- Strange Girl: Alice spends a lot of time talking to herself in both books, including giving herself advice, has an extended monologue to a cat, pretends to be many people at once, and once 'frightened her nurse by saying 'Let's pretend you're a pork bone and I'm a hungry hyena!' She's probably considered a bit odd in the 'real world,' but once she gets to Wonderland she becomes the Only Sane Man.

_-_c03757_06_(cropped).jpg)
- Cheshire Cat Grin: The Trope Namer
- Reality Warper
- Trickster Archetype: In the Disney film; and what is more, many other versions of this character follow it as well, having the cat get Alice in trouble, but never being truly mean-spirited, just mysterious.
The Hatter
- Expy: He and the Hare appear in Through The Looking Glass as the White King's messengers, Hatta and Haigha.
- The Mad Hatter: Trope Namer.
- Nice Hat: His iconic and impressive top hat. He's probably borrowing it from his inventory, as it has a price tag of "10/6", representing a price of ten shillings and sixpence. That's about $100 today when adjusted for inflation, so it likely is a pretty nice hat.
The March Hare
- Heterosexual Life Partners: With The Hatter.
The Dormouse
- Composite Character: With the Mouse in the two Disney films. Though the only trait from the Mouse he gets is his fear of cats.
- Sleepyhead
The Queen of Hearts
- Composite Character: With the Red Queen, notably in the Tim Burton film.
- God Save Us From the Queen: "Off with their heads!"
The King of Hearts

- One of them is more so in the 1985 TV movie, while the rest is more good-natured.
- Beauty Is Bad

The Jabberwock
- Ascended Extra: He started off as a character within a poem, but in most adaptations he becomes an actual character.
- Our Dragons Are Different
The Red Queen

- The High Queen
The White Queen
 |
...in another moment the White Queen came running wildly through the wood, with both arms stretched out wide, as if she were flying.... |
 |
- Cloudcuckoolander: In-universe, SHE'S considered a bit strange.
- Cool Old Lady
- The Cuckoolander Was Right: Alice didn't know that her seemingly nonsensical shouts during their boating trip was actually real rowing jargon.
The Red King
- All Just a Dream and Schrödinger's Butterfly: The more obvious example provides the page quote.
- Flat Character: Movie. He's got a voice actor, but most people assume he's the wizard, who's credited two seconds later.
- Heavy Sleeper
The White King
The Gnat
