Name: Alice Heart Kingsley
Nickname: "I'd prefer to go by Alice, thank you. It's a matter of perception- Alice shows relationship perfectly. Miss Kingsley is to formal and any and all nicknames are too close, more meant for a true relationship. Therefore, I like Alice best. Absolutely Alice, nothing more and nothing less"
Age: 21
Origin story: Alice in Wonderland
Sexuality: Bisexual
Likes: "Hmm... Well I do like a great many things. Cake, of course, Mushrooms, as they can make you grow up awful tall or awful short. Hats, or maybe that's just the hatter that I like. Do not tell him I said that, though you might not what to. Most people say he is just my imagination. Isn't true, though. He's perfectly real. Then I like dreaming, and after that is exploring. Always can find something fun to do if you try hard enough. Oh! I also just simply love to play hide-and-seek, or board games, or games of any type. It's so hard to find someone to play with though."
Dislikes: "Well most people say you should never hate anything. Though, where is the use in that? Those same people turn around and spout things about 'you can't have happiness without sadness'. It's the same concept, really. Well, to tell the truth, I hate gardens. Always have. People can get so very pent up about them. Also, I have a dislike of anyone who thinks I should 'get my head straight' (What a funny thing to say! My head is perfectly straight already!), or anyone who tells me what is right and wrong. That's like telling me my left from my right. I know it, but if I want to say my left is my right and vice versa I can, and I shouldn't be thought down on if I do. I also dislike sitting still, going to long without an adventure, and oysters. I always feel so horribly bad for them. Never can move, and then one day just taken and eaten. Sad, really. At least most other animals can move around and experience life before you eat them. But oh no, not oysters. I don't like them because sometimes I feel as if they think they are too good for movement. Also they taste bad. Also, bullies. They are just... mean!"
Powers: "Well I have no powers to my direct being- I'm only human after all! However, I do know how to create cake and juice that, if you eat the right amount of, you grow or you shrink. However, the juice is terribly hard to make and smelly, and the cake is very difficult as well, and ingredients are few and far between here. Thankfully, there a few places that allow me to keep my cabinets well lined with the stuff."
Strengths: Singing, though she would never say she is good. Finding her way around, fighting (she got awful good at in in wonderland- you need a bit of training to slay the beast she has before), cooking (Well, it does take a while to learn the correct dosages of the mushrooms and cake and such! It isn't surprising she is good at measuring and cooking things), telling stories, and thinking on her feet.
Flaws: Thinking rationally (not thinking logically, because that she is fairly okay at. She just isn't rational), covering her emotions, holding her tongue, getting to the point of a conversation (she always spirals off into other things, though there are times she will say what she means and that only, but those times are rare), decisions.
Personality: Alice is.... well... Alice. She is truly difficult to describe. She is immature, but she has 'fits of maturity', as opposed to the other way around. She is a very defiant and emotional person, always finding her own special way to go against the grain. If it can be done, she will find a way to have fun doing it. She is never lazy, in fact she detests any notion of being lazy, but she is also secretly very insecure. She doesn't believe in herself, but she does believe in others whole-heartedly. She is very smart, and can think her way out of anything, though she would never ever appear so.
Her thought possess is very logical, but hardly ever Rational. Her way of doing things is simply different- if it isn't important, it can wait, while she is doing what she wants to do. If she wanted to climb a tree, she would drop everything and do it. However, when she got there she would pause and think about the best way to do it. Most would say "Grab a branch and swing up, and just go up slowly", and that would be the logical and rational thing to do. However, she would more than likely eat a bite of mushroom to make her tall, grab onto the biggest branch, then take a bite of the other side to make her right-sized again. It's not very rational, as she could easily hurt the tree or not be able to hold on, but it is very logical.
Alice, to the outward observer, is very spunky. She has a definite spring in every step she takes and is always 'never say never' about everything. She believes anything can happen, and isn't afraid to voice that. She can appear to have mood swings for no reason, but to her it is perfectly condoned. It's a matter of who said what. It really isn't about what the person said, but who said it, because even certain words coming from some people can hurt. She has strong emotions toward everyone she meets, and her perception of people when she first meets them is hardly ever wrong. However, if anyone were to look a bit deeper, they would start to see the bad side of things. She is definitely mad, and has been for years, and that can do some damage. She is very hard to calm down if she sets her mind on something, and the people who know her well will say she sets her mind to the silliest of things, and sometimes they are dangerous. She is also very frightful, having vivid nightmares all the time and sometimes locking herself up and crying for seemingly no reason, though that is normally just her missing her wonderland, and her imagined version of it breaking slightly.
History: Alice was born in the English countryside, and even as a baby she was always a bit off. Doctors said nothing was wrong with her, but only that she had a vivid imagination. As she grew, her fairylands grew with her. She spent hours on end simply imagining what her dreamland would be like- singing flowers, a mad man, talking animals, things of the sort. Her mother was always worried, but her father said that Alice was just growing to be a colorful child. Her sister was the one who seemed the most adverse to Alice's tales, and often took her to fields to read to her. Alice detested those days. One day, though, while her sister was reading a particularly boring book and Alice was growing tired of making flower crows of the nearby daisies, she saw a large rabbit. She followed it down the rabbit hole, and discovered wonderland. She loved it there. She loved to dance among the poppies and talk with the hatter over tea. It was all so very enjoyable. However, all good things must come to and end and eventually she had to go back home. Wonderland had already marked her though, and she steadily got madder as the years went on. Her mother invested her in treatment, but her father encouraged it, telling her to believe in six impossible things before breakfast. After all, she was not really going truly mad, not in the sense she would hurt anyone at least. Her perception was just changing.
After a few years of therapy, and her father's passing (meaning she no longer believed in any impossible things), she grew back into a normal young lady. She pushed her childhood frolicking in wonderland to be nothing but a dream, and nothing worse than a nightmare sent to drive her crazy. However, she did end up going back, eventually. At that point, she had forgotten most of wonderland and while she was still an off girl, she was much more mature, even more so than her mother at times, and many people found her to be very desirable. She was at a party when the rabbit came back. He seemed vaguely familiar then, so she went after him. She fell down the rabbit hole, again, but things were oh so different then. It was not the simpleminded funland any longer. It was darker, scarier, and even the Hatter had lost some of his color, and gained a new personality to go with his other one. They wanted her to fight for them. Of course, she ended up doing just that, but it took her a while. Wonderland hadn't fit with her new maturity then. Eventually, though, the found the Wonder in Wonderland again and began to see things in a mad way again, forgetting everything about stuffy clothing and anything that didn't involve fun. She did have to slay a creature or two, but that was simply best for Wonderland, and she would do anything for Wonderland.
Though, even good things such as those must come to an end and she was sent back, after a while. The rabbit hole was closed, and she was devastated. She cried for a day straight, and even after that was over she still tried to build Wonderland back, in her mind at least. She was completely off her rocker. Her parents, or her mother at least, sent her off to Brighton in an effort to get her away from home. It hardly worked to get her mind off wonderland though, and she began to spend many days on the sea. There, she met a man whose father was in the business of trade. Alice hated him, really, as he was proper and really only wanted to be around her because of her looks. He did propose to her once, but she was both far to young and again, she hated him, so she politely declined. She did get one good thing out of it though- a job. His father thought she had just the gall he wanted to choose trading opportunities in the world and she, of course, said yes. This, of course, was about a year after she met her friend, Wendy. She was very much like her, with visions of another world not of earth. They became fast friends, and soon enough, flatmates.
Other: She has a tabby cat named Chess, in honor of Cheshire. This is, of course, much to the irritation or Ranvir.
