CHARACTER INFO
Name: Alice Margatroid
Gender: Female
Source: Touhou Project
Canon point: After Ten Desires
Age: 56 (Headcanon; physically about 18)
Colour: #00CD66
Chumhandle: rainbowPuppeteer
History:
http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Alice_Margatroid
Personality:
Alice is a youkai magician, but a relatively young one at that, and one who used to be human. Accordingly, she still retains a lot of her human habits, such as eating and drinking. Most of her time, however, goes towards her own research. She has a reputation for being a bit creepy - if you visit her home, she won't make any conversation, and instead just sits around making dolls. By all accounts, it's extremely unnerving. She doesn't really know to interact normally with people, since she lives with herself and doesn't often associate with others.
She is, however, by no means a hermit. Compared to most youkai, Alice is on much friendlier terms with humans. This is likely because she was once, comparatively recently even, a human herself. She's known for her hospitality - living deep in the woods, her home is something of a bastion of civilization in the wilderness. This means she gets lots of lost travelers knocking at her door, and her general policy is to let them in. She also sometimes goes to the human village and puts on performances with her dolls, which leaves her being somewhat well-liked by the human populace, in a large-scale sense.
Alice likes winning battles, but she likes it as an intellectual. Her combat style is very tactical and thought-intensive. She would much, much prefer to outthink her way to victory than to brute force a solution. This conviction runs so deep in Alice that she always, always holds back her power in fights, even if it means losing. In addition to meaning that any victory she earns is earned by skill and forethought, it also means that she can always think to herself that it wasn't a complete and utter defeat. If she were to go all-out and still lose, it would ruin her image of herself.
The biggest influence on Alice's personality since she became a youkai has been Marisa. Marisa is Alice's best friend, partially due to them having so much in common - solitary magicians living in the Forest of Magic with a penchant for researching new spells. Beyond that, though, their personalities are total opposites - Alice is the linefacing By the Book Cop to Marisa's happy-go-lucky Loose Cannon Cop. Making this even stranger of a partnership, though, is the influence Marisa has on Alice. When they're working together, Alice's personality changes drastically, and she starts to become more Marisa-like, the two of them snarking their way through the day's adventure and generally causing trouble for anyone in their path.
Abilities & physical limitations:
Alice is a magician, and has the magic to back it up! She can fly (everyone in Gensokyo can fly), but her true ability lies in her dolls. Alice creates dolls constantly, and controls them magically via intangible threads of magic. She is capable of controlling many dolls simultaneously, and some of them are capable of simple independent action without her supervision, but she isn't capable of creating an independent, sentient doll. Her trump card is the Goliath Doll, a combat doll that can grow to be about fifteen feet tall.
Beyond this, her only real powers are some basic utility magic and her Grimoire, which she never uses - she willingly sealed it in order to make her fights more intellectual and less power against power. If she were to unlock it, she would have a lot of high-powered direct offensive magic (lasers and explosions and the like) and would become much more powerful, but this probably won't happen.
Physically, Alice is actually quite weak - the dolls do all the heavy lifting in combat for her. In a direct physical confrontation, she would likely lose almost immediately.
Appearance: Pale and skinny, almost doll-like in appearance. Picture included in History link.
