** Because of Alice's reputation and how she inspires others, her followers are mainly following her because of who she is, but likewise, those who oppose her do so for the same reason, and thus realize that there's not much of a point in trying to convince or persuade her otherwise because they're certain that she's doing what she thinks is the right thing.
** Because Alice is convinced that she's always picking the morally good option and inspiring others around her to do the right thing, she is incapable of seeing situations that involve GreyAndGrayMorality. As such, this often puts her at odds with other heroes and fellow teammates who believe she's starting to verge into BlackAndWhiteInsanity.
** The constant stress of trying to uphold the image of a squeaky clean paragon of moral perfection takes its toll on Alice and eventually triggers a mental breakdown.
* '''Reconstructed''': The various friends Alice inspired pay her back by helping her recover. Alice realizes that it's okay if you mess up sometimes as long as you learn from your mistakes and always pick yourself up for another try.
