**Twisted Alice** is an animated form of Susie Campbell, one of the Alice Angel caricatures in the Cycle and the secondary antagonist of the *Bendy* series.

She appear in *Bendy and the Ink Machine* as the main antagonist of *Chapter 3: Rise and Fall* and *Chapter 4: Colossal Wonders*, and as the hidden main antagonist in *Boris and the Dark Survival*. She also returns as a supporting antagonist for the final chapter of *Bendy and the Dark Revival*.

## Overview

### Physical Appearance

Twisted Alice appears to be a young woman and as a humanoid replica of Alice Angel with straight medium-length black hair, thin eyebrows, and black lipstick. She wears a semi-broken angel halo that melted into the left side of her head as well as possesses a pair of short, realistic-looking horns. She wears a black flapper dress in the 1920's style with a white bow tie resembling Bendy's. Her entire arms are coated with ink-black color to resemble sleeve-like gloves, but she does not wear white gloves like her original counterpart, Alice Angel. Unlike the original Alice, she wears a pair of black tights for her legs paired with Mary Jane shoes. She also has a sepia bow on the back of her dress that has straps, which the original Alice Angel does not appear to have.

The iris color of her right eye is the same yellow as her eyeball, and she has a beauty spot on the right side of her face along with a small mole. The left side of her face resembles melted wax, with half of her teeth exposed and an empty left eye socket with few ink-like tears. On her neck there appeared to be a slit oozing with one drip of blood-like ink.

### Personality

Twisted Alice is first shown to be somewhat friendly and manipulative. This is revealed when she makes Henry Stein do all of her biddings in exchange for letting him use the lift to escape the studio. She was sadistic, demanding Henry to kill the ink-dwelling creatures, and also threatening to kill him should he anger her. When it seemed she was going to let Henry go free, she dropped her façade and revealed herself as a very demanding, childish, and persistent monster, although she expresses this side when ordering Henry to slaughter the Butcher Gang enemies. She also had a semi-bookish, poetic speech pattern.

Twisted Alice was incredibly vain and obsessed with her beauty and perfection, and would've done anything to maintain it. This is seen in the numerous dead clones of Boris, Piper, Fisher, and Striker she had harvested, as well as her constant fear of the other ink monsters, as she fears that they will drag her back into the "dark puddles".

She was shown to have a seething hatred for The Ink Demon, as well as some form of rivalry towards the Ink Demon, as she would not let him touch her again after she had turned from a shapeless blob to a nearly human-shaped figure. Additionally, she also warns Henry to hide from The Ink Demon whenever he appears close by.

Twisted Alice's voice seems evil and changes constantly. At all times, she will have an additional voice for her own voice sounding low in pitch. Sometimes and briefly, her voice can change closely resembling the original Alice Angel's own voice.

### Damage

Instant death

 Alice has her first in-game appearance after being added in *The Wolf Trials* update under the name '' Milla Legna '' a distraught woman from Eastern Europe, who somehow found herself trapped within the walls of Joey Drew Studios. Throughout the game, Buddy Boris can find her tapes in various corpses of failed clones of Boris the Wolf. After Buddy Boris collects all the recordings of Milla he should find the key to open the door leading to the room Milla was trapped in.

Once collecting all of Milla's tapes and her key, Buddy Boris can enter a door, revealing her to be a pseudonym made up by Alice to lure Buddy Boris to his doom. An ending cutscene now plays and Alice is now hunting for Buddy Boris. This is meant to emphasize that Buddy Boris managed to escape her wrath, as indicated by the ending. After the ending, the player is suddenly greeted by another level, which, unlike the other levels, is of indeterminate location, and has a fixed layout. Twisted Alice's presence in the area itself is indicated by her sinister cackling. After completing the level, Twisted Alice will occasionally appear in the standard randomly-generated levels.

Unlike the other monsters that hunt Buddy Boris, Twisted Alice simply meanders, as opposed to running, unless provoked. When visible, a white halo is visible around her feet, similarly to The Ink Demon's shadowy masses. Her equivalent of the ominous heartbeat noises that emanate from The Ink Demon's shadowy masses is her humming of Lonely Angel. If she finds Buddy Boris within her line of sight, she will yell out a loud, defiant screech and charge after him, flailing her arms about as she does so. Should Buddy Boris hide in a Little Miracle Station and Twisted Alice is visibly close, it is possible to see her stamp on the ground with her foot childishly, emphasizing that she is frustrated. Every time Buddy Boris hides from Twisted Alice, she will mutter to herself, either gloating that he would eventually come out of hiding, or in the case of some other quotes, venting her frustration.

### *Bendy and the Ink Machine*

#### *Chapter 3: Rise and Fall*

Twisted Alice's humming is first heard briefly from the Heavenly Toys room during Henry's first visit, which occurs after the "Former Glory" music ends.

In Alice's toy room, she makes her first appearance where she suddenly appears inside the center booth room while the "I'm Alice Angel" song is about to end, screaming "*I'M ALICE ANGEL!*" in a fit of frustration while banging on the window and then breaking it before disappearing. Just before the lights go back on, Twisted Alice's voice is heard, saying that she is aware of Henry's arrival and beckons him to come along further.

Twisted Alice's voice is once again heard when Henry enters the elevator of Level K with Buddy Boris, talking through a speaker. She considers Henry as being so "interesting" and "different" and then demands him to visit Level 9.

In the flooded area of Twisted Alice's lair, Henry and Buddy Boris encounter deceased clones of Boris, Piper, Fisher, and Striker. Twisted Alice, using the speaker, says their deaths were necessary to make her beautiful and that anything that wasn't perfect was left behind.

From the last room at the end of Level 9 Henry enters, she is seen using the machine pad to torture Piper. After noticing Henry's arrival, she ends with torturing Piper and contemplates killing Henry. She tells Henry about what it would be like living in the "dark puddles", describing it as a "buzzing, screaming well of voices". Then she talks about her creation where she first started out as a "wriggling, pushing, shapeless slug" created from the overflow of ink. She says that she was born again, but this time it "made her an angel" and that she wouldn't let The Demon touch her again as she is so close to her perfect form. Eventually, she determines Henry to be of use, and promises to send him back up, but only if he completes certain tasks. Afterward, she closes the entire window with two gates and continues to torture Piper, possibly killing him.

Twisted Alice's tasks include collecting special gears on Level K, collecting extra-thick ink from the Swollen Searchers on Level 11, collecting valve cores on Level P, destroying Bendy cutouts (for the purpose of angering The Ink Demon), defending her room from the Butcher Gang, and collecting hearts from Level 14. While Henry is embarking on these tasks, Twisted Alice will speak of The Ink Demon and advise Henry on hiding.

Once all of her tasks are completed, Twisted Alice will allow Henry to go back onto the elevator with Buddy Boris, but as they are ascending she begins to laugh maniacally. She will then plunge the elevator toward Level S, reveal her true knowledge of Henry's intentions, and accuse him of stealing from her. Twisted Alice then demands that he gives Buddy Boris to her or else she would take him for herself after killing Henry, as Buddy Boris' insides are needed for her to be beautiful again.

After the elevator crashes, Twisted Alice, who is heard humming, will sneak up on Buddy Boris, who is tending to Henry. Soon after when everything goes dark, she seems to disappear once she is close enough to get behind Buddy Boris, along with kidnapping him by force, leaving Henry unconscious in the wreckage.

#### *Chapter 4: Colossal Wonders*

Twisted Alice reveals to have transformed Buddy Boris into a hulking beast known as Brute Boris. At the end of the fight, she loses her cool after Henry finished Brute Boris off. Infuriated, she lunges at Henry. Although she is stopped in her tracks when Allison Angel impales Twisted Alice with a sword, killing her.

### **Bendy and the Dark Revival**

*Chapter 4: Factory of Horrors*
If the player opens the gate cover for subject 928, the message "Are you worthy to walk with angels?" is written on the floor directed at the player, assuming Alice escaped from the Cyclebreaker prison.

*Chapter 5: The Dark Revival*

## Trivia

* Twisted Alice was first developed by the team when making the third chapter for *Bendy and the Ink Machine*. Her original concept art wears an apron with a stained ink splat. It was displayed in *Bendy and the Ink Machine*'s archives chapter.
* The song Twisted Alice usually hums is the first part of the track Lonely Angel / I'll Be Your Angel.
* Alice's disfigured face has a resemblance to the DC comics villain Two-Face, in that both have a face that is intact on one side but horribly disfigured on the other side.
* In *Bendy and the Ink Machine*, Twisted Alice might have an uncanny ability to see everything that is happening around the studio, without any cameras or sensors. The events that it was confirmed that she knew include:
	+ Whenever Henry completes his tasks.
	+ The Butcher Gang attempting to invade Level 9.
	+ The Projectionist wandering through the Ink Abyss.
	+ Knowing that Boris is with Henry.
	+ Henry ascending up the stairwell the Ink Machine was briefly seen in.
	+ Henry playing the "test your strength" game.
	+ Henry entering the Haunted House.
* However, she isn't always aware of where that same Boris hides when she chases after him nor shows that she uses a speaker to get a connection with Henry and if she possesses this ability she wouldn't be surprised by Allison's attack.
* In both games, Alice meets her demise at the hands of Allison, although she was able to get a glimpse of her before dying in the second game.
* In *Bendy and the Ink Machine: Chapter 3*, a part of Alice's dialogue from the elevator is almost exactly that of Joey's letter about Susie's replacement as Alice.
* In *Bendy and the Ink Machine: Chapter 3*, Twisted Alice's laughter was heard after her jumpscare in Alice's room, her jumpscare actually does end up laughing once she shatters the booth window. Although this last part of her animation is not completely visible due to the room's thick darkness that suddenly occurs. It still can be clearly seen only when using the animation program engine.
* On Twitter, Mike Mood shared a link to the SoundCloud audio of the "original" version for one of Twisted Alice's dialogue where she brings Henry and Buddy Boris to Level 9, tested by Mike himself.
* Twisted Alice is heard asking "*Did you lose something?*" from the beginning of the *Bendy and the Ink Machine: Chapter 4* reveal trailer.
* In *Bendy and the Ink Machine: Chapter 4*, her death animation file is called ***Anim\_Alice\_Z\_Final***. Files starting with ***Anim\_AliceA\_*** are the animation files of Allison. The meaning of the Z in Alice's death file name is unknown. Every other animation file for Alice starts with a ***CH3\_alice\_***.
* In *Bendy and the Ink Machine: Chapter 5*, Twisted Alice's voice can be heard twice in the Lonely Angel/I'll be your Angel song played on the radio, specifically:
	+ "I'd not be by myself..."
	+ "And fly straight into your heart..." (the second time)
* At the *Bendy and the Ink Machine* epilogue, drawings of Twisted Alice can be seen in Joey's sketches found in his apartment. Twisted Alice's sketch scenes include her fighting off the ink creatures with the aid of Allison Angel, her transforming into an unrevealed demonic form, her "cartoony" version preparing to operate the already-deceased smiling Boris corpse, sitting on The Ink Demon's throne, and riding in the cart of the Haunted House with Buddy Boris or Tom.
* In *Boris and the Dark Survival*, her walking animation was taken directly from the tail end of *Bendy and the Ink Machine: Chapter 3*, while her chase animation was also taken directly from the ending of *Bendy and the Ink Machine: Chapter 4*. She does have a new original animation when she sees Boris in-front of her.
* One of her voice lines in *Boris and the Dark Revival* is an ironic reference to the Brothers Grimm fairy tale *The Three Little Pigs*.
* The idea of Twisted Alice using a pseudonym in *Boris and the Dark Survival* appears to have been inspired by the character of Frank Fontaine, from the 2007 video game *BioShock*, in that both use seemingly friendly pseudonyms with foreign accents, but are in fact proverbial deceitful on the inside.
	+ Adding credit to this, a reference to Frank Fontaine is also made in *Bendy and the Ink Machine: Chapter 5*, on the appointment board in the Administration Lobby.
	+ It is unknown if she was lying or not about her father's butcher shop. She, as Milla, mentions bodies twisted and pulled apart. It is unknown if this means that her urge to take apart Boris Clones is something she inherited from her father.
