Alice Margatroid (アリス・マーガトロイド Arisu Māgatoroido) est une magicienne contrôlant les poupées, vivant dans sa main dans la Forêt de la magie près de la maison de Marisa Kirisame. Selon les commentaires de ZUN dans la music room de Perfect Cherry Blossom est un personnage sortant du lot et spéciale par rapport aux autres personnages de Touhou Project.
Informations générales
Alice a fait sa première apparition dans Mystic Square, le 5ème et dernier jeu de la série PC_98 de Touhou Project comme boss de stage 3 ainsi que boss de stage extra. Plus tard, avec son canon complètement remodelé, elle est réapparue en tant que boss et mid-boss de stage 3 dans Perfect Cherry Blossom ainsi qu'en tant que personnage jouable dans Imperishable Night, en tant que partenaire de Marisa Kirisame dans Subterranean Animism. Elle est un personnage jouable dans Immaterial and Missing Power, Scarlet Weather Rhapsody et en tant que boss final dans le scénario de Cirno dans Hisoutensoku. Elle est également apparue en tant qu'ennemie dans Shoot the Bullet et a fait une apparition en tant que personnage de fond dans Hopeless Masquerade.
Elle est une magicienne youkai de toute spécialité vivant dans une maison de style western dans la Forêt de la magie sans vraiment de faiblesses ni de forces dans ses attributs. Mais elle se bat presque uniquement avec ses poupées faites main. Avec une personnalité indifférente envers les autres personne, elle est attachée à la magie et très confidente, mais assez timide dans certains aspects.[2]
Dans les jeux PC_98, elle vivait à Makai, auto-proclamée "La magicienne de Makai" avec un livre noir connu sous le nom de "Grimoire of Alice". Makai a été créé par Shinki, ainsi que ses résidents. Alice a également créé son propre "Wonderland" dans Makai. Dans les jeux Windows, le Grimoire d'Alice dans son portrait dans Imperishable Night révèle que l'écriture précise peut-être "Grimoire". C'est probablement le même livre qu'elle avait utilisé dans l'Extra Stage.
Espèce
Dans son profil dans Imperishable Night, il est dit qu'elle est une magicienne de race, en contraste de Marisa Kirisame qui est un humain pratiquant la magie. Dans Perfect Momento in Strict Sense, elle est décrite comme une youkai magienne qui était avant une humaine et est devenue une magicienne en utilisant la magie "abandon food".[1] ; Sans cette magie, elle posséderais le besoin de continuer à manger. Il est également dit qu'elle n'est devenue magicienne que récemment et qu'à cause de cela, elle continue de faire les choses comme les humains tel manger, dormir, ect... Alors que ce n'est pas nécessaire pour elle.
Dans Mystic Square, Alice apparaît comme une résidente de Makai et appelle Reimu "humaine", impliquant qu'elle n'en est probablement pas une dans le canon de PC_98.
Personnalité
Selon Perfect Momento in Strict Sense, il est possible qu'elle soit à la base humaine, même en tant que youkai, elle les comprend beaucoup et a beaucoup d'amis d'humains pour elle, sans danger, si quelqu'un se perd dans la Forêt de la magie, elle va se faire un plaisir d'inviter cette personne chez elle et de l'aider à retrouver son chemin. Cependant, la maison d'Alice est remplie de poupées et elle n'est pas à l'aise avec la conversation, ce qui fait peur aux visiteurs et fuient immédiatement en voyant cela.[1][2]. Elle a montré de l'hospitalité dans Immaterial and Missing Power, quand elle a montré le chemin à Sakuya Izayoi vers l'extérieur de la forêt quand elle fut perdue. [3]
Dans le chapitre 5-6 de Strange and Bright Nature Deity, les Trois fées de la lumière sont accidentellement arrivées vers sa maison, alors Alice les a invitées chez elle pour prendre le thé et des gâteaux. Cependant, Sunny Milk a tenté de mentir à Alice, mais lui a accidentellement dit la vérité à la place. Elle disait chercher un "Grimoire qui brille de toutes les 7 couleurs de la lumière". Alice n'a pas nier le fait mais s'est vite énervée. C'est une possible explication de son titre : "Magicienne aux sept-couleurs".
Alice est attachée à la magie, mais elle est indifférente envers les gens. Elle ne prend la peine d'attaquer les humains, mais elle aime tout particulièrement les combats et les challenges qui lui sont lancés, elle accepte avec joie. Comme elle manipule un très grand nombre de poupées, ses combats sont très spéciaux et assez durs. Mais comme elle a les mains occupées à manipuler ses poupées, elle a une faiblesse très marquante sur ses mains.[1]
Elle est une personne très seule et presque toujours chez elle,[4] mais dans Perfect Momento in Strict Sense, ses endroits d'activité sont "n'importe quelle sorte d'endroit" dans Gensokyo, elle apparaît quelques fois dans des festivals pour exhiber ses talents de marionnettiste. Dans les endings de Imperishable Night et Immaterial and Missing Power, elle participe à des banquets au Temple Hakurei. En addition à des choses telles ses poupées soient populaire, il y est dit que ses poupées sont très appréciées au village. Elle a également mentionner le fait qu'elle visite occasionnellement le Scarlet Devil Mansion.[5]
Exactement comme Marisa Kirisame, Alice a une obsession à collecter des objets, plus précisément des objets magiques. Il pourrait être pensé que cette obsession pourrait les rapprocher, mais il n'y pas une seule description d'objets possédés par Alice qui auraient pu lui être donnés et volé avant par Marisa.
Capacités & Force
Alice ne trouve pas qu'il est enrichissant de gagner des combats avec une puissance exagérée et elle est plus dans la stratégie, elle se bat généralement avec une puissance à peine plus élevée que son adversaire et se retient toujours même quand elle est en train de perdre. C'est à cause du fait que si ont la battait alors qu'elle utilisait sa pleine puissance, il ne resterait plus rien. Ce qui ressemble à la façon de penser de Reimu Hakurei.[6] Il n'est pas connu si ce comportement fait parti de sa personnalité ou juste que ne pas montrer ses capacités secrètes fait parti de sa stratégie.
Related to this, in Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, among the 15 characters, she did not have a cost 5 spell card, which might be an example of not showing her true strength. However, in Touhou Hisoutensoku, a cost 5 spell card was added. In the first place, since in Imperishable Night, she had a Last Word just like other characters, which were supposed to exemplify each of the characters' full strength, it does not mean that she never displays her full strength (with an appropriate spell card) no matter what the situation. On the other hand, it could also be that her last word spell card The Phantom of the Grand Guignol was actually still going easy.
In Immaterial and Missing Power, she kept avoiding the really strong characters[7], not fighting those like Remilia Scarlet and Yuyuko Saigyouji, spending her efforts to get to Suika Ibuki. It is unclear what state of mind she had at that time to do such a thing. Incidentally, it was the same in Scarlet Weather Rhapsody. Concerning this, she succeeded in her goal when she met Sakuya Izayoi, Patchouli Knowledge, and Youmu Konpaku, as she judged that it would a waste of effort to meet Remilia and Yuyuko, but she did engage in a battle with the powerful Yukari Yakumo. Additionally, she felt comfortable testing her Goliath Doll on Cirno in Touhou Hisoutensoku.
During the PC-98, she obtained the "Grimoire of Alice", a book that produced "the ultimate magic", and it seems like it would contain amazing magic that couldn't be used without reading it.
- Handling dolls
As her specialty is making dolls, she is also able to manipulate a great amount of dolls at the same time. This skill is among the finest in Gensokyo.[2] She is able to make her dolls move pretty much any way humans can, and other than that she can make multiple dolls perform different actions, sometimes making them cooperate and sometimes making them move completely asynchronously, such that to onlookers around her, it might not seem like she is manipulating them. Due to this, Marisa Kirisame commented that "she said that she controls all the dolls herself, but that sounds like a whopper". The dolls can themselves manipulate and maybe even create other dolls, but it seems that Alice insists on creating new dolls herself.[1] In chapter 5 of Strange and Bright Nature Deity, she gave a command to a doll orally, but at that time she was indoors while at the same time there were at least 12 dolls above the roof removing snow, and there were also some dolls inside the room cooking. At that time, the dolls have been portrayed as having emotion, in a cute way.
Although in common perception, it would seem obvious for the dolls to be able to talk, but there has been no mention of conversational ability. In some official material however, like Imperishable Night's Prologue and Strange and Bright Nature Deity chapter 5, Alice's dolls appear to be able to act and talk independently – someone adds in words in hiragana to Alice's words. In Marisa's B Ending in Subterranean Animism, it has been confirmed that the dolls do talk in katakana. Whether the dolls are talking due to manipulation by Alice or if half-automatic dolls are talking by themselves is a big mystery. However, according to her Perfect Memento in Strict Sense article, she hasn't yet succeeded in creating an independent doll, and a conversation between Marisa Kirisame and Rinnosuke Morichika in Curiosities of Lotus Asia chapter 16 suggests that Alice just controls the dolls and pretends they are alive for her own amusement and for showing off, but these talks were before the latter said game.
According to Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red, her objective is to make a completely autonomous doll that have their own thoughts and move by their own volition. Currently, when Alice gives a command to her dolls, they move as if they were autonomous, but she has to periodically give commands to them, and moreover it seems like she has not have had enough training in order to achieve it. In Touhou Hisoutensoku, she unleashes a move called "Semi-automaton". Because of that, it can be seen that the degree to which the ordinary Alice manipulates the dolls is clearly not all by herself. In order to perfect a completely autonomous doll, Alice does experiments, and the link to that with the "soul" is detailed.
However, according to her conversation with Youmu Konpaku, it was said that "the strings that attach the body and soul are the same as the ones that control dolls". If this is originally considered, then it could be asked, "isn't that which was put into the dolls Alice's own spirit?". It is not explained, for the dolls that she is experimenting with, if she needs to periodically give them magic power or if they are just fine without, and if they will move even if she does not give them any commands at all. However, in Touhou Hisoutensoku, Alice did say "it seems that it's more convenient to control the dolls myself than have dolls that think on their own".
Among Alice's famous skills, if the explanations of "Edo High-Explosive Pawn" and "Lemmings' Parade" are looked at, she also prepares her dolls for explosives. In Subterranean Animism, it seems that the dolls that she lent to Marisa Kirisame have been prepared with gunpowder, and due to this she objected to Marisa since they wouldn't survive in the Hell of Blazing Fires. Certainly in the game, the dolls didn't randomly explode. Also, in Magic Sign "Artful Sacrifice" as well as the skills "Volatile Doll", "Doll Cremation" and so on, she is able to put in magic power into the dolls to make them explode. It's unclear what the relation or difference is between the dolls that use gunpowder and the dolls with magic power put into them. One Lemmings' Parade consumes an enormous number of dolls, and since all the dolls are hand-made by Alice, to ordinary people, it would seem that without reason she returns her hard work to waste in an instant. However, it could be questioned as to whether Alice really adopted such a bad technique for such efficiency, and there is also the consideration that the dolls could merely be creating a blast from their explosion without scattering and dispersing, so that they are able to be collected again.
- Phantom-seeing power
Other than manipulating dolls, it seems that Alice has high phantom-seeing power, and in Imperishable Night's extra stage, she saw through that Fujiwara no Mokou was not actually living. In Perfect Cherry Blossom's Afterword, it has been written that "something that can't die isn't really alive". In addition to Imperishable Night, she saw through Keine Kamishirasawa's true form and also saw the invisible light from the full moon.
Character Basis
Name and Origin
Her full name is Alice Margatroid (アリス・マーガトロイド), in which she had no surname during the PC-98. ZUN states in Mystic Square that he originally based her off the Alice from Megami Tensei.[8] Also, she was called the "the girl of death". In addition, the Alice from Megami Tensei is, in turn, based off the main protagonist in Lewis Carroll's famous novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, to which the majority of enemies in Mystic Square's extra stage are card soldiers of the same type seen in the Walt Disney animated movie version of the novel. The title of the BGM used in that stage also directly translates to "Alice in Wonderland". When ZUN created the extra stage in Mystic Square, he decided to add a grimoire to her character design as a reference to a fighting game, Asura Blade: Sword of Dynasty, in which a necromancer named Alice carries one.[8] Her name also carries an image of illusion.[9]
Her surname Margatroid is derived from a real surname, Murgatroyd. It was also the name of the character Miss Murgatroyd from Agatha Christie's book A Murder is Announced and "Murgatroyd" was also a nickname for the vampire in Kim Newman's Anno Dracula. On a more interesting note, in a BBC Radio 4 adaptation was first broadcast on 9 August 1999, a girl name Alice Arnold was responsible for Miss Murgatroyd role. The middle dot (・) in the middle of her name is used in foreign names to show where the next word begins.
Design
Alice was first seen in Mystic Square wearing a pink/white dress with a blue apron and a matching headband with a ribbon on the side. Her eyes were gold, her hair is blonde, and she wears white socks. In the Extra stage of the same game, she appears to be carrying a large black book that's called the "Grimoire of Alice".
In Perfect Cherry Blossom, she has blue eyes and short blonde hair with a red band in her hair. She wears a light blue dress with long white sleeves and a long pink ribbon going round her neck and another one round her waist. Also, she appears to be wearing socks and has a black book, possibly the same one from Mystic Square.
In Immaterial and Missing Power, Alice's sprites have blue eyes, but in her portrait she instead has gold eyes. Her book is wrapped up in a red ribbon, and she has strings on her fingers to control her dolls. She is also seen wearing black boots. From Imperishable Night and on, Alice's eyes have continued to remain gold, but her sprites in Scarlet Weather Rhapsody and Touhou Hisoutensoku were unchanged from blue.
Upon first glance she is said to look like a doll (which is unusual among Touhou characters).[1] Her height is stated to be "fairly tall"[10].
Story
Games
- Mystic Square
Alice first appeared in Mystic Square. On stage three as the "Girl of Death", she showed up as a magician who looks quite young, who confronted the heroine invading into a town within Makai with the help of her living dolls (or fairies) while using a barrier. In fact, she was the first boss the heroine met after entering Makai.
On the Extra stage, she appeared as "Alice of the Land of Magic" and fought with five colours: red, blue, purple, yellow, and green, as well as having nine phases in her danmaku, with her sixth and ninth ones being the more notable among them.

Relationships
Marisa Kirisame
Marisa Kirisame is a fellow magician of the Forest of Magic. They were partners in Imperishable Night, and she was supporting Marisa in Subterranean Animism. Within the PC-98 canon, Alice met Marisa and that they fought during the events of Mystic Square, but the dialogues leaves open that they may've known each other earlier than that. They also fought each other in Perfect Cherry Blossom. It isn't official that Marisa has ever stolen anything from Alice.
In Imperishable Night, they've teamed up as a "bad relationship" combination. At that time the reason why Alice called out Marisa with her voice for this reason (incident resolution), is that it's only because they've become used to it. In the bad ending, while Marisa worked over the secret measures of the lunarians, but since Alice, by her side, was tired she chose to sleep first. By the time of the events of Subterranean Animism, Alice sent Marisa to the Underworld saying that it was a "onsen-enjoyment game". Compared to the time of Imperishable Night they've had softer conversations, which can be seen as that their relationship has improved.
She seems to have a love hate relationship of sorts with Marisa, with the two often insulting and fighting each other, yet teaming up on several occasions. For all the bickering the two go through, they seem to be close friends, as Alice once recommended Marisa's shop to the Three Fairies of Light when they needed some youkai extermination, and is comfortable enough with Marisa that in Imperishable Night's bad ending; when tired, she has no qualms with sleeping over at Marisa's house by Marisa's side.
Dolls
Shanghai and Hourai are the two most well-known dolls (or types of doll) used by Alice. The Goliath Doll is another doll created by Alice, which appears to still be in the testing stages and is thought to be her strongest doll.
Minor Relationships
At the end of Mystic Square, Mima takes Alice as her maid, releasing her some time later.
- Three Fairies of Light
In Strange and Bright Nature Deity, she provided help as inviting the Three Fairies of Light to her home and providing tea and cake. She told them, "if you got lost, then stay here until the snow goes away," brought some hot red tea, inquired if the room was cold, and also said "well, you should have gotten pretty cold walking outside, so you should just relax and warm up." However, afterwards, when Sunny Milk, in some random saying, said something which suggested of stealing the Grimoire, she became very angry.
Alice purchases the Butterfly Dream Pill from Eirin.

Additional Information
- Alice appeared on the cover of Mystic Square with a cat.
- Alice appeared in the Music Room background of Perfect Cherry Blossom.
- Being known as the "Seven-Colored Puppeteer" or "Rainbow Puppeteer", Alice apparently believes in a correlation between color and power level. During her dialogue with Reimu Hakurei in Perfect Cherry Blossom, she asserts Reimu's powers are only equal to 28.5714% (or 2/7) of her own powers, due to Reimu's outfit only consisting of two colors. This appears to be a recurring theme in Perfect Cherry Blossom, as Yukari Yakumo, Ran Yakumo and Chen are all named after colors and have relative power levels equivalent to their colors' place on the visual spectrum. This, however, has not been referenced in recent games.
- Alice's alternate palette from Scarlet Weather Rhapsody resembles Hina-Ichigo, a doll from the manga series Rozen Maiden. In Touhou Hisoutensoku, she has palettes resembling the other Rozen Maiden dolls: Suiseiseki, Souseiseki, Suigintou, Shinku, Kanaria, and Kirakishou. Add the fact that, in Rozen Maiden, the aforementioned dolls are battling for the title of "Alice", the perfect doll.
- Alice is one of the two in the whole series who appears 3 times in a single stage: Twice as a midboss and the third as the actual boss of stage 3 in Perfect Cherry Blossom. The other is Seiran in Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom.
- Alice is one of the four characters in the whole series who appears as a boss two times in different stages of the same game: As the third and extra boss in Mystic Square. The others are Rika in Story of Eastern Wonderland, Kazami Yuuka in Lotus Land Story and Junko in Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom.
- Alice seems to have connections with Dolls in Pseudo Paradise. One involves how one of the honest men died from being "nailed to a tree" despite being inside, which relates to Alice's article in Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red about her nailing straw effigies to trees. Others include how the men stumble upon a "Western-style building deep within the forest" and how the culprit was a "beautiful blonde girl".
- Alice has been a recurring customer of Eirin's, coming to see her to buy a medicine she developed called the Butterfly Dream Pill.[11] The medicine guarantees its imbiber to have pleasant dreams once they fall asleep, and was even featured in an article in Aya's newspaper. The reason for purchasing this medicine or even what kinds of dreams Alice is trying to have were never revealed, but instead are left purely to speculation. However, this might be a reference to "Alice in Wonderland", from which the concept of her character is derived.
- Yuki and Mai's second attack in Samidare looks very similar to Alice's second attack in the Extra Stage of Mystic Square.

Alice Margatroid PCB | ○七色の人形使い アリス・マーガトロイド 3面のボス、わりと普通の魔法使い。 とりあえず万能の魔法使いであり、これといって属性に得手不得手は アリスも蒐集家であり、本等のマジックアイテムを収集する癖がある。 霊夢達と戦う明示的な理由は無い。そこに居たから魔法の相手になっ 全力で戦って負けると、本当に後が無い為である。 ここらへんの性格は霊夢に似ている。 |
*Seven-Colored Puppeteer Alice Margatroid The stage 3 boss, kinda ordinary magician. She is a versatile magician, that has no specific strong or weak point in any area. If you ask me, she is similar to Marisa, or rather I'd say a youkai version of Marisa. Alice has an obsession with collecting things as well, and has the habit of collecting magic items, especially magic books. As they both share the same hobby, she often clashes with Marisa so their relation is like loggerheads. Most recently, she is interested in collecting dolls that have a story associated with them. She had no evident reason to attack Reimu and company. They were chosen for the target of her magic because they were there. Dominating the enemy with overwhelming power is not fun at all for Alice, so she always sees her opponent's reaction and tries to fight with power that exceeds the opponent by a hair. Even if she loses, she doesn't show her full power. That's because she thinks it would be the end of the rope for her if she lost with full power. In this aspect, her personality is somewhat similar to Reimu. |
○七色の人形遣い アリス・マーガトロイド 種族:魔法使い 生粋の魔法使いさん。見た目は人間と殆ど同じだが、人間ではない。 彼女の家には所狭しと大量の人形が置かれている。その不気味さは、たまに迷い込む人間を恐怖に陥れる。不気味な森の中にある、余りにも異質な人形の家。それは、森がいくら不気味だとしても逃げ出したくなるのも当然の事だ。 性格は、他人に無関心で、魔法に執着しやすい。強気を張っているが実は臆病な面もある。 体術は至って普通。体を動かすのも魔法も使うのも人並みである。器用さはかなり高く、大量の人形をあたかも生きているかのように操る事が出来る。その器用さは幻想郷の中でもピカイチである。 |
*Seven-Colored Puppeteer Alice Margatroid Species: Magician A pure magician. While her appearance is almost identical to humans, she is not one. She is a kind of so called humanoid youkai. Her house is crammed with a lot of dolls. The sight is so spooky that it scares rare visitors away. The house of dolls is strangest even in the forest of the bizarre. It's no wonder that they tend to run away from there. Her personality is indifferent to others, and is easily attached to magic. She puts on a confident attitude, but she actually also has a timid side. She is quite average in melee fighting. Both her body movement and magic using are average. Instead of that she has very high skillfulness, which enables her to control many dolls as if they're living beings. This skillfulness is among the finest among all of Gensokyo. |
Alice Margatroid IN | ○七色の人形遣い アリス・マーガトロイド
魔法の森に住む魔法使い。 魔法を操る程度の能力を持つ。人形を遣うのも魔法の一種である。 基本的に自分から出かける事は少ないが、今回はしぶしぶ。 魔法の森に住み、魔法使いで収集家、と魔理沙と共通点が多いが、魔理沙は人間、アリスは魔法使いという決定的な違いがある。 ちなみに、魔法の森に生えるきのこを好んで使う、使わない、の違いもある。 もちろんアリスは使わない方。だからという訳では無いが、二人は仲が悪い。 武器は魔法。魔法使いの魔法は常に術者オリジナル。
今回は魔理沙と組む。 高速移動は単独使用時のみの性能 レーザーは貫通するのと出っ放しな 撃っているのは人形だが。 せっかくだから速攻で、と言う人に。 |
*Seven-Colored Puppeteer, Alice Margatroid
A magician living in the Forest of Magic. She possess the ability to use magic. Puppetry is a type of magic too. She rarely goes out by herself, but she had no other choice this time. She has many similarities to Marisa, namely living in the Forest of Magic, being a magician and having an obsession with collecting things. However, they have an absolute difference in that Alice is a magician as a species while Marisa is a human magician. Other than that, they're also different in using forest's mushroom as preference or not. Of course, Alice is the one not using them. However, it is not because of such matter that makes both on bad terms. Magic is her weapon. A magician's magic is always originally developed by the magician.

Alice Margatroid IN | ○七色の人形遣い アリス・マーガトロイド 種族:魔法使い 魔法の森に住む魔法使い。 魔法使いという言葉のイメージ通り、インドア派である。基本的には一人でいる事が多い。魔法の森には人間が余り来ないので、非常に快適である。ただ、森は嫌な湿度が高く、人形の手入れをしないとすぐに痛んでしまう。その為、人形の手入れを自動で行う人形を作ろうと思っている。 |
Seven-Colored Puppeteer
Species: Magician A magician living in the Forest of Magic. The greatest difference between Alice and Marisa is that Marisa is a human of magician occupation whereas Alice is a magician as a species. You might imagine magicians as being indoor-type people; in Alice's case, you'd be right. She spends most of her time alone, and the forest is a good place for that. The forest is quite humid, however, and her dolls will become damaged without her constant care. Because of this, she's currently planning to make a doll that will automatically take care of other dolls. |
○七色の人形遣い アリス・マーガトロイド 種族:魔法使い 森に住んでいる人形遣い。 間欠泉から不穏な空気を感じたが、妖怪が地底に行く事は憚れていたのでどうしようか悩んでいた。 |
Seven-Colored Puppeteer
Species: magician A puppeteer that lives in the forest. She felt something odd about the geyser that erupted, but since youkai prefer not to go underground she worried over what to do. That's when she noticed that Marisa was especially interested in the geyser, so she convinced Marisa to investigate the underground for her. She told her that investigating the hot spring would be a fun game, and pointed her towards the source of the geyser. She also made her carry dolls that had Yukari's remote control devices in them. |
