There are two other Warehouse 13 players in the Bar, and it will be fun for them and me to be able to do some canon together. Also, I have non-concrete plans to use Alice to give one of my other characters difficulties. Alice will likely only be in the Bar for a short time and then retired, as she is being brought in for a plot. This is probably a good thing, as she's a violent sociopath.
In canon, two Warehouse 13 agents managed to trap part of Alice Liddell in the mirror, though both of them died, leaving no note as to how the thing was done. We see her as a reflection of Pete in the early episodes that acts somewhat independently, only to be surprised when she finally gets loose.
I'm looking forward to playing her, as this character type is new to me. My other villain is very much a long term planner who is wise enough not to make waves. Alice….isn’t. I’m looking forward to her getting up to trouble in the Bar. She will get her just desserts, never fear. I’m just hoping to plan them out in advance. This character will also be a challenge for me, as she's from an older era and crazy to boot, which should be interesting. I also plan to give a motif of sorts in using quotes from the Alice books in her speech.
I'm also hoping to give her more depth and explanation than she got in her forty-five minute episode in the series. We never really find out why she is the way she is, or how being trapped in a mirror for more than a hundred years has affected her. I plan on exploring what it’s been like for her, what the mirror really is, and how she was trapped in it in the first place.
