[Updated 10.12.2010]
Characters will be ranked from 1 - 10, either positive (✓) or negative (✗) or both. It's complicated.

♣ - Indicates a high level of mistrust or dislike. Or both.
♠ - Indicates a level of complete and utter trust.
♥ - Indicates care or love, generally in the platonic sense.
♔ - Indicates a canonmate
♦ Alfred F. Jones (America) | ✓✗
❝I could totally make this place awesome, just like America.❞
Alice?’s first impression of the guy was that he was a bit of an idiot in a big way.
But, all things considered, he seems to be well-meaning, and he’s not such a bad guy. Even if he is kind of obnoxious.
Either way, Alice? will tolerate him, since he doesn’t seem to mean harm.
♦ Akechi Mitsuhide | ✓✓
❝You can only keep on trying to do what you wish and fight the tides.❞
He isn’t sure how he feels about Mitsuhide. The man is very polite and helpful when they speak, and they have spoken often enough that Alice? thinks of him when he thinks of people he would consider acquaintances in Vatheon, but...he knows that there is a lot he doesn’t know about him...and there must be a reason why he always seems so sad.
♠ Aziraphale | ✓✓✓✓✓✓✓
❝Never lose hope, my dear boy. There's always hope.❞
He’s so kind.
This hasn't changed, even as Alice? has gotten to know the angel better.
It's difficult to describe a relationship like this is a paragraph. When Mr. H disappeared, Aziraphale was there for him. When Mr. H reappeared, they were still together, and things felt more and more like a family when all of them were together.
And now they'll all be living together as a family. And Alice? couldn't be happier for it.
♔ ♦ Cheshire Cat | ✓✓✓✓✓✗✗✗✗✗
❝All you have to do is to call me when you've found him. And for Alice, I would come.❞
The Cheshire Cat from his world is infuriating, impossible to understand and illogical. He doesn’t speak in ways that Alice? can understand--on purpose, the boy is sure--and it is frustrating to even try to figure out what he means.
...But the Cheshire Cat is a constant and familiar and...
He took comfort that the Cheshire Cat was there. And he might...miss that sense of familiarity, just a little.
♣ Enjin Hiizumi | ✗✗✗✗✗✗✗✗
❝After all, Alice in Wonderland is SUCH a generic story... they might replace you again~ ❞
Enjin is a bastard, and there is nobody Alice? hates more.
Enjin hurt him, wiped his memories, left him crumpled on the ground.
Enjin hurt Neku, even worse, and left him in even worse shape.
Alice? will never forgive him for that, that much is for sure.
But he knows the man is dangerous, so for now...for now he'll avoid him.
♦ Japan (Kiku Honda) | ✓✓✗
❝No one is, after all, sure why they are born. I do hope he'll find the reason one day and live the rest of his life as best as he can.❞
...It's difficult to explain.
To put it bluntly, their first conversation ended with Japan informing him, in a roundabout way, that he was not supposed to exist.
Japan knows his story, and it both frightens him and saddens him that it apparently...is a sad one. But it doesn't surprise him.
Overall, though...Japan has been nothing but kind to him. And so, he can't help but like him, despite everything.
♦ Joshua (Yoshiya Kiryuu) | ✓✓✗✗
❝Sounds like I fell down the rabbit hole and straight into Wonderland.❞
...He shot Neku.
Well, okay, that tainted his opinion of Joshua quite a lot.
At the same time, he's one of Mr. H's best friends.
So right now, Alice? is torn. He'll just have to wait and see what Joshua himself does before he forms an opinion.
♦ Klavier Gavin | ✓✓✓✓
❝I'm personally invested in your life up to my eyeballs. Don't forget that, ja?❞
When Alice? was hurting, Klavier was there to help, by offering stability and firmness--he offered understanding and guidance at the same time.
While they haven't spoken often since, Alice? does truly like Klavier, and would like more opportunities to speak with him...and perhaps to thank him for searching so honestly for the truth.
♠ Neku Sakuraba | ✓✓✓✓✓✓✓
❝Well it only ends where you want it to, so...it won't for you, then.❞
Neku has grown from uncertain acquaintance to close, close friend--partner? ...Brother?--in a very short time. They drew together when Mr. H disappeared, and when the man reappeared, they were only closer.
Neku cares about Alice?, that much he can tell, and unusual as it feels still to have someone who cares so much, he trusts Neku just as much, and cares right back.
They are partners, after all, and as Neku says, you have to trust your partner.
♔ ♣ Queen of Hearts | ✗✗✗✗✗✗✗✗
❝After all, I have what he truly wants, even if he thinks he temporarily has it.❞
He’s never liked the Queen of Hearts. Pushy and far too quick to use force, the Queen is the person who forced him into the game that he’s not even certain he wanted to play, and now that he’s in Vatheon...he is sure that he doesn’t.
But now the Queen is here, and doesn’t seem to want to give in. And Alice? resents him for it.
Also, he hurt Mr. H. That’s just a big no in Alice?’s book.
He certainly isn't upset that the queen is no longer in Vatheon.
♦ Red | ✓✓✓
❝If one treasures their memories so much, I know it will always stay in them, no matter how much others try to cover the truth.❞
Red was another person whose friendship Alice? is not quite sure how he managed to obtain.
But he certainly doesn't mind, strange as it seems to him. Red might be oddly nice to him for no apparent reason, but they have a good time when they're together, and...it's nice to have a normal (?) relationship with someone kind.
♠ Sanae Hanekoma (Mr. H) | ✓✓✓✓✓✓✓✓
❝You're home now, relax. He can't get you here.❞
The one person, in Vatheon or Wonderland or anywhere, that he would be willing to do anything for.
Mr. H has given him what nobody ever has before...a place to be him, a home, and that is something that he will never forget and something that he treasures. Mr. H cares about him because he’s him...not because he’s Alice in Wonderland.
And because of this, there is no doubt that Alice? is extremely attached to the man. He’s the only person he trusts right now, and the only person who has succeeded in making him open up and talk.
When Mr. H disappeared...it made Alice? realize just how dependent he was, and though Mr. H is now back, he can't help but fear that he'll disappear again.
But for now, he'll accept that Mr. H is back, and simply be grateful to have him with him.
♦ Touka Kishi | ✓✓✓✓✓
❝I'm glad I got to meet you, Alice-san.❞
Quite possibly one of the first true friends Alice? has ever had. Touka is cheerful when he is sarcastic, kind when he is bitter, helpful when he is down.
She’s always there and always looking out for him and wishing for the best for him, and he’s truly grateful for it. He cares quite a lot for her, and would do whatever it would take to protect her and keep her safe, even if he couldn’t do much at all.
He doesn’t want her to leave...but at the same time, he doesn’t want her to miss her home anymore. Because...he’s beginning to think that he knows how that would feel.
♦ V Juri F | ✓✓✓✓
❝Just don't die again, okay? I don't like feeling gloomy.❞
Another friend that he’s not entirely sure how he managed to get.
But he’s glad for it, because he does like Juri’s energy and enthusiasm and bright outlook on life. It’s entirely different from his own, but...he certainly doesn’t find that to be a bad thing.
She clearly cares about his well-being, and while that’s still a little odd to him, he’s glad to know that people care for him, and not just his role.
