Powers
Alice's mind is both a powerful and fragile tool to use. That being said, inside of her Wonderland, she has access to a variety of "powers" and abilities.
The first is, of course, creation and manipulation of the world inside her psyche. She has created Wonderland and runs it on her own. The state of Wonderland is constantly affected by her own mental state; should she descend into madness, Wonderland becomes warped and twisted. Her canon point has her fully accepting her life of not-so-normal and madness, and so Wonderland has bled itself into the real world but solely for her own. More on this later.
Her actual abilities on her own in-game are combative ones and those that can ensure her survival.
- High-jump and free-floating.
- Dodging: She turns into several blue butterflies and can dodge out of the way of attacks. It's a two-second sort of dodge.
- Weapons expert. She can wield a short blade, a metal hobby-horse, and a small rabbit bomb. Most of these weapons will not be coming with her, but the inherent capability to fight will.
- Shrinking. She can shrink herself down to fit in someone's palm at will and can stay in this state for a long while.
- Hysteria: When she is in danger of dying, Alice has a last-ditch ability that allows her to attack with lightning speed and she can kill most opponents in seconds. It's not a pretty sight.
In order for any of these things to happen, though, her basic abilities would have to come in to alter her physical form and all that she is. As time goes on, this will begin to affect her immediate surroundings. Her bedroom will become odd with flowers and mushrooms popping up. What she sees in her world-Wonderland will affect the real world around her, but only when she begins to drift and daydream. She will be incapable of changing any part of the world permanently; within minutes or hours, the effects will disappear.
Of note: anything caught out in the Darkness will immediately warp and twist into something hellish, as the Darkness changes the world. And by morning, those things will be gone.
To expand on this a little, because some of you reading this might be going "huwha?", let me provide some pictures!
Alice's mind has been warped and she's retreated so many times into it for coping reasons that her vision of reality is skewed. When she walks around the Port, it looks a lot like this. Beautiful, right? That's when she's mentally stable...as much as one like her can be.
When things begin to stress her, she will see her environments differently. Over time, she will be able to change her surroundings to reflect this. Something beautiful will become corrupted and hellish. The ground will begin to decay, the buildings will be warped near her, and you never really know what you'll see. (You really don't want to end up seeing the tentacles, okay guys.)
