History Characters / OnceUponATimeWonderland

** KickTheSonOfABitch: Physically abusing the Old Prisoner in "Who's Alice?" becomes retroactively this when the next episode reveals his true identity.

* LovableRogue: Kleptomainiac and initially seems to be heartless, but is a good guy.

* TheDragon: Jafar intended for her to be this. It's [[DragonWithAnAgenda probably not]] [[EvilerThanThou going to]] [[TheStarscream work out]].

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Her partnership with Jafar was doomed to fall apart from the start.

* DecompositeCharacter: She is based on Anastasia, the evil stepsister from ''Cinderella'', but she is not actually related to Cinderella as far as fans can tell. Instead, the actual evil stepsister role is given to Clorinda and Tisbe.

* CompositeCharacter: After being heavily implied in In-Universe, WordOfGod finally confirmed that she is indeed adapted from the Cinderella fairy tale, making her a combination of Anastasia Tremaine and the Red Queen.[[invoked]]

* DecompositeCharacter: She is based on Anastasia, the evil stepsister from Cinderella, but she is not actually related to Cinderella as far as fans can tell. Instead, the actual evil stepsister role is given to Clorinda and Tisbe.

* CompositeCharacter: After being heavily implied in In-Universe, WordOfGod finally confirmed that she is indeed adapted from the Cinderella fairy tale, making her a combination of Anastasia Tremaine and the Red Queen.

* UnknownRival: As WordOfGod puts it, Alice considers the Red Queen an ArchEnemy, but the Red Queen views Alice as just a very important game piece. They both eventually change their views.

* TheWomanWearingTheQueenlyMask: A dark, villainous example. She actively cultivates her Queenly Mask, from her flawless appearance to her emotionless facade and her iron rule over her people. On the other hand, she fails to be an effective ruler regardless of trying to live up to it in appearance and action.

* BerserkButton: ''Do not'' tell her what she can and cannot do.

* BishonenLine: The most terrifying and powerful creature in Wonderland looks like a woman. [[UncannyValley Mostly.]]

->'''Centric Episodes:''' “Down the Rabbit Hole”, “Trust Me”, “Who’s Alice”, “To Catch a Thief”

* AntiHero: She's mostly heroic and compassionate, but she occasionally indulges in some dark behavior (threatening to behead the Mock Turtle if it doesn't help her, threatening bystanders with her sword just because they were in her way, etc.)

* BeenThereShapedHistory: "And They Lived..." reveals [[spoiler:''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland'' is an ''autobiography'']].

* BlackSheep: [[spoiler:Upon returning home, she discovered her father had remarried and had a new family. Her step-mother pressures Alice to consider an arranged marriage, and doesn't want her to interact with her younger sister. Her ''half''-sister, as the step-mother insists]].
* BreakTheCutie: After Cyrus's death Alice is inconsolable.

** In "Bad Blood" she gives her the man she believes is her father (actually Jafar in disguise) another verbal walloping for the way he treated her first ignoring her after her mother’s death and then refusing to believe her about Wonderland.

* ChronicHeroSyndrome: DiscussedTrope in 'Bad Blood.' And Jafar exploits it for all it's worth.

* GeniusBruiser: Not only capable of handling herself in a fight but is shown to be able to think he way out of scrapes. And in "Bad Blood" she is smart enough to figure out that she and Will are light enough for the bird bark to rise them up to Jafar's Island but that adding Cyrus' weight will be enough to bring them back down to Wonderland.

* GreenThumb: Almost [[{{NightmareFuel}} ''becomes'' a plant]] in "Who’s Alice?".
* GuileHero: Much like her boyfriend. One example is her BatmanGambit [[spoiler:to find out who exactly are the specific enemies that are coming after her]].

* HeroesPreferSwords: Alice goes everywhere with hers and she’s more than competent while wielding it.
* HeroicBSOD: After Cyrus’ death to the point where she was going to allow them to lobotomise her.

* LadyOfWar: In the finale [[spoiler: she leads Wonderland citizens to fight Jafar's army.]]

* LoveMakesYouCrazy: Or at least obsessive. Her desire to save Cyrus can make her a bit single-minded. As an example, she shows a rather shocking amount of [[NoSympathy callousness]] towards Will when she learns that he has a phobia of drowning. (Granted, [[spoiler: the fact that he planned to steal her wishes and leave her to be eaten by the Cheshire Cat]] probably didn't do much to endear him to her.) On a much darker note, she also threatens the life of the Mock Turtle if it doesn't cooperate with her, despite the fact that it has done nothing to her personally and was just minding its own business when she showed up.

* MayflyDecemberRomance: [[spoiler: While he’s a genie it looks like it's going to be this because he could live millennia and she'll live the length of a human lifetime. Thankfully it is eventually Averted.]]

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: She hands several to Anastasia [[spoiler:after they join forces]].
* SadisticChoice: [[spoiler: Her father forces her to choose between an arranged marriage and being sent to an insane asylum. She rightly guesses it was her step-mother that pressured him into it, as he's clearly unhappy about it]].

* SheCleansUpNicely: [[spoiler:She looks absolutely ''gorgeous'' during her wedding]].

** Also in the latter of those two episodes adult Alice wears a blue dress given to her by her stepmother when she returns after Cyrus's death (when she might otherwise have expected to wear mourning clothes).

->'''Centric Episodes:''' “Forget Me Not”, “Heart of the Matter”, “To Catch a Thief”

* AndShowItToYou: Alice once got his heart back for him, back when he served the Queen of Hearts. [[spoiler: He eventually reveals that he never put it back in. In "Heart of the Matter" Jafar puts it back just in time so he can murder Anastasia while Will looks on helplessly]].

* CatchPhrase: Take a shot every time he says "bloody hell" or just "bloody."
* CompositeCharacter: He is also Will Scarlet from Robin Hood and as of the finale [[spoiler:the White King]].

* DiedInYourArmsTonight: Very nearly happens to him in "Home". Only [[spoiler:his wish to end Alice's suffering keeps him from dying in Anastasia's arms]].

* ForcedToWatch: Jafar after [[spoiler:he broke the rules of Magic]], forces him to watch as he [[spoiler: kisses and cuddles Anastasia resurected]].

* TheHighKing: According to Alice [[spoiler: he and Ana eventually became The White King and Queen and led Wonderland to an age of prosperity and happiness.]]
* LaserGuidedKarma: Despite his HeelFaceTurn, it certainly seems karmic that after a life of thievery and taking things, [[spoiler:Will becomes a genie: a being that has to ''give'' to others. Interestingly, the original three genies had basically the same origin story, as revealed by the Nyx]].
* JadeColouredGlasses: After he has Cora remove his heart [[spoiler:and then when he doesn't put it back in]].

* TheOneThatGotAway: The mysterious Anastasia. [[spoiler: Except that she's not so "away", having become the Red Queen. And it's later revealed she regards him the same way]].

* TakenForGranite: [[spoiler: As Jafar can't kill him without killing Alice, he turns him into stone. He gets better though]].

* TrueLovesKiss: How he [[spoiler:snaps Anastasia out of Jafar's control]].

->'''Centric Episodes:''' “Heart of Stone”, “Heart of the Matter”

* AntiVillain: Particularly noticeable when she's paired up with the absolutely ruthless Jafar. And her motives to do so will erase all events that made her a villain to start with so she can [[spoiler:get back together with Will]].
* ArchEnemy: To Alice. [[spoiler:It takes Cyrus trusting the Red Queen to dissuade Alice from regarding her this way]].

* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:''Twice'' in the finale. The first time, as part of Jafar changing the rules of magic, she's revived by him as yet another way to spite Will, being mindlessly in love with Jafar instead. After Jafar is dealt with and the rules of magic are enforced again she's brought back by water from the Well of Wishes]].
* BadBoss: Gives the White Rabbit death threats anytime he asks to be let out of his job spying for her. [[spoiler: And is holding his family hostage.]]

* BigBadDuumvirate: With Jafar [[spoiler: until "Home"]].
* BigBadWannabe: While she tries her best to keep it an equal partnership; ultimately it’s Jafar whose the true BigBad of the show.

* CameBackWrong: [[spoiler:Jafar ''does'' bring her back as he promised to Will but he also makes her in love with him saying that Will never said she should be revived as she was before]].

-->'''Alice:''' When two people love each other, [[ThePowerOfLove there's nothing they can't accomplish together.]]\\

** She later tells Cyrus that "Sadly, love isn't always enough", [[IronicEcho the same thing that the King had told her way back when.]]

* EmotionlessGirl: Tries to keep up this appearance, but frequently [[BeneathTheMask slips.]]

** Eventually she realizes that [[spoiler:Jafar's vision of the future benefits no one but himself and she executes a HeelFaceTurn]].

* ItsAllAboutMe: [[spoiler: Wants to use magic to have a second chance with Will. But in order to get that goal she kidnaps the White Rabbit's family to ensure his loyalty, separates Alice and Cyrus and who knows what else. This changes from "Nothing to Fear" and onward, where she learns the error of her ways and starts acting selflessly for the good of everyone else.]]
* KickTheDog: Turning the [[NoNameGiven handsome man]] into [[ImAHumanitarian the Grendel.]]
** Also, [[spoiler: while it's unlikely she'd have killed them considering where they were stashed, kidnapping the White Rabbit's wife and kids in order to blackmail him into servitude was not cool]].

* TheLostLenore: [[spoiler:As Anastasia, to the Knave. Will is this for her as well]].
* MindRape: [[spoiler: How the Jabberwocky breaks her]].

* NotEvilJustMisunderstood: [[spoiler:In the present story, she's only committing evil so that she can turn back the clock and avoid becoming the Red Queen to begin with. Cyrus, who can read people, picks up on this and realizes she's trustworthy]].
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: In-universe, her stiff posh accent begins to deteriorate after [[spoiler: Jafar blows up her castle, and even more after Will refuses to believe that she's trying to help him and Alice]].
* PetTheDog: When she sets up an elaborate gambit to acquire some magic dust, ostensibly to use as protection from Jafar. It's actually to [[spoiler:free the Knave who has been turned to stone by Jafar]].

* PsychoExGirlfriend: [[spoiler:She goes to extremes to get Will back, wanting to change the past so that they never split up to start with. Unusually for this trope, she's ultimately portrayed sympathetically]].
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Only sort of to begin with - when she is shown to at least 'try' to listen to her subjects' complaints. [[spoiler:Later she becomes this for real when she joins the fight against Jafar]].

** She does so with Alice in "Heart of Stone."

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: When Will returns to Storybrooke, it is never really mentioned what happened to her or why he left Wonderland as it was shown that they got together in the series finale. With Will's disappearance afterward, it is possible that his time on the main show was {{Retcon}}ned into being before the ''Wonderland'' series.

* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler: For his treachery in "Home", a justified example when he reveals that he only did what he did to protect his wife and kids from harm]].

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Although he's a spy for the Red Queen, he clearly does so out of extreme fear, and he stills cares about Alice very much. [[spoiler: He also has a wife and kids that he loves as well]].
** And as it turns out, [[spoiler: it's said wife and kids being held hostage by the Red Queen that drives him to do what he does. It's not fear for himself: it's fear for his family]].

* MinionWithAnFInEvil: He's only spying on Alice for the Red Queen because of death threats from her part, and because [[spoiler: she's holding his family hostage]]. He ''really'' wants out to the point where gave the Red Queen Cyrus's bottle in the hope she would release him from his job for going beyond the call of duty. She didn't.

* WelcomeBackTraitor: [[spoiler: In "Home"]].

* LosingYourHead: [[spoiler: The Red Queen gives Tweedledee this treatment after discovering his alignment with Jafar. Being Wonderland, this doesn't kill him, and his detached head is still able to state the obvious to Jafar ("I think she's onto us.") Jafar rectifies this by giving him a new body... after cutting off the head attached to that body]].

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Tweedledee's last non-flashback appearance is in episode 9 [[spoiler: where Jafar gives him a new body]]. His fate as of the finale is unknown.

* BackForTheDead: [[spoiler: She dies in her second appearance]].

* BeCarefulWhatYouSay: Trying to get the Knave to feel something for her, she carelessly phrases it as a wish. [[spoiler: She dies, and the Knave can only helplessly watch]].
* DiesWideOpen: Until [[spoiler: Anastasia closes her eyes... and then the Jabberwocky comes and plucks them right out]].
* EyeScream: [[spoiler:After her death, Jabberwocky removes her eyes so that Jafar can view her last glimpses and find out where the Genie's bottle is]].
* ForgottenFallenFriend: Played straight: [[spoiler: she's briefly mourned in the episode she dies but is never mentioned afterward. Will does not even think about bringing her back to life while he was willing to betray Alice to resurrect Anastasia.]]

* LikeBrotherAndSister: With the Knave. [[spoiler:Or so [[HopelessSuitor HE thinks, anyway.]]]]
* LoveMartyr: She's hopelessly in love with [[spoiler: the Knave]], who not only is in love with someone else but is also [[spoiler: incapable of feeling anything towards her since he removed his heart]].
* SheCleansUpNicely: Gets a magical makeover [[spoiler:as one of her wishes]].

* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler: Despite being an unsympathetic monster for most of her screentime, her final scene where she's imprisoned again by Jafar actually earns some viewer pity for her.]]

* {{Foil}}: To Rumpelstiltskin - both are absurdly powerful {{Humanoid Abomination}}s that [[TheDreaded inspire fear]] from everybody within their respective realm who's only weakness is a bladed weapon made for the sole purpose of keeping them in-check and would usually keep to themselves unless provoked or invited.

* FreudianExcuse: She tries to evoke this claiming: "people aren't born monsters"

* KryptoniteFactor: [[CoolSword The Vorpal Blade]], which kept her [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice nailed to the ceiling of her prison.]]

* SealedEvilInACan: Imprisoned in a tower until Jafar frees her. [[spoiler:Once Jafar achieves his goals, he imprisons her again]].

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler: Like she expected, Jafar uses the Vorpal Blade on her after he no longer needs her.]]

[[/folder]]

* AbsoluteCleavage: Her outfits tend to show this aspect of her off.

* CryCute: In "Home" when revealing her true motivation.

* LosingYourHead: [[spoiler: The Red Queen gives Tweedledee this treatment after discovering his alignment with Jafar. Being Wonderland, this doesn't kill him, and his detached head is still able to state the obvious to Jafar ("I think she's onto us."]]) [[spoiler: Jafar rectifies this by giving him a new body... after cutting off the head attached to that body]].

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After being deposed and then confronted by her former subjects, she realizes that her rule was a horrible thing for the people. It kicks her HeelFaceTurn UpToEleven, turning her into a revolutionary against Jafar.

* MindRape: Her M.O. She enters her victims' minds and plays out their [[PrimalFear worst fears]] in their heads. She can drive people to their [[UpToEleven deaths in this manner]].

* NiceHat: A black bowler.

* CompositeCharacter: After being heavily implied in In-Universe, WordOfGod finally confirmed that she is indeed adapted from the Cinderella fairytale, making her a combination of Anastasia Tremaine and the Red Queen.

%% * EnglishRose: Sophie Lowe certainly ''looks'' the part as Alice, though her personality defies the expectations of a ProperLady.

%% More context is needed. Desription of her appearance and her character traits and that she's English (this one is covered by saying she's from Victorian London. Note bene: EnglishRose doesn't have to be a ProperLady. NiceGirl is ok, too.

* {{Expy}}: He's Wonderland's [[StarWars Jabba the Hutt]] in this show, a disgusting slob who runs the local hive of scum and villainy.
