Origin

Alice is a little seven year old girl who goes on a picnic with her family when she sees a talking rabbit wearing a coat and a watch. She follows the White Rabbit and falls down a whole into another world. The world is Wonderland and there are many strange and unseal things that Alice sees along her adventure in the bizarre world.

Creation

Alice first appeared in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in 1865. Later, she appeared in the children's novel Through the Looking Glass. Both novels were written by Lewis Carrol. These two books are considered canon. Carroll also wrote in "Alice on the Stage:" Every other book is an extension of, a continuation of or a what you really didn't know kind of story.

Alice was not entirely based on any real person but she was named after Alice Pleasance Liddell. The character of Alice is a logical girl who acts a lot older than her age of between six ans seven years old. Both stories take place on the same year 4 May, was the first one and it is also Alice Liddell's birthday. Through the Looking-Glass takes place on November 4th. Alic says that this is her seven and a half birthday exactly. In April 1887,

Alice is mostly depicted wearing a pale blue knee-length dress with a white apron and socks. The original books were in black and white and the first color illustration was yellow. She is also seen wearing red in some stories. Alice is also depicted as a blonde and later she is depicted with striped stocking that remained today.

Character Evolution

As a character Alice seems to have gotten older in just about everything that has been written about her after the original books.

On the bank of a tranquil river, Alice grows bored listening to her sister read aloud a history book. Alice sees a White Rabbit wearing a waistcoat and carrying a large pocket-watch. She follows him and tumbles down a rabbit hole and her skirt around her dress billows out like a parachute.

At the bottom, she follows the rabbit into a large chamber but he escapes through a tiny door. The Doorknob suggests Alice drink from a bottle marked "Drink Me." The contents shrink her to a tiny fraction of her original size. The Doorknob now tells her that he is locked, but the key has appeared back on the table, where she found the drink, which she can no longer reach. The Doorknob directs her to a cookie marked "Eat Me." The cookie makes her grow so large that her head hits the ceiling. She begins to cry; her massive tears flood the room. The Doorknob points out that the "Drink Me" bottle still has some fluid left inside, so she finishes the last drop. She becomes so small that she drops inside the bottle. Both her and the bottle drift through the Doorknob's keyhole mouth and out to a sea made from Alice's tears.

On Shore, a Dodo leads a group of animals in a futile caucus-race to get dry. Alice meets Tweedledum and Tweedledee, two fat brothers who recite "The Walrus and the Carpenter". Alice sneaks away to the White Rabbits house. The rabbbit orders Alice to fetch his gloves. Inside the house, Alice eats a cookie. She becomes so large that she gets stuck inside the house. The Dodo tries to help by sending Bill the Lizard down the chimney and then setting the house on fir. Alice eats a carrot from the garden and shrinks down to three inched high.

Fables

DC Comics produced a series of comics that became part of the Fables Universe. This series is a very irreverent version of classic fairy tale characters and other public domain characters like Alice in wonderland. This Alice is full grown and wears a red dress as appose to the more popular blue. She was a prisoner at Golden Boughs Retirement Community by Mr. Revise and the Page Sisters. Hillary Page was known to pester her, begging her to recite her quotes from the book. She also spent a great deal of time fighting off Wicked John's advances. She managed to escape with John Henry and Pecos Bill during the big breakout, and the group briefly accompanied with Jack Horner, who told them the story behind his identity as Jack Frost. Her fate is never stated, she could have either died during the final battle or is still on the run, looking for Fabletown.

League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen

In the League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen Alice's name is protected because of her young age. She is known as Miss A. L. In it she survives both her trips to wonderland but her body is reversed. This causes an eating disorder that prevents her from eating. This eventually results in her death. Later another group known as the Bell Expedition goes "down the rabbit hole" but all are driven mad except the one that dies in wonderland and the one that comes back as a negative of himself, and who as a result also dies of the same aliment as Alice had.

Alice is the last in a long line of children sacrificed to the realm of Wonderland in order that Charles Dodgson maintain his youth. Despite escaping she left an aspect of herself behind in the realm. This meant that throughout her life that she was perceived to be crazy. She managed a relatively regular life with her high school sweetheart and even married and had two children, but an aspect of the madness always remained.

Alice first appears as a supporting character in the series Return to Wonderland. Her supposed craziness is one of the driving factors in Calie questioning her own insanity as she often has to deal with her mother herself. She is the first to discover her mother after a suicide attempt by cutting her wrists in a hot bathtub, and Calie is forced to deal with the repercussions of a brother that is not old enough to deal with such things and a father that is not responsible enough. The same evil forces that sought to corrupt Alice and give the Jabberwocky a means of infiltrating Earth now have Calie as a potential target and means to escape and so she too is drawn to Wonderland.

After Calie is drawn through the rabbit hole she is put on a similar though much darker path as the main character in the original novel (and similar to the same journey that her mother took.) She meets a mysterious woman known as Lacie, but when Lacie later comes to Calie's rescue Calie discover that this is actually the sane version of her mother which has been captured in Wonderland since Alice was a small girl. Eventually her mother comes to her aid and forces Calie back to Earth. There Calie finds that her mother has committed suicide. The Wonderland version of her remains though and she eventually confronts her son Johnny who has become the Mad Hatter. He seemingly kills her for good, but she eventually briefly returns in the Escape from Wonderland series.

Her entire story is eventually told as a prequel in the Alice in Wonderland series. This also picks up from the Tales From Wonderland: One Shot which featured Alice being sent down the rabbit hole for the first time. To the amazement of her parents she comes back right away, the only person to ever leave Wonderland. What they do not know though is that she did not come back completely. There is still a version of Alice which resides within Wonderland. Eventually the child in Wonderland makes a deal with the Jabberwocky to switch over to the other world and imprisoning the more fully grown Alice in the Wonderland on the other side of the mirror.

The older Alice is now a prisoner of the Jabberwocky while the younger Alice has taken the place of the free Alice and proceeds to live Alice Liddle's life (at this point he is on the verge of going to her prom with her future husband.) Alice in Wonderland remains as a prisoner of the Jabberwocky for some time, until the schemes of others allow her to escape once the White Rabbit gets her free. She thus proceeds on some of the more common elements of the classic story. She comes across the Walrus, who first threatens to eat her but then offers her food. In so doing she exposes her to the murderous Carpenter. Alice escapes from him and then again soon again afterwards from the Cheshire Cat. She proceeds to a home in the forest where she meets a pleasant old woman. However, she is revealed to be the Mad Hatter in disguise. He drugs her and takes her to the March Hare, who had made a deal with the Hatter. He turns the table on the Hare though as the Queen of Spades has given him the Ebony Blade which can bring permanent death to those in Wonderland. During the confrontation between the Hare and the Hatter they are distracted and Alice escapes.

She soon after comes under the control of the Queen of Hearts, who starts off having an amicable friendship with her, but when she interferes in a game of croquet she puts her on mock trial so that she can be executed. The Queen of Spades intervenes at the last moment and tells Alice how she can escape from Wonderland. This is for the selfish purpose of the Queen of Spades as she herself wants to rule Wonderland. Alice has a degree of power transferred to her and then meets the Jabberwocky in battle. She confronts one of his soldiers named Gravity, who is an ancestor of Alice. Eventually she is victorious. She finds out from the Queen of Spades that a miniscule portion of the Jabberwocky which was left in the real world Alice has been eliminated but the Queen also reveals that all the unfortunate events which will befall the Liddle family have already been set and that there is nothing that he can do to change them.

When her son Johnny entered Wonderland, she had since become a prisoner of the Mad Hatter. When the Hatter abducted Johnny and brings him to his dungeon, Johnny found her as a fellow prisoner. As the Hatter revealed himself to be Drake, he then attempted to violate Alice until Johnny escaped his bonds and proceeded to choke him. However, as her version back on Earth is dead, Alice was slowly fading and asked him to end her suffering. Using the Ebony Blade, he did as she asked and mournfully killed her.

Alice continues to show as a recurring character in the stories of Calie and Violet, though often in flashbacks. It is never entirely clear if her appearance is a manipulation by the forces of Wonderland, the increasing insanity of Calie and Violet or if she in fact still exists in some state.

Some time later, a being known as The Maker finds Alice's spirit and reincarnates her as Love, and makes her a member of The Keepers. She regains her memories as Alice when the Maker prepares to fight against The Being.

Eros Comix

In Eros Comic Alice is "older". This is a spoof of the regular story where many of the characters are females and they have a lot of sex. Not much more than that.

Lost Girls

In Alan Moore and Melinda Gebbie's Lost Girls,Alice is portrayed as a grey-haired elderly woman named Lady Fairchild. The comic depicts the sexually explicit adventures of three important female fictional characters of the late 19th and early 20th century: Alice Fairchild, Dorothy Gale, and Wendy Darling. They meet as adults in 1913 in and Austrian hotel describing and sharing with each other some of their erotic adventures.

At fourteen, Alice is coerced into sex with her father's friend, which she endures by staring into a mirror and imagines she is having sex with herself. At an all-girls boarding school, Alice convinces many of her schoolmates to sleep with her, and develops a strong attraction to her P.E. teacher, who offers Alice a job as a personal assistant (and sexual plaything) when she leaves employment at the school. Alice's employer marries a Mr. Redman, but begins hosting extravagant, drug-fuelled lesbian sex parties. Alice becomes addicted to opium, and watches a young girl named Lily, among many others, abused just as she was. When Lily is instructed by Mrs. Redman to secretly perform cunnilingus on Alice under the table during a dinner party, Alice exposes her employer's secrets to the guests. Mrs. Redman has Alice declared insane, and she is put into a mental hospital where she is systematically raped by the staff. Upon release Alice resumes her lesbian activity and drug use. Disowned by her family, she moves to Africa to run a family-owned diamond mine.
