Alice

Alice is portrayed as being very curious. She's often seen daydreaming and gives herself advice instead of listening to the advice of others. The closest thing Alice has as a friend is Dinah, her cat, and not even she understands Alice's dreams of finding "a world of her own". Alice is well mannered, polite, courteous, somewhat mature and has the qualities of a woman much older then herself, although once she falls into Wonderland she finds it harder and harder to maintain her composure. She is shown to be determined, but her determination is often overpowered by her temper, seeing as she doesn't give up on finding the White Rabbit until she gets frustrated.

She is depicted as a fairly beautiful young girl with blue eyes, thick blonde hair and fair skin. She wears a blue knee-length dress with a white pinafore overtop, stockings, petticoat, white tights, a black ribbon to keep her hair out of her eyes, and black strap and round toe shoes in "Mary Jane" style.

When we first meet Alice, she is sitting in a tree, with her cat Dinah, making a flower band and ignoring her older sister, who is giving her a history lesson. When her sister tells how her dreams are nonsense, Alice begins to daydream about a world of her own when she suddenly sees a White Rabbit wearing a waistcoat and carrying a large watch. Ever curious, she follows him into a rabbit hole and falls down in, luckily her dress acts as a parachute and soften her fall. Once she lands she follows the rabbit into a large room. At the end of the room she sees a very small door and when she tries to open it, the doorknob suddenly yelps in pain.

The Doorknob then instructs her to drink form a bottle that reads "DRINK ME". Curious of what might happen, she drinks it and shrinks into a very small size, just the right size to enter the door. Unfortunately, the door is locked, so the Doorknob tells Alice to get the key, which is now on the table. Though is too high for her to get the key form the table, The Doorknob then tells Alice to eat form a cookie that reads "EAT ME". Out of options, she bites on it and grows so big her head hits the ceiling. The Doorknob begins to laugh at her and Alice starts to cry, flooding the room. The Doorknob then tells Alice to drink form the bottle form earlier. She does and she shrink once again, landing in the bottle and sailing through the Doorknob's keyhole. She begins to drift to land, where many strange animals are doing a rather useless race around a rock that a Dodo is standing, all to get dry. Alice then sees the white rabbit again and sneaks off to follow him.

She soon comes across Tweedledee and Tweedledum, two bouncy, twin brothers, who recite a the story of the Walrus and the Carpenter. After which Alice sneaks away once again to look for the Rabbit. She soon comes across The White Rabbit's house and is mistaken to be another girl named Mary Anne. The Rabbit tells her to go and find his gloves up in his room. Alice does so and once in his room she eats a piece of pastry that makes her grow big again, filling up the entire house. The Dodo, after the Rabbit goes for him, thinking that Alice was a monster, comes and tries to drive Alice out the house by sending Bill the Lizard down the chimney and then setting the house on fire. Alice quickly eats a carrot from the Rabbit's garden and shrinks to a very small size. Being able to leave the house, Alice chases after the Rabbit again only to end up in a Garden full of talking flowers, after singing to her, a mean flower convinces the others that she is a weed and is rudely kicked out of the garden. She sees a smoke path in the sky and decides to follow it. She soon finds the source of the smoke, A Caterpillar smoking a hookah. After a poetry recital between the two, Alice accidentally insults the Caterpillar and he turns into a butterfly. Before he flies off, the Caterpillar gives Alice some strange advice about the mushroom she is sitting on. Alice breaks off each side of the mushroom and eats one growing unbelievably tall, disturbing a very cranky mother bird. She then bites the other piece of mushroom and shrinks small again.

After getting a handle on how the mushroom works, she returns to her normal size. She then meets The Cheshire Cat, who gives her mysterious directions leading her to The March Hare's garden while he, The Mad Hatter and The Dormouse are celebrating their UnBirthday. After a wacky tea party, the Rabbit appears and madness ensues as The Hatter tries to fix his watch, that apparently is three days slow. Sick and tired of the craziness of Wonderland, Alice decides to go home and abandons her mission about the Rabbit. She becomes lost and looses hope in getting home, stopping to sit and cry. Suddenly, The Cheshire Cat reappears and shows Alice a short cut to a hedge maze where she meets three playing cards, painting white roses red.

After hearing what their queen would do to them if she found out the roses were white instead of red, she decides to help them. The White Rabbit appears again to present the Queen and the very small King. After finding out about the roses and sending the cards to be beheaded, the Queen challenges Alice to a game of croquet, where she cheats with the help of her subjects, humiliating Alice. The Cheshire Cat reappears again and decides to play a prank on the Queen, who blames Alice and sends her to be put to death. Luckily, the King suggest for Alice to appear in a trial for her life. At the trial, the residents of Wonderland are of no help to her situation and when the Cheshire Cat appears again to play yet another prank on the Queen, Alice is once again blamed for it. Before the Queen could say anything else, Alice quickly eats the mushroom pieces all at once, making her grow to the ceiling. She then tells the Queen off about how she's a "fat, pompous, bad tempered old tyrant." As Alice says this, she begins to shrink once again to her normal size and all of Wonderland begin to chase her. She comes across the small door and the talking Doorknob a final time, trying to open before the Queen gets to her. However, The Doorknob informs her that she's already out, showing her through his keyhole and reveals to her herself sleeping under the tree she was first seen in. Alice desperately tries to wake herself up, but is soon awaken by her sister's voice. They both return home for tea, while Alice realizes the maybe order and logic aren't so bad....sometimes.
