Oh, this is simply superb.

Such a fantastic idea, and you've executed it brilliantly. I really like your Alice; she seems so much more human than what we saw of her on screen, with the drinking and doubt, etc.

And the girl and her cards... so intriguing *runs off to look in old tarot card book*

A lovely piece!

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I wished we'd gotten some sense of what had happened to her from Jack and Gwen at the end of CoE.

Thanks!

Yay Alice! And her first order for Jack: clean out the Weevil pens with a toothbrush, y/y?

Love it!

Thank you!

Wow.

Nice, really nice...plus, the Tarot Card Girl is one of my favorite characters...and the only one who hasn't died to our knowledge.

Thank you!

I thought she was the girl brought back by the second glove, in that article Gwen found?

Well, I'd like to think it was Faith, but I don't think they've ever confirmed it.
