Personality

Prone to fits of insane monologues that make little sense when closely examined, the Mad Hatter remains a lanky figure wrapped in a web of contradictions of both his morals and personality.

Born long enough ago to be considered one of the eldest inhabitants of Wonderland, yet no where near old enough to compare with the Cheshire Cat herself, the Mad Hatter's life truly remains a blur, ever since his once-friend Time forsook him. After a certain argument concerning the Hatter almost murdering his friend while singing a particular song to the Queen of Hearts, he has remained in a state of physical immortality, even while his mind continues to deteriorate into madness. There are a number of rumors surrounding his eccentric figure, the most popular one stating that his name originates from a certain incident involving a rose, a gun, and the abrupt end to a beautiful melody...
