Reasons for Joining the Grove: Alice was brought into the Grove as a child by her father, who was looking for somewhere a little less hustle and bustle for his sickly daughter to thrive. It worked, and Alice was able to grow into adulthood until eventually meeting her fate.
History: Alice was pretty much the opposite of A.B.A personality-wise. Despite it all, she was very happy and friendly, able to do amazing things such as socialize and not scare people off. She also looked much more like A.B.A's earlier appearance, having striking red hair in a shorter cut. People may have a hard time recognizing her in old photos right away, but if you look close enough, they definitely have the same face.
Like mentioned before, Alice was brought into the Grove by her father, who was already interested in going anyway to help its development. He was a man of science and offered to help on the technical front, but also wanted to use this opportunity to study the forest. Her parents separated for reasons unrelated, all that's known is that Alice's mother did not join them.
As Alice grew, she became much more optimistic of her future. She was old enough to get married! She might be able to get a home of her very own! She might make it to old age! Sure, she was weak, some days were spent bedridden inside, but she had no reason to believe her life was going to be cut short. (haha whoops)
Speaking of being inside, though, Alice's father desperately wished she would stay inside more often. It was not uncommon for her to sneak out and explore the Grove. Much like A.B.A, she had a strong sense of curiosity and hated to be contained. Having a bubbly Alice come up to you and see if you needed any help was just a part of life. She wanted to be useful, although some people may have found her bothersome.
The person who would've found her the most bothersome would be the Grove's version of Paracelsus. Did you know Paracelsus has a canon human form, even though it's from a noncanon ending? There you go, there's what he looked like. That's the love of her life. Anyway, a lot of Alice's outside time was used following him around like a lovesick puppy. Since Paracelsus's real name is Flament Nagel, past Paracelsus's name was probably something stupid like Nigel. Much like Paracelsus, Nigel was very tsun about Alice's advances. He acted annoyed, and a lot of times he was, but deep down he liked the attention. He was a scary looking guy, after all. Quiet, shy, people didn't come up to him as much.
Part of what made him so scary was his love for the occult. But unlike someone cool who might join an actual cult, Nigel was just a dork who was interested in demons and monsters, he never stuck his toes into the real deal. Instead, he and Alice would run off to his little hideout in the woods where he would show her his diagrams, skull masks (goat skull in honor of Paracelsus's Moroha mode), and talk about his demonsona. All while Alice stared at him with hearts in her eyes. She thought it was cute when he got excited about the things he liked, since he's normally such a quiet guy. There was no doubt in her mind that she was going to marry this man someday.
But it never happened. As well as she was doing, there was no way someone as weak as Alice was getting out of that fire. It's very likely she was an easy victim and didn't get much father than her bedroom door. If anyone tried to get her out of there, it was probably her not-lover, and they died together tragically. Alice died cursing her weakness, wishing she was stronger.
Role: Man, great question. As much as I love to blab about what she did, I really can't think of anything that would make her important. I'm okay with her just being a background character if it comes to it, but if anyone has any ideas, I'm so open. I'd love to have her at least stumble on something.
Looking for: Anything and everything! So far, the only connection she has is with PV and Lily, which I adore. I'd love to know if she had more friends, annoyed anyone, some other third thing.
Wants and Wishes: If I can work dragons into this somehow, I will. Don't test me.
