Anna Ledell

Anna Ledell ( アンナ-リデル , Anna Rederu), better known as Alyss, is one of the main protagonists of the series. She first appears as an antagonist, the villain whose goal is to take revenge on Alice and destroy Wonderland. Later it is revealed that she is actually Alice's twin sister, Anna, who was forced to switch destinies with Alice and thus condemned to life as Mistress of Overland; she actually wishes to save and not destroy Wonderland.

Anna is the daughter of Clark and Edith Ledell, and Alice's identical twin sister. She is the older twin by one and a half minutes. She currently rules as the Mistress of Overland, against her own will. She died when she and Alice were only seven years old. She was murdered by the old Lord of  Overland in order for her to ascend to Overland and become the new Mistress of Overland.

Appearance
Anna is Alice's identical twin. She looks nearly exactly the same as Alice. She has large, bright sky blue eyes and fair skin, with a very thin, childlike figure. She has even bangs that reach to the bottom of her eyebrows and long hair that falls past her waist. The only difference in appearance that is obvious between Anna and Alice is their hair color, for Anna has raven black hair and Alice has blonde hair. Anna's hair was originally blonde, like Alice's, but once she became the official Mistress of Overland, the darkness in Overland tainted her hair, turning it black.

Anna's main outfit is her Mistress of Overland dress. The dress was given to her by White after her clothes were teribbly torn from fighting the Nightmares of Overland. It is a very beautiful and ornate  dark red dress. It has a floor-length skirt with curving layers of bunched up fabric that open at the middle of the waist and flare out in layers, revealing Anna's legs. However, over her legs she wears a knee-length white skirt with hearts at the bottom. She wears a white sleeveless undershirt beneath a red corset that is sowed together to the dress's skirt, which has white heart buttons next to the black lace of the corset. The top of the corset makes a heart shape, The sleeves of the corset are off-the shoulder and red, with white bows on the tips. A few inches below the off-the shoulder sleeves are red arm warmers that go from the middle of Alice's arm to the middle of her fingers. These arm warmers are decorated with black and white ruffles and multiple white bows. Anna has various other dresses, all gifted to her by White, but seldom wears them. She can also be seen with silver chains on her arms at times.

Personality
Anna's personality changes vastly throughout her life and the series. When she was younger she was depicted as a shy, sweet and innocent child who was very gentle and friendly, and a lot of fun to be around. She had a rather naive but loving nature, and loved playing with people, though she was soft spoken.

However, after the tragedies she suffered after becoming the Mistress of Overland, the anger she began towards Alice due to her sister's betrayal and abandonment of her changed Anna's personality drastically. After she realized what Alice and her actions had cost her, Anna started to harbor growing feelings of anger, sorrow, resenment, jealousy, and eventually hatred for Alice. This caused her to become much more unkind than she was initially. Because of all the horrible things she was forced to do (and see) in Overland, she developed a cold, detached demanor to protect herself from the horror and pain she had to suffer, and thus began acting rather cruelly and ruthlessly. As the Overlands slowly turned Anna towards insanity, she began to develop rapid mood swings and could become rather aggressive, such as attacking Cheshire with a kitchen knife and cutting apart dolls with scissors.

Despite all of these things, Anna actually remained innocent and compassionate. Though she acted cruel and detached in order to survive Overland, that persona only served as a wall to shield her heart and mind from the darkness of Overland, and the true Anna was hidden behind that wall. The true Anna was still sweet and rather innocent, pure at heart and unable to willfully harm someone innocent (Alice did not count as Anna did not see her as innocent). Anna, at the beginning, seemed to have split personalities. One personality was forged by the insanity that the Overlands was casting upon her. This insane persona of Anna was rather violent, out of control, emotional and harsh, and would attack anything she saw as a threat. The other persona was the real Anna, outwardly cold and mean but truly kind, honest and pure.

Anna is actually one of the kindest characters, unable to even hate anyone (even Alice) at heart, as seen when the Mirror of Truth showed nobody when asked who Anna hated in the world. Her absolute rejection of harming anyone innocent or even criminal shows her large heart, and her ability to forgive even Alice displays the fact that she did not enjoy feeling negatively towards Alice. Instead of hating Alice, Anna's true feelings were that of sorrow and loneliness, as she felt that Alice had abandoned her.

Anna's real personality is made much more prominent and obvious after she and Alice reunite, and she is allowed to enter Wonderland. She is a very loyal and kind sister, a good listener and selfless, putting Alice and her friend's needs before her easily. She is very cheerful, and can get very passionate and excited about some things, acting rather childlike. She loves playing games and reading, and is seen to be a very strong writer.

Powers
Because of her occupation as Mistress of Overland, Anna has various powers bestowed upon her. The more she uses her Death Magic (the magic given to the current rulers of Overland), though, the more she is driven towards insanity and the more her soul rots away.
 * Death Magic: The powers that Anna was given as Mistress of Overland are extremely strong and have various abilities within them, mostly pertaining to darkness and the dead.
 * Reanimation- The ability to reanimate the corpses or bones of deceased people or monsters and control them for a short period of time.
 * Subordination- Anna has the ability to control the monsters and spirits of Overland, even the ones she encounters outside of Overland.
 * Life Manipulation- Anna can take the life from another living being or monster if she cuts them. She can use this to heal herself and get stronger, but it is discovered that if she mutilates herself, she is able to give her own life to others, as she did to White.
 * Physical Immortality- Because Anna is dead, she has become a spirit. She can physicall touch and harm objects, but cannot herself be harmed by mortal physical attacks such as bullet shots, knife cuts, punches and kicks. Though she still feels pain, and can be killed or harmed by magical attacks, mortal physical attacks cannot kill her.
 * Illusion- Anna can create illusions and trap a person in an illusionary world. Once people are trapped in her illusion world, she has access to their fears, regrets, mistakes and lies.
 * Puppetry- Anna can animate dolls and stuffed animals and control them, but she can also make clones of herself, which she uses as puppets.
 * Shadow- Anna can summon and use the powerful Shadow, a demon element hybrid that is extremely dangerous and legendary. However, doing this and controlling Shadow is such a powerful task that it may kill Anna afterwards.
 * Scythe of Black: The twin weapon created to rival and miror the Scythe of White, this is one of the Dark Instruments, the shadow versions of the Imperial Weapons. This is the second most powerful Dark Instrument, after the Sword of Ivashnol. It has many abilities, including:
 * Can cut through wood, iron, steel, glass and flesh.
 * Turn into the element of Shadow.
 * Makes the user extremely agile, fast, and defensive
 * Can propell the user into the air for 15 feet.
 * Clairvoyance: Like her twin, Anna developed psychic abilities at a young age. Anna was often able to predict small happenings of the future at home, though she kept them to herself often because children at school thought she was weird because of it. Anna often uses tarot cards or mirrors to see visions of the past, future, or present at will.
 * Psychokinesis: Though her PK powers are much weaker than her clairvoyance, Anna can perform small tasks using her PK, such as pulling triggers, picking locks, or lifting cards or knives with her mind.
