* DeathSeeker: She knows full well that Ray will give her her freedom or keep her around once Lucy is kidnapped; he will in all likelihood kill her. But by this point, she's been so broken down and tortured that she views death as a welcome release [[note]]as for why she hasn't killed herself already, there are two reasons; the first is that Ray has removed access to anything she could use to kill herself after a previous Alice attempted suicide. The second reason is that, if she defies Ray by killing herself, he'll take it out on her parents and murder them out of spite.[[/note]].
Added DiffLines:
* ObsessedWithFood: A very tragic and justified example. Because Ray starves her so her body will stay stunted and childlike, she's ''constantly'' hungry and obsesses over food. Large portions of her narration are dedicated to thinking about the food she wants to eat or savoring what she does get to eat.
