action
The cynic Alice is told the story of Alice in Wonderland by her sister Lorina . Shortly afterwards Alice falls asleep in the garden. In her dream - she believes - the "white rabbit" Peter White appears to her, a man with white rabbit ears. Peter White kidnaps Alice through a hole in the ground into Wonderland, where he gives her a potion from a bottle. Then Peter disappears, leaving her the empty bottle.
The liquid forces Alice to take part in a game: every time she meets a resident of Wonderland, the bottle fills up a little. To get back home it has to be completely filled. Alice has to interfere in the affairs of the inhabitants of the Wonderland, which is ruled by a Mafia clan, the Queen of Hearts and the owner of an amusement park, who are enemies with each other. Alice embarks on a dangerous journey on which she encounters all kinds of bizarre characters.
Characters
- Alice Liddell ( ア リ ス ＝ リ デ ル )
- Alice Liddell is the protagonist of the Wonderful Wonder World game series . In contrast to the original, it is much more mature and realistic, but externally it is strongly based on the original. Since she has left her ex-boyfriend, she has no need to fall in love, although one Wonderlander after another confesses their love to Alice.
- Ace
- Ace is the assistant and a good friend of the watchmaker Julius Monrey. He is a knight of hearts and thus a subordinate of the queen of hearts. Ace is always in a good mood, but doesn't have a good sense of direction and gets lost all the time. Despite his cheerful appearance, he is a very serious, desperate character who is trying to break out of his role. He's a good fighter and carries a big sword.
- Blood Dupre ( ブ ラ ッ ド ＝ デ ュ プ レ )
- Blood Dupre is the embodiment of the Mad Hatter character from Alice in Wonderland . He is the leader of the hatter gang, a mafia clan. He resembles the ex-boyfriend of the main character Alice, but only outwardly. Blood Dupre is an ambivalent character. He is extremely charming, but quickly reaches for the machine gun. The Mafia boss can't stand boredom. He likes to drink black tea for life. His trademarks are a white jacket and an original hat.
- Dee and Dum
- Dee and Dum are sadistic twins based on Tweedledum and Tweedledee who stand as guards at the gates of Blood Dupre. They are very young, but for their age they have a pronounced preference for weapons of all kinds.
- Boris Airay ( ボ リ ス ＝ エ レ イ )
- The Cheshire Cat Boris Airay lives in the amusement park, merry go round belongs. He is very adventurous and loves puzzles and weapons. Boris is dressed in punk style and has a lot of piercings.
- Elliot March ( エ リ オ ッ ト ＝ マ ー チ )
- Elliot March is the March Bunny in Wonderful Wonder World . He is a member of the hatter gang led by Blood Dupre, who freed him from prison. Like Peter White, Elliot March has rabbit ears. Nevertheless, he is convinced that he is not a rabbit. His reasoning is simple: he doesn't like carrots, he'd just be crazy about carrot dishes.
- Julius Monrey
- The watchmaker Julius Monrey lives in the clock tower. This is the only neutral area in the entire wonderland. He explains the rules of the game to Alice and explains how Wonderland works. He is an introverted, calm, and down to earth character who rarely shows emotion. He is also called the undertaker because he has to fix the clock hearts of the Wunderlanders so that the game can continue. Without him, the wonderland would have had no residents for a long time, as everyone draws their arms very quickly.
- Mary Gowland
- Mary Gowland ( nicknamed Merry Go Round by the hat maker ) is ashamed of his name. Since Blood Dupre revealed this to the public, he and Mary have been enemies. He likes watchmaker Julius Monrey because he's one of the few who doesn't annoy him about his name. Mary is the owner of the amusement park in Wonderland and thus the boss of Boris. He always comes up with new attractions for his guests, is a lover of music, but has no particular musical talent.
- Vivaldi
- The queen of hearts is called Vivaldi in Wonderful Wonder World . She likes to impose draconian penalties and loves tea parties. Like Blood Dupre, she is a fan of black tea. She likes to hold tea parties at the Heart Castle for her life. She also secretly collects cuddly toys, which only some of her maids and Alice know about. She always speaks of herself in the plural, that is, in the pluralis majestatis .
- Peter White
- Peter White is Minister of the Heart and Vivaldi's Deputy. As a white rabbit, he kidnaps Alice to Wonderland to involve her in the game. He is in love with Alice and tries everything to gain her affection. He is very jealous. Peter can transform himself into human and animal form and likes to take advantage of this to be close to Alice as a small, cuddly rabbit.
- Nightmare Gottschalk
- Nightmare is known as the master of the nightmare . He has the ability to read the hearts of other beings. He can also get into their dreams and talk to them. He is very sickly and is helping Peter White keep Alice in Wonderland.
