## In-game details

### In-game quote

"Freedom is not allowed in Wonderland. That's why they call me a 'betrayal'."

### In-game description

A man who suddenly appears in front of you is Gilbert Rance, the Griffon. He is a sincere and honest man, but he is on the wanted list in Wonderland because he has obtained freedom.

## **Appearance**

Gilbert has short silver hair combed towards the left which exposes his forehead, and has bluish grey eyes. He has long brown wings which have soft feathers, and can be kept using magic despite his clothes having no holes for his wings to come through.

He wears a reddish brown robe having long white sleeves and gold designs, and wears silver arm guards on both his arms which cover from the wrist to the elbow. His dark brown belt on his waist has silver plates attached to it on either sides, and he wears black pants.

## **Personality**

Gilbert is a polite, open, honest, and meek person who is also bold and daring enough to get his role voided despite it's dire consequences, but is somewhat submissive when it comes to Darius since he's indebted to him. But he can't stand it even if someone intimidating like Darius insults others, and demands them to apologize to the other party. He can't control his emotions well, and he often gets emotional which results in his tucked wings popping out and knocking out nearby things, thereby resulting in a mess.

He often blushes when he's embarrassed, and is easy to read since he makes his emotions obvious unintentionally. He's an honorable knight who is acknowledged by the Chess King Owen himself as shown when he leaves the battle with him mid-way to rescue 'Alice', thereby earning Owen's respect. He loves flying in the sky, and is full of life when he swiftly flies through the clouds. He becomes somewhat shy when he's embarrassed, but is always gentle and kind. He dislikes tucking his wings, but does so on Darius' order since Darius gets annoyed every time his wings knock out things or shed feathers which makes the floor a mess.

## **History**

Gilbert was given the role of 'Griffon' whose purpose was to take 'Alice' wherever she wanted to go. But he was fed up with his role since it was forcibly given to him by the Spinner of Tales. So he joined hands with Darius and Allen in order to break free from it's clutches, and together they obtained freedom from their roles by abandoning their roles. Thereby they broke the Rules of Wonderland and incurred the Spinner of Tales' wrath who now wants to erase their existence because of this. Hence, Gilbert along with Darius and Allen were in the wanted list, and they had to hide their location which is the hidden manor.

## **Abilities**

Gilbert uses magic and recites a prayer to conjure a sword having two pairs of illuminated white wings protruding near it's handle. When he attacks with magic, a blue light surrounds him and luminous white feathers with a blue glow float around him. Even his wings are made of magic, and hence his clothes have no chance of shredding even though there are no holes on his clothes for his wings.

He seems to have immense physical strength since he's able to effortlessly carry and fly with a person for a long time without getting tired. This may be due to the fact that he is the person allotted to carry 'Alice' whenever and wherever she wishes to go. He is also able to effortlessly deflect the magical attacks in the form of light rays flung at him by the Chess Soldiers with only one hand without even using magic.

He too is a powerful magician, and his sword conjured from magic is capable of deflecting even the powerful magical attacks of the Chess King, the strongest magician in Wonderland. He is agile as shown when he quickly evades the numerous attacks performed by the Chess King, and the Chess King even acknowledges his power. Airis too states that he's equally powerful as Owen, but nevertheless he gets the upper hand over Gilbert because of his wits. He is also able to detect the presence of others in his vicinity by sensing their magic.

He also uses magic to tuck his wings inside small spaces so that it won't cause trouble or be a bother to others, but he dislikes it since it requires him to focus his magic which is a bit difficult. But he also admits that it's not a bother tucking his wings although he dislikes it, and his wings tend to pop out when he gets emotional or startled which results in nearby objects being knocked off. This is because he loses his focus on his magic while getting emotional, and as a result his wings come out. Gilbert can also cast magic on a broom such that it can clean, talk, and even deliver packages correctly.

He can also use spells to create a shining cage made of light which can stay still in mid-air even with a person inside it, and the cage protects the person inside it from external attacks and even a drop of rain won't fall on that person while raining. But the cage can be broken by powerful attacks, and it would break completely even if it is only partially broken. He can also correctly predict when it'll rain by feeling the humidity in air or when the sky 'tells' him since he can sense the changes in the sky. He can also make clouds solid to sit on using magic and watch the view from the sky.

## **Relationships**

1. **Darius Rosenberg-** Gilbert calls him as his friend, but is rather submissive towards since he's indebted towards him. Because of his debt and gratitude towards Darius, he does avoid making him angry, but arguments are inevitable because of their clashing personalities. Heated arguments are very common between them, and they don't care even if they are doing it in front of a guest. Nevertheless, he obeys every order given by Darius whether he likes it or not like tucking his wings despite his dislike, and often gets scolded for being a picky eater.

## **Trivia**

* He likes to fly through thin clouds.
* He's a picky eater who absolutely hates peas.
