About:
Imagine, if you can, the most curious person you know. Imagine for the moment, how much their curiosity gets them in trouble, the adventures they get involved in, the things they discover and uncover, and even the types of people they might meet. Now imagine, that most curious person paired with an imagination able to create worlds. Not just worlds, but people and creatures within it to a fine detail. Not just worlds and creatures, but also notions and concepts that can seem even mad. This most curious and imaginative person might seem a little mad themselves, in fact. Well, all this, the curiosity, the imagination, and even the little bit of madness is in fact all in one person. A child, in fact, named Alice Pleasance Liddell, of Oxford England, to be precise. But there's more, of course, than just a wildly, curiously, and mad imagination to the little seven year old girl.

Alice is a very bright and cheery-natured little girl. She’s always trying to find the silver lining of a situation and could even be called quite the optimist. She tries not to let anything bother her for too long or too much. She will actually berate herself if she gets too upset over something (this will sometimes induce more tears). She will also endeavor to help other people find something positive about a situation since she doesn’t like the idea of people being down-trodden for very long. If she sees that someone is having a hard time, Alice will actually try and help them; be it as simple as making them a cup of tea or helping take care of someone. She accepts that being sad or angry is a part of living, going through the actions herself, but she thinks that they are much easier to handle if someone is helping. That is not to say Alice doesn’t get that sometimes people want to be alone, even she understands and wants to be alone sometimes. However, it will sometimes take people outright telling her they need to be alone for her to actually do this. Alice will do everything she can to make a situation better or help a person if someone is hurt or sick. Depending on how deeply she feels for someone, she may drive herself into exhaustion to either help or take care of another person.

Alice is also very honest, whether she wants to be or not. She tries not to lie to anyone (herself or otherwise), even if the lie would be better to tell. She is not unable to lie per say, but she is quite terrible at lying and her lies are easily discovered. She's also quite blunt, as children are wont to be, and sometimes says things that are insensitive because of her honesty. When she knows she shouldn’t say what she’s thinking, she will just remain silent. Alice isn’t only honest in the terms of lying or telling the truth. Her emotions are very honest too.

When she is happy she is enthusiastically happy, when she is sad, or angry she will show it. She doesn’t hide what she is feeling though she tries to downplay any sadness she may be feeling simply because she doesn’t wish to trouble anyone with it. She doesn’t want anyone’s good mood to be brought down because of any of her negativity, but she will also honestly tell someone if she is upset should they ask. Alice is also honest in what she thinks of people. Alice is a very physically affectionate girl and will hug and hold those she cares for or those she thinks needs it. The dearer you are to her, the longer her physical affection will last and the more of it that person will receive.

Alice won’t let herself get pushed around for very long. She can be pushed around to a certain point because she tries to generally be polite, however, if she is pushed too far (and it doesn’t take much to push her far), she becomes persnickety and even snarky in her actions and replies, this is seen often throughout Wonderland and the Looking Glass where she gets very short and critical of the Queen of Hearts and the royal court. She doesn’t care if you’re a king, noble, or some mythical creature, she won’t let herself be pushed around and she will you call you out on your rudeness or insult. She will even insult you back if she thinks you deserve it, although her insults, while creative, are childish in nature. If Alice no longer wants to fight or she thinks that something is complete drivel she will walk away and ignore the thing completely, she does this when she gets frustrated with the caterpillar. Her temper, while not violent, is easy to pull out of her.

Alice can actually be an outright brat if she’s pushed far enough or she feels something is rather unjust, and she won’t care that she’s a brat. Due to her age, Alice has a tendency of being, unintentionally, insensitive or childish. She strives to be polite and courteous, but she may say rude things or catch herself saying something she shouldn't because she knows no better. If informed she's being rude or childish, she will strive to improve but her age does limit her. She's incredibly prone to self-correcting, although there are times her self-correction make her cry. Her tears are often at frustration and less likely to ever be from fear. She can feel quite fearless in certain situations, as any child might, feeling themselves invulnerable to many things. She isn’t even frightened by being harmed since she can be threatened with beheading and not bat an eye at it (though if someone actually moved to strike or harm she would be scared by it, but the threat alone does not scare her). That isn’t to say Alice isn’t scared of anything. She’s actually petrified of the dark with a list of other things (extremely large bugs are on said list). On a whole, however, little frightens her.

Perhaps, some of the biggest, if not the biggest, things about Alice is that she is an extremely curious girl and also very imaginative. It is because of her huge imagination and her curiosity that her adventures even take place. She will allow her imagination and curiosity to take full effect and dictate her actions until both are sated. Her curiosity rarely takes a side seat to a situation.

Her curiosity, in fact, can make her reckless to her own body. For example, she will drink a bottle labeled "DRINK ME" or a cake labeled "EAT ME" for the mere curiosity of what it would do to her and if it would possibly help her towards her goals. It is also her curiosity that allows Alice to adapt to a situation and generally go with the flow of everything around her. While she may ask numerous questions about it she will still go along with it. She has extremely vivid flights of fancy and is fond of games and pretending and is extremely playful. She loves a good game and adores an even better riddle. She's honestly just a little girl who wants to spend time learning as much as she can and having a good time while doing it.

Alice is interesting mix of logic and naïveté, she is also very clever. She is incredibly good at riddles and chess, both are games she's fond of playing. She goes about viewing answers, as one might guess, a child. Still, she tries and views some matters as just a very complex riddle or chess game. How she's so good at both could be attributed to her vast imagination but for all her cleverness, Alice is quite blind to potential manipulations and general dangers. Sometimes sarcasm is lost on her as well, although she is capable of picking up on it.

Alice is a little girl with flights of fancy, her curiosity, and her imagination as her strongest points. She's quite literally known for her curiosity, but it is not her curiosity that makes up all of Alice.

Inventory:
+ Bright blue Victorian attire for middle class 7 year old girls
+ A box of comfits
+ A handkerchief
+ A red queen chess piece
+ Her small black kitten, Dinah


Feature Type: Alice will be taking on the features of a hummingbird. To start, she'll have bright blue and purple iridescent wings that come out of her shoulder blades that allow for incredibly fast forward, backward, hover, and upside-down flight. She will have a few feathers of the same color as her wings growing out of her scalp and along the edges of her hair line. Her fingernails will be a little sharper and longer like talons and her nails on her hands will be turned black. She will gain slightly better sight thanks to her being a hummingbird. She will also be gaining long blue and purple iridescent tail-feathers that will be coming out from the base of her spine that will go down to her ankles.

What are your plans with this character? I thought this game looked absolutely adorable and Alice, curious thing that she is, would want to explore this world and furthermore explore her new ability to fly.
