Character's Personality:

Imagine, if you can, the most curious person you know. Now 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. Continue to imagine, what might happen if that most curious person was also given an imagination able to create worlds; not just worlds, but people and creatures within it to a fine detail. And that imagination doesn't stop there, oh no, that imagination can also create notions and concepts that can seem quite mad. This most curious and imaginative person might seem a little mad themselves. Well, all that was just imagined, the curiosity, the imagination, and even the little bit of madness, is, in fact, all in one person. A child named Alice Pleasance Liddell of Oxford England, to be precise.

Alice is a very bright and cheery-natured little girl. She’s always trying to find the silver lining of a situation. She tries not to let anything bother her for too long or too much. Alice will actually berate herself if she gets too upset over something she thinks should be trivial (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 downtrodden 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 them and help with their problems. However, Alice tends to over-simplify a problem. If a problem is much more nuanced than she believes it to be, she will insist that adults are over-complicating the matter.

Whether she wants to be or not, Alice is emotionally and verbally very honest. She tries not to lie to anyone, even if the lie would be better to tell. She is not unable to lie per se, but it’s more that her mouth speaks before her mind can decide what to say. This results in her being quite blunt and sometimes says insensitive things.

As for emotional honesty, everything Alice feels, she feels deeply and enthusiastically. She doesn’t hide what she is feeling even though she’s been told it’s “not ladylike” to be so openly emotional. Alice is also honest in what she thinks of people. If she thinks that what you are doing or saying is nonsense or even stupid, she will say so without much hesitation. If Alice is fond of you, she is an incredibly physically affectionate girl. If she should happen to fight with someone she is close to, she will be mad at first and then endeavor to apologize since she doesn’t enjoy being at odds with those she loves, the same cannot be said for strangers.

Alice won’t let herself get pushed around for very long. She can be bullied to an extent because she generally tries to be polite, however, if she is pushed too far (and it doesn’t take much sometimes), she becomes persnickety and even snarky in her actions and replies. Alice is not afraid to fight verbally fight back and never really tries to "rise above it." She doesn’t care if you’re a king, noble, or some mythical creature, she won’t let herself be intimidated. She will even insult back, although her insults, while creative, are childish in nature. Her full temper may even be brought out if the fight is continuous or she thinks that someone’s stupidity and nonsense are outrageous. If Alice no longer wants to fight or she thinks that something is complete drivel she will walk away and ignore the thing completely. 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 until much later (if at all). Generally, she is a sweet girl and doesn’t actually enjoy insulting people or being insulted. 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 out of frustration and less likely to ever be from fear.

In fact, Alice can feel quite fearless in certain situations, as any child might, feeling themselves invulnerable to many things. That isn’t to say Alice isn’t scared of anything. She’s actually petrified of the dark and the prospect of someone dear to her getting hurt can terrify her along 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 inquisitive and very imaginative. It is because of her huge imagination and her curiosity that her adventures even take place. She will allow her creativity and curiosity to take full effect and dictate her actions until both are sated. Her curiosity rarely, if ever, takes a side seat to a situation that causes her all the trouble in the first place.

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. 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. While she prefers things like tea parties and group activities, Alice is certainly more than capable of entertaining herself. Unfortunately, said imagination and games can get her into trouble since, as stated, her personal regard for safety will sometimes be overlooked for the sake of satisfying her curiosity and whims.

Alice is also a peculiar mix of extremely naive and yet very logical. She will trust and listen to someone very easily until something presents itself not to trust them and her willingness to trust makes her easy to manipulate since she places full faith in most adults. However, she will also use her logic to make an argument against someone, adult or otherwise. Her logic can cause her to be extremely stubborn, when pressed, it's hard for her to shake her beliefs. Alice may have an interesting mix of logic and naïveté, but overall, she's incredibly clever. She's highly skilled at riddles and chess.

Character Abilities:

Alice has no abilities as far as fighting and magical powers go (unless you were to count her vast imagination). However, Alice is quite adept at baking at her age. It wouldn't be anything terribly fancy, but basic sweets, tea, and simple dishes are well within the realm of her capabilities.

She can also do some minor sewing and embroidering because it's what a proper lady "should know." She knows fluent French and a little Latin. In general, anything that a young lady would know of her era she either knows or was learning it (or going to learn it).

Alice also makes amazing daisy-chains and flower crowns.

Well versed in poetry and stories and able to recite them easily.

Her BEST ability is that she is extremely talented at riddles and chess, even for her age.

Player Opt-out/Opt-in Permissions post: Permissions though she lacks any abilities that would require this.
