[ History ] :
Alice Liddell is quite the average girl... just one with the most cynical attitude you could come across. Unfortunately, she is also a very sad and messed up girl... she just doesn't know that, beyond that Blood Dupre (the Mad Hatter) looks like her ex-boyfriend. Peter watched her life, as her mother died, as her father began to turn away, and as it just got worse. Some fell out of love with her... and some fell off the earth forever... for the same reason her mother did. It just wasn't right. Not only was it unfair to poor Alice, but it was quite in stark contrast to his world (though Peter doesn't understand that very well, or if he does, he doesn't care when it comes to his people, so he's just a bit psychotic in that sense). And he fell in love with her.
Her pain was his. Her sadness, was his. And so, he altered Alice's memories... so that she would be with her sister just before she came to his world, where she could stay forever, and think none of that badness had ever happened. He loved her enough to even recruit Nightmare to help him. The problem was... dear Alice didn't really know any of that. So when Peter appeared... and tried to get her to chase him back to his world, he was surprised when she wouldn't listen and as such went back to his real form, and picked her up suddenly, only to just up and kidnap her, and proceed to fall down the hole to Wonderland with her.
... It was quite the long fall to Wonderland, too. He rather liked falling with her, but they couldn't fall forever, after all. When they finally hit the bottom, so to speak, he brought Alice into their game, now--because all games have rules, she needs to drink that potion for him, after all. But when stubborn Alice, the wise girl (without prior knowledge of Peter seeing her life and altering it, in a sense) that she is, refused, since he seemed like some "rabbit kidnapper" and a pervert to boot. Not helping the situation, Peter drinks it himself, and forces her to ingest it so she must stay (and in that sense, eventually go back once it's been finished) by mouth-to-mouth. Unwise on his part, since from then on she viewed him as nothing but a pervert (and still does, because he isn't doing himself many favors in how directly he's approaching her... but he can't afford to tell her the truth, because it would crush her, after all). Peter shortly after leaves her all on her own to return to his ever-busy work as the Prime Minister at the Castle of Hearts.
But it isn't long before Alice gets involved with a lot of people, but on the way, she does eventually reach him at the Castle. He's completely ecstatic she's there--they must be soul mates! He brought her here to make her life perfect, and he would be her friend and she would love him for it, so surely she realized it and came to see him! ... Right?
... Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. Still, after some... liveliness at the tea party with Vivaldi, the Queens of Hearts, Alice and Ace (the Knight of Hearts, and a role-holder--those with faces in Wonderland, like Peter himself as the White Rabbit, or Julius as the Clock Mortician, or Blood Dupre as the Mad Hatter, for example) seem to be on friendly terms and this, is where you see Peter's jealousy. Luckily, Ace escapes to go get lost as usual elsewhere.
Meanwhile, Peter tries to force her to stay at the Castle and demand that she only love him, and states that only he can love her. Doesn't work out, but he shows her to her room for one night cycle, at least. There she meets a certain sickly incubus again, and once she leaves, Peter follows her. Now, here is where we see why everyone prior has warned Alice that Peter can be dangerous: the soldiers at the Castle (who are not role holders therefore have no FACE), have come to tell him the Queen wants him again. Unfortunately, since death is nothing to Peter, he turns his large clock into a pocket-sized Pistol with very deadly accurate aim. He kills all the cards, treating it simply as "The soldier's order never got to him", more or less, until Alice protects one of them, unaware and valuing life much more than Peter does.
Therefore he refrains from killing the card, because he would never want Alice mad with him.
Afterward, fast forward a bit, and you'll see Peter goes to see Alice and ditch his usual duties (he's listening less and less to the Queen, Vivaldi, much to her great annoyance and jealousy, everyone's growing to love Alice now), she's had a tea party and is with Elliot after Blood left in a hurry, all childishly jealous. Peter becomes equally jealous when he asks Alice if Elliot is her lover--he's come to accept she may not like him, but as long as she's here and happy, then he is happy. Or so he fools himself into thinking, once more. The March Hare--that is to say, Elliot--and he get into a serious fight. Alice denies she likes Elliot, but unfortunately, to Peter, that was just asking to open the floodgates of his jealousy so he could whisk her away, keeping Alice to himself. If he wasn't her lover, then he should die. It would be alright to kill him, after all. Who needs friends? He would be her friend!
Luckily for Elliot, that just turns into ridiculous banter over whether or not the other is a rabbit, somehow. As funny as that is (and as exasperating to Alice as it is), it's interrupted yet again when a soldier appears... the same one Alice saved. She mentions she can recognize him and says how, and this sends Peter to a whole new level of hurt and unhappy. His jealously unhappily ending the fight with Elliot and not wanting to see the Queen, well... what else? Peter pulls a gun on the remaining soldier, but stops to leave with him because he'll do anything for Miss Liddell so she won't be mad at him.
Really, to Peter, that was difficult, even if the soldier was a worthless replaceable one. But he'd do it for Alice.
A lot of things happen between then and what happens next, but Peter isn't much apart of them. So pressing fast forward... you'll find that Peter is there to try and make Alice love him as she's once more visited the Castle. Why force; why not try or leave again? Her happiness was his, but... he feels he may go insane if he doesn't have some form of acknowledgement for his part in all of this (which by the way he thinks she should know, seriously), or at least like him for what he's done for her. But Alice simply views him as someone she dislikes who is a pervert, and that she couldn't love him. Besides, she doesn't understand Peter's point of view on the matter and how purely dedicated to her alone, now, he is. And how he was this and this alone from the beginning.
She announces she's there to see Ace, and he gets angrier, saying that she jumps shamelessly from man to man. Peter is rather upset by the fact she has no love for the one who brought her here in the first place and only wished for her happiness... that just isn't right in his eyes--he'd been so loyal to her! So kind! Not only that, but it's becoming highly evident Ace hates his part in their game as Knight of Hearts and tries so hard to deny being that... he has to go and become a traitor--both to the Castle and to Peter himself. When Ace decides he's going to be interested in Alice, and interrupts Peter as he tries to force her into doing something; showing affection back in some way because if he doesn't get it he might just go mad--Peter wants him to butt out. It isn't his business! Alice was his true love! His only love! Ace has no place (ha... haha...) being here or with Alice! She was meant to be with him alone... after all, they were practically the same, for her pain had been and still is his, and he wants her happy. However, as Alice denies she likes Ace... Peter vows to kill him... even though that gets interrupted by learning Ace has been betraying them for Julius--betraying his role and working for another territory--and to even make Peter go tell the Queen to kill him off as a role-holder (likely because he wants to be someone else, perhaps he may think it will change him), but Peter draws the line firmly this time, giving Ace an ultimatum:
... Stay away from Alice--the Knight says he likes her, but he's using her as a human shield! The outrage!--or die, there and now. Only HE can love Alice, and she has to be his! Ace and Alice escape when Alice says to stop, or she'll never speak to Peter again. This crushes him even harder than learning she was there to see Ace and that they could be together, or that she lives with Julius, and it all piles up to eventually make Peter possibly more psychotic than he already is. But he has no choice, other than to obey her desire so that she won't hate him. It's a little before this he's suddenly wondering why his ears feel so heavy, and damp... why, hello there, third world...?
[ Personality ] :
As is obvious in chapter eight, Peter had no life, he feels, before he discovered Alice Liddell. So he whisked her away, out of his usual style, fixed her memory and recruited Nightmare to help him and put her in their never ending game. Peter is dedicated to her; his mind and soul now can only THINK of her.
Before, Peter was straight as an arrow. A boring arrow... and a dangerous one. He enjoyed his job, never cared for his family or those around him, and took the 'war' going on between the Hatter, Castle, and other territories quite seriously; even enjoying it. However, he did not realize how boring Wonderland was until he saw Alice's world, and saw her. As they say about things like love... it's quite similar to blood (the substance, not the person!): once you get a taste, if you lose it too much? Well... you die. And Peter felt he would die inside and never come back (which was odd for Wonderland, the first time he probably cared about anyone's life at all, even) if he didn't get to her... so he whisked her off and forced her to stay.
... But oh, the other men and even the Queen liking HIS Alice? Not good. Ace is the worst of them all, a traitor to him at best, changing his mind about liking her. Mind you, Peter already poisons their Queen regularly and sends assassins at the Ace/Knight of Hearts, saying it's to boost his skills. Peter wants to kill him, and everyone else, including threatening Julius at some point to further prove his love to her. To say Peter is possessive of Alice is an understatement. Not only because it all has to do with him (but she denies it!) and they found each other so coincidentally (in his view), but because there can ever only be one Alice in any world. When she tells him to butt out, that's the final straw... and a good way to explain another part to 'Peter White'.
He's insane, from the point of view of those in a normal world... and possibly even in Wonderland. He'll kill needlessly (to the eyes of Alice and outsiders looking in) because those in Wonderland have clocks for hearts. Yes, that's right: CLOCKS. Julius Monrey fixes the broken clocks for people. Basically...? This explains why Peter and the resident role-holders have such a blatant disregard for human life. After all, to them, if they die, they can easily be replaced. The body would be different, most likely, but the role and clock would be the same, as Julius fixes the clocks. Replacements are always forthcoming. Therefore, there's no difference. But Alice is not like that... so he has to protect her. If she remembered it all anymore, her own heart might stop... the poor girl. And he cannot allow that to befall Alice. So Peter will attempt to easily toss almost anyone away and threaten others who come near his Alice because of this. But more than that, Peter can't be bothered with what isn't his business or Alice's, after all.
Even if that business is to, obviously, tclean up of what happens when someone dies; by his hands, no less. They're useless if they aren't Alice, whom is special... so why should he let THEM live? On the other hand... Peter is so devoted he eventually loses whatever pride in his role he may have had (and dignity) by being willing to become the cute rabbit--in form, that is--she will love (even if artificially). He yearns for her love with a desperation so fierce that if she doesn't love him... he'll go completely insane and feel he's lost meaning. And he does, literally, considering he attacks Ace. Ace is lucky Alice saved him, frankly, because Peter won't hesitate to kill UNLESS she's involved or he is inconvenienced by it. ... Not that Ace dies that easily, mind you. That is why he is so dangerous--and also what makes Peter so devoted.
Alice is like nothing in all the world... or, his world, anyway. And he was the first to help her, first to say he loved her, the first to rescue her from sadness... she should be his and she should love him! So it goes without saying Peter is a dangerous man if angered, and perhaps even for somewhat ridiculous reasons... but then, love makes men do stupid and dangerous things, doesn't it? That is why he is also so pure--he only focuses on Alice. He's totally devoted to her.
As I said before--it's a good metaphor--Peter is as straight as an arrow and solid in his conviction to do anything to make her like him. So, needless to say? He has changed a lot because of their outsider. However, where I'm taking him from will be before he takes that form for her, so it's likely he'll has his yandere and anger switch tripped. That is to say, the ruthless, organized, uncaring and treating non-role-holders as 'useless' and the same as rules when it comes to matters not, what he believes, important enough to make Alice also love them, and therefore make her heart happy.
Peter may seem a pervert at first glance, but in reality, he's actually (quite possibly) the one of purest intent from the very beginning. He doesn't understand why Alice would not like him for giving her the liquid (which is what she has to drink from the bottle to be forced into their game--it's the rules, or she won't stay!), but... he understands it was by force and a kiss. Though to Peter's point of view, it was no big deal since she was his soul mate, right? They'd end up together, after all! He brought her there. Their hearts were as one--or should or would be. They should end up together and will because he rescued her and brought her there! If they don't... she'd go back and never be happy again. So of course she would love him! She wouldn't want to be unhappy, right? Peter can't understand why she would want to be, but to Alice, it just seems like he's not making sense, as she doesn't even know Peter was the one who quite possibly did the most for her out of all of the role-holders...
[ Strengths/Weaknesses ] :
Obviously, Peter isn't as strong as his rabbit somewhat-similar-because-of-their-ears relative, the March Hair (or Elliot, who does NOT have rabbit ears and is most DEFINITELY not a Rabbit and a dog, really!). And he doesn't have as big a gun. But you put Alice near him, and he would literally die for her multiple times if it made her happy, or protected her from any more pain.
He's a good shot with his clock, though. Yes, you read that correctly: his clock. It turns into a pistol. And back, might I add, so surprise is probably going to be useful in Vatheon if he has to fight for any reason, though guns are as normal as anything else in his world (Wonderland), since no one really 'dies', per se.
Other than that, he's also pretty fast--he has to be, rushing to be on time and as fast as he kidnapped Alice, after all. And he IS quite smart and perceptive; he would need to be as the role-holder for the White Rabbit and Prime Minister for the Castle of Hearts and the Queen of Hearts. But on the opposite side of things, he's... not very resilient. Being wounded probably wouldn't work well with him, despite the fact he likes to make the wounds himself.
Peter has an obvious weakness for Alice and a disregard for life, which is both what makes him himself and also makes his undoing. ... Also, his ears are sensitive to being pulled on, so in his smaller form, he freezes completely and is easy to carry away. Not as portable in his normal bishounen-human-like form, though, but I imagine those ears are still as sensitive. That, and he loves carrots, rather like unlike Elliot.
[ Other Important Facts ] :
... So, did I mention he loves Alice? And oh, he loves Alice. ... But in all seriousness, he would perform a Die For Me! spell if he could do anything to help her (... well, sort of... as long as it doesn't involve the other men, unless she likes them, then he'd rather make himself miserable because he loves her enough and just wants her to be happy, though it's not enough), and would die or defend her honor at the drop of Blood's hat.
When he's late to his 3pm meeting with the Queen, it's never late. Peter is never late. He isn't late because it isn't 3am, you see, and regarding Elliot (the March Hare), well. NO, they are not related and aren't similar at all so don't even suggest it to either of them, they hate one another.
... Also, don't pull on his ears, which are, in fact rabbit ears--nope, he has no human ones whatsoever, even under that white hair--and Elliot is just fooling himself and YES he loves carrots, definitely weak to those. For his Alice he would give carrots up forever, though, if she needed or wanted him to. Therefore... he's even weaker to Alice, and it's apparent and a little... well, sad for a man, but pride is nothing if you have found someone you love, after all. You'd sacrifice anything for them. Or... well. Peter would.
[ Sample ] :
He Could Fall Forever
It was so sad... to him, to see someone like her. But now she was here, and he had the perfect idea to get her to Wonderland. If he took that form, surely she would chase him. Her memories were altered, so it wouldn't be a problem. Nightmare even... was helping him.
But it was almost a forbidden love, and it went against all that he was supposed to be. Doing something 'off the beaten path,' as it were, was not like him at all. But seeing her change had made him change. ... Unfortunately, as Peter watched the girl pretend he wasn't there, it came bubbling up into anger and a necessity to get her there. So he picked her up, dress and all, and told her kindly not to scream in his ears while he saved her.
And then, there was nothing but falling that he remembered. Falling, with Alice--not even there and it was already different and new and amazing! He could learn to love falling if she seemed to like it--of course she did, she had to, she was with him, after all.
He could learn to love this feeling... and he wouldn't care if the hole never came out the other side to his world. That suited him fine, now. He had Alice. Alice would love him... but alas, it wasn't so. Still, he had her now, and she would thank him so much, she would have to like him and stay forever... and then his world would be different and perfect. She would be happy... and he could be happy if she were happy.
He could fall forever that way.
