Alice Margatroid (アリス・マーガトロイド Arisu Māgatoroido) is a doll-controlling magician[1] who lives in the Forest of Magic. She first appeared in the fifth work Mystic Square as only "Alice," and later appeared in the seventh work Perfect Cherry Blossom with her surname.

General Information

In appearance, she has blonde hair and has pale skin, and at one glance she has the appearance of a doll.[2] Her height is "fairly tall."[3] The color of her eyes changes with each work.

She is an all-purpose-type of magician without strengths and weaknesses in attributes. With a personality that is indifferent to other people, she is attached to magic, and is usually confident but is also timid in one aspect.[4]

According to Pefect Memento in Strict Sense, Alice was originally a human, and upon completion of some training, she became a magician. It has not been long since the day she has become a magician, and because of this, it seems like she still continues human habits like eating and sleeping that were originally not necessary. This was realized when in the "Aria of Forbidden Magic Team" route of Imperishable Night bad endings, she became sleepy.

As her specialty is making dolls, she is also able to manipulate a great amount of dolls at the same time. This skilfulness is among the finest in Gensokyo.[4] She is able to make her dolls move pretty much any way humans can, and other than that she can make multiple dolls perform different actions, sometimes making them cooperate and sometimes making them move completely asynchronously, such that to onlookers around her, it might not seem like she is manipulating them. The dolls are also able to manipulate dolls, but it seems like she does it all by herself only when it comes to the task of creating the dolls.[2] In chapter 5 of Strange and Bright Nature Deity, she gave a command to a doll orally, but at that time she was indoors while at the same time there were at least 10 dolls above the roof removing snow, and there were also some dolls inside the room cooking.

According to Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red, her objective is to make a completely autonomous doll that have their own thoughts and move by their own volition. Currently, when Alice gives a command to her dolls, they move as if they were autonomous, but she has to periodically give commands to them, and moreover it seems like she has not have had enough training in order to achieve it.

She has a residence in the Forest of Magic. According to Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, maybe since she was originally a human, even as a youkai, she has high understanding and friendship level to humans and presents a low danger level, and if someone gets lost in the forest, she also gladly gives shelter upon arriving at her house. However, Alice's house is covered all over with dolls, and since she is not very eager for conversation, it seems like she immediately flees when there is something eerie.[2][4] In chapters 5-6 of Strange and Bright Nature Deity, the Three Fairies of Light accidentally arrived at her house, and Alice was hospitable to them.

According to Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, she does not perform the usual act of attacking humans, but she unexpectedly likes fights and upon challenged to battle, she gladly accepts. As she manipulates a great number of combat dolls, the fight is compelled to be highly outnumbered, making a difficult battle inevitable, but since she has her hands full with manipulating the dolls, that is her weakness.

She does not find it enjoyable to win battles with overwhelming power, so she usually fights with power that is a little more than that of the opponent. Also, since it would be the end of the ropes if she was defeated while putting forth her true power, she does not give it her all in fights, which is similar in personality to Reimu Hakurei.

In the character settings text for Imperishable Night, it was written that she was an indoors type who was often alone, but in Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, the range of her place of activities is set to "any kind of place" in Gensokyo, and she also appeared in front of people in times of festivals to exhibit her skill with dolls. In each ending of Imperishable Night and Immaterial and Missing Power, she participated in banquets at the Hakurei Shrine. She also said things that hinted that she sometimes visits the library of the Scarlet Devil Mansion.[5]

According to ZUN's comments in the Music Room of Perfect Cherry Blossom, Alice is a little special as a character of the Touhou Series, and because of that, he composed her theme with renewed vigor.

In Perfect Cherry Blossom, she did not have any special reason to fight Reimu and the others, and it was only because she was there by chance that she became a magic opponent.

Character Basis

Name

Her full name is Alice Margatroid. ZUN states in Mystic Square's bonus text file that he originally based her off of the Alice from Megami Tensei. Also, she was called the "the girl of death". In addition, the Alice from Megami Tensei is, in turn, based off the main protagonist in Lewis Carroll's famous novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and the majority of enemies in Mystic Square's extra stage are card soldiers of the same type seen in the Walt Disney animated movie version of the novel. The title of the BGM used in that stage also directly translates to "Alice in Wonderland". When ZUN created the extra stage in Mystic Square, he decided to add a grimoire to her character design as a reference to a fighting game, Asura Blade: Sword of Dynasty, in which a necromancer named Alice carries one.[6]

According to the "Dawn of Touhou" after-report, when ZUN says "Alice", the name carries an image of illusion.

Her surname Margatroid is derived from a real surname, Murgatroyd. It was also the name of the character Miss Murgatroyd from Agatha Christie's book A Murder is Announced and "Murgatroyd" was also a nickname for the vampire in Kim Newman's Anno Dracula. On a more interesting note, in a BBC Radio 4 adaptation was first broadcast on 9 August 1999, a girl name Alice Arnold was responsible for Miss Murgatroyd role.

Design

Alice was first seen in Mystic Square wearing a pink/white dress with a blue apron and a matching headband with a ribbon on the side. Her eyes were gold, and her hair is blonde. She wears white socks. In the Extra stage of the same game, she appears to be carrying a large black book that's called the "Grimoire of Alice".

By the time she was next seen in Perfect Cherry Blossom, she had dark blue eyes and short blonde hair with what appears to be a red band in her hair. She wears a light blue dress with long white sleeves and a long pink ribbon going round her neck and another one round her waist. Also, appears to be wearing socks and has has a black book, possibly the same one from Mystic Square.

As it gets to Immaterial and Missing Power, her eyes were a very dark green and nearly black. Her book appears to be wrapped up in a red ribbon and there appears to have thin string going round her left arm. She is also seen wearing black boots. In Imperishable Night she has orange eyes and is shown to be wearing socks. In both Scarlet Weather Rhapsody and Touhou Hisoutensoku, her eyes are a lighter shade of green and she once again wears black boots.

Additional Information

  • According to the Omake Notes for Mystic Square, the inspiration for Alice's grimoire came from the game Asura Blade, which features a young necromancer girl also named Alice who controls the dead with a book.
  • Strange and Bright Nature Deity chapter 6 has Sunny Milk attempting to lie to Alice, but accidentally blurting out the truth instead. Among her ramblings, she mentions that she's looking for a magician with a grimoire that "shines wonderfully with all the seven colors of the light". Alice does not deny this to be false. It is possible this is the in-universe explanation for her title, "Seven-Colored Puppeteer".
  • Being known as the "Seven-Colored Puppeteer" or "Rainbow Puppeteer", Alice apparently believes in a correlation between color and power level. During her dialogue with Reimu Hakurei in Perfect Cherry Blossom, she asserts Reimu's powers are only equal to 28.5714% (or 2/7) of her own powers, due to Reimu's outfit only consisting of two colors. This appears to be a recurring theme in Perfect Cherry Blossom, as Yukari Yakumo, Ran Yakumo and Chen are all named after colors and have relative power levels equivalent to their colors' place on the visual spectrum.
    • This has not be referenced in recent games though some fanart references this.
  • In some official material, like Imperishable Night's Prologue and Strange and Bright Nature Deity chapter 5, Alice's dolls appear to be able to act and talk independently, but according to her Perfect Memento in Strict Sense article, she hasn't yet succeeded in creating an independent doll, and a conversation between Marisa and Rinnosuke Morichika in Curiosities of Lotus Asia chapter 16 suggests that Alice just controls the dolls and pretends they are alive for her own amusement and for showing off.
  • Alice's alternate palette from Scarlet Weather Rhapsody resembles Hina-Ichigo, a doll from the manga series Rozen Maiden. In Touhou Hisoutensoku, she has palettes resembling the other Rozen Maiden dolls: Suiseiseki, Souseiseki, Suigintou, Shinku, Kanaria, and Kirakishou. Add the fact that, in Rozen Maiden, the aforementioned dolls are battling for the title of "Alice", the perfect doll.
  • Alice is the only boss who appears 3 times in a single stage: Twice as a midboss and the third as the actual boss of stage 3 in Perfect Cherry Blossom.
  • According to Aya Shameimaru during her interview with Eirin Yagokoro, Alice has been a recurring customer of Eirin's, coming to see her to buy a medicine she developed called Kochoumugan (Butterfly Dream Pill). The medicine guarantees its imbiber to have pleasant dreams once they fall asleep, and was even featured in an article in Aya's newspaper. The reason for purchasing this medicine or even what kinds of dreams Alice is trying to have were never revealed, but instead are left purely to speculation. However, this might be a reference to "Alice in Wonderland", from which the concept of her character is derived.
  • Because Alice, unlike Marisa, is much more interested in strategy and hates having to win a fight from sheer overwhelming power, she always holds back even if it means losing.
  • Her Mystic Square stage 3 title "Girl of Death" may be a Megami Tensei reference as there is a demon in the game known as Alice based on the Alice in Wonderland story that is known by the same title.
  • Alice may be related to the story of Dolls in Pseudo Paradise. A big connection between the two involve how one of the honest men died from being "nailed to a tree" despite being inside, relating to Alice's article in Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red about her nailing straw effigies to trees. Other connections include how the men stumble upon a "Western-style building deep within the forest" and how the culprit was a "beautiful blonde girl", both of which relate to Alice.

Fandom

  • Because of Shinki's dialog in Mystic Square where she mentions that everything in Makai is her creation, it is thought that Alice is Shinki's daughter (although this definition would also extend to the other Makai residents). However, there's been no further mention of this since then, and Perfect Memento in Strict Sense states that Alice was once a human who became a youkai magician. It is unknown whether this is a retroactive change of continuity, merely a mistake by Hieda no Akyuu, or if fans were mistaken from the beginning when thinking Alice was Shinki's daughter. Since there has yet to be any official statement by ZUN, this is merely speculation. However, it is interesting to note that her title is "Witch of Death," as Mystic Square is heavily inspired by Paradise Lost, in which Death is the son of Satan.
  • In Imperishable Night's character settings txt, since it said "she spends most of her time alone," it is easy to link it with the image that she surrounds herself with moving dolls, "distracting her loneliness with dolls." In derivative works this has sometimes been taken to the extreme, and she is sometimes portrayed as left out or bullied by other characters.
  • Alice is often portrayed in fanon as having an obsession for dolls. In some doujin works, she is often depicted making or playing with dolls. It is also widely assumed that she makes dolls of other characters for fun (such as putting on a puppet show with them). This might be somewhat official, as she has at least made dolls representing the Three Fairies of Light and used those to mock them in Strange and Bright Nature Deity. She has also used them, in some doujin, like voodoo dolls in a more sadistic manner.
  • Despite being mistreated often in fanworks (or perhaps because of it), Alice is one of the most popular characters.
  • Likewise in fanworks, because of her perceived cold exterior and cowardly true persona, she is frequently depicted as a down-on-her-luck tsundere. In other cases, she's been depicted as a yandere.
  • In fanworks, the PC-98 version of Alice is commonly referred to as "Lolice" (ロリス) due to the fact that she appears much younger in Mystic Square.
  • Alice is known to be associated ("coupled") with Mobile Suit Gundam's Zaku II model in some fan works. The established coupling name is "Zaku-Alice is my justice" (ザクアリが俺のジャスティス zaku ari ga ore no zyasutisu). It became popular in a Touhou comic on pixiv drawn by Kopo (コーポ).[7]
    • There has also been some comparisons between Alice and the Ex-S Gundam or S Gundam, mainly the colors, its ALICE system (with the final goal having it pilot a suit on its own), and its incoms (which offer all-range attacks). There are a few fanarts highlighting this. The relation appears to be incidental (The MS debuted in 1988, some time before ZUN started on Touhou)

Alice Margatroid

The stage 3 boss, kinda ordinary magician.
Mainly she possess the ability to handle magic.

She is a versatile magician, that has no specific strong or weak point in any area. If you ask me, she is similar to Marisa, or rather I'd say a youkai version of Marisa.

Alice has an obsession with collecting things as well, and has the habit of collecting magic items, especially magic books. As they both share the same hobby, she often clashes with Marisa so their relation is like loggerheads. Most recently, she is interested in collecting dolls that have a story associated with them.

She had no evident reason to attack Reimu and company. They were chosen for the target of her magic because they were there. Dominating the enemy with overwhelming power is not fun at all for Alice, so she always sees her opponent's reaction and tries to fight with power that exceeds the opponent by a hair. Even if she loses, she doesn't show her full power.

That's because she thinks it would be the end of the rope for her if she lost with full power. In this aspect, her personality is somewhat similar to Reimu.

   生粋の魔法使いさん。見た目は人間と殆ど同じだが、人間ではない。
  所謂、人妖のたぐいである。

   彼女の家には所狭しと大量の人形が置かれている。その不気味さは、たまに迷い込む人間を恐怖に陥れる。不気味な森の中にある、余りにも異質な人形の家。それは、森がいくら不気味だとしても逃げ出したくなるのも当然の事だ。

   性格は、他人に無関心で、魔法に執着しやすい。強気を張っているが実は臆病な面もある。

   体術は至って普通。体を動かすのも魔法も使うのも人並みである。器用さはかなり高く、大量の人形をあたかも生きているかのように操る事が出来る。その器用さは幻想郷の中でもピカイチである。

*Seven-Colored Puppeteer

Alice Margatroid

Species: Magician
Location: Moderate sized house in the Forest of Magic (has no specific name)
Ability: Ability to handle magic

A pure magician. While her appearance is almost identical to humans, she is not one.

She is a kind of so called humanoid youkai.

Her house is crammed with a lot of dolls. The sight is so spooky that it scares rare visitors away. The house of dolls is strangest even in the forest of the bizarre. It's no wonder that they tend to run away from there.

Her personality is indifferent to others, and is easily attached to magic. She puts on a confident attitude, but she actually also has a timid side.

She is quite average in melee fighting. Both her physical strength and magic powers are average. Instead of that she has very high skillfulness, which enables her to control many dolls as if they're living beings. This skillfulness is among the finest among all of Gensokyo.

  基本的に自分から出かける事は少ないが、今回はしぶしぶ。

  魔法の森に住み、魔法使いで収集家、と魔理沙と共通点が多いが、魔理沙は人間、アリスは魔法使いという決定的な違いがある。

  ちなみに、魔法の森に生えるきのこを好んで使う、使わない、の違いもある。

  もちろんアリスは使わない方。だからという訳では無いが、二人は仲が悪い。

*Seven-Colored Puppeteer, Alice Margatroid

A magician living in the Forest of Magic.

She possess the ability to use magic. Puppetry is a type of magic too.

She rarely goes out by herself, but she had no other choice this time.

She has many similarities to Marisa, namely living in the Forest of Magic, being a magician and having an obsession with collecting things.

However, they have an absolute difference in that Alice is a magician as a species while Marisa is a human magician.

Other than that, they're also different in using forest's mushroom as preference or not.

Of course, Alice is the one who doesn't like using them. Because of that and other things, they're on bad terms.

Magic is her weapon. A magician's magic is always originally developed by the magician.

Notes
She teams with Marisa this time.
Normal speed only applies when she is used as a solo character.
Her laser penetrates and lasts as long as the player wishes, so it's unexpectedly strong. Good against both bosses and weaklings.
It's her doll that is shooting the laser though.
Recommended for those who want to be done quickly.

The greatest difference between Alice and Marisa is that Marisa is a human of magician occupation whereas Alice is a magician as a species.

You might imagine magicians as being indoor-type people; in Alice's case, you'd be right. She spends most of her time alone, and the forest is a good place for that. The forest is quite humid, however, and her dolls will become damaged without her constant care. Because of this, she's currently planning to make a doll that will automatically take care of other dolls.

A puppeteer that lives in the forest.

She felt something odd about the geyser that erupted, but since youkai prefer not to go underground she worried over what to do. That's when she noticed that Marisa was especially interested in the geyser, so she convinced Marisa to investigate the underground for her. She told her that investigating the hot spring would be a fun game, and pointed her towards the source of the geyser. She also made her carry dolls that had Yukari's remote control devices in them.
