the Liddell house was the Liddell family house in the city of Oxford, city in central Southern England that is known worldwide for its universities. which was burned down in the fire that killed Arthur Liddell, his wife, and their eldest daughter Elizabeth on 5 November 1863. It left Alice as the sole survivor of the incident and the trauma led to her incarceration at Rutledge Asylum. She is haunted by various apparitions of her home as it constantly appears in Wonderland in different forms of fire damage.
The Liddell house was a fairly large home, fitting enough for a family of four. It was a two-story building with enough space for an attic. The front white wooden door was decorated with a large four-piece panel and appeared to have a stone base with a wooden deck. The second floor was panelled with white, while the roof was a dark brown colour with several spikes at several edges.

Arthur Liddell was the father of Alice and Elizabeth, and a husband to Leanne Liddell. He was also a dean at Oxford University and an amateur photographer, until a fire in his family home killed him, his wife, and his daughter Lizzie.
Arthur lived in Oxford with his family, and was a dean at the city's university. While not at the university, he would focus on his passion for photography, and he used the downstairs library to keep his equipment and pictures, despite his wife's concerns about how easily the flammable things could be set alight, and Lizzie's dislike of the chemical smell.
As well as spending time on his hobby, Arthur would often invite his undergraduates to tea at the family household. His act of kindness led to one of his students, Angus Bumby, to become attracted and obsessed about Lizzie.
Bumby would try to make sexual advances towards Lizzie behind her family's back, despite her strong disgust towards him.
Arthur appeared to be a middle-aged man with a squared jaw and small eyes. He had thick, dark hair, and a full beard and mustache. He was wearing a dark suit with a jacket and waistcoat.
Little is known about Arthur, but it seems he was a proud man and father, and was like a hero or ideal role model to Alice. He loved his family very much, even to a point of sacrificing himself in an attempt to save his daughters. He was very wise and had a philosophical way of thinking. He had knowledge of various subjects, and had an artistic side, shown mainly through his love of photography.
He had a strong dislike towards hunting trophies, viewing them as perverse creations that disgraces the once living animal and demeans their dignity, commenting he wanted no "taxidermic abominations" like bearskin rugs and deer antlers in his house.

Elizabeth "Lizzie" Liddell was the eldest child of Arthur Liddell and Leanne Liddell and the older sister of Alice Liddell.
At the age of eighteen, Lizzie was raped and killed in the fire that also killed her parents and burned down their family home in Oxford.
Lizzie was likely born in 1845, and because of her father's privileged job as a university dean, she lived a comfortable life with her family in Oxford, and was well-educated, having been taught French and music with Alice by their Nanny.
At the age of eighteen, Lizzie became the object of desire for Angus Bumby, who was one of her father's undergraduates at the time. Although Lizzie did not appreciate his advances, and disliked him entirely, Bumby became obsessed with her, believing she was just playing hard to get and pretending she was disinterested, and he would stalk her. One time, Bumby even entered the ladies' restroom at the London Waterloo station to follow her. Disgusted by him, Lizzie told Alice about the things Bumby did to her, and told their father not to invite him around to their house again.
In the Liddell family portrait, Lizzie bore a strong resemblance to the nineteen-year-old Alice Liddell. She had shoulder-length dark wavy hair that has bangs hanging on the left side, an oval face, large eyes, pale skin and donned a long-sleeved shirt and a skirt held up with suspenders. It was likely she had green eyes like her sister.
Through Alice's memories, Elizabeth appeared to be a friendly, sharp-minded girl who was much more adventurous than Alice when they were growing up. She was a very loving person, and was dearly loved in return. She had a deep relationship with her little sister, even confiding in her about Bumby's sexual advances towards her. However, though she loved Alice deeply, the age gap between them was too great for her to be much of a playmate to her little sister.
Lizzie also possessed a mischievous, slightly wicked side to her; she had tried smoking a cigarette at least once and revealed to her sister that it was disgusting, but still wanted to try a clay pipe. She also knew how to sneak out while grounded using a tree branch and trellis. She also had a generally low opinion of the undergraduates who tried to impress her father, calling them a "bunch of toadies."

The Fire is a crucial event in Alice Liddell's life, as it was the catalyst of a series of unfortunate events that would lead to her return to Wonderland. It occurred on 5 November 1863, after Through the Looking-Glass, and left Alice as the only Liddell to survive, along with her cat Dinah. Alice's father, Arthur Liddell, and mother, Mrs. Liddell died, as well as Alice's sister, Lizzie Liddell. The event led to Alice's catatonia for ten years at Rutledge Asylum, as well as many more tragic events to come.
While Alice dreamed of the Mad Hatter's Tea Party, In Alice's dreams, a fire had also broke out, sending Mad Hatter and White Rabbit into a frenzy. The Rabbit told Hatter to save Alice and Hatter's scream roused Alice within her sleep, ultimately leading to her survival.
Her father had a passion for photography, meaning the library was an accident waiting to happen with the amounts of paper and chemicals he kept. Dinah had never been anywhere near the fire, but had in fact saved Alice's life by showing her that jumping out of the window was her only means of escape.
It was soon revealed that her sister, Lizzie Liddell, had been stalked by one of their father's undergraduates Dr. Angus Bumby, who became a child sex trafficker in his later years. He raped and murdered Elizabeth before locking her bedroom door, and burning the house to the ground to cover up his crime, taking her bedroom key with him. Alice briefly saw Bumby when he was exiting Lizzie's room, but oddly mistook him for a centaur. After the fire, a police investigation concluded that it was Dinah's clumsiness that started the fire. leading Alice to believe that when the cat woke up and stretched, she hit the pile of books, causing it to topple. The books seemed to fall and knock over an oil lamp near it, although due to Madness Returns, there is another possible explanation for the oil lamp being on the floor. The oil inside the lamp spread and reached the fireplace, starting the fire.
In her efforts to save her family, Alice witnessed the horrible deaths of her parents and gave her third-degree burns. She survived by leaping out of the window and cushioning herself on a pile of snow. The aftermath of the events was skipped to ten years later when Alice was catatonic and showing no signs of recovery from the past, being "treated" at Rutledge Asylum.

Alice was admitted to Rutledge on November 4, 1864, after staying a year in Littlemore Infirmary to have her burns treated, which were caused by the fire that burnt down her home and killed her family. The loss of her family had caused severe mental trauma which placed her into Rutledge when her behaviour became volatile, and she was deemed a danger to herself and everyone around her.
At the asylum, Alice was mostly in a catatonic, bedridden state, and was unresponsive to most treatments and actions, from noises and lights, to electroshock therapy. She had evident dementia and it is implied she had schizophrenia. Furthermore, she would also experience fits of violence, such as screaming, being extremely dissociated from reality, and attacking the nurses and orderlies, which resulted into Alice being placed in restraints. However, she did have some lucid moments, such as talking and drawing pictures, although these moments were few and far between.

The asylum is described as a miserable place by Alice, it is a brick structure in both walls and roofs and is surrounded by a tall iron fence. The fence has small spikes aligning its top, possibly to discourage escapees from climbing. There is a brick path leading to the main building, where the other buildings are connected to each side. The front yard is unkempt as the grass are left untrimmed and the trees lack life.

A seven-year-old Alice was taken to the infirmary on November 5, 1863 immediately after the house fire. The burns she received were severe to a point that London News stated that "prospects for her recovery were not at all encouraging." Alice's dermis was unharmed.
Alice was cared for by a surgeon named Dr. Grantham who lost his sanity and it is implied he accidentally killed himself.
The following year, she was judged sufficiently healed and was transferred to Rutledge Asylum for the treatment of her broken mental state.

The Houndsditch Home for Wayward Youth is a shelter in London's East End for unfortunate children, especially orphans. It was run by Dr. Angus Bumby until his death. It was where Alice Liddell lived after being released in Rutledge Asylum.
Houndsditch Home posed to be a completely normal orphanage and its head, Bumby, was deemed to be a "respectable social architect and scientist."
However, Bumby had a much darker secret – he used his hypnotherapy skills to make the children forget who they were and turn them into mindless prostitutes to sell for London's pedophiles who engage in the act. Children ready for sale were marked with names and number tags, and then put out into the street with a seller to attract buyers.

In his younger years, Angus Bumby was an undergraduate at Oxford University and was tutored by Dean Arthur Liddell. Like other undergraduates, he was a frequent guest for tea to the Liddell household. There, he came into contact with the older of the two Liddell children, Lizzie. Lizzie had a poor opinion of all of the undergraduates, having referred to them as a "bunch of toadies", but over the course of his visits to the Liddell home, Bumby grew inappropriately fond of her. This fondness eventually turned into a sexual obsession, fed by Bumby's own justification that the young Lizzie was not only open to his advances but eager for them, and that the discomfort she displayed in his company was meant as further enticement.
Bumby's obsession toward Lizzie continued to escalate with time, moving from unwanted questioning of the girl to inappropriate touching. As a result Lizzie grew avoidant and fearful of him, prompting her to ask her father not to invite Bumby over for tea anymore.[4] This distancing prompted him to begin stalking Lizzie outside the home and attempting to force her into performing sexual acts, even following her into the ladies' restroom at the London Waterloo station. Bumby's harassment of Lizzie was met with increasing fear and she threatened to tell her parents of his behaviour.
On the night of November 5th, 1863, deep in his obsession and enraged by the now-18 year old Lizzie's supposed "teasing", Angus Bumby broke into the Liddell house. He made his way to Lizzie's bedroom, taking the key to her door as he did. Once he was inside the room Bumby raped Lizzie, though not without a struggle, before murdering her through unknown means.
Bumby's entry of the Liddell household was witnessed by the family's youngest child, Alice. However, too young to understand the gristly implications of what she had seen, Alice convinced herself that a centaur had broken into the family home and that the sounds coming from her sister's room had been Lizzie talking in her sleep rather than Bumby assaulting and killing her.
To cover up his crime, Bumby locked Lizzie's bedroom door and used an oil-lamp to set the house on fire, intending to kill everyone inside. Bumby kept Lizzie's bedroom key and later used it as his pendant when hypnotizing his patients.
Bumby fled to a nearby forest after setting fire to the Liddell house, but stayed for a few moments to watch the blaze consume the building. The youngest Liddell, Alice, survived the blaze by jumping out a window on the second floor and cushioning herself on a pile of snow. Alice briefly saw Bumby in a nearby forest and saw him holding Lizzie's key before he disappeared into the night. The fire resulted in Alice's fall into insanity, and she was committed into Rutledge Asylum for ten years.
The official story regarding Lizzie's death was that she perished in her sleep due to smoke inhalation, as her body was found still in bed, wholly unharmed by the fire. This could not have been her true cause of death, however, as her bedroom was too far from the fire to have so quickly incapacitated her before she could have attempted to escape.
Bumby appeared to be slightly middle-aged, with a slim figure and broad shoulders. His face was very long and thin, with a pointy chin and defined cheekbones. His hair was dark brown, and was cut to the nape of his neck, and combed into a side parting to his right-hand side. He also had a full beard and mustache. His eyes were small and pale in color. Upon seeing his portrait, Alice commented he was "just shy of classically handsome."
Bumby's state of dress was far more professional and better-kept than Alice and the other children he watched over. His outfit consisted of black trousers, a white shirt, and a gray waistcoat with a red tie. When outside, he wore a brown coat and top-hat.
To the public, Bumby was an extremely intelligent psychiatrist, and a scholar with a brilliant and wise mind. He appeared to be a respectable man of society as people perceived him as a helper of unfortunate children and a therapist who worked to relieve traumatized and mentally broken orphans of the burdens of their past.
However, behind this well-mannered facade was a man who carried out various acts of abuse against young children and adolescents, including arson, murder, rape, forcible thought reform, and commercial sexual exploitation. Although he helped children forget their painful memories, he used trauma-based mind control to keep them in a perpetual state of dissociation and strip them of any personal identity, even going so far as to assign them numbers in place of names.
Bumby demonstrated a poor view of children, as was common in Victorian England, as Alice remembered him stating that while children have purposes, "it is the beholden duty of knowing adults to fit every young person to her calling", showing his lack of empathy toward children and his rejection of the notion that children are entitled to their own free will. He also told Alice that some insects eat their young and have "much to teach us", further reinforcing his distain for young people.
Although he was an educated man, Bumby chose to forge ties with London's child sex trade rather than use his knowledge for more noble pursuits. He viewed himself as doing a service to society by molding traumatized orphans into child prostitutes despite the inherent harm such actions would cause to society, both with regard to feeding the desires of pedophiles and to the psychological and sexual harm to the children themselves.
In addition to facilitating child sexual abuse through his involvement in the child sex trade, Bumby himself is a ephebophile due to being attracted to a teenage Lizzie. It is unclear if he is a pedophile; while his first contact with the Liddell family was during his undergraduate years when Lizzie would have been a child or young teen, it is unknown at what age Bumby began becoming attracted to her. The amount of time between Bumby's first contact with Lizzie and him raping her is unclear; however, enough time had passed that he was no longer reliant on Arthur Liddell's academic tutelage, and that his harassment of Lizzie could progress from unwanted conversation during tea all the way to stalking and attempted sexual assault.

London is the capital city of England, where after the deaths of Alice's family was sent to Rutledge Asylum.
After being released from Rutledge Asylum, Pris Witless found Alice home and a job at the Houndsditch Home for Wayward Youth. Alice was still dealing with her tragic childhood memories along with serious survivor's guilt and also began to suffer from auditory and visual hallucinations. While working at Houndsditch, Alice was attending hypnotic therapy with Dr. Angus Bumby.
London is split into many districts that range from slums where the lower class workers and poor live and survive to the more prosperous districts which are cleaner and lack any beggars or riff-raff to populate the streets, often populated with the richer and well-off in London.
Sadly, It appears the part of London Alice lives in is a slum, with filthy men and women walking about carrying their businesses and beggars pleading for donations. Prostitutes are also the inhabitants of the slum, as well as Pris Witless, Dr. Angus Bumby, and Nan Sharpe. The area has brown-grey tones and is depicted as being polluted, crowded and noisy.

Inside, there was a bar where men had a drink, gamble, or had the prostitutes entertain them; fights also broke out often. It had the appearance of a traditional British pub and was fairly crowded. Alice claims that, no matter what you order, you shouldn't expect anything better than stale beer or rot-gut gin. Upstairs was a series of bedrooms for customers to have private encounters with the girls without disturbance.

Entry settings
Nurse Priscilla "Pris" Witless was one of Alice Liddell's caretakers in Rutledge Asylum. She is an alcoholic and often used Alice's false confession of the Fire as blackmail to get Alice to pay her small amounts of money or bottles of alcoholic beverages.
She was one of several caretakers of Alice and may have worked alongside Heironymous Q. Wilson, Nurse Cratchet, and Nurse D-. During one of Alice's rambling, she overheard Alice blame herself for the fire, which she later used to blackmail Alice by threatening to inform the police unless she "paid" her with alcohol or money.
Shortly after Alice's release from the asylum, she had no place to live. Alice's previous residence was destroyed in the fire, which also consumed most of her relations.
The only relation Alice had other than who she knew in the asylum was Nan Sharpe, her former Nanny who looked after Alice when she was young – teaching her both how to play the piano and speak French. However, Nan Sharpe had turned to prostitution by then, meaning if Alice were to come under her arm, Alice would possibly have to be forced into prostitution.
Pris gave Alice clothing instead, and found her a job, along with a small room, at the Houndsditch Home for Wayward Youth under the care of Doctor Angus Bumby, who would later become her therapist.
Pris believes herself to be kind and helpful to Alice. According to her, Alice would have ended up on the streets as a prostitute if she had not found Alice a place to stay. She acts kindly towards Alice, such as calling her "dearie" and asking Alice if she's doing well.
However, it is ambiguous if Pris truly cares about Alice to a degree, or if it is a front in order to manipulate Alice. In reality, Pris is a greedy, manipulative and selfish woman who seems to think that just because she did a few nice things for Alice, she deserves ongoing rewards from her. Pris also seems to have a bit of a martyr complex, as she is shown in a memory complaining about how she never gets what she has owed for all she does for Alice.
She is also shown to be bloodthirsty, saying she was born in the wrong century and wishes she could have been born in an earlier century where executions such as beheading by guillotine were still legal, saying those were "good days." She implies the beheaded "deserve" their deaths.
During Alice's stay in Rutledge, she was a very cruel caretaker, having a short fuse with Alice's catatonia which may have resulted in beatings. If Alice was beaten by Pris, she would likely not remember it in her catatonia. Pris seemed to be in denial of Alice's catatonia, saying she knew Alice could hear her, and tried to take her rabbit doll away despite its sentimental importance to Alice.
Pris does not seem to have a favorable opinion of the other adults in Alice's life. She despises Radcliffe and seems to also hold a grudge against Nan Sharpe, whom she refers to as an "uppity whore." The dislike is mutual, as Nan refers to Pris as a "drunkard."
She also loves pigeons, and has a large coop of them on her roof. She appears to regularly feed them, suggesting that Pris is complex instead of being completely evil or malevolent. However, caging birds can also be seen as an example of her cruelty, especially if Pris never takes them out.
She has a penchant for drinking and seems to be an alcoholic, and is regarded as being able to empty any bottle in a few minutes. Pris's favorite drink is "Blue ruin," a Victorian slang for gin. Pris's addiction to gin is not surprising, since in that time period, gin was popular: The poor drank it as it was one of the cheapest forms of alcohol.

Nan Sharpe is Alice Liddell's former nanny who currently works as a prostitute. She is the owner of a whorehouse known as the Mangled Mermaid on the east side of London.
Nan looked after the Liddell sisters during Alice's youth, and taught them music and French. She apparently had conversations with Mrs. Liddell concerning Alice's daydreams of Wonderland. Nan told Alice that if she spent as much time as practicing the piano instead of daydreaming, she would be the next Sullivan or Gilbert. After the tragic fire, Nan visited Alice several times at Rutledge Asylum.
Nan is the only adult who seems to truly care about Alice (as Dr. Wilson is not currently in Alice's life). She is one of the very few people who seems to have no hate nor desire to receive any benefit from Alice's madness and seems to even pity her situation. She refers to Radcliffe as a "greedy sod" for having an interest in Alice's inheritance. She comments "Radcliffe paid me for a bit" before saying, "A woman alone sometimes does what she doesn't particularly feel like doing... as you know" implying that Radcliffe was one of her special visitors.
She is judgmental, but sympathetic. She is a bit of a cynical realist who disagrees with the saying "honesty is the best policy" saying "not in this life".
It is unknown how she feels about being a prostitute. She acts quite depressed with the situation at hand, but treats it with a "hang-in, hold-on" mentality. However, she also says, "I'm hurtin' no one. Hooking's not a bad life..."
She shows disgust for the selling of children for prostitution, one of the game's themes.
She is mentioned by Pris Witless as an "uppity whore." Pris seems to also hold a grudge against Nan. The dislike is mutual, as Nan refers to Pris as a "drunkard."
Nan Sharpe wears a pink dress that accentuates her breasts and black lace gloves. She has a peacock feather placed on the bun of her hair and has a sailor's anchor tattooed onto her right breast. She has a black eye, possibly due to frequently being hit by Jack Splatter or others.

Wonderland is an imaginary country created by Alice Liddell during her childhood. It is located in Alice's mind and a creation of her vivid imagination. Alice is able to visit it even while in a hypnotic daydream as it is similar to a dream or a lucid dream.
Alice uses Wonderland as a tool for exploring her shattered psyche and as a coping mechanism to deal with her mental health, which is usually known as "escapism." In this sense, Wonderland is Alice's method of catharsis as well as her sanctuary being perverted, and it is up to her to heal Wonderland in order to heal herself.
Wonderland had several provinces wherein the lands had different rulers. The Looking Glass Land was governed by the chess monarchy, while the card monarchy were the overall rulers for its entirety.
Being a part of her subconscious mind, the land was affected by Alice's mental and emotional health. It was once a whimsical land, reflecting Alice's innocent nature, but following the girl's mental breakdown brought on by the death of her family, Wonderland became corrupted by her insanity and turned into a considerably more macabre rendition of itself. When Alice defeated the Queen of Hearts, Wonderland returned to its peaceful state and Alice was released from the asylum.
A year after Alice had been released from Rutledge Asylum, in late 1875, she was currently living in Victorian London under the care of a psychiatrist, Dr. Angus Bumby. Although deemed sane enough to return to society, the traumatic childhood memories of the deaths of her father, mother, and older sister in a fire continued to haunt Alice, and she still fell back into spells of violence and mad ramblings, suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.
Wonderland became destroyed and corrupted again until it was shattered and dead to Alice. Despite this, Bumby attempted to force Alice to revisit Wonderland. The White Rabbit was seen sailing along a river with Alice during her hypnosis therapy with Angus Bumby. Alice and Rabbit were having tea on a giant leaf. However, he stared at her in silence and his head began to twitch. Alice asked him if he was mad, and he replied, "Something wrong? Raaaaaather..." Rabbit began to bleed at the mouth, his left eye popped out of its socket, and eventually his head exploded altogether, bleeding a fountain on Alice's horrified face. It started the trigger of events that showed Wonderland had became polluted by Alice's insanity once again.
During Alice's stay in Rutledge Asylum and the Houndsditch Home for Wayward Youth, the land underwent various changes and rulers and all of which were ended by Alice herself in her quest to regain her sanity. Wonderland transformed into a twisted demented nightmarish hell full of slavery, war, monsters, gore, corpses, animal experimentation and suffering which Alice could not escape from since Wonderland is part of her own mind.

The Vale of Tears was initially re-imagined by Alice to be a lot more tranquil, although the environment soon reflected Alice's deteriorating mental condition, with visible corruption oozing from all over.
The Vale of Tears was an area of Wonderland that Alice Liddell visited. It was a floating valley with a river running through it, which may have been the remnants of the tears Alice shed during her first adventure in Wonderland.
The Vale of Tears use to be appeared to be in a continuous morning fog with a gray sky above. The ground was hard and barren, and almost all of the plant life seemed to be dead. It was a very bland and dark-colored place, and ironically the only relatively vibrant color present was in the form of creatures and plants that tried to harm Alice. There was a river that flowed through the valley, and although clean enough for fish, appeared to be cloudy. By the side of the river, there was a crying statue of Alice, a symbolism of Alice's inner anguish.
The only other deliberate construct was Bill's house, which looked like a shack made out of various bits of junk. After the Queen of Hearts was defeated, Wonderland was restored to its former self, life returns to the valley, and the crying statue became a more cheerful and confident-looking Alice.
now its large, vibrant, and lush forest had grown around the river, with tall trees, colorful mushrooms, and lots of flowers. A new statue of a crying Alice provided the tears that make up the rivers and streams. The river formed into various waterfalls, and there were other large crying statues along the path that secrete blood and Ruin substance, indicative of the worsening situation in Wonderland.
There were also large game pieces around the place, including marbles, jacks, dominoes, and dice. The Duchess' home was located here, although it was just three walls forming one room, as well as a giant snow-globe monument to the Mock Turtle, who had become lost at sea. There was also a platform for the Looking Glass Railway, with the ruined remains of what was the train running through the lines, though, later, the remains slid down the cliff onto the void below.

A frigid environment with childlike nocturnal artifacts around. Pathways was accessed by breaking brittle ice obstacles in the way.

A theatre and an accompanying community of fish-people presented itself as the most promising landmark in an otherwise bleak and bland looking watery grave of sunken ships and drowned sailors. Littering the environment were jellyfish-like platforms and hydrothermal vents that allowed Alice to journey through the abyss to clearer waters.
As well as the home of the Carpenter, the Deluded Depths also housed a variety of underwater creatures, such as the Oyster Starlets, the Octopus, the Walrus, and the Music Fish. Three different coloured species of jellyfish also resided in the area, either helping Alice or preventing her journey. The red jellyfish was poisonous and electrically charged, which was dangerous to Alice, the white jellyfish acted as a platform, while the blue jellyfish acted as a trampoline. Deadly clams also existed, often using Teeth, Memories, or bottles as bait to lure Alice into their mouths to try and kill her if she stayed for too long.
Barrelbottom was the underwater town of the Deluded Depths at its heart. The residents of the town were sea life, particularly fish, who hold Carpenter's shows in high regard at the Dreary Lane Theatre.
The buildings of the town were made from large barrels and other pieces of flotsam and jetsam. In the middle of the town centre there was a statue of Carpenter, possibly in honour of his great directing career.
The Dreary Lane Theatre was a majestic playhouse located on the edge of Barrelbottom, where Carpenter put on his shows. It had one large stage and many doors that concealed exits and possibly dressing rooms.
Under the theatre was a bloody, horrific mess of fish and sea creatures alike, dead or barely alive, implying that Walrus and Carpenter had been killing fish for a while, maybe even years.

The Vale of Doom was a floating, mountainous region formerly known as the Vale of Tears. Alice Liddell, it had degenerated so much that it resembled a wasteland of destruction and ruination. in one of the floating lands before making her way to the Oriental Grove.
The valley was a burned reincarnation of the Vale of Tears that floated on the Opium smoke from Caterpillar's hookah. Ruin slime was scattered everywhere and the terrain was filled with more Ruin creatures. It sat under a burning sky where debris ran amok, heading towards an endless spiral. At the end of the valley, there was a single spot that still contained grass and clean water where the Oriental Grove was located. Due to its initial proximity, the remains of the Hatter's Domain are scattered around the valley.

The Oriental Grove, also known as the Mysterious East, was an area in Wonderland found within the Vale of Doom. Alice Liddell was shrunk down by Caterpillar to enter the domain after traversing the vale.
A world that Alice entered in a much diminutive form where all inhabitants can finally compare with her in size, it was heavily influenced by Eastern cultures with mountainous landscapes and wide crevices. A community of Origami Ants reside in simple, built up areas carved from rock and bamboo. Toys pertinent to Eastern culture were magnified in size and served as physical support for Alice to travel between areas. Within the mountain rock lie a gateway to an unusual world where Eastern art came alive that Alice can use to travel through. Upsetting the peace are Samurai Wasps that brought grief upon the Ants and were hostile towards Alice.
The Oriental Grove was a mountainous isle which, to a person of normal size, appeared to be a mound of jade and greenery, with trickles of water running down the sides to form a pool around the bottom. However, to an insect, the mound was a mountain, the trickles were waterfalls, and the plants are full-grown trees. The Grove was filled with oriental motifs – various ornaments, platforms, and locations were heavily influenced by the decorations Alice saw at Radcliffe's home.

The Cardbridge was an area located above the mainland Wonderland that Alice Liddell visited. Large playing cards flew around forming bridges, walkways, and castles.
Made of playing cards that formed various familiar environmental mechanics that helped Alice to travel, it was mostly deserted and high up in the sky above Queensland. Each individual card seemed to have a mind of its own, but some in a group behaved as one, flitting about randomly and sometimes helped Alice along her way by acting as platforms.
The Cardbridge was a very peaceful place located in the blue skies above Wonderland. The playing cards flew around in formation like birds, and formed a variety of solid structures. These structures built and dismantled themselves when Alice walked toward and away from them.

The remains of the Queen of Hearts' residence since Alice's last confrontation with her. Mostly a depiction of rot and decay within the royal grounds as much of the Queen's physical, fleshy influence were now dead remains that accompanied the inanimate architecture. However, closer to the core of Queensland, the Queen very much still remained alive in the flesh as grotesque mosses of her being stay red with life. The inhabitants of these grounds had now taken a morbid decay of their former selves, but remained ever hostile towards Alice and her allies as they had always been.
Queensland was a province of Wonderland. It included a large castle and the grounds that surround it, all of which was heavily guarded by Card Guards. It was the main domain of the Queen of Hearts, and can be considered the capital of Wonderland, as it was home to the governing monarchy.
Queensland was once ridden with the oozing and disgusting appendages that leaked from the body of the Queen of Hearts. The buildings were intact and had a strong structure. The walls were mostly covered in intestines or flesh and the Queen's tentacles. Bones often acted as pillars or pathways and at times part of a building's external look.
All structures in Queensland had apparent motifs with regards to the Queen of Hearts. The areas mostly had Card Guards to prevent Alice from reaching the Queen's lair.
currently, Queensland was now a broken kingdom of stone walls, clasped together by the corrupt tentacles that spilled from the body of its Queen. Although a large, unsettling kingdom, the residents were a little more than guards bred to protect their Queen.
There were also some Ruin enemies, however, the Queen appeared to have taken control in some of these Ruin – a sign that the Dollmaker and the Queen of Hearts were at large war with each other. The more Alice proceeded throughout the domain, the more the area was constructed by the protruding appendages the Queen had developed.
Some had even reformed into large fleshy mounds that clasped against most areas of certain walls and floors. When Alice met the Queen in the throne room, the entire area, including the throne that she rested on was clasped by herself.

The somber corner of Wonderland when Alice's mind slipped into chaos again, this gloomy area was a product of the new abuses that came upon Alice after she was let go from Rutledge. A gloomy, unhappy place of neglect and abuse, the Insane Children were subjected to a cruel fate relating to dolls and other abominations. The innocent and colorful exterior of the Dollhouse hid a macabre secret that had to do with Alice's worsening madness, characterized by a darker and grimmer reflection of the doll world outside.
The Dollhouse was a domain of Wonderland that was a colorful, childlike town made from life-size doll houses. It became a dark, abandoned, defiled wasteland and the lair of the monstrous Dollmaker who resided in a towering workshop looming over the domain in the horizon. Alice Liddell had to defeat a series of dolls and puzzles to reach the heart of the new corruption of Wonderland.
The dollhouse symbolizes Alice's loss of innocence, the loss of innocence of children and contains themes of identity. This disturbing rendition of a corrupted child's paradise acts as a wake-up call for Alice to realize the truth before it's too late - if Alice fails to search the deepest recesses of her memories, mind and subconscious, she will "die" psychologically.
The upper part of the world had many colorful districts. Most of the houses were detachable and able to form new paths for Alice. They also had vibrant interiors like pictures, plushies, and wooden blocks. Some of the furniture inside the house had messages written on them and most were decorated with blood.
The domain had huge dolls in several areas that acted as pathways, while dolls on the swings that were covered with protruding nails acted as obstacles for Alice. There were also a large amount of discarded doll parts found in almost every area of the Dollhouse.
The underground part of the Dollhouse was almost the exact opposite of the upper part and acted more like a prison than a haven. There was a lack of color in the area and the lack of childlike furniture. There were morbid depictions of dolls, glass cages containing different horrific objects, wax figures, meat, nails, screws and knives. There were huge piles of junk like damaged baby dolls and skeletons in the basement and breakable objects became porcelain baby doll heads.

The recurring artefact that seemed to cause ruin and destruction to the Wonderland so loved by Alice, this was the place where she finally realized the truth behind the madness that had plagued her since her fateful childhood and even after her time in Rutledge.
The Infernal Train was a huge, fiery, and truly horrifying locomotive owned and driven by the Dollmaker. It was the source of Alice Liddell's growing insanity and the Ruin that caused Wonderland's corruption. The Dollmaker used the train mainly to destroy what was left of Wonderland and hunt down the Insane Children.
The train was built by the March Hare and the Dormouse after being tricked into taking over the Mad Hatter's domain and turning it into a factory. Its scheduled arrival to each place in Wonderland brought death and suffering to many of Wonderland's residents, as well as destruction to Wonderland itself.
The Mock Turtle had once been the stationmaster of the Infernal Train on the Looking Glass Railway, but was dismissed from his job after the Dormouse and March Hare commandeered the Mad Hatter's factory.
The exterior architecture of the Infernal Train was extremely intricate and delicate, engulfed by dark colours and roaring flames. The train itself resembled a large series of cathedrals aligned together following the same track. It was black and bellowed dark smoke from its engine and was covered in large stained glass windows that leaked scarlet and crimson through the transparent glass. The general architecture featured curves, spikes, turrets, and many windows of varying sizes.
The interior of the train was also dark and intricate. It contained many seats similar to pews and beautifully crafted curtains with clean and fresh carpets. The basic interior of the train was similar to the exterior with its detailed lining. The interior also had a black and white checkered pathway leading its way through the coaches, and it was dimly lit by candlelight.

The Vorpal Blade is Alice Liddell's primary and most iconic weapon in her journey to Wonderland
After Alice ventured on into the Vale of Tears, she arrived at a place where the river was red and the earth was stained with blood. Following the trail, she discovered the Vorpal Blade lodged into the skeleton of the Jabberwock.
Cheshire Cat manifested beside her and re-introduced her to the weapon. The Blade dislodged itself from the skeletal remains and went into Alice's hand. She observed its intricate design stating that she did not come back to look for a fight while testing the Blade itself.
The Vorpal Blade has sharp edge curves outward with blood all away along it, and both the blade and handle are engraved with floral patterns. The word "VORPAL", including its original manufacturing date, is engraved on the upper rim of the handle which its it joined together with the blade.
The Saturn symbol (♄) appears every time Alice makes a successful hit on an enemy.
Unlike the other weapons, its appearance does not change when upgraded. However, the trail of light left when swinging it changes, the blade's floral engravings will constantly glow blue after a few upgrades.

The Queen of Hearts is a major figure in the wonderland. She serves as an antagonist towards Alice Liddell.
After Alice was put in Rutledge Asylum, the Queen of Hearts apparently merged with the Red Queen from the Looking-Glass World and functioned as one entity, beginning a much crueller rule over Wonderland and commanding both the Card Army and Red Chess pieces. This new "Red Queen" became the source of the corruption and evil that was afflicting Wonderland, and also put the Torch Gnomes into slavery.
At first, Alice only knew that the Red Queen must be slain in order to restore Wonderland, but because of hints from the Cheshire Cat and the others, she eventually realized that the Red Queen was the very embodiment of her own madness.
Alice confronted the malformed Red Queen on her throne, and was able to defeat the beast. However, this "Red Queen" was pulled back through the wall, revealing that it was simply a puppet on a tentacle, and the Red Queen showed Alice her true, horrible form: the Heart Of Darkness, a monstrous tentacled abomination with two stiff metal rods protruding from her back holding a row of smoking spikes over her head forming her crown. Two of these tentacles took the form of the Voracious Centipede and the Jabberwock's heads and the Queen's puppet body. Inside the monster's mouth was the Mad Hatter's head and inside the Hatter's mouth was Alice's head, exposing the truth that the Red Queen was an incarnation of all of Alice's negative emotions and thoughts. The Queen attacked Alice with all the weapons and abilities of all the enemies she had encountered on her journey.
Despite the Queen's assertion that Alice will only destroy herself if she resisted, Alice showed no fear, and was able to defeat the horrific monster. Her victory transformed Wonderland back into its original, peaceful form, and the now-sane Alice was allowed to leave Rutledge Asylum
when Alice is placed in Houndsditch Home for Wayward Youth, she received therapy from Dr. Bumby. However, this only encouraged Alice's guilt surrounding her family's death to return, which allowed the Red Queen to revive, among other things. Although much diminished, the Queen of Hearts was no longer dead and still held a tenuous grasp on her Domain of Queensland. Unable to regain control of Wonderland, and still very weak, she fiercely wanted to be left alone.
The Queen of Hearts was once a beast of many tentacles, which stretch throughout Wonderland as literal tendrils wrapping around Alice's mind; even her puppet body's hair and limbs are simply more tentacles. Her castle is covered with her flesh, and many of its passages contain bones or esophagi, implying that the edifice is built into her own massive body.
Her true, horrible form's face also has the head of the Mad Hatter within its mouth, with the head of Alice within that.
after her defeat, the Red Queen's tentacles have retreated to Queensland, although the castle is still built into them. Her multiple eyes and hearts are planted throughout the domain, which allow her to monitor her land but also give Alice a way to weaken her.
Although the face of her original puppet body is destroyed, the Queen's new puppet body has a human-like upper body, albeit gaunt from starvation, whose face shares the likeness of Alice's own as a child. She has Alice's dark black hair and green eyes.
Her arms and lower body are still composed of tentacles, she has the hands that resemble veins or bare flesh, and her voice constantly fluctuates in pitch and tone, symbolizing that her mouths and throats scattered around the castle, ranging from the voice of a young girl (Alice Liddell's former self) to one of an old woman (her own voice).
In the beginning, the Queen of Hearts is a ruthless and violent leader who will not hesitate to destroy what she must in order to achieve her goals. She has a "guilty until proven innocent" outlook and she is of the opinion that authority must be obeyed, or it must be overthrown. Her motives are always apparent through the degrading stages of Wonderland.
She is well-spoken and fairly educated, knowing much about Wonderland and Alice's disposition.
She is a fairly cocky in her own right, constantly undermining Alice and attempting to "teach" her, sometimes more forcefully than others. It is apparent that she sees herself as superior, constantly treating others as idiotic – with the exception of Bumby or the Dollmaker.
Her intents, however, are much more somber later on, wanting only to be left alone and away from the chaos of Wonderland while she retreats into her destroyed kingdom. She has apparently learned her lesson from Alice's third return to Wonderland, and is less antagonistic towards Alice during her fourth adventure. The Queen even gives Alice advice to remember her family's murderer, and tells Alice to make her survival mean something, as if she is more sympathetic and understanding towards Alice's plight.

Doctor Heironymous "Harry" Q. Wilson was responsible for the treatment of Alice Liddell during her decade-long time spent at Rutledge Asylum, following her care by Dr. Grantham at Littlemore Infirmary. He has been working at the asylum for decades since around 1841.
Though he had achieved a state of closeness with her, he seemed to be skeptical of Alice ever regaining her sanity, though the final entry in his casebook, excluding the last verse in Alice's poem, alluded to the possibility of self-gratification that she will spend the rest of her life with him.
Alice felt his "questions always seemed intrusive," his "prodding ill-conceived," and his "practices dubious at best." Despite this, Alice does not seem to resent him since she knew he never meant to harm her and did have good intentions. She would instead understand if Wilson resents her because she was a "great disappointment" to him.

The Jabberwock, also known as the Jabberwocky, was a creature of Wonderland and an enemy of Alice Liddell, who acted as a monstrous manifestation of Alice's survivor guilt over the death of her family.
Alice never met the Jabberwock personally during her childhood, only in a poem entitled Jabberwocky.
She first heard of the Jabberwock during her time in the Looking Glass World. When she first encounters the chess piece characters White King and White Queen, Alice finds a book written in a seemingly unintelligible language. Realizing that she is travelling through an inverted world, she recognizes that the verses on the pages are written in mirror-writing. She holds a mirror to one of the poems, and reads the reflected verse of "Jabberwocky". She finds the nonsense verse as puzzling as the odd land she has passed into, later revealed as a dreamscape.
In the poem, the Jabberwock was described as a frightening monster which was slain by an unknown hero that used the Vorpal Blade. Although Alice liked the poem and it made her think, due to the unusual words in it, she found the poem hard to understand, and only grasped that it was about someone killing something.
After his encounter with the hero and the Vorpal Blade, the Jabberwock was left hideously mutilated and weak. As a result, several of his body parts were replaced with mechanical prostheses, presumably engineered by the Mad Hatter.
After being "re-built," the Jabberwock became the Queen of Hearts' most dangerous servant and her most powerful line of defense. His new mechanical wings made him a skilled flyer, while his furnace-like heart enabled him to breathe massive gouts of fire. He was also capable of firing lasers from his eyes, implying that they were mechanically augmented as well. Alice was sent to find the Jabberwock in order to complete the Eye Staff, which was the only thing that could breach the gates of Queensland. On the way to the Jabberwock, Alice encountered Jabberspawn which served as his devoted warriors.
Alice first encountered the Jabberwock inside a burning manifestation of her former home in the Land of Fire and Brimstone. Inside the lair, the Jabberwock cruelly tormented Alice verbally, placing her at blame for the fire and the death of her family, before facing her in combat. With the help of the Gryphon, Alice managed to wound Jabberwock, stabbing out one of his eyes. Although the beast fled with his life, Alice claimed his lost eye as the final piece of the Eye Staff.
Later, Alice found the Jabberwock again in Queensland. The Gryphon faced the Jabberwock one-on-one, only to be mortally wounded. Infuriated, Alice fought the Jabberwock herself, using the Eye Staff against its former owner. Eventually, Alice would avenge the Gryphon by defeating the Jabberwock, causing his wings to disintegrate as his own furnace heart suffered a fatal overload.
When Alice hallucinated Pris transforming into a Jabberwock on Pris' rooftop, it proved to be too much for Alice and she slipped into unconsciousness, returning to Wonderland.
As Alice traveled through the Vale of Tears, she found the Vorpal Blade sticking out of the skull of the skeletal remains of the Jabberwock. Soon after Alice obtained the blade, the skeleton turned to dust and blew away.

The Cheshire Cat is Alice Liddell's primary ally and principal companion in Wonderland. He is a talking cat that constantly smiles, and can disappear at will.
Although a friend to Alice, the Cheshire Cat commonly has a snarky attitude towards her and she always returns the same treatment. Cynical, sarcastic, distant, philosophical and earnest, he can render valuable service.
During Alice's first visit to Wonderland, he was the pet cat of the Duchess and was very fat. She first encountered him in the Duchess' house sitting by the fireplace. Alice was curious why the cat could grin, and the Duchess only told her that it was because it was a "Cheshire" cat.
He later followed Alice outside, watching her from a tree. Cat asked where the Duchess' baby had gone. Alice told the Cat that the baby had turned into a pig and ran away. The Cheshire Cat disappeared briefly before coming back to double-check her answer, as he thought Alice had said "fig" instead of "pig." He also told Alice about the Mad Hatter and the March Hare, and pointed where they lived, and that he would be at the Queen of Hearts's croquet match. Alice, who was not at ease by the Cheshire Cat's sudden disappearances, asked if he could do it slower. The Cat did as he was asked, disappearing bit-by-bit until all that was left was his smile. Alice responded to this by remarking "I've seen a cat without a grin, but never a grin without a cat!" before the smile disappeared.
His head later appeared during the Queen of Hearts' croquet game to cheer up Alice. The Queen ordered the Cat to be decapitated, but the Executioner argued that he could not because the Cat lacked a body to decapitate. This led to an argument between the Queen, the King and the Executioner about whether or not a disembodied head could be decapitated. The Queen ordered that the Duchess should deal with the Cat, as it was her pet, and let her out of jail. After the Duchess took Alice to see Gryphon and Mock Turtle, the Cheshire Cat was not seen again during Alice's first trip and never made an appearance during her second trip. However, it was believed that the Cheshire Cat made other appearances in unrecorded trips to Wonderland.
After falling into Wonderland and into the Village of the Doomed, Alice met him after briefly seeing the White Rabbit. Alice remarked that he had gone mangy although his grin was a comfort.
He often spoke in riddles and gave cryptic and sometimes nonsensical advice. When the White Rabbit died, Cheshire Cat told Alice not to pity herself and continue her mission.
During the confrontation with the Queen of Hearts, the Cheshire Cat was about to say something to Alice in a non-cryptic way, although he was killed under the Queen's orders before he could deliver the full message about both Alice and her nemesis. He was brutally beheaded by one of the Queen's tentacles, causing Alice to be emotionally distressed.
After Alice killed the Queen of Hearts, he was restored back to life.
When Alice returned to Wonderland, Cheshire Cat greeted her in the Vale of Tears. She appeared to be dismissive and suspicious of the Cat, even telling him not to bully her. Cheshire Cat, along with the Insane Children, acted as Alice's guide through Wonderland once again and gave advice through riddles. He also appeared in certain Radula Rooms, specifically, Quiz Rooms.
On the tram leading to Hatter's Domain, Cat appeared and told her that much has changed in Wonderland since her last visit. Alice mentioned that Bumby told her that change is constructive and good, but Cat replied that change is not necessarily bad or good, and implored her to find the Hatter. Alice dismissed the Cat's remark about her being as randomly lethal as before, and sternly told him to go away.
Outside Queensland, the Cat greeted Alice and reminisced with her about her previous encounter with the murderous Red Queen before telling Alice that she must speak to the her former enemy.
When Alice entered Londerland, the Cat's voice told Alice that while she cannot return "home", Wonderland was safe in her memory, and the suffering Alice went through was worth the truth of her family's death.
