Alice Gehabich

**Alice Gehabich** is one of the main characters from the *Bakugan Battle Brawlers* anime.

Alice owns a bakugan named Hydranoid, and her attribute is Darkus (dark type). She is vital to the team, and as the oldest, she has a deep knowledge of battle techniques. She is also the granddaughter of the man that had a part in the near-destruction of the Bakugan world

In the AWA fics, Alice is a student at the AWA Academy and is part of Class 15.

In the XP4 fics, Alice debuted in the XP4 Heroes Coalition - AKB0048.

## **Appearance**

Alice's attire in *Bakugan Battle Brawlers* is a yellow dress with white shorts, a green blouse, and small boots colored white and green. Her hair is ginger orange and she has hazel eyes. As a natural beauty, she frequently attracts the attention of boys.

In *New Vestroia*, she wears a long sleeved lavender blouse, yellow skirt, and white boots.

## **Personality**

Alice is a very polite, kind and sweet girl who can often be found doing errands for others and rarely chooses to not to bother others with her problems unless they ask her or if it is of the utmost importance to the task at hand for them. She and Shun Kazami are seen as the most of mature in the group. She hates causing trouble for her friends and also dislikes it when there is conflict between them, because she wants the group to stay together.

She is shown to be intuitive to others' emotions, such as being able to sense Shun was lying when he claimed nothing was wrong and insisted that he tell them the truth. In spite of that, she can be quite gullible and overly-trusting of others, as shown when she was tricked by Lync Volan. Despite his trickery, however, Alice still cares for Lync as she realized Lync lost and presumably died outside of her house.

Even after gaining the confidence to brawl, she still struggles with her past history and in both of her losses these feelings somehow contributed to the battle. It is shown that she had grown a little more confident after her battle with Shadow Prove.

Though she has a distaste for violence, she makes an exception for those who threaten her friends and family.

## **Abilities**

Despite having a thorough grasp of the game's rules, she has always been afraid to play Bakugan. It perhaps stems from her lack of self-confidence and a fear of losing, which sometimes makes her feel useless. She also refrains from battling because she dislikes violence. To compensate, Alice gives advice and strategies to the other members of the group, as she is pretty good at knowing which abilities and Bakugan to use at a certain time. While some find this to be a nuisance, her advice has actually helped the Brawlers a great deal.

### **XP4 Fics**

Alice has an unspecified ability to use chemicals with various effects as weapons.

## **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 oldest out of the six original brawlers by 1–3 years.
* Alice is one of the only three female characters to have Darkus as their main attribute. The others are Taylor and Chris.
* Alice and Ace Grit have the same initials (AG) and they 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 Vestoria.
* 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 a great physical resemblance to Kokō 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 2, 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 2, she now has the confidence of the illusionary Alice, yet she's still reserved for playing Bakugan.
