History

Summoning and early companionship

Li Pu summons Alice with a Goddess Summon Card while seeking a way to heal Tifa. She appears carrying a flower basket and initially assumes he has ordered flowers. 79

Although Alice possesses a Prayer Magic Crystal, she cautions that she cannot cure every illness. Its usual activation relies on a rage-like gauge rather than ordinary magic, leaving its function uncertain in Li Pu's world. 79 82 She nevertheless agrees to accompany him and accepts his invitation to spend time together. 80

Alice soon becomes part of Li Pu's group. Her healing, support, and magical potential are valued especially because Tifa has unusually poor defense and resistance despite her offensive strength. 69 81

Ancient heritage

As a child, Alice desperately searched a cold city for help when her mother, Ifalna, became ill. Most people ignored or mistreated her until Li Pu travelled back in time to help reunite her with Ifalna. Before dying, Ifalna stopped time long enough to warn Li Pu of Jenova and of possible changes in Alice's future. 304

Alice later reveals that she is an Ancient descended from the Cetra. Shinra monitored and imprisoned her for her bloodline, taking her blood regularly. Her mother's seal, intended to open when Alice turned eighteen, unlocks early after the events involving her younger self; it leaves her with Ifalna's memories and Mako, as well as the burden of being the only remaining Ancient. 306

Conflict with Jenova

During the battle against Jenova and Sephiroth, Alice supports Li Pu alongside Tifa. The Venus Divine Spark upgrades her to Absolute information depth and gives her Absolute Purity and Beauty. 311 Afterward, a faint divine halo appears behind her head. 312

Appearance

Alice first appears as a lively young flower seller with a basket of flowers. 79 Her appearance is not fixed: by using a white Magic Crystal from her headdress, she can shift between her usual girlish form, a mature form, and a childlike form. 306

• Carries a flower basket when selling flowers. 79
• Uses a white Magic Crystal set in her headdress for transformation magic. 306
• Can produce and wield a two-meter-long staff. 81 92
• Gains a faintly radiant halo after achieving Absolute information depth. 312

Personality

Beneath her youthful manner, Alice has the gentle heart of an older sister. She is cheerful, positive, bold, and intellectually inclined, with a playful charm that frequently surfaces around Li Pu. 79 She actively pursues what she wants instead of remaining trapped in disappointment or passivity. 81

Her warmth is mechanically reflected in her Little Sun personality trait, which offsets the severe morale loss caused by Tifa's Strong Dependence trait. 302 She is particularly sensitive to Tifa's feelings and remains protective of her friendship with her. 92 306

Alice can also be teasing, possessive, and calculating. She uses flirtation and sleep magic in an attempt to take control of a situation with Li Pu, then responds with surprise when he counters her spell. 297 Her confidence often conceals anxiety over her fate, Jenova, and the isolation imposed by her Ancient bloodline. 303 306

Abilities & Skills

White Magic and Healing

Alice is a mystical support mage capable of healing and restorative magic.

• Her Prayer Magic Crystal is intended for healing, though Alice states that it cannot cure all diseases. 79
• Prayer does not activate through ordinary magic; its normal activation requires a rage-like gauge that is absent or unclear in Li Pu's world. 82
• She is unable to cure the poison affecting Laura and Jingjing. 348
• Alice's former headdress was a valuable defensive artifact, but it was given to Tifa to compensate for Tifa's weak resistance to harmful effects. 348

Minor Summoning

Alice can perform magical summons with her staff.

• She summons a large Mechanical Moguri to comfort someone who is crying. 92
• Li Pu considers the Mechanical Moguri powerful enough to qualify as a Goddess-level combat unit if converted into fighting strength. 92

Transformation Magic

Using the white Magic Crystal in her headdress, Alice can alter her outward form.

• She can change between her ordinary youthful appearance, a mature form, and a childlike form. 306
• Her transformation is tied to the Magic Crystal rather than a permanent physical change. 306

Sleep Magic

Alice can cast a spell that induces drowsiness and sleep.

• She conceals a white staff beneath a sheet before casting the spell. 297
• Li Pu resists the effect by activating Mercury Time, demonstrating that the spell can be countered by sufficiently powerful abilities. 297

Absolute Purity and Beauty

Alice gains the Absolute Trait Absolute Purity and Beauty after her information depth reaches Absolute level.

• The trait's specific function is not disclosed. 311
• Its awakening is accompanied by a faint divine halo. 312

Equipment / Items

• Flower basket — Used during her flower-selling introduction. 79
• Prayer Magic Crystal — A healing-focused Materia with an uncertain activation condition in the current world. 79 82
• White Magic Crystal — Set in her headdress; enables her appearance-changing magic. 306
• Two-meter-long staff — Used for summoning and spellcasting. 81 92

Relationships

• Li Pu — Her summoner and romantic partner. Alice agrees to accompany him soon after being summoned, later confesses her love, and gradually learns to rely on him rather than face her destiny alone. 79 80 306
• Tifa Lockhart — Her best friend. Alice is summoned partly to help heal Tifa, supports her emotionally, and worries about pursuing Li Pu behind Tifa's back. 79 92 306
• Ifalna — Her mother. Ifalna's memory seal later grants Alice her memories and Mako, while her final warning identifies Jenova as the true enemy. 304 306
• Shinra — Her captor and persecutor. Shinra monitors, imprisons, and repeatedly draws Alice's blood because of her Ancient lineage. 306
• A2 — A2 regards Alice as gentle and kind, and supports Li Pu's efforts to help her rather than trust Scarlet. 299
