Profile
Background
Alice is an extremely powerful witch, known as the "Witch of Gutting" due to her tendency to experience the most interesting parts of a given fragment and discard or "gut" the rest.
Appearance
Alice's design is heavily based on Alice in Wonderland. She wears a light blue dress decorated with playing card suits. She has mismatched socks: one is white and the other is checkered white and black like a chessboard. Both socks are paired with red slippers. She wears a small crown on her head.
Personality
Plot
Vespio 2438
A version of Alice appears in Vespio 2438 as Major Alice. This character is distinct from the witch Alice, having no memory or knowledge of witches or the wider story encompassing TRianThology.
In the final moments of Vespio 2438, Falco addresses Alice, the witch, directly, rather than the character of Major Alice.
???
The final arc of TRianThology reveals that the entire story had taken place in the fantasies of Alice Ryuzaki, a fourth-grade girl who had taken to escapism due to her loneliness. The story ends with the implication that she hangs herself due to her worsening isolation.
Trivia
- Alice's red slippers are possibly a reference to Dorothy Gale, the protagonist of the The Wonderful Wizard of Oz who famously wears red slippers. The Alice from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is sometimes compared with Dorothy for their similar positions as young female protagonists of children's media.
- Notably, the famous red slippers were a change made for the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz; in the original stories, Dorothy wore silver shoes rather than red.
