches her other magic--including being one of the four who created an endless night to work out what was going on with the moon. Most likely, it has something to do with the grimoire she's always carrying around... one that seems to have the power to make an entire world.
[*][u][b]Skills:[/b][/u] Aside from the magical aspects of her puppetry, Alice is understandably good with her fingers and, amongst other things, sewing and apparently making huge quantities of gunpowder. She makes all her dolls herself after all and they're all [i]primed to explode[/i].
[*][u][b]Brief Backstory:[/b][/u] Alice was [i]probably[/i] made in Makai. Or born. It's not quite clear. Nevertheless, there was a doll-using child, who got in the way of people trying to deal with tourism trouble, and came back a bit later with her book and... lost again anyway, after putting up a much better fight. The various outcomes involved getting tied up so she'd stay out of the way whilst trying to leaf through it, and becoming someone's maid.
Some time after this, Alice became a magician--if she hadn't been one in the first place--and moved to the Forest of Magic, essentially becoming Marisa's neighbour. She's been involved in solving a few incidents but doesn't really get involved on her own.[/list]
