Who Are You?
Alice
"Who in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle!"
Known For:
Following a White Rabbit and falling into Wonderland. Swimming in a pool of her own tears, getting stuck in the White Rabbit's house, inviting herself to the Mad Tea Party, playing croquet with the Queen using flamingos and hedgehogs, and interrupting the trial of the Knave of Hearts.
Description:
Sensible, polite, and intensely curious. Straight hair, wears a pinafore. Size changes on occasion, generally when she eats or drinks something.
Last Appearance:
Waking up from Wonderland to find herself in her sister's lap. (Though she later finds herself in Looking-Glass Land.)
Did You Know:
Tenniel's drawings of Alice look nothing like Alice Liddell, on whom Carroll's heroine is based. Alice Liddell had short, dark hair, and straight bangs.
In the story, Alice has a cat named Dinah. Alice Liddell was also fond of her family's two cats - one of which was named Dinah.
According to Lewis Carroll, Alice is:
"courteous to all, high or low, grand or grotesque, King or Caterpillar…trustful, ready to accept the wildest impossibilities with all that utter trust that only dreamers know…wildly curious…with the eager enjoyment of Life that comes only in the happy hours of childhood." |
