Alice Liddell

Alice is usually portrayed as a young woman with an underweight and fragile figure; she is borderline anorexic with a dangerously small waist, implying malnourishment. Her skin is pale, she has dark hair, a long oval-shaped face and large eyes with a shade of emerald-green. She is of average height for a woman, possibly slightly under average.

When she returns to Wonderland, Alice changes slightly to a more "beautiful" form: she has a healthier complexion, straighter and longer hair that has a reddish tinge and appears to be wearing make-up in the form of peach lipstick and black eyeliner with dark pink eye shadow. The sudden change in her physical appearance could reflect how Alice sees herself, or wishes to be, and she changes due to her mental state when she enters Wonderland, a place where her inner thoughts, desires and psyche manifest.

Alice is youngest daughter of Arthur Liddell and Mrs. Liddell and the younger sister of Lizzie Liddell. Excluding her pet cat Dinah, Alice is the sole survivor of a house fire that killed her family, causing her to have immense trauma when she was a child, affecting her reality, as well as her imaginary world, Wonderland, and its citizens.

As Alice struggled with the fragments of her memories, post-traumatic stress disorder, and deteriorating mental health after a ten-year catatonic state in Rutledge Asylum, she returned to Wonderland to save it from the Queen of Hearts, killing the monsters inside her head.

Despite her capacity to be vengeful and edgy, Alice is truly benevolent and cares about her animal friends in Wonderland very deeply. Alice's mission is to save Wonderland from the murderous Red Queen and, later, the mysterious train destroying Wonderland. Alice also gives empathy to those who she feels deserve it, and has reasons for killing the monsters in her mind. Alice prefers the peaceful Wonderland full of life and beauty, not the hellish Wonderland full of suffering and slavery imposed by the Queen/Dollmaker. In this sense, Alice can be viewed as a heroine.

Alice is reckless. She has been described as stubborn, and becomes enraged when someone says something she hates, disagrees with, or when she is talked down to, and will retort verbally. On very rare occasions, Alice has used physical violence. She is shown to be very ruthless and cynical towards others.

Alice is clever, creative, intelligent and quick-witted with a curious nature. She has a sharp tongue and a direct way of approaching things – she is not afraid to speak her mind. Alice inexplicably has a vast vocabulary despite being in a coma for much of her life; she is probably well-articulated from her parents and Dr. Wilson, and learned a lot of language subconsciously in her coma.

A representation of Alice's mental health in Wonderland, showing her fractured, unstable and demented psyche. Alice is portrayed as psychologically damaged, traumatized, tortured, tormented, suicidal, emotionally and mentally unstable. Alice is not usually happy and doesn't smile much; her mood is almost constantly apathetic, sad, miserable, depressed or angry. Alice is constantly haunted by the memories of the fire which claimed the lives of her parents and her sister, suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, and is shown to suffer from survivor's guilt as a result, which can manifest into extreme self-loathing and suicidal tendencies. Alice has stated she is not afraid of death because she has wished for it at times, and questions the point in living if she is only going to hurt others. It is implied Alice cut her wrists in an attempt at suicide. Alice uses Wonderland, her fantasy and imagination as a coping mechanism to deal with her mental health, a term known as "escapism". In this sense, Wonderland is Alice's method of catharsis. Despite her cynicism and morbidness, Alice truly wants to set her mind free and restore peace to Wonderland and her own mind.

She has shown to have understanding and sympathy towards the orphans and Insane Children who have also experienced an unfortunate childhood. Alice has a "hero complex," with her inherent desire to help those around her, despite being unable to help herself, and having a compulsion to make the world right. She calls herself a "savior... of a sort." It’s also noted that Alice is trying to 'unlock' the true meaning of her life, yet doesn't know who has the key, but later she is much more confident about overcoming her past and helping others.

Alice dislikes her reality which is portrayed as polluted, dull and disheartening, full of prostitution, child trafficking and homelessness, and struggles to cope with everyday life. Alice is not living in wealth or luxury and is financially poor, finding home in borderline poverty, yet Alice shows a lack of interest in money and finance.

Alice is lonely and does not have friends or family in real-life, as everyone else has either betrayed her or died, with animals being Alice's friends.

Alice has a few interests. She is fond of animals, including cats, pigeons and rabbits, and likes stuffed animals. She had a stuffed rabbit, likely because it was the only thing that survived the fire. Alice is fond of desserts, cake and tea. She likes reading to some extent, but wouldn't tolerate books without pictures as a child. She likes drawing and visual art and often drew lots of sketches. She has a very vivid imagination and loves fantasy - perhaps too much as she has been described as "distant" and "too content in her own Wonderland".

Her sense of humor seems somewhat dark.
