Strengths:
Clever~ Highly analytical and curious about almost every little thing that exists, Alice is highly intelligent and can work her way past most problems and traps.

Weaknesses:
Curiosity~ There is such a thing as too much curiosity with Alice Kingsleigh. Sometimes, it can lead her to trouble or make others find her annoying.
Emotions~ Although she's calmed down some since she was younger, sometimes her emotions can get the best of her, and may cause mayhem. (After all, she did cry a river of tears once...)

Losing sight of who she is | Being trapped for eternity | Drowning | Being mind-controlled | Losing a limb | Decapitation (off with her head) |
Memory:
"Sorry if this sounds weird, I'm just going to spit out what I recall...'Off with her head!'. Then there was a courtroom with bright red walls. Like, the kind of red that hurts your eyes. It was a trial. There was a pompous-looking lady sitting up front, and then a charismatic man with a large hat appeared. There were two rabbits, one being completely bonkers, and the other with a pocket watch. Last but not least, a smiling cat appeared. And then I remember running. Lots and lots of running..."
Opinion on the War:
"A war? What war?...Oh...THAT war..."
Alice does not have an exact opinion on the war. When her father used to talk about the fighting nonstop, she'd often times escape into Wonderland to prevent herself from thinking about it. She wants to get involved in the war somehow, (or at least have some sort of opinion on it) but she just can't decipher which side she's on. For now, she considers herself neutral. Besides, all she really wants is peace.
Personality:
Imaginative | Ambitious | Polite | Curious | Adventurous | Stubborn | Nosy | Charming | Righteous | Clever | Sensitive | Determined |
Alice's very existence is driven upon her unending curiosity. Without that, the rest of her personality traits wouldn't seem to go together. She has a tendency to ask many questions, (too many on some occasions,) some of which she answers with her own advice. An explorer by nature, Alice is all over the place. She can never stay put in one area for too long. Her mind, creative and free, will push the rest of her body to do, make, and learn more. It's just the way Alice is. While most people take this with a grain of salt, others find it to be indescribably annoying, claiming her to be a blatantly nosy girl.
Saying that, most people expect Alice to be off-the-walls and random, but she's actually quite mellow, laid-back and down-to-earth. She is a mix of introverted and extroverted; not hesitating to talk to people, but also taking time to be alone by herself. She often has an heir of regality upon meeting someone for the first time, but when she gets to know someone better, (or whenever she is in Wonderland) her politeness, charm and elegance is replaced with and adventure-loving, daring and freedom-craving personality. Her detail-analyzing mind has made her clever over the years. She often sees things most people overlook. (for example, a rabbit with a pocket watch running through the bushes.) Of course, sometimes people don't believe her when she says she sees something that others don't...
Daydreamy and very much escape-oriented, she often times has her head in the clouds. This has made her exceedingly sensitive and understanding towards people and herself. She often contemplates about the lives of herself and others. However, she can get too wrapped up in senseless emotions and forget all about reality. She's not one to hold grudges, but if you anger her too much, she just might let her tongue fly loose. She has a wicked temper, and can say things many people wouldn't even think of her saying. Anyways, Alice tries her best to help others and strive to attain a truly righteous life. Some go as far as saying that she is "pure-hearted", but she doesn't quite believe it. In fact, despite all the things she does know, Alice is clueless about the positive effect she can have on other people.
History:
Alice was born on a snowy day in March to the wealthy Kingsleigh family. Her mother died and labor, and so her father had the responsibility of taking care of her. He brought the small little child back to his manor, where she grew into a delicate and inquisitive child. Even as a young girl, Alice was expected to learn how to become a lady. She spent most of her time inside, having tea parties and doing what most girls in her town did. It would be a normal life for the normal Kingsleigh daughter. Needless to say, Alice hated it.
However, despite having to learn how to be courteous and polite, its not like Alice was completely banned from going outside. There was a flower patch near a riverbank that Alice loved to spend time in. She spent hours inside the shelter of the long-stemmed flowers, daydreaming until dusk. One day, her older sister took her to that same riverbank, and while the young woman sat near the water, reading a book, the nine-year-old girl rushed over to the formation of flowers. That's when she saw a peculiar white rabbit with a waistcoat darting across the field, crying "I'm late! I'm late!". Confused, shocked, intrigued, and craving a good rabbit-chase, she pursued him. That's when she came across a large rabbit hole, and fell through it. Her adventures in Wonderland had begun.
Her adventures were marvelous. She met many odd creatures, got directions from the enigmatic Cheshire Cat, had a tea party with the Mad Hatter and March Hare (the "worst" party she had ever been to) and eventually came upon the Queen of Heart's kingdom. There, she met the red-loving queen, and played a game of croquet with her. This eventually led to Alice's trial, and the girl's struggle to get out of Wonderland before the queen could pursue her. She made it out alive, and once she crawled out of the rabbit hole, she was eager to tell the world about what had happened. She went back home and started to spit out everything that had happened to her father, but instead of being surprised, he broke down into tears and hugged her tightly, exclaiming that he was worried sick after losing her for two days.
After her initial encounter with Wonderland, Alice was slightly hesitant to go back, but eventually worked up the courage to do so. One time became two times, and soon enough, the girl was going down into Wonderland practically every day. Each and every time she'd come back, neither her sister nor her father would believe her extravagant stories. They believed she was insane, but still, they put up with her. After returning from a month in Wonderland, she came back to her house to find a surprise: her father had partnered up with a new woman, who would soon be Alice's new mother. After their initial marriage, the stepmother pushed the now adolescent young woman to start looking for a partner, and eventual husband. She refused, and in need of escape, spent much more time in Wonderland than she had ever spent before. Knowing that soon she would eventually live in the fantasy land when she came of age, Alice started to make a name for herself. She became an "explorer" and "guardian"; looking for prized artifacts and righteously protecting Wonderland's people and places from evil.
Soon enough, a man had witnessed her climb down into the rabbit hole, and after exploring the place for himself, exclaimed to the land that Wonderland was real. Alice became upset, as she knew that her secret world had been uncovered and would soon be claimed by either one of the two powerful kingdoms. In the meantime, her father and mother both argued about their own opinions on the war. Figuring that she couldn't take any more nonsense from the real world, Alice finally decided that she would never return to reality ever again. She did her usual duties in Wonderland, but Alice's personality wasn't the same. She often sat idly in the trees, daydreaming like she did as a little kid instead of actually doing something. One day, the explosion came. A mighty whirlwind, similar to a tornado, lifted up everyone and everything out of Wonderland, and shot them out of the rabbit hole like a catapult, into reality. Now, Alice finds herself lost in the woods. She has no prior knowledge of what has happened in her past life. This may change for the better, or alternatively, for the worse...
Other:
- She has a tendency to talk to herself when alone.
- She once learned to play Mozart's Sonata in C in under a week in order to impress her father and make him happy. Needless to say, it worked a little bit.
- The longest amount of time she's ever spent in Wonderland is one month. It gave her parents an awful fright when she returned home.
- She obtained her first sword and learned how to use it by dressing up as one of the Red Queen's guards and taking lessons under the Knave of Hearts as a "new recruit".
- She often wears a wooden clip that once belonged to her biological mother.
