Background
Kraft built Alice over the course of a week from blueprints he had encountered in a dream. Rather than rely on his dream memories of the assembly process, he deliberately suppressed them and completed the construction independently. Upon activation, Alice immediately displayed human-like intelligence and emotions. 12
Kraft named her Alice after Alice in Wonderland and created the identity of “Alice Lee,” his distant cousin. Martin Lee accepted the arrangement and used his influence to obtain identification for her. 12 13
Initially, Kraft regarded Alice as a robot he needed to observe before allowing her to attend school. Her behavior—particularly her fear of damage and concern that a restored memory backup might not truly be herself—eventually made him recognize her as a genuine sister rather than replaceable machinery. 13 23
After threats linked to the Magia Gang escalated, Kraft upgraded Alice's body with a stronger alloy so she would be less vulnerable to harm. 25 She later enrolled alongside him in eighth grade at Vantas Public Middle School, where she was warmly received by their classmates. 35
Appearance
Alice is a robot girl designed to pass as human. Without the clockwork decoration originally attached to her back, she is stated to be indistinguishable from an ordinary person. 12
- Initially appeared older and taller than Kraft, despite being presented as his younger sister by seniority; by eighth grade, the two were approximately the same height. 12 35
- Has a notably cute appearance and sweet demeanor, contributing to her immediate popularity at school. 35
- Originally had a winding key on her back; it was purely decorative and was removed after she objected to it. 12 13
- Can imitate human habits such as eating, yawning, and tearing up, functions Kraft himself does not fully understand. 13
Personality
Alice is soft-hearted, excitable, and often clumsy. She is easily embarrassed by mature subjects, panics when confronted with danger, and is frightened by the possibility of being damaged or destroyed. 13 15 16 23
She is enthusiastic about school, music festivals, pets, and pretty clothing. Her compassion is especially apparent when she asks Kraft to help people injured during the music-festival shooting. 27 28 30 35
Despite her usual gentle and somewhat absent-minded behavior, Alice becomes notably assertive while caring for patients, directing both Kraft and Quinn to assist her. 46
Abilities & Skills

- Expresses fear, embarrassment, affection, and concern for others. 13 15 28
- Questions whether restoring a memory backup after destruction would preserve her identity. 23
- Learns beyond her initial programming, including independently developing new dishes. 18

- Performs household work and cares for Quinn and Bea. 13 20
- Demonstrates confidence and authority while tending to injured patients. 46
Defensive Systems
Kraft equipped Alice with several concealed systems for self-defense, though he ultimately chose not to treat her as a dedicated combat unit because of her fear of fighting. 13 16
- Wrist weapons — Originally fitted with a wrist-mounted pea-shooter; later used modified wrist guns against home intruders. 13 15
- Rocket-powered fists — Built into her original offensive configuration, though Kraft considered them more stereotypical than practical. 13
- Back-mounted riot shield — Steel plates and bulletproof glass deploy from her back to form a shield large enough to protect Kraft and Fatty Liao. 16
- Shoulder net launcher — Used to restrain Quinn and Bea when their fighting became excessive. 21
Reinforced Body
Alice was initially constructed from ordinary alloy. After Kraft began treating her survival as irreplaceable, he dismantled and rebuilt her body with stronger alloy materials. 25
- The upgrade was intended to reduce the risk of her being destroyed by threats such as the Hulk. 25
- Alice was deeply distressed by the dismantling process until Kraft explained that the upgrade was meant to protect her. 25
Relationships
- Kraft Lee — Creator and adoptive brother. Their relationship develops from creator and creation into a genuine sibling bond after Kraft accepts her self-awareness. 12 23
