American McGee Alice

**Alice Liddell** is the youngest daughter of Arthur Liddell and Mrs. Liddell, and the younger sister of Lizzie Liddell. Alice is the sole survivor of a The Fire that killed her family and caused her immense trauma when she was a child, affecting her reality, as well as her imaginary world, Wonderland, and its citizens.

As Alice struggled with the fragments of her Memories, post-traumatic stress disorder, and deteriorating mental health after a ten-year catatonic state in Rutledge Asylum, she returned to Wonderland to save it from the Queen of Hearts, killing the monsters inside her head.

Alice regained enough sanity to leave Rutledge and Pris Witless helped Alice to get a room at the Houndsditch Home for Wayward Youth. Her psychiatrist and head of Houndsditch, Angus Bumby, helped Alice forget her traumatic memories using hypnotherapy. Unfortunately, Alice still suffered from poor mental health and returned to Wonderland to find the true cause of her family's death. After discovering that Bumby was the mastermind behind her family's death who also raped and molested Lizzie, she murdered him to avenge her family. With her reality fused with Wonderland, Cheshire Cat remarked that her memory was safe for the time being.

After leaving Houndsditch, Alice found a job at the London Royal Opera House as a theater worker. She also gained the ability to peer into the minds of others and explore their Otherlands.

## Biography

### Childhood

Alice Liddell was born in England in 1856. She spent most of her childhood in Oxford in the south of England. She lived a comfortable, happy life with her father Arthur, a dean at Oxford University, her mother, and her older sister Elizabeth. Her sister, though loving, was too old to be a good playmate to Alice.

The family owned a cat, Dinah, and two of her kittens later on. Alice was an imaginative and creative girl, immersed in her imaginary land called Wonderland. Her daydreams of her imaginary world led Nan Sharpe, a nanny who also taught Alice and her sister French and music, to have conversations with Mrs. Liddell about it.At one point, Nan told Alice that if she spent as much time as practicing the piano instead of daydreaming, she would be the next Sullivan or Gilbert. Mrs. Liddell also had Alice practice the piano frequently.

Being a dean at the Oxford University, Arthur would often invite his undergraduates to tea at the Liddell house. Due to their constant appearances and mannerisms, Lizzie expressed her disgust of them to Alice, saying that "they were waiting a word from their father" and called them a "bunch of toadies".

### *Alice's Adventures in Wonderland*

Alice sat on a riverbank on a warm summer day, drowsily reading over her sister's shoulder, when she caught sight of a White Rabbit in a waistcoat running by her. The White Rabbit pulled out a pocket watch, exclaimed that he was late, and popped down a rabbit hole. Alice followed the White Rabbit down the hole and came upon a great hallway lined with doors. She found a small door that she opened using a key she discovered on a nearby table. Through the door, she saw a beautiful garden, and Alice began to cry when she realized she cannot fit through the door. She found a bottle marked "Drink Me potion" and downed the contents. She shrunk down to the right size to enter the door but cannot enter since she had left the key on the tabletop above her head.

Alice discovered a cake marked "Eat Me cake" which caused her to grow to an inordinately large height. Still unable to enter the garden, Alice began to cry again, and her giant tears formed a pool at her feet. As she cried, Alice shrunk and fell into the pool of tears. The pool of tears became a sea, and as she trod water she met a Mouse. The Mouse accompanied Alice to shore, where a number of animals gathered on a bank. After a "Caucus Race," Alice scared the animals away with tales of her cat, Dinah, and found herself alone again.

Alice met the White Rabbit again, who mistook her for a servant and sent her off to fetch his things. While in the White Rabbit's house, Alice drank an unmarked bottle of liquid and grew to the size of the room. The White Rabbit returned to his house, fuming at the now-giant Alice, but she swatted him and his servants away with her giant hand. The animals outside tried to get her out of the house by throwing rocks at her, which inexplicably transformed into cakes when they landed in the house.
