Alice Ledell/Relationships

Cheshire Cat
Cheshire fell in love with Alice when he was only a child, merely eight years old. When he was ordered to spy on Alice by Alyss, Cheshire travelled to the surface and found Alice at the London Orphanage, where she was treated horribly by the wardens and other children there. At first he acted professionally and viewed Alice strictly as a mission from Alyss, but as he watched her he began to take a liking to her wittiness, compassion and strength. As the years passed by, he would visit the surface more often (despite the fact that Alyss did not order him to) just to see Alice as much as possible. His feelings for her grew from strong respect and admiration to love the more time passed.



When Alice arrived in Wonderland, it was Cheshire who guided her through the three tasks, but physically, he was the third person she ran into (after Absolem and White) was Chez. He found her and helped her escape from White, telling her that White was on the Lady Black's side. When Alice asked who she was, Cheshire felt conflicted, and merely said, "someone who doesn't...feel the need to act kindly towards you." He was surprised and pleased when Alice was able to solve his riddles, and thus took her to his mother, the Queen of Diamonds, who would help Alice face Alyss and regain her memories.

While Cheshire loved Alice deeply, Alice had more trouble returning his feelings. She felt affection and admiration towards him, but due to her feelings for the Mad Hatter, she wasn't able to completely love Cheshire and answer his feelings, even after Hatter was revealed to be evil. This put a rift in their relationship, even as Cheshire continued to help her. When Cheshire confessed his feelings for her, Alice ran away, because even though she knew Hatter was evil, she couldn't seem to completely accept it, despite all the anger she felt towards him. Though she clearly loved Cheshire platonically, she felt it unfair to answer his confession until she completely sorted out her feelings for Hatter.

Even after Hatter was dead, Alice was unable to return Cheshire's feelings completely and to move on, and answers Cheshire's confession with a rejection, saying she sees him as a friend. Alice realizes she is in love with Cheshire after hearing that he was attacked and in vital condition. After realizing how she felt so empty and sorrowful at the thought of him dying, she is able to accept his feelings and tries to return his romantic feelings for her. Alice often fears her ability to love back Cheshire the way he deserves, as he has unconditional, true love for her while she still feels fickle and unsure about her own feelings regarding Cheshire and Hatter. After Hatter is returned, though she initially cries and claims she still loves him, after interacting with the post-mirror realm Hatter she is finally able to realize that her love for Hatter can never be fulfilled, and as a result she is able to let him go and move on from the Hatter and fall very deeply in love with Cheshire, cherishing him for his kindness, sunny disposition, and cleverness. Alice noted that both of them had conflicted feelings regarding another person (Cheshire had loved Anna, and Alice Hatter), but in the end they were always drawn back together. She and Cheshire are both adventurous, witty, and rather independent, and they bicker childlishly at times, making their relationship slightly comical.

White Rabbit
Alice met the white rabbit at the very beginning of the story. He was the one assigned to guide and serve her in Wonderland, and due to her swapping destinies with Anna, he became her current soulmate. However, their relationship is not romantic.

Initially, Alice did not trust White. However, his gentle demeanor, soft voice and kind eyes made her trust him subsantially more than others, as shown in her reluctance to follow the Cheshire Cat and leave White, and she quickly developed a crush on him during her first few days in Wonderland.

White was very polite and quite kind to Alice, but due to his relationship with Alyss, he was unable to trust or accept Alice, causing his interactions with her to be rather strained, and less kind than the way he acts towards most people (though still very kind). Because of their soulmate bond, though, White was unable to deny the special connection between them. He gradually felt a platonic love grow for her, though it is made obvious throughout their interactions that he views her simply as a little sister, and loves her like one loves their family or younger siblings.

When Alice accidentally lets it slip that she has a crush on him (though she holds no deep feelings for him, just simply infatuation and admiration), White gently smiles that he already knows. When Alice sadly asks why he dislikes her so much (she has realized he is rather unkind to her compared to others, despite the fact that for him, unkind is still kind), even venturing he might hate her, White pats her on the head and tells her he could never hate her, but he could never love her either, or even return her crush on him. When Alice wonders if she did something he didn't like, he laughs slightly and says, "You might say that." He then tells her he is in love with someone else, and Alice is easily able to forget her crush on him. She still holds him rather dear and seems to feel more at ease with him than almost anyone (save Cheshire, and Anna once they reconcile), and sees him as a brother and close friend. Their relationship is purely platonic.

Alyss/Anna Ledell
Alice's most important relationship, to both plot and her character development, is with Anna (Alyss). The two were very close when they were little girls, always sticking together, but had nearly opposite personalities. Because of this, Alice would often play jokes on Anna or push her into doing things she was uncomfortable with (such as playing in the woods and stealing cookies from the cookie jar). Despite her teasing, Alice deeply loved Anna as a sister, and called her "her other half". The two wore matching bows to show their kindredship, but had them in different colors to display their individuality. After Alice's actions and  cowardice causes Anna's demise, their destinies are switched, and Anna is taken to the Overland to become the new Mistress of the Mirror Realms.

Alice feels intense guilt and sorrow at Anna's death and the part she played in it, which shaped her into who she was when the story began years after the incident. Her cowardice and guilt still haunt her to the present day, and whenever she feels lost and devoid of all hope, she thinks of Anna to give her strength, thinking, "Anna wouldn't have given up. If she were here - and she would be if it weren't for me - she'd still be standing strong. She deserves to be here more than me. But, since I am here, I won't shame her by acting this way." She would then regain strength to go in with her life.

Anna, on the otherhand, developed an intense resentment for Alice. Anna sees Alice as the source of her problems, and felt abandoned and betrayed when Alice left her to die on the eve of the house fire that started it all. Afterwards, when she realized Alice's actions had changed her destiny to a cruel, dark one full of destruction and misery, she began to deeply resent  Alice for damning her to becoming Mistress of the Overlands. She feels that Alice stole her life, and what was rightfully hers, and instead gave her a dark and sorrowful destiny. As a result, Anna renames herself "Alyss" as a way to claim that she is the true "Alice", since Alice's destiny was original hers.

At the same time, White observed that Anna never truly hated Alice, because a part of her knew that Alice wasn't completely at fault and that if Anna hadn't died, Alice would have had to. Her resentment and dark feelings mostly stemed from Anna's need to blame someone as a way to make sense of her life's twisted turn. After it is revealed that the Mad Hatter is actually at fault for their parent's death and their destinies being swapped, the two are able to reconcile. Anna is able to release her true feelings for Alice, which are that of love and protectiveness as well as guilt (for hating her for so long). Alice's reconciliation with her sister allows her to trust and open up to others again, which causes her to be able to form true friendships and to love others truly. The two have a very close, loving, honest and loyal sisterly relationship after their reconciliation.

Mad Hatter
Alice's other romantic interest, and the only person she genuinely, truly loved for the entire series was the Mad Hatter. He was her true love, and her feelings for him were so strong that even after his death she was unable, for a large period of time, to love Chez and return his love for him as she could not forget Hatter.

The two met originally when Alice and Chez, along with others, went to visit Hatter in hopes that his Glass of Regret would allow her to regain her lost memories. The two instantly get along, and Alice has a strong feeling that she has met him before and knows him. She trusts and likes him quickly and the two become friends. Though their first meeting is rather short, Hatter left a lasting impression on Alice, as she thought about him several times even after they parted. They met again later, and Hatter often showed up to help at random times, acting as neither a committed ally or a foe, and often helping at desperate and unexpected moments. It was during Alice's stay at the Hatter Manor that their relationship really flourished, as Hatter took the time to teach Alice about plants (especially roses) and the two fell deeply in love with one another. After Alice left, she gave him her ribbon to remember her by in case anything happened to her.

Later, after it is revealed that Hatter was the first "Shadow Man" and the one who killed Anna and Alice's parents, Alice is heartbroken and falls into despair. She is unable to truly accept that Hatter is evil, as she was rather in love with him. Hatter initially planned to give Alice the love elixir in order to manipulate her after finding out she was part of the Key of Cards, but because of his feelings for her, he was unable to give her the potion, and sought a different method. Alice was heartbroken when she learned of Hatter's betrayal, furthering her trust issues towards people.



She wrote her feelings off as being fake and generated by the love elixir, not knowing that he hadn't actually given it to her.

Despite his betrayal, Alice couldn't bring herself to accept that their relationship and Hatter were fake. She tells Anna that she's sad that "someone like that didn't exist, after all." Alice was referring to Hatter's personality, and though she says she's only upset that it was fake, it's clear that her feelings for him and his betrayal are what caused her pain. Even though she shows strong anger towards him for turning their worlds upside down and using her and her friends, she does not seem to be able to fully accept him as evil, and hesitates before killing him, which she fails to do because her hands are shaking and he escapes when she hesitates. She expresses great despair and irritation at herself for this, but a part of her felt relieved she didn't end Hatter's life, despite knowing he was evil.



Her feelings for Hatter are so strong that she cannot fully answer Cheshire's confession for months because, despite Hatter being unmasked as their enemy, she cannot seem to let go of her feelings for him enough to fully love someone else. Eventually, when Hatter's motives are revealed, Alice realizes that the Shadow God had overtaken Hatter and turned him evil, but that his original intentions had been out of love towards Alice. She realizes that the empty love elixir was the one he gave to Anna, which backfired, and the full one was the one he had not given Alice because he didn't want her feelings towards him to be fake. Understanding that her feelings for him were real, not forced, and that he truly wasn't the antagonist they thought, she sobs and reaches out towards Hatter to save him from being swallowed  by the Shadow God, but she is too late and her fingers touch glass.





When it is revealed that Hatter is indeed alive, but stuck in the Mirror Realm, Alice becomes extremely motivated and wildly goes to try and rescue him, showing her lingering feelings for him even though she is in love and in a relationship with Cheshire. When Cheshire confronts her about it, she says she isn't in love with Hatter anymore but that she feels that she owes it to him to save him because it was their fault he ended up there, and he wasn't their enemy after all. When they arrive to the mirror realm Alice hugs Hatter tightly, but he has lost all of his memories and gone nearly insane. Alice is deeply troubled and depressed by this, but puts on a smile and takes Hatter back to Wonderland. From there she and him rebuild their relationship, but because he's too far out of her reach, they are never able to be romantically involved and he is returned to the Mirror Realm. Much like Cheshire said to Anna, Alice says that had their circumstances been different, Hatter and her could have ended up differently.

March Hare
Alice has a terrible relationship with the March Hare, Ren, when she first meets him.

Initially Alice is nearly hit by one of his flying teacups, which she found rather funny. However as soon as she set eyes on him, a wave of dark feelings overcame her. She got a headache and saw a very blurry image of her old memories, though they were unpleasant. Alice claims that she feels she has met Ren before, and wishes she hadn't because those memories bring about feelings of pain, betrayal, and fear.

As a result Alice does not like or trust the March Hare at all. However, she attempts not to judge him very badly and eventually learns to like and even accept him as a person. The two form an incredibly slow and rocky friendship, but it eventually becomes stable.

It is revealed that the reason Alice felt badly and did not trust Ren was because he deeply resembled a slightly younger version of Doctor Crowsworth, Alice's old foster father who she had loved but who had betrayed her and taken advantage of her.

Despite this, Alice is able to overcome their resemblance as she starts to see Ren as a completely different, separate person than Crowsworth and the two end up on good terms.

Absolem
Alice's first female friend was Absolem, who was one of the very first people Alice encountered in Wonderland. Because she was "very cute" and the first girl Alice had seen, she instantly befriended her and felt more comfortable around her. Alice saw Absolem as a sort of little sister and had a strong desire to form a close friendship bond with her.

Absolem, who was rather shy, easily welcomed Alice's friendship and became a very good friend of Alice. The two became best friends and Absolem often keeps Alice in check and gives her words of advice. Alice loves Absolem like a sister and is often very proud of her, and also enjoys dressing her up in cute outfits. The two are close, loyal friends to one another.

Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum
Alice's relationship with the Tweedle Twins is the same. Though she finds them rather cute and amusing, she is rather nervous around them at first and does not know how to handle their energy or games. She can always see through their word games and tricks, which made them become rather attached to Alice as a sort of older sister because she was the only one who really seemed to understand them.

Though her relationship with Tweedle Dum is better than her relationship with Dee (who seems to be more energetic than her twin and also more manipulative), she has a very close relationship with them both. Though she sees the two as sort of "pets", and cares a lot about them. She eventually grows very attached to them both and is rather protective of them. She was the one who gave them the courage to accept their own relationship, because she was the one who told them love was love, no matter what.

Queen of Diamonds 

The Queen of Diamonds acts as a sort of mother figure towards Alice. She is very kind, gentle, and affectionate towards her and expressed a lot of understand to her situation.

Similarly, Alice admires the Queen of Diamonds greatly for her benevolence, beauty and kindness. She wishes she could be as pure as the Queen, because a part of her feels that she is "tainted" despite losing her memories. The Queen loves and accepts Alice, often telling her how she wishes Cheshire would marry her or someone like her. Alice and the Queen have a friendly mother-daughter type of relationship and they trust each other.

Airiya 

Airiya is one of the few people Alice seems to have a genuinely bad relationship with, even after Airiya becomes a slight part of Alice's allies. The two have nearly opposite personalities in a negative way and are always seen arguing and glaring at each other. Though this often seems to be a comical sort of arguing, it is seen that the two genuine dislike and disrespect one another. They have a cold relationship.

However, they do see the other as powerful, worthy rivals, though they never are able to form a solid friendship. Still, because Airiya becomes attached to Anna, Alice stops purposefully arguing with Airiya (though they still argue).

Kurone 

Alice and Kurone do not seem to care much for each other. Though Alice attempted to befriend Kurone, as she always attempts to befriend others, Kurone rejected her and repeatedly shuts down her attempts at friendship. Though she acts rather cold to everyone, she seems especially so towards Alice.

When asked why, she replied that she dislikes bright, overly happy and overly friendly people like Alice because they all seem fake to her. Even if their friendliness and goodwill is genuine, that "only makes them stupid" in Kurone's eyes because it's as if they are not able to accept or see the darkness in the world. Even though this is not true, Kurone continues to be cold towards Alice even after she sees her real personality. She finds Alice rather annoying and wishes she were more quiet, but is slightly less cold to her after finding out her real personality and history.

Oliver 

Naturally, Alice and Oliver (the Shadow God) do not get along. At all.
