SENSES AND OTHER ODDLY SPECIFIC HEADCANONS
1. WHAT DOES YOUR MUSE SMELL LIKE: Most often Alice will smell of garden flowers because of The Vale, hint of fireplace due too her old home, and that of calming warm tea. There is not a lot of fancy things she can manage most days, but she does try and keep up with personal hygiene with what is available. Often some sort of simple flowery soap. But she prefers what can remind her of her lost home, or the scent of etas she once so loved with old friends and family.
2. WHAT DO YOUR MUSE’S HANDS FEEL LIKE: Slender hands that look quite delicate, but do not be fooled. While she can be soft and gentle as a rose, roses still have thorns. There are some callouses from working and cleaning, as well as how often she takes care of her weapons or swings The Vorpal Blade, yet the palms and skin are still soft. Working hands with a strong grip, that can still provide delicate touch.
3. WHAT DOES YOUR MUSE USUALLY EAT IN A DAY: Uhhh... Alice is lucky to have a full meal in one day most times, so it would always be a toss up of just what she might keep down. Most days it will be water, tea, and maybe a snack or so. But if there is someone she trusts deeply that has helped her along, then Alice will eat more, a proper real meal. It’s progress. Most of the time, this is a woman who is heavily traumatized and food and medicine was used as a punishment, both it being taken away, and force fed, in the asylum.
4. DOES YOUR MUSE HAVE A GOOD SINGING VOICE: The most musical talent Alice has is playing instruments, such as piano, keyboards, and even wind instruments. But singing, she is still quite skilled at, being a young girl raised in high society, such lessons were normal. And while it was a long time ago, she can still sing rather well, it might just take her a moment to find the proper tune if there isn’t any instrument.
5. DOES YOUR MUSE HAVE ANY BAD HABITS OR NERVOUS TICS: Not eating regularly is certainly a bad habit Alice has, as is rarely sleeping correctly. The thin frame and dark circles are not just from aesthetic. There is 0 body fat there, and only muscles over malnourished figure. Do not let her appearance deceive you. She had a bad habit of something internally over thinking herself and arguing with the other half of her traumatized mind, self loathing and blaming herself in every aspect. Survivors guilt and loneliness is one hell of a drug.
6: WHAT DOES YOUR MUSE USUALLY LOOK LIKE/WEAR: Most often times Alice can be found wearing dresses, often in shades of blue preferably, but there is many a strange outfit within her wardrobe. She has a couple of suits, and some very casual calm clothing, but the iconic outfits of which Alice will always prefer is a dress that is comfortable and functional with pockets, or a nice simple outfit with use.
7. IS YOUR MUSE AFFECTIONATE? HOW MUCH? HOW SO: This is a character who has so often been abused, used, broken down, and left behind. So few people remained in her life for most of it that actually cared, after the death of her family and the fire. So for Alice to be affectionate, it takes time for her to open up like that if she truly cares about you. And there are layers. Between those she considers friends will get the occasional gift or showing that she thinks of them, a careful appreciation, but so rarely will she touch anyone. Only if she truly and deeply trusts someone will she go that far. But if you have her heart, then there will be not a moment of hesitation for this woman to hold your hand, and hug you tight, and gasp, perhaps even a cheek kiss. How scandalous.
8. WHAT POSITION DOES YOUR MUSE SLEEP IN: It’s rare that Alice will sleep at all. and what little sleep she does get is often found with her sitting up carefully or leaned against something. If she is laying down proper, it is with her back too a wall, and facing towards doors and windows while laying on her side. Slightly curled up to conserve warmth, but also ready to spring up at a moments notice... But, the rare times of truly calm sleep? Deep and welcome? Everything will be entirely relaxed.
9: COULD YOU HEAR YOUR MUSE IN THE HALLWAY FROM ANOTHER ROOM: Alice is capable of being incredibly quiet and avoiding detection, keeping herself stealthy and out of sight for both her own comfort, and from the trauma of knowing how dark the human race can be... When she was younger, she learned sneaking around as a child let her hear things and learn things. This came in handy with meetings in her house Father once held, as well as in Wonderland to sneak her way around. The only possible thing anyone may hear of her would possibly be her boots on the floor if she wasn’t actively trying to be silent. The fact she is so underweight helps.
