Alice Hiiragi

Description \ Bio

Alice Hiiragi is a character from Persona 5 Strikers. She is a fashion model and performing artist who has recently gained uncanny levels of popularity. Alice has light green hair with blue streaks in the front and lavender streaks on her buns, and dark purple eyes, She is around a head shorter than the protagonist. Despite her short body height, it is heavily implied that she is slightly older than Haru or Makoto. She wears a light blue and white striped bow, a lavender ace of spades card on her bangs, a capped bottle of turquoise liquid, a yellow striped ball and another turquoise small ball on her left bun and a white teapot with lavender details, a turquoise striped ball and another small yellow ball on her right bun. In addition, she wears a simple blue choker, a blue and white striped dress with a short front with a long back with short puffy sleeves and yellow little balls together at the bottom, light green ruffles, a blue top layer, a pink heart on the left with a dark gray and white striped ribbon, a clock with a golden heart at the end of its chain, blue striped ribbons, a yellow ace of diamonds card and a lavender card on its skirt. The skirt's layer in the left has a turquoise Cheshire cat's face, lavender bloomers with diamonds and clovers, and a big light blue heart at the bottom around each leg. She also wears light green leggings and white boots with a pink ribbon, yellow ribbon and green ribbon and light blue soles. She also wears a blue striped ribbon around her wrists, and another one behind on each of her boots. Her Shadow has pink hair with blue streaks, gaudy makeup and wears a provocative dominatrix outfit. She has two psychedelic eye decors on her back as her buns and wears a pair of high heels. She also appears to be significantly taller than her real world counterpart, having identical height as the protagonist instead of being shorter than him. Her crown is a purple crown with a yellow, glowing heart on top of it; if this crown is taken off, all desires from her Jail will be freed. Her Shadow transforms into a purple skinned rabbit girl in the same provocative clothing as her human form and at around four times the height of the protagonist, although her mouth is stitched shut at and she has fangs as teeth, her tail resembles a Hablerie Shadow with "eat me" written on it. Her high-heels are replaced with fishnet stockings and two carrots wearing BDSM masks tucked into them. During the second stage of her boss battle, her tail holds her cane. Within the public, Alice has the image of a cute and charismatic idol that can mesmerize all of Shibuya (whom she actually mesmerized with EMMA's supernatural functions) thanks to her brilliant fashion design, and acts so in public. She is also said to be quite attractive, according to Ryuji and Ann, causing the latter to wonder why she had to mesmerize people in Shibuya with EMMA in the first place. Behind the scenes reveal a completely different person, as she will simply snap and sadistically bully any man she knows to be in a stable relationship by changing their hearts and stealing their Desires so they break up their relationship and go for her instead. If anyone tries to stop her afterwards, she will even physically attack them by stepping on them, humiliating them and taking pictures of the bullying. Her Shadow is a dominatrix queen that simply exaggerates her negative traits to extreme levels, and shows a lustful side that enjoys making brave and famous men her servants. In reality, Alice is a depressed young woman that has incredibly low self-esteem with no friends at her former school Shujin Academy, with girls bullying her because a popular boy at school confessed to her and not one of them. Before she went into fashion, she used to be highly introverted and was nothing like the Alice seen in-game. The drastic personality change was a distortion that occurred when she used EMMA to artificially inflate her self-ego, causing her personality to become not very different from the people that bullied her before. However, one of her former bullies from Shujin spread insults based on her past school life in hopes of crushing her upstart career as well, driving her to use EMMA to exact revenge. Starting from changing the hearts of the lovers and friends of the bully who slandered her to become addicted to her instead, she starts changing the hearts of men in Shibuya so they become her lovers. She might also do this subconsciously, as soon as anyone reminds her of her former crush. If anyone questions the strange occurrences, she snaps and attacks them with the same method as the bullies in her Trauma Cell. Her paranoia is exemplified in how she views Ann Takamaki, who she immediately views as a popular bully similar to the ones who tormented her because Ann is a fashion model (when in reality Ann was a social outcast and completely lacked any aggressive impulses in school). As shown by her confused and horrified reaction to discovering the Phantom Thieves intend to steal her crown, she does not view herself as a bad person, simply one trying to survive and avoid becoming a target for bullying again. When defeated, her Shadow acknowledges that nothing she did improved her view of herself, and she was wrong to follow the example of her bullies who hurt her.
