Power Progression

Stage / Realm / Level	Chapter	Notes

Background / History

Alice is Andrea’s younger cousin and the daughter of Great Mage Kaydelin. Though only sixteen when she first visits Smith’s Alchemy Shop, she has received a traditional mage education focused on making magic “higher, faster, stronger.” 7

She serves as both Deputy Head of the Royal Mage Corps and Vice President of the nearly unused White Hawk Mage Guild branch, where Kaydelin is president. 14 Her magical sensitivity lets her immediately notice Edward’s advancement to Full Alchemist. 14

Alice later learns that Sophia Tiro, the Fifth Rank Shadow Queen and head of the Tiro family, is her grandmother. Sophia brings her to Ailande for formal instruction and positions her as the family’s future heir. 293 376

Appearance

Alice is a young mage with wine-red long hair. She is frequently dressed in elaborate, fashionable clothing and magical accessories rather than practical adventuring attire. 16 139

• Wore a pink princess puff dress, matching parasol, soft-brimmed hat, and pink bow during a winter outing. 16
• Uses a shiny red fire-type magic pendant to keep warm despite light clothing in winter. 16
• Later receives a formal thirteen-layer princess dress for a visit to the Imperial Palace. 465
• Carries an exquisite magic wand when casting spells. 94

Personality

Alice is intensely curious, outspoken, and quick to question anything she does not understand. Her curiosity regularly pushes her toward new discoveries, from Edward’s alchemy inventions to ancient underground ruins and magic-array mechanisms. 7 95 110

She has a strong appetite for pastries, hot pot, and novel foods, and initially agrees to assist Edward with a Teleportation Array largely in exchange for desserts. 15 26 She can be playful and teasing—especially toward Edward and Elwin—but becomes formal and sincere when she believes she has learned something important. 7 15

Despite calling herself invincible and a genius, Alice has limited real combat experience early on. When goblins ambush her, she panics and flees rather than casting a defensive or offensive spell. 332 334 Her time in Ailande under Sophia’s demanding regimen gradually makes her more disciplined and gives her a colder, more composed manner. 465 523

Abilities & Skills

Mage Spellcasting

Alice is a Formal Mage trained in elemental spells and conventional mage theory.

• Can use her wand to cast magic. 94
• Casts the Eagle Eye Technique to survey the West Border Wall from the air. 94
• Uses invisibility magic, though goblins can track her by scent despite it. 333
• Can contend with ordinary soldiers at sufficient range until her magic power is exhausted. 334
• Studies through daily spell recitation and memorization of the Elementary Elemental Spells Compendium. 465

Magical Sensitivity and Analysis

Alice is highly sensitive to magic power and has strong theoretical instincts.

• Detects Edward’s recent advancement immediately upon meeting him at the Mage Guild. 14
• Correctly deduces the principle behind Edward’s concealed Magic Array during an expedition. 95
• Questions unusual magic runes and hidden structures rather than accepting Edward’s explanations at face value. 94 204
• Her mental-power epiphany is triggered by Edward’s argument that alchemy should prioritize accessibility and usefulness, not merely power. 7

Meditation

Under Sophia Tiro’s guidance, Alice follows a strict program of meditation and spell study.

• Her improved mental power reduces her required sleep time. 465
• Sophia considers her capable of becoming a Great Magister, but insists that she train in Ailande rather than remain on the New Continent. 293

Equipment / Items

• Magic wand — her personal casting focus. 94
• Fire-type magic pendant — a costly red magical trinket that protects her from cold. 16
• Magic Book — used for study and, on one occasion, to hide her face while observing an event. 24
• Pearl Brooch — a personal brooch lost near the Duke’s Mansion and later recovered during the search for her. 283
• Spatial ring — a powerful ring and additional gifts received from Sophia Tiro. 294
• Magic Messenger — uses Edward’s messaging device enthusiastically, particularly for group chats and messages to Elwin. 326 332

Relationships

• Andrea — older cousin, protector, and frequent travel companion. Andrea carries Alice when she becomes tired, protects her during expeditions, and acts as her emotional support in Ailande. 110 376
• Kaydelin — mother and Great Mage; worries deeply when Alice disappears and helps oversee her mage career in White Eagle City. 139 281
• Sophia Tiro — grandmother, the Shadow Queen and Fifth Rank Great Magister. Sophia is affectionate but possessive, brings Alice to Ailande, and personally directs her harsh training. 293 378 465
• Edward Smith — friend, mentor-like alchemical influence, and frequent target of her teasing. His explanation of alchemy triggers her first documented epiphany; he later trusts her insight into his Magic Array. 7 95
• Elwin — close friend and fellow traveler. Alice comforts him after his famine oracle, regularly communicates with him, and becomes upset when he responds too late after her goblin encounter. 17 333
• Monica — companion in New Continent expeditions and hunts. Monica warns Alice to hide during the goblin encounter. 332
• Little Evil God — invisible companion who returns to play with Alice and intends to share stories with her. 374 617

Story Role / Major Arcs

Smith’s Alchemy Shop

Alice and Andrea visit Edward’s newly opened shop out of curiosity over its hot-pot aroma. Alice interrogates Edward about the multi-functional alchemy pot and its reduced-power magic array, then undergoes an epiphany after hearing his approach to practical alchemy. 6 7

She remains involved in the shop’s early milestones, eagerly attending the Alchemist Association plaque-hanging ceremony and the firecracker display. 26

Sea of Light and the Famine Oracle

Alice finds Elwin frozen by a devastating oracle of famine and disease, offering him comfort. She later tells Edward and Andrea about the vision while worrying over Elwin’s condition. 17 18

New Continent Exploration

Alice joins Edward, Andrea, Monica, and Elwin on investigations of border sites and Guoluo Muluo ruins. She helps assess Edward’s magical devices, explores the underground city, and proposes using the city as a future settlement site. 95 110 124

Her lack of field experience becomes evident when goblins discover her during a hunting trip and she flees in panic. 333 334

Disappearance and the Shadow Queen

Alice disappears from White Eagle City, prompting Andrea, Edward, Kaydelin, and Elwin to organize a citywide search. 280 281 The search leads to Sophia Tiro, who reveals herself as Alice’s grandmother and seeks to take her to Ailande for instruction. 293

Alice agrees to learn under Sophia, but insists on visiting her mother first. Edward’s intervention ultimately secures her temporary return to the New Continent before she travels to Ailande. 293 294

Tiro Family Heir

In Langdun City, Alice is seated beside Sophia at the Tiro family luncheon, visibly marking her position as future heir. She receives personal maids and a demanding daily schedule of meditation, spell recitation, and formal education. 376 378

The training produces rapid gains, advancing her to intermediate Formal Mage. 465

Trivia

• Alice considers Edward two academic years her junior and insists that he call her “Senior.” 15
• She is the first person in Edward’s circle to recognize the weakness of the first-generation magic messenger: every user can read each message, with no private-message or voice function. 326
• Edward judges Alice’s talent and luck as exceptional enough that she could become a Great Magister even without the unusual events surrounding White Eagle City. 21
