Alice Angel

"I got a bright little halo, and I'm filled with love... I'm Alice Angel!"

#### Creation

"It has always been part of our plan to bring a dynamic, strong, and intelligent character like Alice to the table,"

— Joey Drew[1]

On September 12th, 1933, Joey Drew Studios announced the first female character to join the ranks of their beloved cartoon characters Bendy and Boris. Alice was designed to be a counterbalance to the mischievous antics of Bendy and the easygoing nature of Boris the Wolf, she wants everything to be done right. She was the last character created by Henry Stein before he left the studio, but the record book of Joey Drew Studios states that Joey was the person who created her.

Alice Angel was first voiced by Susie Campbell who feels to bear a connection with Alice, unlike the other characters she previously voiced,[2] while mentioning that Sammy thinks Alice may be as popular as Bendy someday.[2] However, later on, Joey Drew announced that Allison Pendle is hired as the new voice actress for Alice Angel out of the blue,[3] much to Susie's utter shock and depression.[4]

Despite Joey's claims, Shawn Flynn, a merchandise worker within Joey Drew Studios, claimed that dolls of Alice were not selling well at all, implying she may not have been nearly as popular as believed.

## Physical Appearance

"A girl in a short black strapless dress with a halo."

— Dreams Come to Life[5]

Alice is a female humanoid cartoon character with slightly wavy medium-length black hair, thin eyebrows, and black lipstick. She has a slender frame with a small waist and fairly wide hips. She wears a black dress similar to that of a 1920's flapper dress with a short skirt (which was seen as appealing in the 1920s/30s) with a white bow that is identical to Bendy's on the center of her bust line. Like the other characters, Alice has pie cut eyes with a single eyelash each, and a small mole under her right eye. She has slightly short arms wearing a pair of white gloves with circles on the palms over black detached sleeves, and she also wears a pair of stockings with black laces, along with a couple of black pointed small-heeled shoes (though the heels aren't always visible due to their angle).

In the animated shorts, her appearance is slightly different than in-game: her hair is slightly less wavy and her dress is a little longer, thus covering the stockings' laces. She wears a much longer, floor-length version of her dress in "Siren Serenade", although her mole is seen near her left eye.

Alice has a combination of angelic and demonic traits, with a pair of white horns as well as a halo floating above her head. Her horns deflate and her halo distorts when she's in distress, as seen in her game-over image in Bendy in Nightmare Run.

In the comic strips, she is revealed to change her appearance to look rather menacing whenever she is furious, as notably shown in To the Moon. When she snaps, her horns grow bigger, her halo shrinks in size, she has sharper teeth and a pointier tongue. This same applies in Yukon Bendy when feeling devious, with two additional pointy fangs but her halo did not change.

## Personality

"Alice isn't your typical girl next door. She's a character with charm, but brains too. When Bendy is getting up to something, Alice is there to throw a wrench into his schemes."

— Joey Drew[1]

"What kind of gal? Well, she's quite a gal," said Joey Drew with a wry smile. "She sings; she dances. We think Alice's fiery, sharp character will really resonate with Bendy fans,"

— Joey Drew[1]

Alice Angel is stated to be a dynamic, strong and intelligent character with charm and brains. She is there to stop Bendy's schemes whenever the little devil is up to something, acting as the more sensible side of the two. Suggested by the "SHE SINGS! SHE DANCES!" tagline from Alice's Sent From Above poster, Alice has a talent for dancing and singing. Heard from her "I'm Alice Angel" song from Bendy and the Ink Machine: Chapter 3, she is revealed to be sweet and happy-go-lucky, as her angelic nature would imply. Sammy Lawrence referred to Alice's voice as both "heavenly and beautiful".[6]

As shown in the cartoon "Cheap Seats", she is generally upbeat and enjoys spending time with Bendy, as evident by her agreeing to go see a film, upon seeing a poster.
