Alice Allusion: Difference between revisions

 

Conversely, references to ''Alice in Wonderland'' can be listed even if they don't specifically use the name "Alice", since they are not a distinct trope.

 

== Anime & Manga ==

* Alice Mizuki from ''[[Serial Experiments Lain]]'', as [http://www.cjas.org/~leng/alice.htm confirmed] by [[Word of God]]: Writer Chiaki J. Konaka states "Alice" is Lewis Carol's (sic). I often use the "Alice" as the metaphor in my scenarios. Alice in "lain" is same.

* An episode of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh GX]]'' has a creepy doll named Alice.

* Alice Carroll from ''[[Aria (Manga)|Aria]]'' -- look at her full name, even.

* The first episode of the ''[[Pet Shop of Horrors]]'' anime (she doesn't show up until later in the manga) features a white rabbit named Alice, who is given to a pair of grieving parents whose only daughter died of a drug overdose. {{spoiler|The "new" Alice also ends up dying, in a truly horrific way.}}

* Reiji Arisu from ''[[Namco X Capcom (Video Game)|Namco X Capcom]]'', somewhat unusual since he's '''male'''. He and his partner Xiaomu are the only members of Shinra organization the player actually sees. Their job is to deal with the evil Ouma organization, which always involves inter-dimensional travel. Both of them later appear as major characters in ''[[Super Robot Wars]] OG Saga [[Endless Frontier]]'', where almost (or perhaps literally) every character has some fairy-tale namesake, but Reiji's is the only one [[Lampshade Hanging]] by the protagonist.

* Alice, the mascot character of '''[[Alice Soft]]''.

* ''[[American McGee's Alice]]''. The protagonist is implied to be the one who went down the rabbit hole in the first place, but considering she is in an insane asylum and literally battling through Wonderland to get her sanity back, who truly knows?

** The sequel, ''[[Alice Madness Returns]]'', does state that her last name is Liddell, in a sequence taking place ''outside'' Wonderland. So she's probably the real thing.

* Lots in ''[[Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game)|Kingdom of Loathing]]''. In addition to the Looking Glass Clan VIP item, which takes you to Wonderland, there is also the Cheshire Bat, the Wild Hare (which carries a pocketwatch), a Mad Hatrack, a Frumious Bandersnatch, the Alice's Army card game (where the cards take the form similar to the soldiers from the disney film).

** This is because each month new special donation content is added, and this usually has a theme related to the month. March = March Hare = Alice in Wonderland is the usual March theme.

* The ''[[Bio Shock 2 (Video Game)|Bio Shock 2]]'' ARG "There Is Something In The Sea" introduces us to Orrin Oscar [[Meaningful Name|Lutwidge]] ([[I Have Many Names|AKA]] [[Theme Naming|Orson Orville Liddel, Ogdred O. Lewis and RØd Killian Quain]]), an ''[[Alice in Wonderland (Literature)|Alice in Wonderland]]'' obsessed polymath trickster who found out about the existence of Rapture and became possibly the only normal person from the surface to visit it and return to tell the tale.

* Alice Jones, the shy, introverted (and later in the game, decidedly creepy) ''[[Survival of the Fittest]]'' version 3 character.

* Alice from ''[http://www.livingwithinsanity.com/index/ Living with Insanity]''.

* Alice Creek in ''[http://jackalyn.deviantart.com/art/Dark-Mirror-LLC-Chapter-1-162774609 Dark Mirror LLC]''.
