CHARACTER OVERVIEW

</aside>

<aside>

PERSONALITY AND CORE DRIVE

</aside>

Alice carries catastrophic potential inside the posture of someone still learning whether she is allowed to exist without apologizing for it. Curiosity keeps pulling her toward truths older people fear.

<aside>

APPEARANCE AND DESIGN

</aside>

Her defining visual elements are the limiter bands and the key held within her halo. Exact age, height, and full base outfit remain to be locked in the character sheet.

<aside>

ABILITIES AND COMBAT

</aside>

A naturally immense magical reserve is restrained by limiter bands. Her halo carries a key connected to the Sea Goddess Leviathan and to a safeguard Ren'ō deliberately removed from his own memory. Exact spell list and release costs remain under development.

<aside>

ROLE IN THE STORY

</aside>

Alice is both a vulnerable young mage and a structural key to Astra Noctrya's hidden cosmic safeguards. During Nyxara's awakening, Nysera sends Alice and Hikari into the Tidemother Reaches, where seven years of survival and study change both of them.

Key Relationships

Hikari Starbright — displaced companion and long-term partner in survival; Sea Goddess Leviathan — divine connection; Ren'ō — unknowingly linked through the halo safeguard; Nysera — responsible for redirecting her during the awakening.

CANON LOCKS

</aside>

• Do not treat the halo key as a decorative charm.
• Her power must remain limited by bands, control, knowledge, and consequence.
• Base-era Alice and seven-years-later Alice should be documented separately when the later design is fully locked.

SEASON ONE CANON LOCK — DISCOVERY

</aside>

• Alaster discovers her in the Black Briar experimentation ruins while she is known only by A12935, the designation printed on her tattered clothing.
• She is weak enough to collapse and has no name she can give him.
