14	Alice Heart is Queen Rougina's protegee. She has lived most of her life in the Heart Church and has recently moved to attend Phantasmagoria University in order to become an oneironaut. Her Traumen Mark is in her pupils.
15	----
16	* AdaptationalCurves: When the comic was rebooted, Alice went from being mildly above average size to a BigBeautifulWoman.
17	* AliceAllusion: The entire plot is based on ''Literature/AliceInWonderland'' and ''Through The Looking Glass'' and, being named "Alice" in setting like this, it sort of comes with the territory.
18	* AmbiguouslyHuman: [[spoiler:There are hints that Alice is a human that started turning into a Jabberwocky after falling into Wonderland that Rougina stabilized somehow]]. Unlike most examples of this trope, it's the "human" option that's the most interesting and fascinating. [[spoiler:It's ultimately revealed that she's not a human, but not a suit either. Her mother is Rougina, a Queen]].
19	* AmnesiaMissedASpot: She can't remember [[spoiler:her sister, but when she finds a music box that plays music that resonates with the person who's listening, it plays a song that they used to listen to together, causing her to feel like she's missing someone]].
20	* AngelUnaware: [[spoiler:Rougina, when cornered, tells her she's a would-be Queen, a Goddess, basically.]] The revelation, [[TraumaCongaLine coupled with everything else]] causes her to start LaughingMad (in tears).
21	* ApocalypseMaiden: [[spoiler:When around dream sand, which powers and flows through everything in Wonderland, she subconsciously attracts nightmares, which gets worse the more emotional she is]].
22	* BigBeautifulWoman: Alice is a tad on the heavy side, and she's noted to be quite beautiful.
23	* ColorMotif: Her eyes (when [[RedEyesTakeWarning she's not angry]]) are pink, and so are most of her outfits.
24	* CuteLittleFangs: They only appear when she's emotional, but they're there. [[spoiler:It seems to come from her part-nightmare nature]]. A flashback shows that she had them fulltime as a child.
25	* DreamCrushingHandicap: Alice wanted to attent Phantasmagoria, get friends, and become a Joker so she could see the world. [[spoiler:This dream is put to an end by her unique nature, which spawns and attracts nightmares when she's around dreamsand, which oneironauts like the Jokers work with]].
26	* EmotionControl: She is a Heart. That gives her the ability to control Dreamer's emotions.
27	* ExoticEyeDesigns: Her unique traumen mark are in her eyes, giving her heart-shaped pupils.
28	* FictionalDisability: [[spoiler:Something about Alice's unique nature causes her to attract and spawn nightmares out of dreamsand. Since dreamsand is everywhere in Wonderland, this is akin to a crippling disability]].
29	* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Alice is a SpoiledSweet blondie who's kind everyone that doesn't make her mad.
30	* IJustWantToBeNormal: In Chapter 5, Alice accidentally falls asleep and has a sudden encounter with a separate, Nightmare-like version of herself, who has popped in and out at random times throughout the story. Nightmarish Alice tells Alice that she missed her and wants to be with her, at which point Alice bursts into tears, saying she just wants to live a normal life without Nightmarish Alice ruining it for her.
31	* InnocentlyInsensitive: After hearing that Edith is lonely because she spent most of her life studying to get into Phantasmagoria rather than socializing, Alice says she doesn't have a good social life either and she's happy that they're so similar. Edith clearly doesn't appreciat that Alice, the queen's protégée, thinks she is the same as Edith, who's from a poor family barely scraping by, but Alice clearly didn't mean anything wrong with it.
32	* ISeeDeadPeople: After [[spoiler:Hatter kisses her, she starts seeing ghost cats as well]].
33	* LaserGuidedAmnesia: For whatever reason she [[spoiler:doesn't remember her sister, despite having spent their childhoods together]].
34	* LaughingMad: She has a tendency of laughing when in emotional distress, first when [[spoiler:Hatter tells her that the Underground is getting sealed]], and again after going through a TraumaCongaLine all of chapter 9 and being given a WhamLine by Rougina, when she starts laughing hysterically on the brink of of a nervious collapse, [[CryLaughing barely holding back tears]].
35	* NiceGal: Alice is the queen's protege and [[LonelyRichKid has been raised with no friends]], but all provided, yet is extremely nice to everyone and completely ignores FantasticRacism.
36	* OlderThanTheyLook: Alice looks like (and thinks she is) 18 years old. [[spoiler:She was actually born before the Cataclysm, which would mean she's actually over 125 years old]].
37	* RaisedByTheCommunity: Basedon various scattered accounts from her childhood, Alice appears to have been raised in part by the sisters of the Heart church, part by Rougina, and part by Azalea.
38	* ReallyRoyaltyReveal: [[spoiler:She is Rougina's daughter, and a would-be Queen]].
39	* RecurringDreams: Alice frequently experiences dreams of a nightmarish red tree, and occaisonally sees a nightmare version of herself. This is notable because suits like Alice aren't supposed to have dreams.
40	* RedEyesTakeWarning: Alice's pupils turn red when she gets angry. A sign of her SuperpoweredEvilSide.
41	* RichInDollarsPoorInSense: Having been raised in the Heart Church as Rougina's ward, Alice has a poor grasp of what life is like for a normal suit. Among other things, she has no idea that trains don't run at all hours, and she thought a singular banana cost 10 dollars.
42	* SociallyAwkwardHero: Alice haven't had much contact with others before her arrival in Phanty U, and sometimes it shows - especially when the GirlPosse latches onto her.
43	* {{Squee}}: After overhearing Edith calling her her friend, she squees loud enough that she almost gets caught.
44	* StrongFamilyResemblance: Inverted. [[spoiler:Alice is a short, thick, blonde girl, while her mother, Rougina, is tall, lithe, and has red hair. The only real similarity is their fair skin color and red eyes]].
45	* SuperpoweredEvilSide: Alice seems to have something like his - whenever she's angry, she gets wide-eyed and starts spilling red dust around. It's implied that medicine she takes daily keeps it at bay. [[spoiler:Interestingly, she starts looking a lot more like The Nightmare when this happens]].
46	* SurvivalMantra: "I'll be okay". Whenever she says it it's a surefire sign that she is ''not'' okay.

53
54	A figure Alice often sees in her hallucinations and "dreams". It's eventually revealed that the Nightmare is Alice's twin sister, Mimzy, but she has forgotten them and doesn't start seeing them properly again for years.
55	----
56	* AmbiguousSituation: It's unclear exactly how she was born, as Rougina only gave birth to Alice. When she left her alone for a second, Mimzy seems to have spontaneously spawned from her.
57	* BerserkButton: She does not take well to the idea that she's not real.
58	* BlackEyesOfCrazy: Subverted. She has red eyes with black sclera similar to suits infected by Jabberwocky sepsis, but she is a good person.
59	* DarkIsNotEvil: She looks pretty horrifying, with fangs and BlackEyesOfCrazy, but she is actually a very nice and friendly girl who's very excited to meet her sister.
60	* InvisibleToNormals: The Nightmare only appears to Alice, and disappears when anyone else is around.
61	* MirrorMonster: Outside of dreams, the Nightmare can appear to Alice in reflective surfaces, though Alice doesn't notice her. When they were children, she appeared as her own person, until Alice pushed her through a mirror during a tantrum.
62	* NotSoImaginaryFriend: The Nightmare only appears to Alice, and Alice talked to her as a child, though she can't remember, but she is certainly real.
63	* OnlyFriend: Used to be this to Alice when they were children. Then Alice forgot them for years, and when they start talking again their relationship is rather strained.
64	* SuperpoweredEvilSide: She's not evil, but Alice starts to take on her traits when she's angry, including glowing red eyes and fangs.

73	----

75	* ColorMotif: She dresses primarily in blue and she has blue eyes.
76	* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: Her powers are dangerous to use and her mother warns her against using them for unknown reasons.

79	* HappilyAdopted: Shown to get along very well with the woman who took her in when she was a baby.
80	* ImaginationBasedSuperpower: Being a Diamond, she can create objects in the Dreamscape. However, any object requires a deep focus on it in order to bring it into fruition.
81	* LipstickLesbian: Edith enjoys fashion and other "girly" hobbies, and her style is quite feminine, and WordOfGay confims that she is lesbian.
82	* MassiveNumberedSiblings: Edith's mother has a ''lot'' of adopted kids, so Edith has a lot of siblings. Current number is six younger siblings and three older siblings.
83	* MeaningfulName: "Diamant" is Norwegian for "Diamond", which is what she is.
84	* PowerOfTheVoid: Not confirmed, but it's speculated by some readers that her white magic might work by manipulating The Nothing. Dee reveals it's because she's a reverse suit.
85	* ShyBlueHairedGirl: She has dark blue hair and she's much more timid and introverted compared to the cheerful and social Alice.

94	Mabel Klover is an assistant working in the campus library. She shares a Dream Simulation class with Alice and Edith, and is an optimistic intellectual girl. Her Traumen Mark is on the back of her right hand.
95	----
96	* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: [[spoiler:In Chapter 6, after a Nightmare sprouts during the Dream Simulation, [[TheVirus Mabel gets bitten]] by a Nightmare while trying to protect Alice - this is made even worse by a [[BodyHorror very gruesome transformation]], ''on-screen''. Poor Mabel.]]
97	* BrainyBrunette: Has brown hair and knows her way around the library well.
98	* DarkIsNotEvil: [[spoiler:Protects Alice both before and after turning into a Nightmare.]]
99	* AttackitsWeakPoint: [[spoiler:The nightmare bites her right on her traumen mark, causing the infection to reach the wonder anchor instantly and turn her into a nightmare on the spot]].
100	* ItCanThink: [[spoiler:Appears to retain her sentience and sense of self due to not only saving Alice but start crying after her transformation.]]
101	%% * ColorMotif: Green
102	* KillTheCutie: [[spoiler:When Mabel [[AndThenJohnWasAZombie transforms into a Nightmare]], the Jokers execute her not long after she finished off the Nightmare who bit her. To make matters worse, this all happened while she was ''crying'' over her transformation, and Alice has no choice but to sit and watch her friend die.]] This is subverted however in Chapter 9 when [[spoiler: it's revealed that Jabberwock Mabel wasn't killed, merely captured and given over by Rougina to Obsidian, apparently leader of the Jabberwocks, as part of some secret arrangement.]]
103	* PrecociousCrush: Downplayed since she's not ''that'' young, but she has a crush on Dee and Dum, the dream sim teachers. Who happen to be Edith's siblings.

111	A trio of Phantasmagoria students who "befriend" Alice on the first day. Lacie is the black girl, Elsie has short hair, and Tillie has long hair.
112	----
113	* AmbiguouslyBrown: While Lacia is clearly black and Elsie is white, Tillie is somewhere inbetween, with the artstyle making it difficult to determine if she's meant to parallel any particular human ethnicity.
114	* TheDividual: They almost always appear together. Lacie lampshades this when she runs into Alice alone, pointing out that they do exist independently of each other.
115	* FantasticRacism: They all think Alice is too good to room with a Diamond, and are part of the students who discriminate against Edith. Elsie later tells Alice that this is not just because Edith is a diamond, but because she's a "new" diamond, compared to most diamond Phantasmagoria student whom they've known for years.
116	* ConspiracyTheorist: Elsie, according to the Alt Text, lurks conspiracy blogs. She believes that Rougina's Vorpal Sword, which the last pieces of are said to still be hidden in Rougina's possession, has been lost completely (especially since Alice has never seen it). Not only that, she believes Rougina isn't as powerful as most would believe, that there's no way she could still be alive without Bianchia, that the moon is fake, that Rougina is actually a collective hallucination everyone's been imagining, and so on.
117	* GirlPosse: Of the mean girls variety, the three of them cling to Alice on her first day and being openly racist towards Edith.

126
127	The infamous Red Queen and Alice's guardian. She rules over Wonderland and the Looking Glass Territories with an iron fist in a lace glove.
128	----
129	* AbusiveParents: She is Alice's guardian [[spoiler:and biological mother]], and her first scene does not paint a pretty picture, showing that she is at the very least emotionally abusive in how she degrades Alice, subtly calling her stupid and annoying and overall tearing down her confidence.
130	* AmbiguouslyEvil: She is certainly framed as evil a lot of times, her first appearance framing her as an AbusiveMom, ominously telling Azalea that they have a lot to do, having [[spoiler:made a DealWithTheDevil]], and appearing in a lot of non-canon illustrations as a very ominous figure. At the same time, she seems to genuinely care about Alice, and she's held as a beloved ruler by most of Wonderland.
131	* AmbiguouslyGay: Her relationship to Azalea comes across as a bit closer than just lady and confidant.
132	* AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler:In chapter 10, she's struck by something coming out of Obsidian's mirror which turns her eyes black, progresses her infection, and suddenly turns her hostile towards Alice. While this seems to imply some kind of DemonicPossession or TheCorruption, she also seems to still act like herself, only more aggressive and controlling, which is not entirely out of character for her, making it unclear exactly what is going on]].
133	* {{BFS}}: Her Vorpal Sword is a massive broadsword, though only the broken off hilt remains.
134	* CainAndAbel: While it can be debated if they count as sisters, she and Bianchia initially waged an endless war, until the appearance of the Dream Spring and the jabberwocky forced them to put aside their differences and work together to defend the world.
135	* TheCorruption: [[spoiler:She has a black pattern spreading in veins from her chest, her back, and her left eye. What it is is unclear, but it may have to do with Obsidian]].
136	* CreatorDeity: She, along with her counterpart the White Queen, are the creators of all life in Wonderland.
137	* DealWithTheDevil: [[spoiler:She appears to have made some kind of deal with Obsidian to protect Alice. The deal requires her to have trinkets destroyed, claiming that they attract jabberwocky]].
138	* HornedHumanoid: She has crystaline horns growing out of her head, which she covers up with her hair. They used to be full antlers, but were broken of in the Nightmare Cataclysm. She used to have a third horn in her forehead, but it was completely broken of, leaving only a scar.
139	* HumanResources: The potions Alice takes to stabilize her condition appear to be made at least in part from [[spoiler:Rougina's blood]].
140	* MamaBear: During Alice's midterm exams, when Alice accidentally [[spoiler:summons a dome full of nightmares, Rougina immediately jumps into the room, grabs Alice, and kills every single nightmare]].
141	* MyBelovedSmother: To the reader, it's very clear that Rougina is using all the classic manipulation tactics ("What would you do without me?" "I only do this because I love you!") to keep Alice dancing to her tune.
142	* ParentsAsPeople: She does love Alice, having taken part in raising her, scheduling meetings so they can catch up while she's attending Phantasmagoria, [[spoiler:allowed her to attend the university at all despite knowing that her condition made it dangerous, made a DealWithTheDevil to protect her, and assures her and her sister that they were born perfect]]. She is unfortunately very bad at expressing this, and often comes across as degrading and strict as a result.
143	* TimeAbyss: She is supposedly older than the entire Wonderland world.
144	* ToughLeaderFacade: Inverted. Alice notices that she's a very different person in her public appearances than in private. However, the difference is that her public appearances cast her as a kind and encouraging matron, whereas she is much harsher in private.
145	* UnusualEars: While normal suits have human ears, Rougina and Bianchia have ears more resembling those of deer. According to the AltText, they express emotions through the movement of their ears.
146	* VoluntaryShapeshifter: She used to be able to shapeshift at will, but has since lost that ability.

171	* CreatorDeity: She and her counterpart Rougina created life in Wonderland.
172	* FisherQueen: She apparently had some connection to the cats of Wonderland, as there were apparently a lot more before she died.
