Alice Ledell

Alice Ledell ( アリス- リデル , Arisu Rederu) is the protagonists in the manga series, Alice of Wonderland. She is the only survivor of the Ledell family and the daughter of Edith Ledell and Clark Ledell. She is the twin sister of Anna Ledell, and the supposed rightful heir to the throne  Wonderland.

Alice was born to Edith Ledell, otherwise known as Edith the Queen of Wonderland, who in return for being able to leave Wonderland and live a regular life as a human promised to gift her first born child to become the next Queen of Wonderland. However, because Edith had twins (Alice and Anna), the prophecy was changed. Originally, the oldest twin (Anna by a minute) was to become the Queen, and Alice was to rule Overland. Due to an accident, their destinies were swapped and Alice acquired Anna's crown and throne.

Appearance
Alice Ledell's character design is heavily based off of the original Alice Liddell's appearance. Alice has long, beautiful straight blonde hair that reaches past her waist and is very fine in texture. She has even bangs that come to the bottom of her eyebrows, and large sky blue eyes. Alice's trademark is the big  bow she wears on her head, which is either blue or black. Unlike the original Alice Liddell, Alice's bow does not have a hairband supporting it, and is rather tied to a part of her hair. Alice's dress is also blue, with long sleeves that reach to her elbow. The sleeves have two layers of frilly blue fabric, with the bottom layer being a lighter blue. Her sleeves also become short and capped when the weather becomes warmer. Under her neckline a white fabric covers her chest and goes up to middle of her neck, with black buttons. The trim of her dress skirt is white, and a white line also runs through the bottom of the skirt for decoration. Alice wears a white apron with thin straps, that covers up part of her blue dress. At the bottom of the apron, there are the four symbols of a suit of cards in alternating black and red colors. At one point, Alice cuts off her own hair into a chin-length bob, to create a clear and obvious difference between her and Anna in order to make her point that they are not the same person despite being twins.

Personality
Outwardly, Alice's personality seems to be rather simple. She appears to be a very sweet, optimistic, adventurous girl who is rather kind. However, as the series grows, it is discovered that Alice has many hidden characteristics and that her character, which appears to be rather solid and easy to read, is immensely fragile and complex.

Though Alice truly is kind, optimistic, and adventurous, she is also very intelligent. She is sharp and witty, and can use her words as cunning weapons if needed. She's the only one able to easily answer the Cheshire Cat's riddles and solve the puzzles her gives her continuously, without irritation or problem, and has the ability to easily adapt to situations and use her resources to get out of hard situations by thinking outside of the box.

While she's incredibly compassionate and sweet, she is actually unable to form solid, healthy relationships with others. Because of all the things Alice saw growing up as a child in all of her foster homes, and because of the cruel way she was treated  at Riddleridge and London Orphanage, she is unusually detached and wary of others. She knows how cruel and deceitful people can be, and thus keeps her distance and does not trust anyone easily. Even after suffering from amnesia, Alice is unable to trust others or form deep bonds with them. It is seen that in social relations, Alice often asks about the other person's well being, supports them, and listens to their problems, but she never talks about herself. Her relationships with others are one-sided, as she does not open up to others about herself as a defense mechanism. If others don't know about her, they can't hurt her. Thus, Alice is unable to form balanced give-and-take relations.

Despite her distrust and detachment from others, Alice believes that everyone is a good person at heart. No matter how cruel or evil they may appear, she thinks that somewhere deep down inside there is a glimmer of goodness, since people are not born evil. Alice has an extremely strong grasp on this belief and refuses to let others tell her otherwise. It is shown that the reason Alice believes that so strongly is because she fears that she is not a good person herself, due to her cowardice that cost her the loss of her family. She keeps this belief alive because as long as she believes other people are good at heart, it means that she must be, too. Knowing that helps her deal with the guilt of loosing her family and surviving.

Before she lost her memories, Alice was seen to be a very dull, depressed, and docile girl because she had been physically and emotionally scarred by her foster families and been betrayaed and hurt by the people she loved most (Doctor Crowsworth). She was nearly catatonic and zombie like in her interactions, and showed no emotion. However, throughout the series, due to the amnesis that Alice initially suffered from, she acts very enthusiastic, gentle, optimistic and brave and never returns to her depressed state.

Powers & Abilities

 * Psychometry - Alice, since she was a young child, held small psychic abilities. When she'd touch especially old or sentimental objects, she'd have visions of the future or their meaning. These powers grew stronger as the grew older, which was a large factor in others calling her odd and treating her like a freak and an outcast. She also develops the power to place fake memories into objects and even ask them questions (depending on their history and magic content).
 * Endless Clock - Because of her destiny in the Prophecy of Wonderland XXV, Alice was the next in linePh04.png to master the Endless Clock. The Endless clock has special abilities that allow the use to travel back in time (but for the amount of time they travel back or forward in time, they lose those minutes of their life to the clock), or forward into the future. If Alice travels two hours into the past, Alice will loose two hours of her life. The clock will soak up the two hours of Alice's life and the next person to use the clock (the next Master) will use the two hours of Alice's life to travel time in an endless cycle, hence the name Endless Clock. The clock also allows one to travel between worlds, but one can only travel between a world they already visited or lived in, even if they only dreamed about the other world.
