Charles White

Charles White ( チャールズ-白, Chaaruzu Whito), better known as White the White Rabbit, is a character in the manga series Alice of Wonderland. He is the son of the King and Queen of Hearts (XVII) and the prince of the Kingdom of Hearts. He eventually renounces the title to his younger sibling, Lewis White, in order to serve Anna Ledell.

He was originally meant to become the King of Cards and rule Wonderland next to Anna Ledell, but because Alice and Anna's destinies were switched, Alice was set to become the Queen of Cards, making Alice Ledell his new soulmate. Despite this, White stayed by Anna's side, defying his own destiny.

Appearance
White has snow white hair that points out in every direction, with long fringes that frame his face and red eyes that resemble a rabbit's. He has long, white and pink rabbit ears that stand up straight when he is happy, calm or alert, and that fold down when he is sad, relaxed, or deep in thought.

White wears multiple outfits throughout the series. His most common one is wore when he is with Anna in the Overlands. This outfit is composed of long, white pants, an unbuttoned white dress coat with long sleeves and gold trimmings, with a gray undershirt that has a folded collor. On the neck of his gray shirt he wears a thin red ribbon with gray squares. Over his gray undershirt, he wears a gray vest with white stripes and red buttons. There are cuffs on the upper arm sleeves of his white jacket, which are red with gray triangles. He wears white gloves with gray cuffs and red buttons, and has a pocket watch hanging off of his coat pocket. His pants also have a line of gray down the sides with white stripes running through them, and a white waist coat.

His other main outfit is worn in Wonderland. It is a simple white shirt with a red tie, a black vest with a heart on the breast pocket, and black and red cuffs on the upper arm sleeves, along with his usual pocket watch and gloves. This is all accompanied by black pants with a red stripe down the middle. He can sometimes appear wearing glasses.

His other outfit, worn when he is acting out the role of Prince of Hearts, is a red, black and white military suit with a golden pocket watch and golden buttons, along with a large black cape with red hearts near the bottom and a golden crown bejeweled with rubies.

Personality
White is arguably the kindest character in the series and friendliest person in Wonderland. When he was younger, he was shown to have close friendships with everyone, and was loved and adored by his people. The citizens of the Kingdom of Hearts would often brag to the other kingdoms about having such a wonderful prince and king. White was extremely kind to everyone, even the servants and the poorest peasants, often showing them compassion and caring for their illnesses while bringing them food and gifts.

He is an immensely gentle person, and does not approve of violence, seeing it as a last resort. His close relationships with people and outgoing persona allows him to see through people's lies and fake personalities, giving him a rather strong and accurate sense of judgment. He is very loyal and honest, selfless to the point that he wouldn't hesitate to give up his life for anyone else, even is a stranger. Though he appears sweet and soft spoken, he is confident and strong, and will stand up for others when they need it. He is a great leader at heart, and displays a strong sense of leadership and strategy.

However, another part of White is seen, brought out by Anna Ledell, who is crucial to his character development. White's love for Anna is so strong that he is capable of acting against his own nature for her sake. He once stated that he was willing to become cruel and evil if it was to protect her, or to make her happy (to which Anna replied that it was his  kind and gentle character that made her feel happy and safe). Though he genuinely cares for others and his politeness and kindness is true, when it comes to Anna, White is able to push away all previous feelings for others in order to put her first. He becomes rather cold and cruel to those who hurt Anna in any possible way, and is even capable of harming them if they hurt her badly. He is shown to have a strong protective streak, not just for Anna, but for all those he holds close.

He is also incredibly perceptive of other's emotions and moods, even thoughts, to the point of being empathetic. He believes violence is a last resort and tries to use words to resolve most, if not all, conflicts. He is also shown to be rather organized and a perfectionist.
