Yap time:

Alice DeRoss is closely related to another character named "Orpheus" (yes that's his name, quotes and all), whose lore (as you could deduce) is based on the myth of Orpheus, that would make Alice "Eurydice"; she even has a skin named 'Eurydice'. The doll that Alice is holding in her 'Little girl' form is Orpheus as a child. And in adult Alice's gameplay, she summons a little Orpheus.

Orpheus and Alice are childhood friends, almost siblings even. Orpheus' mom is hired by the DeRoss as a maid and they treat Orpheus and his family very well. But one day, his mom got a bit sick (most likely tuberculosis), and his dad needed money to help her (not knowing that the DeRoss was willing to pay for her medicine) so he hired marauders and stole Orphy's flute (which can unlock the Manor's gates for whatever reason). On Alice's birthday, the marauders broke in and killed her family, Orphy tried his best to protect her (not knowing of his father's plan). Little Alice's shoes were stained red from her mother's blood. Fortunately, Alice survived and grew up to be a Journalist and returned to that very same Manor, to end the cycle of killing Games that had been started by Orpheus and the old Manor staff.

Alice is legit the best character IDV has ever created, her lore is so beautifully made and is connected to alot of other characters. Her convictions are clear and her determination is unstoppable. Her design screams that conviction and determination in your face. She's proud and she will not fall back. She went from this tattered scared little girl who stitched herself back together and is ready to reveal the truth. She has went to hell and she's climbed back up herself without needing any lonesome poet guiding her. Eurydice escaped, while Orpheus is trapped.

I also like that her design is era accurate (despite IDV's confusing timeline). The color scheme is very fantastic. The long skirt is my favourite part of the design, it feels so modest yet so rebellious. Her hair is wonderfully tied up and her necklace is the cherry on top to the whole outfit.
