Canon scope: Alice's pre-timeskip profile. Her seven years in the Tidemother Reaches belong to a later era.
Alaster finds her inside the cultists' experimentation ruins. The only identification she has is A12935, printed on her tattered clothes. She is weak enough to collapse and cannot give him a name. He breaks open her cage, introduces himself, and asks permission before carrying her out.
Jin'var brings Alaster and the child to the Black Meridian hideout so she can recover. No decision about an orphanage is made before that. At this point in Season One, she is more than a witness: she is the surviving proof that children have been taken and experimented on. She will eventually be called Alice, but the moment she receives that name and the exact dialogue remain unwritten.
Alice comes from Asmar and is a limiter-bound mage with an immense natural magical reserve. The bands are there for a reason. They restrain what she can release; they do not supply the control or experience she has yet to develop. Her curiosity draws her toward things adults would rather leave unexplained, even as she is still learning where she belongs.
Her halo contains a hidden key connected to the Sea Goddess Leviathan. It is also bound to a safeguard that Ren'ō deliberately removed from his own memory. The key is not ornamental, and her divine connection does not mean she can use her full potential without limits or consequences.
During Nyxara's awakening, Nysera sends Alice and Hikari Starbright to the Tidemother Reaches. They spend seven years there surviving and studying. Their relationship and Alice's abilities after that interval must be recorded separately from her Black Briar-era condition.
Continuity notes: Hikari is her companion through that displacement; Nysera causes it; Ren'ō's forgotten safeguard is tied to the halo. The base design must retain the limiter bands and key. Her established debut age is 12 and her height is 4'1". Her precise base-era spell list, release costs, and full outfit still need consolidation in the master character record.
