Alice

Alice is depicted as a daydreamer first and foremost. Prior to arriving in Wonderland, she sat on the bank of a river listening to her sister reading lessons, which she didn't like, as the book her sister was reading, had no pictures, and claimed, "In my world, the books would be nothing but pictures!" Alice, however, does enjoy reading, just not the books her sister prefers. This gives some idea of Alice's large imagination, and at first, Wonderland seemed like the perfect place for Alice, as it allowed her to indulge in her imaginings as well as her intense curiosity. Having been raised as a proper lady, Alice is generally very relaxed and carries a peaceful demeanor to the point where she tends to respond to Wonderland's nonsense with grace and courtesy. Alice's pedantic eagerness to show off her knowledge, coupled with her push for respect, sensibility, and fairness, proved to be adverse to the chaotic environment in Wonderland, as her resistance to Wonderland's nonsense landed her in many precarious situations that ultimately get Alice chased from Wonderland. Still, she's intelligent, polite, honest, and articulate, if not given a reason to be otherwise as aforementioned. She is also very adventurous, idealistic, and curious, as shown by her initial fascination with Wonderland. However, she soon discovers how unbearable a world of nonsense is, which tones down her curiosity and sense of adventure in favor of returning home.Suddenly out of nowhere, she noticed a White Rabbit with large pink eyes who was dressed up in a fancy coat while carrying a pocket watch. To Alice, the rabbit seemed to be late for something significant as he rushed right by her in a panic. Filled with a great curiosity that she could not ignore; Alice quickly followed him to see where he was off to in such a hurry. When the Rabbit came to another tree nearby, he went down his dark rabbit hole. Alice, who was running after him, followed the rabbit as he ventured inside of it as well. In the process, Alice accidentally lost her footing in the darkness, fell, and tumbled down a long way into a tunnel-hole that went straight down into the ground below. Further and further, she went, passing a multitude of random objects such as clocks and maps, furniture and books, even globes of the earth and containers of orange marmalade. Everything simply floated in its place, stuck and levitating within the air. After thinking to herself for a rather long time and wondering if she would fall so far that she'd reach the other side of the earth, Alice began to doze off. She was quickly awakened when she reached the bottom of this tunnel at last and continued her search for the late white rabbit. While looking for the rabbit, Alice found herself in an endlessly long and dim hallway. The hallway had many doors. After looking in the hallway, she discovered a curtain drapery, and behind it was a little door. Alice opened the tiny door to see the loveliest garden on the other side. The garden was filled with gorgeous flowers, just in bloom, marble water fountains, and even garden mazes. Alice tried to squeeze through, but it was much too small to get through.Alice then began to also search for a way into the garden. As the adventures got "curiouser and curiouser", Alice found herself in a bizarre realm, one of which went against any type of civilized logic. She found a three-legged glass table that had a bottle marked "Drink Me." After confirming it is not poison, she drinks it and grows smaller. Delighted that she can now fit through the door, she is saddened to realize she left the key on the table. After failed attempts to retrieve it, she finds a cake marked "Eat Me." After eating the whole thing, Alice is distraught as she grows to the size of a house.Throughout the story, Alice encounters many curious things, such as finding a grey talking rat while swimming in a pool of her own tears. Or the talking flowers or crying infants who turned into pigs. She eventually met a narcissistic blue caterpillar who smoked hookah all day long while he sat upon a mushroom, waiting to turn into a butterfly. Alice also encountered a talking Cheshire Cat and even a very silly mad hatter who was forever stuck in his own world of a never-ending limbo of teatime.Alice finally made her way into the Queen's rose garden. But there she encountered her royal Majesty of Wonderland, the Queen of Hearts. She was a mean and controlling Queen with a cutthroat, sociopathic personality who dominated even the King, who seemed terrified of her, as well as the rest of her royal subjects who resided within her red court. The Queen also forced her subjects to play unfair games of croquet with pink flamingos as mallets. The Queen cheated at these games to win every time, and everybody else let her, for when the Queen became angry or didn't get her way, she would lose her temper at anyone over the slightest mistake. Such as someone eating her tarts. and she'd fiercely scream out loud: "OFF WITH THEIR HEAD!" And the unfortunate person would be taken away to their fate of being beheaded. After Alice made the mistake of upsetting the Red Queen, the poor girl ended up in a court of law with a jury full of funny talking animals. There, the people of Wonderland began to gang up on her and wanted to take her head. But Alice was not about to let herself be decapitated over such ridiculous rules.She suddenly began to grow larger and larger until her head hit the top of the ceiling. She was an enormous giant, overpowering the entire court and evoking death threats from the King and Queen. Ultimately, Alice lost her temper and screamed back at everyone around her, saying that they were all nothing but a silly pack of cards. This angered the court, and they all turned on Alice under the red Queen's orders. Just as everyone was closing in on Alice and the pack of cards cornered her to seal her doom, she luckily woke up and found herself next to her older sister on the bank once again, assuming that it all was nothing more than a mere dream that she had dreamed on that warm summer day on that golden afternoon.One warm summer day, on a golden afternoon, on exactly May the 4th, Alice and her bookworm big sister went to relax and read next to a large tree under the cool shade of the flowery meadows by the riverbanks of London. The hot sun made Alice feel rather lazy and stupid. Even though she was too sleepy to collect flowers to make a daisy chain to wear as a crown and ever so bored by her sister's book because it had no pictures within it, Alice soon slipped into a midsummer daydream.Our tale deals with a slightly older Alice and happens indoors on a snowy winter night exactly six months after her adventures in Wonderland, on November 4th. One random evening, Alice is bored as usual and is left all alone in a room inside her mansion home with no one for company but the soothing crackling of the fireplace. Sitting in a big, grown-up chair next to a window, Alice watched the snowflakes fall from the sky outside. Alice wishes to herself that she were old enough to join everyone else at the bonfire that is being held. Unable to go, Alice sulks about in a lethargic state. But her pet cat, Dinah, on the other hand, is now the mother cat of a litter consisting of one black and one white baby kitten.Looking at her own reflection in a large looking glass hung up upon the wall above a high mantel, Alice began wondering what life was like on the other side of this mirror. When she tried to enter the mirror, she found she could step right into it and enter the alternative world on the other side, where everything was the opposite of what she was used to—even time in this realm ran backwards. Here, she quickly finds a book with looking-glass poetry, a story titled Jabberwocky, whose reversed printing on the pages can be read only by holding it up to the mirror.Alice also observes that the chess pieces in the room have come to life, though they remain small enough for her to pick up. Suddenly she finds herself shrunken down several sizes. Then Alice meets the Red Queen. The Red Queen shows her a view of the countryside, which is divided like an enormous chessboard. Alice asks to be allowed to play in the giant living game of chess, and the Red Queen assigns her the role of the White Pawn. Alice is to start in the Second Square, cross six brooks the divisions between squares, and end up in the Eighth Square, where she will become a Queen.Alice met many new characters and beings. On her adventure, she met the garden of live flowers, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, the White Knight, and even figures from Mother Goose's nursery rhymes like Humpty Dumpty. All while on her quest to reach the end of the Wonderland chessboard and become an official Queen.Queen Alice!Queen Alice!In the end, Alice finds herself growing back to her normal size again. She then picks up the Red Queen and shakes her like a saltshaker until the piece turns into a kitten. When this happens, Alice suddenly awakens to find herself back in the original room of the Looking Glass. The story ends with Alice recalling the speculation of events and that everything may have, in fact, been a dream, yet Alice might herself be no more than someone's dream or a figment of someone else's imagination. One final poem is inserted by the author, Lewis Carroll, as a sort of epilogue ending, which suggests that life itself is but a dream.When writing on her personality in "Alice on the Stage", Carroll described her as "loving and gentle", "courteous to all", "trustful", and "wildly curious, and with the eager enjoyment of Life that comes only in the happy hours of childhood, when all is new and fair, and when Sin and Sorrow are but names – empty words signifying nothing!" Commentators characterise her as "innocent", "imaginative", introspective, generally well-mannered, critical of authority figures, and clever. Others see less positive traits in Alice, writing that she frequently shows unkindness in her conversations with the animals in Wonderland, takes violent action against the character Bill the Lizard by kicking him into the air, and reflects her social upbringing in her lack of sensitivity and impolite replies. According to Donald Rackin, "In spite of her class- and time-bound prejudices, her frightened fretting and childish, abject tears, her priggishness and self-assured ignorance, her sometimes blatant hypocrisy, her general powerlessness and confusion, and her rather cowardly readiness to abandon her struggles at the ends of the two adventures—[....] many readers still look up to Alice as a mythic embodiment of control, perseverance, bravery, and mature good sense."The degree to which the character of Alice can be identified as Alice Liddell is controversial. Some critics identify the character as Liddell, or write that she inspired the character. Others argue that Carroll considered his protagonist and Liddell to be separate. According to Carroll, his character was not based on any real child, but was entirely fictional.Alice is a young girl living in what is assumed to be Victorian England. Her figure is slender and appears fairly petite. She has big blue eyes, pink or red lips, fair skin, and blonde, thick, medium-length hair held back by a black ribbon tied in a bow.

Appearance: Alice's signature outfit is a cerulean and light blue short-sleeved knee-length skirted dress with a matching collar, and a white pinafore apron on top, with a bow tied in the back of her apron. Underneath her dress, she wears a white petticoat, a pair of white tights, and a frilly white knee-length and matching pantalettes. She also sports black Mary Jane shoes with brown/gray soles. Her dress is wide enough to make a parachute, so she can float down to Wonderland.
