**Alice Gehabich** (アリス・ゲーハビッチ, *Arisu Gēhabitchi***?**) is a character in the anime *Bakugan Battle Brawlers* and the strategist for the Battle Brawlers. She lives in Moscow, Russia with her grandfather Dr. Michael Gehabich.

## Biography

### Bakugan Battle Brawlers

Alice was born and raised in Moscow, Russia, and lived alone in a small house until her grandfather, Michael Gehabich, came for her. She went back to living there when he disappeared, and lived with her aunt and uncle while hiding from the Brawlers. It is presumed her parents have died sometime prior to the beginning of the series, so she was homeschooled by her grandfather since there are no school accessible near her house. She is closest to Runo Misaki and frequently worries about Dan Kuso, Grey Ikenami and Shun Kazami.

## Trivia

* In the original series, an Intermission Screen would often show a brawler and their Guardian Bakugan. Because Alice didn't have a Bakugan of her own, it showed her along with a rabbit holding a pocket watch as a reference to *Alice in Wonderland*. This changed once she acquired Hydranoid.
	+ She is also one of the few characters to have its attribute wheel glow on her Intermission Screen, the other being Joe Brown and Mag Mel.
	+ Alice is the only minor character in *New Vestroia* to have an Intermission Screen.
* Alice is the youngest out of the twelve original brawlers by Dan, Naru, Mikan, Lina, Julie, Runo and Wynton.
* Alice is one of the only five female characters to have Darkus as their main attribute. The others are Brenda, Anya, Taylor and Chris.
* Alice and Ace Grit have the same initials (AG) and they are both Darkus Brawlers.
* Alice and Grey Ikenami are both Darkus Brawlers.
* Despite being born and raised in Russia, Alice is not given a Russian accent in the English dub. In the Japanese version, she speaks Japanese fluently, compared to Julie Makimoto who is still learning Japanese.
* Alice and Mira Fermin both are red-headed and constantly worry about an older family member who has turned evil.
* Alice is the only main character who has never been to Bakugan Interspace.
* Alice is the only original Brawler not to physically reappear after the events of Bakugan: New Vestroia. Her final physical appearance and speaking role is in All for One. She along with Marucho and Wynton help Michael in searching where Spectra went off.
* Alice is similar to Alisa Bosconovitch, a character in *Tekken*.
	+ Both have family relations to a scientist.
	+ Both are Russian.
	+ Both are friends with Japanese school girl who have a crush on the main hero (Runo and Xiaoyu).
	+ Alisa's name is also Russian/Hebrew for "Alice".

* Alice has the Russian name "Элис (Elis)", similar to the name "Элиас (Elias)" (e.g. as the female, a Fairy of Water's name, the name "Elias", from *Panel De Pon*.), unlike "Алиса (Alisa)", the Russian and/or Hebrew name for as almost all Alices as generally all Alisas.
	+ Her Russian name is "Элис Гехабит (Elis Gekhabit)".

* Alice has a great physical resemblance to Kōko Kaga from "Golden Time".
* Alice's main attribute Darkus does not look fitting for her, as it does not contain colors for the attribute, but this is changed in Season 3, in which her color in her clothing now matches her attribute.
* The illusionary version of Alice brawls differently than how Alice actually battles. The illusionary version battles seriously and is confident in her abilities, while the real Alice is nervous when brawling, and overall reserved when playing Bakugan. In Season 3, she now has the confidence of the illusionary Alice, yet she's still reserved for playing Bakugan.
