[THEMES] Ao no Exorcist & Heart no Kuni no Alice

Dec 30, 2011 08:19

I apologize for the 1-day delay of posting these two themes, as I remake Ao no Exorcist stamps because I didn't like the first set I made lol. Nevetheless, I hope you guys will enjoy these two themes! :D




Alice=Liddell
One of the very few characters who are similar in personality, physical appearance, and reactions to the original book. Alice reacts to everything a little bit more realistically than the original Alice, questioning her surroundings, however she is still dreamy and absent minded. She also have a darker and cynical view of life, as well as having low confidence in love because her first love fell in love with her sister. Thus, she often compares herself to her sister and feels inferior to her sister. Many of the other characters note that Alice unintentionally leads them on. Her views on life in general have made her a valuable part of wonderland life. The inhabitants fall in love with her because she values life, not like the people who live there. She often considers returning home, but is dissuaded by painful headaches induced by Nightmare whenever she tries to recall memories of her sisters Edith and Lorina or whether she considers if she has seen Peter before or not.



Peter=White
Other than having a pair of white rabbit ears, wearing a watch, and wearing a suit coat he has little in common with the White Rabbit upon which he is based. He is the first to meet Alice and claims to be desperately in love with her; his sociopathic tendencies mean that he will not hesitate to kill anyone he dislikes, especially if they get between him and Alice. Alice mentions hating him on several instances, but he is persistent in gaining her love. Peter is able to turn into an actual rabbit, which he does so in order to gain Alice's affections since she has a soft spot for his rabbit form, and works for the Queen of Hearts in Heart Castle as a Prime Minister. He is often caught rhyming as he speaks, and is pretty much a stalker.



Ace
Ace is an original character, though he is possibly based on the Knave of Hearts. He is the Knight of Heart Castle and considered the most skilled swordsman in Wonderland, but has a notoriously bad sense of direction and often forgets how to get to places. Though, seemingly harmless at first, he becomes more devious over time and demonstrates a tendency towards violence. His lost adventures are revealed to be assassinations of people that the Joker or the Clockmaker want him to kill; he helps Julius Monrey collect clocks from people who have died while killing those who get in his way. Ace is one of the first characters to admit that he has no romantic interest in Alice, though that changes shortly after he says it. Despite confessing to love Alice, she notes how he used her as a shield when Peter threatened to shoot him. He almost kills Alice because she is changing everyone in Wonderland, but mentions that if he killed her, he couldn't hear her heartbeat anymore, so he changes his mind. He is also revealed to be the warden of the prison in Wonderland. Alice frequently mentions in the novel that she can't tell what's going on in his mind.



Vivaldi
Vivaldi is based upon The Queen of Hearts. Like the character in Carroll's book, she regularly orders the beheading of servants for the smallest of mishaps. She tends to use the majestic plural and is demanding and dangerous. A beautiful and composed woman who shows little emotion, she does expose her feelings towards Blood when Peter and Ace inform her of his interest and advances to Alice. She loves cute things and has a secret room full of stuffed animals. Only a few select maids know of her collection. Vivaldi is secretly Blood's older sister and as the Queen of Hearts, she is the only person aside from Alice who is able to keep Peter in line. In the Clover game, it is revealed that she loves Cats and hates Mouse a lot.



Blood=Dupre
Leader of the Hatters, he is charming, flirtatious, laid-back and is very passionate about black tea, Blood is nothing like the Mad Hatter, the character he represents. He rules the Hatter's Mansion area. Alice notices right away that he looks exactly like her ex-boyfriend. In the beginning, Blood states he has no intention of loving Alice, and discusses trying to kill her. However, like many others, Blood develops a strong interest in her, and antagonizes Julius just so Alice will leave Julius to stay with Blood, though she never actually leaves the Clock Tower. It is even suggested later in the manga that Blood is in fact jealous and directs his negative feelings at Alice. In the games, he is less violent and is the only one that actually took the responsibility for making Alice stay by proposing to her (in Heart/Clover/Joker games). He is way more violent in the manga and He even attempts to choke her at one point, and shoots at her during a ball held by Vivaldi.



Elliot=March
Other than having a pair of brown hare ears, Elliot shares no likeness to the March Hare, upon which he is based. He first seems willing to help Alice, until he points his weapon at her and says he wants to "test his new gun". But later, Elliot comes across as a kind and sweet person, like a big brother to everyone, with the willingness to kill people without hesitation. Elliot is dedicated to serving Blood, due to the fact that Blood helped Elliot escape prison for a terrible sin. Elliot constantly states that he isn't a rabbit, instead claiming he is a dog, and claims to not like carrots. Despite this, he is shown to enjoy eating carrot dishes.



Tweedle=Dee&Dum
Twins based on the characters Tweedledum and Tweedledee that besides being twins and finishing each others' sentences on occasion, they look and act nothing like their counterparts. Dee and Dum are the young gatekeepers to the Hatter Mansion. Due to their young age, they often slack off and love money and killing. They have a violent tendencies and actually tried to kill Alice upon first meeting her, thinking that slitting her throat would be a fun game. They don't think life is important, thinking that Alice, like everyone else, will have a replacement. Later, both of them has grown to like Alice a lot and calls her "Onee-san". In the second game Clover no Kuni no Alice, they are revealed to be able to transform into adult forms at will. They also have a hobby of collecting weapons, and both have pretty much the same personality with only the difference that Dee loves freedom while Dum loves money.



Boris=Airay
Boris is the counterpart of the Cheshire Cat; like the character he is based on, Boris loves riddles. He has functional cat ears and a tail, several piercings and tattoos, and dresses in short, exposing outfits with a pink boa and a collar with a chain. Boris works in the Amusement Park District for Mary Gowland. Though he is sly, devious character with a childish persona, he becomes close to Alice. (Almost like BFF) He is friends with Dee and Dum, despite the fact that they work for opposing groups, and even goes to Hatter Mansion to have tea parties and interact with Elliot and Blood. Boris has on numerous occasions, snuck into the Castle of Hearts. When his luck ran out, Alice found him badly wounded and bloody, and after a reprimanding from Alice, Boris promised to change his careless and ruthless ways for Alice's sake. In the manga, he is shown to be caring and good friend to Alice, while in the game, he is more ruthless and is shown to shoot people out of jealousy in the Clover game.



Mary=Gowland
Boss of the Amusement Park, Gowland is a possible parody of The Duchess as he is a marquis and semi owner of Cheshire Cat. However he gets angry at Boris when he bleeds on his floor. Other than those times he enjoys the company of him and Alice. He is an older man with mood swings, but is generally a cheery and very social person. He has the power to pull out his violin, which turns into a kind of gun or rifle at his will, in various sizes, though he has no talent playing it. He invites Alice to come to the park any time she likes and visits her at the clock tower. Gowland is the archenemy of Blood Dupre, who told everyone Gowland's first name is Mary, making his name 'Merry Go Round', like the term merry-go-round. Dupre seems eager to pick fights with Mary, making fun of him and his name, throwing Gowland into a violent rage.



Pierce=Villers
Pierce is the counterpart of the Dormouse and is the undertaker for the Hatters. He has functional mouse ears and a tail and suffers from insomnia as a result of constantly drinking coffee out of paranoia at the thought of being eaten by Boris. He used to work for the Hatter family as the Undertaker, but ran away prior to the beginning of the series due to being terrorized by Boris, the twins and the fact that Blood bans Coffee in the house. He adores Nightmare because he helps him sleep and is often worried about his health as well as Elliot because he feels that rabbits are harmless. In an side chapter of the manga, he attempts to kiss Alice soon as he recognizes her as an outsider. Alice slaps him in the face in response and asks him "if he tries to kiss strangers often"



Julius=Monrey
Julius is an original character, though it is suggested that he represents Time (who has an argument with the Mad Hatter), from the original Alice in Wonderland book. He is in charge of the only neutral district, the Clock Tower Plaza; it is also shown that he controls the world's time. As the fixer of clocks, he is regarded as the mortician of Wonderland, since the fixed clocks will become the hearts of reborn Wonderland residents. Julius is initially the closest character to Alice; she trusts him and lives in his Clock Tower with him. While seemingly apathetic and anti-social, several characters mention how much he must like Alice because of his eagerness to help her get home and to give her a room to stay in. Later on, Julius shows jealousy towards the other men in Alice's life and tells her to leave, saying that she can go where ever she chooses as he thinks she feels obligated to stay. When Alice refuses to leave, Julius admits that he doesn't find her annoying. As his attachment to Alice grows, he becomes protective of her when other characters threaten to take her away. It is seen that Julius does not like roller coasters, crowds, and Blood Dupre.



Nightmare=Gottschalk
Nightmare is based on The Caterpillar in the original Alice in Wonderland, but is usually seen when Alice is sleeping. Later, he comes to the clock tower with a resident of Clover. Though seemingly mysterious and powerful, he is in fact sickly (and he hates going to the hospital because he's scared of needles and medicines), tends to run away from work because he hates them and is bad in handling social situations. Despite that, he keeps claiming that he is a very great and powerful presence. He is the one who allowed Peter to bring Alice into Wonderland. He calls himself a 'Demon', claiming he is the embodiment of bad dreams, and is feared by the residents because he can read through their mind. It appears he along with Peter knows why Alice was sent to their world.



Gray=Ringmarc
Gray is based on the Lizard in the original Alice in Wonderland. He works for Nightmare, though is often reduced to acting as a nanny of sorts in order to force Nightmare to do his work as well as making him eat his medicines and going to the hospital and tends to be a workaholic. In contrast, he is notably a poor cook and artist, despite his best efforts. By nature Gray is a kind man who cares for people and animals, but he is also a former assassin and a deadly combatant. As a result, he is unwillingly Ace's designated sparring partner as he is the only one who can match the Knight of Heart's skill. He also have a soft spot for cute things, and before Alice knew about Gray's past, she described him as the most normal, adult-like and mature resident in the Wonderland. Gray often compares and sees himself as inferior to Julius, particularly in regards to his relationship to Alice.



Joker
An enigmatic character who the player must visit and play a card game with in order to change the season in the Alice in the country of hearts game. Two Jokers exist within the story-one is a polite and modest man while in contrast, his counterpart is foul-mouthed and condescending. He also claims Alice needs him. The jokers are in charge of the prison in wonderland. In Joker no Kuni, they are seen executing Alice's older sister, who symbolizes all the memories of Alice that took place before Wonderland.




Rin has a protective and supportive personality. Rin can be very violent and get into fights (possibly caused by his demon side), but really has a kind heart. He supports his friends and tries to encourage and help them. He also seems very protective of Yukio, and aims to surpass him one day. Rin is clueless at times such as saying phrases wrong or thinking that the Kraken's fins are ears. Despite this, he is able to connect with someone's feelings to his own, such as Shiemi Moriyama's grief over her grandmother and Ryūji Suguro's ambition to defeat Satan. He's not the type of person for school or studying, though he was able to gain a junior high diploma and become an Esquire. Unlike his younger brother, Rin is immature, which leads other people into believing that he is younger than Yukio. He is headstrong (literally as well as figuratively, as he was able to stop a charging demon by directly headbutting it in the forehead) and is often very open with his friends. He seems to have a small soft-spot for animals.



Yukio is mostly seen as quiet and calm, yet he is somewhat bi-polar. He is mostly seen happily smiling, but can easily get sidetracked due to Rin's personality clash, and becomes rather dark. He takes things seriously, but knows a joke when he hears one. On few occasions he is shown to have a very aggressive side. If he is pushed too far, he can gain a fiercely angry personality. His angry side is so intense that it frightens Rin when it makes itself known. He doesn't like to partake in 'unseemly' actions.



When she first appeared, Shiemi was very shy and quiet at school. This is because when she was younger she was awfully shy and sick, so she wasn't able to attend school, which made it hard for her to have friends of her own age. She is also naive - most of her life was spent within the premises of her home, therefore she is rather clueless when it comes to typical adolescent experiences. However, she is incredibly loyal and hardworking; she would do anything for her friends. Her exceptional kindness, immense willpower, and good nature has made her popular within the Esquires.



Shura has a rather laid-back personality and uses slang; using yer instead of your. She is also noted to be rather blunt, speaking freely about sensitive topics, as well as not being hesitant in pointing out others' flaws. Even with her superiors, she is not afraid to challenge them, which on a few occasions resulted in physical conflict. Like Rin, she often slacks off, and would rather drink and let others do work. However, when needed, Shura can be serious and focused. She is also fiercely loyal to Father Fujimoto, despite denying his ways. Insulting or playing around with Shura can lead to being punished. Shura is currently hiding her true age by stating to everyone that she is 18, when Yukio has alluded to the fact that she is 26.



Though his appearance is rebellious, his personality is the exact opposite of his appearance. He's stern and takes everything seriously or too seriously as Konekomaru stated. His hardworking streak comes from his desire to defeat Satan for turning his temple into a cursed temple in the eyes of the public. He is shown to dislike people who don't work hard and slack off during classes. He dislikes it when people look down on him. He is a very strong willed and determined person as shown when he was ready to face the leaper just to show just how determined he was to become an exorcist. However, there is a different side in his personality as well. He constantly gets into fights with Izumo and Rin usually because of their different views. He can be quite immature as shown when he fights with Rin for small reasons such as food. He can be calm and collected and he can be bad tempered and violent in other times. He is said to be so similar to Rin that they don't get along because of it. He's a prodigy and entered the same school under the same scholarship as Yukio, known to be the youngest exorcist. He is a top student in his class and gets 98 out of 100 in tests.



Renzō is the most carefree character out of all the other Exorcists and it's shown when he doesn't act as serious as the other Exorcists in serious situations and yet he has a fear of many things, mainly bugs. He's friendly and is one of the few people who befriended Rin after finding out he was Satan's son, saying that he didn't care about it since Rin was a good person. He's very loyal to Bon and Konekomaru as they both grew up together in the same temple in Kyoto. Though he grew up in the same "cursed" temple as Bon did, he doesn't have the same goal as Bon or seemed to be that interested in it's business. He refers to everyone, even his teachers, casually and even teases them. He loves women and has a big obsession over them. He is the 5th and youngest son of his family, and tells Konekomaru he's glad of this because it means he has less responsibilities unlike Konekomaru who's the eldest. This shows that he isn't willing to take on his responsibilities and prefers to be carefree. He plans to become a meister in Aria. He refers to himself as "The Epitome of Cool".



He seems to be very protective of the people who raised him, and watches out for people who may try to hurt his friends and family. Konekomaru is also seen to be somewhat of a peace-maker as he is always trying to keep Bon from getting into fights. He is also usually the one to reprimand Renzou, though quietly, about his (Renzou's) perverted habits. He is also seen to have somewhat of a blunt side to his personality. Also, when Bon attempted to apologize for his actions during the forest mission, Konekomaru states that Bon's impudence endangers them all.



Izumo maintains a very tsundere attitude most of the time, though it's mostly tsun and less dere. She is very cold and condescending towards those around her except for her friend Paku. She takes advantage of Shiemi, when Shiemi asks to be her friend, by essentially making Shiemi her servant. Paku, distraught that Izumo was taking advantage of an honest person, finally admitted to Izumo that she does not consider Izumo to be a true friend. However, she does occasionally show kindness. She was the first Exwire to accept Rin after learning that he was the son of Satan. She sat next to him on the train to Kyoto when no one else would. In the anime, she encouraged him on his candle training when he was frustrated.



Shrouded in mystery, one quickly learns of Mephisto's innate ability to act as if he knows more than what he is letting on. Careful and meticulous, he is like a chess player, always ahead of the game. Because of this it is still unsure as to what side he is on or whether he is on any side at all. He also enjoys chaos, as he stated to himself that he was a hell-raiser, and Assiah to be his playground, though he does not wish to see anyone get killed, claiming that he himself would kill Amaimon if he ever tried to kill any of his students.
He is prone to eccentric moments nestled in between serious moments, making light of a heavy mood and is portrayed as a man with more money than sense, but is very cheap when it comes to spending on others. Like his brother he love to eat sweets and he is deeply interested in the Japanese pop culture, implying that he is an Otaku.



He appears to be calm and collected, but very confident in his powers. Very brash and doesn't seem to be seen in a bad mood. However he shows great anger and annoyance when someone gets in the way of his fun, like when Mephisto intervened with his fight against Rin in the Chuchi forest. He also does not take losing very well when he is defeated by Rin and reverts to demon form to confront Rin once again, during the hearing against Mephisto. He is very playful and doesn't take things seriously when it comes to fighting strong combatants which hints that he is either ignorant, or hideously skilled in combat. He has also been shown to care for his familiar, Behemoth, which he shows great distress over when Kirigakure Shura kills it.
