## Biography

In the past, Alice's parents were killed by monsters during a pilgrimage according to the Church of Martel's Teachings. She spent her childhood at an orphanage in Hima, where she was bullied due to her being a half-elf. She made a pact with a demon, giving her control over monsters in exchange for finding the "Forbidden Tome of Demon Lords". Though the book was destroyed, she used the monster's remains to save Decus from punishment at the orphanage. Afterwards, she devoted herself into "changing the world" by becoming a vital member of the Vanguard.

In Asgard, she first met Emil and his group while hunting down for Colette Brunel. She beated Hawk with her rapier after he spoke back to her and went to the mayor's house. When Marta attempts to save a boy after a strong wind, Alice sent Hawk to attack them. After the monsters were defeated, Alice fled the village. She tried to pursue Emil and Marta in Hakonesia Peak and Palmacosta, but was (briefly) prevented by Richter Abend. When Emil and Marta started to head back to Luin, they overheard Alice and Richter talking about getting the Cruxis Crystals from Zelos and Colette.

In the Dynasty Ruins, she herself and her monsters fought Emil's group, but was defeated. After the battle, one of her monsters "Porthos" came back to her senses and tried to kill her, but was rescued by Zelos (only cause he likes girls). In Meltokio, Alice set off a golum bomb and attached it to Emil. Tenebrae sacrificed himself to save Emil and that resulted him into turning back into a core and being relocated into ine Temple of Darkness. Shortly afterwards, when Decus kidnapped Seles Wilder, Alice was seen torturing her in the Cape Fortress.

Alice, Brute, and the Vanguard took control of Altamira and threatened to blow up the city with bombs unless the party would surrender Marta. While they got rid of the detonator and turning the power of, Alice tried to prevent the citizens from escaping, but Presea intervened and helped them escape. During the infiltration, she tricked Emil and Marta into thinking that Decus went insane from the use of Solum's Core. She sent Marta through a trap door, which led straight to her father. After Brute came back to his senses, Alice and Decus escaped.

Alice and Decus had their final battle with Emil and Marta in the Ginnungagap. Alice pretended to be in a weak state in order to kill Marta. Emil tried to stop her, but Decus protected Alice and took a fatal blow. After Decus died, Alice realized that she loved Decus too and attempted to kill Emil for good, but was killed by Marta instead.

“ Commander Brute gave it back to Decus after he fought you. Please, help him! „ ~ Lady Alice

“ Martmart, please! If you help Decus, I'll take you right to Commander Brute, I swear! „ ~ Lady Alice

“ He hasn't been a very happy boy ever since Commander Brute took Solum's core from him. „ ~ Lady Alice

If the world wants to give me misfortune, I'll just give misfortune back to the world. That's all. „ ~ Lady Alice

“ I'm not saying it's a bad thing. I don't mind hypocrites at all. And hypocrites or not, only those with power have the luxury of being kind to others. But I'm sure you knew that. You and your friends are hypocrites with power, Colettie. I like people who can do things on their own. Don't you, Ms. Can't-do-anything-by-herself? „ ~ Lady Alice

“ I will change the world around me. And the only way to change your world is to do it yourself. I don't care about world peace of the fighting between Sylvarant and Tethe'alla. I live for myself. Well, ta-ta for now! See you at the Ginnungagap. „ ~ Lady Alice telling the party to meet her at Ginnungagap.

“ Who said anything about me being controlled? The Commander and Dumbo-Decus perhaps, but I always knew exactly what I was doing. „ ~ Lady Alice asked about being controlled.

“ I was perfectly sane, when I fought you. Because, after all Martmart, I totally despise you. „ ~ Lady Alice

“ You're just so annoying. You're powerless, and yet you always have to interfere. (Parroting Marta) "Stop it, daddy!" "Please help me, Ratatosk!" Phooey! You can't solve anything by yourself. You're so pathetic it makes me sick. „ ~ Lady Alice staing that Marta is futile without solving anything right.

“ I hate hypocrites like you. I couldn't wait to rub your cute little nose in the sad truth of what you really are. I knew if I stayed close to Richter, you'd come to me eventually. „ ~ Lady Alice is very jealous of Marta.

“ I'm going to gain unyielding power! That's what's needed to survive this world. If Richter calls upon demons, I'll use them as well. The world will answer to me and only to me. So, to complete my deal with Richter, I need you to die. „ ~ Lady Alice

“ Why is it wrong if the world is turned into the demonic realm? No matter what the world turns into, I will survive and persevere with my own powers. „ ~ Lady Alice

“ Hah! As if you would know what having power entails! You're nothing but a powerless spoiled brat! „ ~ Lady Alice to Marta.

“ Don't be ridiculous! I'm not gonna lose to anyone! Not to you, OR to demons! I will best anyone that mistreats us with my OWN powers! „ ~ Lady Alice

“ I never thought that... that you'd actually do it. Agh... Who would have known that you'd be the one to kill me. „ ~ Lady Alice after being defeated by Marta's buzzsaw spinning.
