Shin Megami Tensei V daily demon vol. 200 – Alice

Atlus has shared the latest demon trailer for Shin Megami Tensei V, which now provides a look at Alice. It has appeared in a ton of the franchise’s games, including Persona titles.

Thanks to the Megami Tensei Wiki, we have some background information on Alice. Read more about the creature below.

Alice’s appearance is based off of the titular character of Alice in Wonderland, while her personality and demeanor derive from a European folk tale, used to scare children into behaving.

In Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland and its sequel, Alice is a young girl attempting to escape boredom. After chasing a talking rabbit down a rabbit hole, she ends up in a nonsensical fantasy world populated by anthropomorphic animals, personified playing cards, and the Hatter, who hosts a never-ending “mad tea-party.” The character Alice herself is said to be taken from Alice Pleasance Liddell, a little girl who was close to Carroll.

In the myth, Alice is an Aryan girl who died at a young age. After becoming a spirit, she gained extreme magical power that drove her insane. Alice would visit misbehaving children at night and “befriend” them by killing them in their sleep, and taking them to the afterlife.

And here’s today’s demon trailer for Alice in Shin Megami Tensei V:
