** Alice is normally [[WomenAreDelicate dainty, quiet, and relatively meek]] despite the fact that she can kick ass when needed, but in this particular moment where she is [[GodzillaThreshold the only person who can save those she cares about]], Alice displays [[CowardlyLion uncharacteristic bravery in the face of fear]], and this [[ImportantHaircut shows the audience her determination]].
