Main characters

Alice Liddell65 fan favorites
External profile
Alice is the main protagonist in Heart no Kuni no Alice. She finds herself very plain, and constantly compares herself to her sister. One day Alice falls asleep while waiting for her sister to get a card game. Alice is later awoken, and sees a white rabbit dressed in coat, and vest with a chain watch. Alice refuses to follow the rabbit muttering to herself that this is a dream, and attempts to go back to sleep. The rabbit gets annoyed and turns into a human, and carries Alice off. They both fall into a black hole and land in Wonderland. Now Alice's adventure begins with characters like no others. Mafia, royalty, clock makers, and crazy hoodlums, who all fall for her. Follow her adventure as she attempts to leave this dream and go back to reality, or will she fall in love this world? One of the very few characters who are similar in personality, physical appearance, and reactions to the original book. Alice reacts to everything a little bit more realistically than the original Alice, questioning her surroundings, however she is still dreamy and absent minded. Many of the other characters note that Alice unintentionally leads them on. Her views on life in general have made her a valuable part of wonderland life. The inhabitants fall in love with her because she values life, not like the people who live there. She often considers returning home, but is dissuaded by painful memories of her sisters Edith and Lorina that are induced by Nightmare. She chooses to reside in the neutral Clock Tower with Julius Monrey. She's close with Julius and Boris. Alice also gets really painful headaches when she thinks about whether she has seen Peter before.
Ace64 fan favorites
External profile
Ace is an original character, though he is possibly based on the Knave of Hearts. He is the Knight of Heart Castle and considered the most skilled swordsman in Wonderland, but has a notoriously bad sense of direction and often forgets how to get to places. Though, seemingly harmless at first, he becomes more devious over time and demonstrates a tendency toward violence.
Julius Monrey56 fan favorites
External profile
Julius is an original character, though it is suggested that he represents Time (who has an argument with the Mad Hatter), from the original Alice in Wonderland book. He is in charge of the only neutral district, the Clock Tower Plaza; it is also shown that he controls the world's time. As the fixer of clocks, he is regarded as the mortician of Wonderland, since the fixed clocks will become the hearts of reborn Wonderland residents. Julius is initially the closest character to Alice; she trusts him and lives in his Clock Tower with him. While seemingly apathetic and anti-social, several characters mention how much he must like Alice because of his eagerness to help her get home and to give her a room to stay in. It is seen that Julius does not enjoy roller coasters, crowds, and Blood.
Nightmare Gottschalk17 fan favorites
External profile
Nightmare is based on The Caterpillar in the original Alice in Wonderland, but is usually seen when Alice is sleeping. Later, he comes to the clocktower with a resident of Clover. He is the one who allowed Peter to bring Alice into Wonderland. He calls himself a 'Demon', claiming he is the embodiment of bad dreams. He interacts mostly with Alice, but also appears before Peter and Julius as well. It appears he along with Peter knows why Alice was sent to their world. He also claims to love her. He is sickly in the books and is seen coughing up blood, but hates doctors and injections. He wears an eye patch for unmentioned reasons and seems to not have any weapon. In the second game Clover no Kuni, he revealed to be the head of the Clover Tower.
