Alice Liddell

Alice is a Mondasian with strong connections to Wonderworld.

## **Universe 1**

Alice was born into the rich Liddell family living in their own mansion estate. The Liddell family had many staff working under them in the mansion.

### **Alice in Wonderworld**

At the age of 7, Alice ran away from her cushy home life and into London because she feared her family's staff were only nice to her face. In the town square, she spotted a Tim and, drawn by her curiosity, followed it into the Balan Theater. Balan put on a show for her, noticed she was unhappy, and whisked her away into Wonderworld. In Wonderworld, Alice was tasked with helping all the other inhabitants find their "hearts," making friends with them and helping them through their struggles. Throughout her journey, Alice encountered the many twisted representations of each inhabitants' fears that Wonderworld manifested around them, and an invading force in Wonderworld--the Negati and Lance.

In the end, all her new friends supported her in defeating the invading Negati and taking on Lance. Then, each inhabitant was returned to their lives on Mondas. Alice returned to her family's mansion and discovered that her fears were unfounded. The maids weren't talking behind her back because they didn't like her; they were actually planning a surprise party! They all enjoyed the party together and welcomed Alice back into their lives.

### **Fire**

The night after Alice's party, the manor caught fire. Alice slept through it, and it spread throughout the mansion until her parents' wails woke her up. Alice escaped, but her parents were trapped as Liddell Manor burned to the ground. Alice's older sister Lizzie burned in her sleep. Alice blamed herself for all their deaths.

### **Rutledge Asylum**

After the fire, Alice was hospitalized and later institutionalized inside Rutledge Asylum, where she underwent rigorous mental probing and isolation torture. The trauma she suffered compounded instead of improving for 11 years, when she was released after reaching maturity at age 18.

### **Alice in Wonderland**

When she was released from the asylum, Alice--now without a home--returned to Wonderworld, this time arriving in her own twisted region: Wonderland. Now ruled by the Red Queen, Wonderworld was not like before. Twisted by her childhood trauma and time at the asylum, Wonderland had become a dark, cynical, gory place. Manifestations of her altered, partial memories being there as a child now populated the land.

Costumes Alice once wore and people she once met manifested as characters in Wonderland. Jumping Jack became Rabbit, Cass Milligan became Cheshire, Key Mouse became Dormouse, Quad Cannon became the Chess Kingdoms, and so on and so on. Perhaps the greatest tragedy was Balan who, unlike the inhabitants who had left Wonderworld long ago, still lived inside Wonderworld and was contorted into the Hatter by Alice's psyche. He became obsessed with machinery, turning Wonderland's creatures into cyborgs.

With the help of Cheshire and Rabbit, Alice travelled through the warped landscapes of her Wonderland and challenged the Red Queen. There it was revealed that the Red Queen, much like the twisted monsters inhabitants had become 11 years ago, was actually Alice--the monstrous version of herself fueled by her survivor's guilt. Alice faced her fears head-on and finally stopped blaming herself for her parents' deaths, regaining her "heart" once again, and Wonderland transformed back into a much brighter place. Alice then again returned to Mondas.

### **Return to Wonderland**

After a year of therapy and living at an orphanage, Alice still hasn't fully recovered from her childhood trauma. She escapes again to Wonderland, where she travels back and forth between there and Mondas as she processes her past. Things once again have changed to reflect her psyche. Alice's Wonderland is a brighter place than the first time she entered, but her persistent trauma has started to corrupt it again.

This time, no one seems to know what's wrong or why Alice has returned. She goes looking for answers until the Infernal Train--a contorted memory of the train from her childhood visit to Wonderworld--is set in motion and threatens to destroy Wonderworld.
