MEET THE SUSPECTS
The famous explorer of Wonderland, Alice fell down the rabbit hole while chasing the White Rabbit and ended up in a nonsensical world that defies description. Mild-mannered and proper, Alice is easily frustrated with the mad ravings of the residents of Wonderland, and claims to only want to return home, which is why it is so strange that she has embarked on a second visit to Wonderland! While easily offended herself, Alice can't help but continue offending those she meets in Wonderland, and is constantly scolded for her insolence. Add this to the scoldings she gives herself and Alice is a little girl who is constantly in trouble!
Alice's older sister Lorina is firm, but nurturing to her little sister. A girl who appreciates the conventions of society, Lorina believes that all girls should be tempered and focused – a stark contrast to her little sister, whose imagination is always running wild. In spite of her propriety, Lorina does seem to take amusement from her sister's silliness from time to time. She is soft-spoken, yet caring and wise.
The White Rabbit, wearing a waist coat and pocket watch, is famous for being late. Thanks to the powers of his magical pocket watch, this busy little rabbit is able to transcend Wonderland and roam freely in an alternate dimension called “the real world” - though his motivation for doing so is a mystery. Nervous and easily confused, the White Rabbit is the one who originally led Alice down the Rabbit Hole and into Wonderland as he raced to be on time for The Duchess – though the reason for his hurry was never clear. The rabbit wears a waistcoat and gloves and carries his magic pocket watch and a fan.
Once just known as "The Hatter", this humble yet eccentric hat maker ran a shop selling hats to the residents of Wonderland. While he still does business, recently his days are spent in a perpetual tea party he and his other crazy friends can't seem to escape - except, of course, when summoned by the Queen of Hearts, and even then, the tea party goes mobile. Aloof and nonsensical, the Hatter speaks in riddles, and after spending a bit of time with him, his mad ramblings actually begin to make sense. The Hatter wears a top hat with a tag attached marking the size of the hat, 10/6, which is for sale.
The so-called villain of Wonderland, The Queen of Hearts is famous for her penchant for ordering the beheading of all she meets. Even the slightest infraction can lead to a death sentence with the Queen in power, and if it not for her slightly more level-headed husband, the King of Hearts, there would scarce be any residents left in Wonderland to behead! A fan of croquet and tarts, this member of the monarchy is quick-tempered, but this wasn't always the case; she is called the Queen of Hearts because once she was the kindest person in Wonderland. Some speculate that power has gone to her head. Regardless, an invitation from the Queen of Hearts to the palace for a croquet match is a death sentence - to decline the invitation means beheading, to win the match results in beheading, and to make a mistake during the match also leads to beheading. The Queen of Hearts is a fan of yelling, and barks out orders to all around her, whether they make sense or not.
A man of few words, the King of Hearts has recently taken the throne of Wonderland alongside his wife, the Queen of Hearts. The two of them were recently appointed the new monarchy of Wonderland, after the abrupt departure of the previous queen. The King is mild-mannered, and since his wife has become obsessed with ordering the beheading of the residents of Wonderland, usually can't get a word in even if he had something to say! A diplomatic man, the King of Hearts is dedicated to restoring Wonderland to its previous glory. He is the judge for the Knave of Heart's trial, but mainly spends his time trying to stop his wife from beheading all the witnesses.
Contrary to her haggard illustration in the book, The Duchess is actually quite young and beautiful. Second in line for the throne of Wonderland, The Duchess lives in a humble house with her house maid, and often has tea and plays croquet with the Queen of Hearts. As such, she is doomed to execution at least once each week, but always seems to manage to find a way off the chopping block. With her cat, The Cheshire Cat at her side, The Duchess is a mysterious resident of Wonderland.
“Would you please tell me,” Alice asked The Duchess upon their meeting in Wonderland, “why your cat smiles like that?” The Duchess replied, “It's a Cheshire-Cat, and that's why.” The truth is, no one quite knows what makes the Cheshire Cat grin, but its wide, bright smile suggests it knows more than it lets on. Like a cat with a mouse, it seems to enjoy toying with the residents of Wonderland, appearing and disappearing at will - and sometimes only with part of its body intact! With the ability to levitate and disappear, it would seem the Cheshire Cat has some magic at its disposal. It speaks in long, drawn-out words and forms riddles, yet considering the other residents of Wonderland, The Cheshire Cat seems the sanest one in the land.
