Character Information
Character Name: Alice Liddell
Character Pronouns: She/Her
Canon: Alice in the Country of Hearts
Canon Age: 17
Canon Point: Shortly after the shift to the Country of Clover
Canon Link: A good description of the basics can be found here.
But because the canon is basically a huge mess of overlaying but interconnected worlds and different endings:
Alice chose to live in the Clock Tower, wasn't romantically involved with anyone in particular, and the shift to the Country of Clover has happened but they've only had the first assembly.

AU Information
AU Name: Alice Liddell
AU Age: 17
Physical Differences: None
AU History:
Alice was born into a wealthy and influential family in the Red Court's lands. She is the middle child, with an older sister, Lorina. Thier mother died when Alice was young and while her sister took over raising her, their father became distant and cold. His focus shifted to amassing further wealth and influence and his daughters became pawns for that purpose.
Lorina grew up beautiful and charming and had a long line of suitors vying for her hand. Alice... was the other sister. Not as pretty, not as poised, and with entirely too sharp a tongue to be considered charming. To make matters worse, every time a suitor came calling, Lorina would turn them down. Always saying 'But I can't leave. What would Alice do without me?'
Friends and neighbors were split between those who believed that Lorina was a model sister and how sad it is that she's stuck until Alice manages to get her act together and those who believed that Lorina was just using Alice as a way to keep unwanted suitors at bay. Either way it was a wrench in their father's plans.
He was thrilled when by some miracle Alice actually managed to find a boyfriend. He was the son of a merchant family, which could certainly be advantageous from an economic standpoint. But after introducing him to her family he quickly fell for her older sister and broke up with Alice. And then received the same stock rejection from Lorina.
Alice doesn't really hold a grudge about this because, well... who wouldn't want the prettier, more charming sister? So it's fine. Really. If she keeps telling herself that, maybe she'll start to believe it. No, it pretty much wrecked her self esteem.
And, for her father, it was the last straw. He had to get rid of Alice or he was never going to be able to use Lorina's marriage to advance his ambitions. And maybe he can still get some use out of Alice. One well placed bribe later, Alice drew the white feather and was shipped off to the castle. It is worth noting that Alice certainly heard all of the rumors about her father rigging the selection, is pretty sure they're true.
She hopes Lorina will find happiness.
AU Personality: Alice isn't too different from her canon personality. She's still pragmatic, bossy, and stubborn. She is a bit more cynical in this AU due to growing up in a more hostile home environment. (Her father actively disliking her instead of just ignoring her.) She still has immense respect for her sister and a very bad habit of comparing herself to Lorina.
She's also felt much more stifled considering her early life was filled with the expectations of a noble house and then later dealing with being a disappointment to those expectations. And now that she's been removed from that situation it paradoxically has made her a little less pessimistic. Suddenly having agency in her life has given her a reason to be optimistic.
And, mostly owing to a desire to prove to herself that her father was wrong and she is capable of making something of herself, this Alice is going to be much more motivated to succeed. She always worked hard, but it was mostly out of a sense of responsibility. Now there is a small flame of ambition within her. Which could wind up either being fanned or snuffed out.

Novice Information
Starting Season: First
Maker: Lydia (Alice was a foundling but picked up on the TDM)
Anticipated Court: Red
Sooo.... she'd actually do way better in Silver. She's a caregiver by nature and would love to learn and practice healing arts. She's also bookish and enjoys studying. Alice would be so good in the Silver court.
Red is going to be a challenge. She's not too fond of violence and will have to clear that hurdle before she can properly learn to fight. But that will be the easy part. Seduction now, that will be more than a challenge. It will be a disaster. Alice is awkward regarding romance and intimacy and is easily flustered and embarrassed. She's also got self esteem issues aplenty that make it basically impossible for her to imagine anyone being attracted to her. So that should be fun.
Luckily, Alice is pretty adaptable. She'll get there, it'll just be an uphill battle.
