History Characters / AliceGirlFromTheFuture

* FriendToAllLivingThings: Taken UpToEleven. He is insanely protective of nature, on Earth or any other planet.

* AdaptationalJerkass: In ''Animation/AlicesBirthday'', he is often condescending and sarcastic towards Alice, quite different from his timid and polite self in the books. Somehow justified, since in the film, their acquaintance starts on an unpleasant note with Alice first [[MistookTheDominantLifeform mistaking him for an actual kitten]], and then accidentally spraying him with foul-smelling vaccine.

* AdaptationalDyeJob: She keeps her golden blond hair only in ''Animation/TheMysteryOfTheThirdPlanet''. In ''Series/GuestFromTheFuture'' and ''The Rusty Lieutenant's Island'', her hair is dark, and ''Alice's Birthday'' makes her a FieryRedhead.
* AdaptationalJerkass: Though she is often sarcastic, ''Alice's Birthday'' makes her outright rude. Especially noticeable is her dismissive behavior towards a CanonForeigner kid who offers to help her: in the books, Alice is always nice to younger children.

* AdaptationalJerkass: In the animated film based on ''Alice's Birthday'', he is often condescending and sarcastic towards Alice, quite different from his timid and polite self in the books. Somehow justified, since in the film, their acquaintance starts on an unpleasant note with Alice first [[MistookTheDominantLifeform mistaking him for an actual kitten]], and then accidentally spraying him with foul-smelling vaccine.

* GenreSavvy: Not only does she cheerfully and knowingly subvert the GrannyClassic trope, but she is also aware she is in a sci-fi/adventure book series. In ''Literature/AWarWithLilliputians'', when she and Puccini-2 [[spoiler:rescue Alice from the desert rabbits]], she explains that they did it [[spoiler:at the last moment]] because that’s how it’s done in an adventure novel.

* ThoseTwoBadGuys: They are rarely seen without each other.

* VillainDecay: In the first books they shown as rather ruthless, cold-blooded murderers, perfectly willing to use torture and destroying the population of entire planets just to protect their secrets. The second appearance states them to be just as bad (with an official CompleteMonster medical diagnosis), but they get relatively little opportunity to demonstrate. These villainous traits quickly got downplayed in later books, turning them mostly into ineffectual sympathetic villains. And in even later books they are portrayed as FriendlyEnemy, albeit still with some old habits.

* LittleMissBadass: She is quite skilled in surviving ''all'' sorts of adventures.

* InSeriesNickname: The Simferopol Granny.

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: While not exactly pretty in the adaptations, there isn't one that kept his original, borderline EldritchAbomination form.

* CatFolk: Kitten folk, to be precise.

* BefriendingTheEnemy: Increasingly in later books, where they are both retired from actual piracy and become "pensioners" (as they put it) on the Pirate Planet. They consider their long conflict with Alice as some point of pride, and even help her on some occasions. But they're still pretty ready to do mischief in the galaxy, albeit generally less cruel than before.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Increasingly in the later books. In ''The War with Lilliputians'', both show disdain toward Panchenga's criminal family (slave trade is just the beginning of the list of the latter's crimes).

* LastOfHisKind: Rat is from a race that all but destroyed itself in constant warfare with each other. Subverted later when his mother appears in several books, and some other members of his race are still rumored to have survived, hiding from each other in underground shelters.

* PurelyAestheticGlasses: If you [[FridgeLogic consider]] that the medicine of the future can heal everything.

* AdventurerArchaeologist: Subverted. He is a ''very'' professional, no-nonsense archaeologist. A notable exception is ''Alice's Birthday'', where he decides to bring the planet he's working on back to life.

* AdventurerArchaeologist: Subverted. He is perfectly fine with going dangerous, if the life of others depend of that, but he prefers his normal, quiet studies.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: She gets two in ''Literature/TheCityWithoutMemory'' and beats the crap out of them, after which they decide they'd rather not marry just yet.

* ExtraDigits: Has six toes on both feet, a sign of her Vesterian origins.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She has flowing golden hair and she's a wonderful person.

* SpacePirates: Clearly.

* PurpleEyes: Another significant feature of the Vesterian race.

* MeaningfulName: Probably unintentional, but "Gai" sounds like "Guy".
* WhyCouldntYouBeDifferent: Raised as a boy because her father wanted one.

* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She is mostly tomboyish but doesn't look down on feminine stuff, it's just that it's not high on her priorities.

* AliceAllusion: While not blatant, she is named Alice and does get into some really wacky adventures.

* BewareTheSillyOnes: He might not be TheSmartGuy of the team and his view of adventures and danger might not be adequate, but don't underestimate him either.

* TermsOfEndangerment: They sometimes use diminutives when addressing Alice or call her "kitten". It leans towards actual AffectionateNickname in later books.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: In ''A Million Adventures'', he wants to go to a medieval world and does happen to acquire a passage into one. He barely escapes execution for being too honorable for the local feudals' morals. Subverted, as he is delighted with the entire journey and it does nothing to cool his adventurous nature.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Only too frequently. For example, in ''A Million Adventures'', he decides to make mosquitoes migratory so that they would leave for the polar regions in summer. His solution is to make a mosquito/goose hybrid. He doesn't, however, foresee that the thing will also be the ''size'' of a goose...

* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Some of her tricks, like traveling through space without any sort of vessel, are quite inexplicable.

* MoralMyopia: One day, he decides it's barbarous to pick mushrooms because they feel the pain, and tries to talk his friends out of it. His friends reply that they'll stop picking mushrooms on the day he stops eating bread (because wheat is sensitive too, right?) and wolfing down tomatoes and pineapples.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: He has a brother called Boris, eight years younger than him, who shares his interest in science. [[Creator/TheStrugatskyBrothers Sounds familiar]]?
