Alice is a minor playable character in Odin Sphere, she only appears during segments that take place in the Attic Library, she is the reader of the erion saga book series, alice is the only character in odin sphere that do not appear in the story book of Erion Saga book series, as she was the reader of the books.
Profile Overview[]
Alice is a young girl who has an incredibly vivid imagination. Although her family is never shown, she mentions having a grandfather and her mother is heard calling her down for cake. She also presumably has a father.
The epilogue of the story reveals that she actually lives in Erion one thousand years after the Armageddon destroyed the continent and it is speculated that she is one of Gwendolyn and Oswald's many descendants.
Appearance Traits[]
Alice was born in 1814 A.D., she is an 8 year old girl book reader of the erion sagas series, she is the youngest character present in the game, as she appears to be even younger than Mercedes. She is fair-featured and has blue eyes, as well as long blonde hair that she keeps in twintails held by black bows. (The bows, interestingly, appear to be on the sides of her pigtails rather than around them at the base.) This causes her to greatly resemble her ancestors, Gwendolyn and Oswald.
She wears a simple long-sleeved blue dress with a white collar and underside, white bloomers, and black and grey-striped socks with black shoes.
Personality Classification[]
Not much is known about Alice's personality. She is shown to be very affectionate to her cat Socrates and enjoyed reading the Erion Saga despite the sad ending. She also seems to be a slight snob, as when Alice asked Socrates to follow her when her mother called her down, she said "Fine, suit yourself!" when he didn't immediately come down.
Background Story[]
Alice was born over a thousand years after the Armageddon as the direct descendant of Gwendolyn and Oswald. She entered the Attic Library with her cat Socrates and began reading a series of books referred to as "The Erion Saga," which were apparently loved by her grandfather, and became thoroughly invested in them.
Plotline Summary Perspective[]
Story Reader[]
Alice doesn't play an active role in the main story, as she is simply reading Gwendolyn, Cornelius, Mercedes, Oswald, and Velvet's tales as they unfold. After finishing The Book of Armageddon, she expresses sadness due to everyone in the world dying while remarking her grandfather still somehow liked the books anyway. After putting down The Book of Armageddon, she notices a coin-like object inlaid in the cover and removes it, noting that it resembles the symbol of Valentine. She makes a wish for the Pooka to regain their human forms, but reminds herself that it is only a story. She is then called down by her mother since the cake she had been baking was finished and leaves the Attic, only just missing Cornelius and Velvet, who take the coin and leave behind the Wheel of Fate book.
Ending Epilogue[]
Lunch Time[]
it is unknown what happened next after alice comes down from the attic for the cake that her mom just finished baking as her cat also leaves after her and when pooka formed velvet and cornelius comes in the attic of their house to obtain the last valentine coin attached in the book of armageddon that was removed from it's attachment by alice who wishes for the extension of the story and she unknowingly wished them to really came in literally without her prior notice in exchange for another book that serves as the continuation of their story and the book reads on it's own while alice and her cat is down the kitchen for the cake.
there are no any pinpointed stories, if alice had grew up and start her own family and tell the tales of the books she have read during her childhood lifetime to her will be children and the children of her children so on down to their descendant generations.
Relationships[]
Socrates[]
Socrates is Alice's best friend and is always present whenever she's in the attic. They are very affectionate to each other, with Alice being able to hold Socrates without him struggling and petting him when they're sitting in the chair.
Gameplay (PS2)[]
Compared to the other characters, Alice doesn't do much gameplay wise. She is capable of being directed to the books as they're unlocked using the gamepad or left joystick. To carry them, the player must hold downward when prompted. She must then carry them to the chair in order to be read, either manually or automatically by holding up or pressing the jump button. She can also pick up Socrates carry him to the chair instead, which allows the player to view the cutscene archive.
Gameplay (OSL)[]
Alice retains her standard movement and actions in the remake: however, she's been given a number of new animations and can be directed to the shelf to read the Text Archive without having to pause the game. She also now simply sets books down on the floor where she stands rather than setting them down exactly where she picked them up.

Trivia[]
The artwork seen in Weekly Famitsu. The couple in the corner has been zoomed in upon for better clarity.
- She is voiced by Kazuko Kojima in Japanese. Her English actress is Wendee Lee, who also voices her mother and Queen Elfaria.
- She is directly based on the little girl seen in the beginning/menu of Princess Crown: both of them are reading a fantasy book series and they're both used as the story's framing device.
- Based on her clothes, alice might had been born around the early or mid 1800s and her clothes might possibly from victorian era by design
- She is featured on the covers of both the first soundtrack released 2007 and the soundtrack for Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir.
- A piece of official artwork from Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir that was featured in a December 2015 issue of Weekly Famitsu has a couple standing behind Alice, who are presumably her parents. The couple bears a startling resemblance to Mercedes and Ingway, which has resulted in a fan theory cropping up that Alice's parents are a reincarnated Ingway and Mercedes.
- This is, however, contradicted by the ending shown in-game where Mercedes is shown to have been reborn as the World Tree while Ingway is in the Netherworld resting at her roots, and both the artist and Vanillaware have neglected to make any comments regarding it.
- It is unknown where alice exactly lives but it's speculated that she lives possibly around western europe very near to scandinavian countries due to the game's involvement with the actual european history as it uses old norse script language which can be seen in some street signs in the kingdom of titania and old norse derived names of the odin sphere playable main character heroes, old norse is a dead ancient language that was dissolved in the high late medieval ages as it's speakers favored it's descendant languages and those it's descendant languages lives and exists today spoken in some millions of people and those languages are Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and Icelandic, old norse language fate is similar to latin language of the italy during the roman empire era period which are both are dead ancient languages but their descandant languages exists latin language descendants are (aragonese, spanish, portuguese, galician, french, italian and romanian) and due to the european history involvement in odin sphere and it's featuring structures, kingdoms and clothing of the existing character figures there in the game are in european styles this makes that alice is obviously a european girl from europe, the only part of this that can totally be confirmed as 100% true and accurate is that alice was born and lives in the same place where erion is located around the european continent 1038 years later after the events of erion saga which is the main storyline plotline of the game that she reads in the books of her house attic, the most suspectible european country where she is from is likely to be denmark due to it's centralized location in europe that crosses vikings, valkyries, berserkers and fairies in the game and it's land forms strikingly resembles erion, it is likely that alice's nationality may had been danish and that she is from denmark and her language is danish, it is been also said that she might have been originated somewhere else in the central mainland europe that are northern central germany or the netherlands, while others expressed that it could had been also in belgium or france because of the game's involvement of the french culture & pooka village due to it's french architecture resemblance, there are also some theories that alice might have originated and lived in these following countries northern france, belgium, luxemberg or the netherlands, there are some rumor theories that erion existed in the land that was located in one of these present modern day countries if not denmark while others argue that it was in england or the ireland, alice likely did not know how to speak, understand or know any word of english, since english language was not still that popular through out europe to be known and still not a global language at the time during the 1820s she probably only spoke danish language and the erion sagas she reads are likely in danish language transliterated from it's old and medieval version that was transliterated from the original language texts of old norse language that later went extinct afterwards.
- according to few japanese sources, alice died at the age of 85 by natural causes during the early months of the final year of the 19th century (exact 1900), however it was never mentioned if she ever had a family on her own or a grandchildren being in existence with her or she may simply have never been married and stayed single in her lifetime until she reaches at the very edge tip of her lifespan age and died alone.
