Persona 5 Strikers
Alice is a talented model and idol who is known for her cute looks and unique worldview presented through her merchandise. She is a former student of Shujin Academy and knew of Ann Takamaki prior to the events of the game due to magazines.
During her time in school, she hand no friends and was very introverted. She was later bullied when one of the popular boys confessed to her, as some girls became jealous and retaliated. It is heavily implied that the bullies stamped on top of her, took videos or photos of the abuse and eventually took away her crush. However, one day, she found a dress that inspired her to become a fashion model in order to become a light for other people, thus deciding to become a fashion designer. Unfortunately, her bullies went around spreading details about her school life to ruin her upstart career.
She found access to revenge via the EMMA app, allowing her to gain an abnormal amount of popularity and a merchandise empire, she would eventually use the Metaverse to not only inflate her popularity but take revenge on her bullies by changing the hearts of their lovers and friends. If someone's desires are stolen by Alice they will break all relationships and become infactuated with her instead. Alice's keyword is public ensuring she can steal as many desires as possible, therefore unwilling bystanders who enter the key word will have their shadows dragged into the Metaverse and get their desires stolen. This also happens to innocents who remind Alice of her past relationship; subconsciously using EMMA to change hearts. If anyone tries to stop, challenge or question Alice, she would perform the same actions as her bullies, the was often the case with her past manager, rendering him unable to leave his house.
Due to her experience at Shujin, Alice does not talk about her school life; going as far to erase all mentions of where she went to school. Despite her fame, there is no mention of her in Shujin's list of famous graduates indicating that she graduated well before Makoto became student council president.
Alice is first encountered when the protagonist, Ryuji and Morgana are tasked with buying camping tools, where she is seen giving cards with her key word, "wonderland", to people to promote her merchandise in Shibuya 705. The protagonist is seemingly given the last of the 100 cards that Alice gave out, allowing the trio to enter Shibuya Jail where they meet Alice's shadow self; the true nature of Alice opposed to her public persona.
The following day, the Phantom Thieves find out that evenryone in Shibuya is memorized by her. Occurences of their devotion include: fans forgetting to eat or drink causing them to collapse due to fatigue, people who are not fans of Alice being fired from their jobs, people going bankrupt buying merchandise and then taking out loans to buy more, as well as street fights between anti-Alice fans. Married men who have their desires stolen will promptly divorce their wife and become completely devoted to her.
Alice is seen once again when the protagonist and Ann go to the TV station to attend a talk show. Following the male host asking questions about the rumors that she has a crush, he quickly becomes mesmerized; begging to marry her in front his co-host, his fiancé. Following the sudden ad-break, Alice shows her true nature by smirking.
When her manager follows her down a corridor, where the protagonist and Ann are lurking, to ask what is wrong, Alice stomps on his chest before videoing him, coercing him into staying silent. She claims that her previous manager endured the same treatment until she broke him and that this is not the first time that she has physically attacked this manager. After Ann and the protagonist confront her, she tries to "befriend" them. Eventaully, after the two leave, she recognizes the protagonist from 705 she questions why he isn't obeying commands like everyone else.
Folloing the defeat of Shadow Alice, she reappears on the same talk show confessing her violent behavior live on camera, leaving her reputation in tatters.
While under police custody, she testifies that she was shocked that people started to confess to her after she used EMMA to appoint herself Monarch, but quickly took joy in the events that followed. Zenkichi eventaully gains her phone to give to Futaba, who cracks it to find that Alice's version of EMMA has been monitered by a third party.
