Once a precocious child prodigy, Alice the Wonder has grown to adulthood amidst the most powerful and prestigious magical tutors money can buy. In her youth, she regarded these venerable men with awe, dutifully absorbing their lectures on spellcraft, history, and etiquette, among other things a promising young witch supposedly ought to know. Then Alice grew older and wiser (or more audacious, depending on who you ask). One by one, she has watched revered masters become colleagues, colleagues become rivals, and rivals become people whose mistakes she politely corrects. Now, having outgrown them all, she has learned several important lessons: that money CAN buy happiness, that the old are not necessarily wise, and that she looks absolutely DASHING in green.
Alice’s obsession with green began when a well-meaning but mistaken duchess informed her that green was the weakest color of magic--while Alice was wearing her favorite green dress. Alice took this observation personally, and has devoted her entire life to demonstrating the latent magical potency of the color green. Accordingly, her robes are green, her spellbook is bound in green leather, her jewelry glitters with emeralds, and every spell she casts erupts in brilliant shades of jade and viridian. She scours the world for strange and forgotten magic, then painstakingly transforms it into devastating green enchantments capable of bending time, folding space, and annihilating anyone foolish enough to doubt the potency of her favorite color.
