Alice: Alice has grown up since her last adventures in Wonderland. She is now an older, dark-brown haired young woman with emerald green eyes. At a young age, following her second adventure, she was orphaned when her parents were burned alive in an accidental fire caused by her cat Dinah. Others say the black kitten featured in her second adventure had done the deed. Afterwards, she fell into a catatonic state, and was condemned to Rutledge Asylum for treatment. There she remained for roughly 10 years (as alluded to in the game's complementary casebook), faced with her own survivor's guilt, and mistreatment by other patients at Rutledge. One night the White Rabbit comes to her, and tells her she must return to Wonderland to undo the wicked deformities brought on by the dictatorship of the malevolent Queen of Hearts. It is revealed later that by overthrowing the Queen of Hearts, Alice will not only save Wonderland, but her own sanity as well. This is evident when, in the aftermath of her victory, Wonderland and its inhabitants can be seen reverting to their original forms, and Alice leaving the sunny gates of Rutledge Asylum accompanied by her cat and carrying a packed suitcase.
Cheshire cat: The Cheshire Cat is Alice's main ally and principal companion in Wonderland. He often speaks in riddles and gives cryptic and sometimes nonsensical advice. He has an emaciated, almost skeletal appearance, wears an earring and appears to have undergrown incisors. The player can summon the Cheshire Cat at almost any time in the game by pressing a key, but his help is limited to repeating one of his limited stock of phrases. He is decapitated on the Queen of Hearts's orders as he was about to reveal Alice some information, but, confusingly, can still be summoned afterwards.
The white Rabbit: The White Rabbit is responsible for returning Alice to Wonderland. He is first seen as Alice's soft toy, then becomes something that looks vaguely like the John Tenniel illustration, only more shriveled and corpse-like. One characteristic of the White Rabbit that has not changed is his constant effort of punctuality, and he still always seems to be two steps ahead of Alice. When Alice is chasing him in the Village of the Doomed, he shrinks and goes through a hole. Alice follows him by shrinking herself with a hand-made potion shortly after. They meet again later in the Wonderland Woods, where he tells her to find Caterpillar. Later, he is killed by the Mad Hatter after being crushed flat under the Hatter's foot. Like all other characters murdered throughout the story, the White Rabbit is restored when Alice regains her sanity, following the death of the Queen of Hearts. Like a lot of the characters, the White Rabbit seems to be the Wonderland equivalent of Alice's doctor at Rutledge Asylum.
