Continuing in the daily series until I get it out of my system, Alice in Wonderland. Who Disney may no longer have, I’ll have to check. Or, you know, just keep having fun without research.
Alice found the land of Wonderland quite by accident when she was younger. Back then, it was a lovely place of dreams and, though the Queen seemed cruel, she left a happy child. Her parents thought it was nothing more than her imagination running away with her and didn’t believe the stories.
It wasn’t until she was older and she thought that it might have really been only a dream that she discovered the looking glass. It was on a dare from some of the other girls at her boarding school that she snuck into the attic of their dorms and found the looking glass, as if she were destined to. The white rabbit was there, jittery as he waited and informed her she was late before taking her through the looking glass.
Wonderland was a vastly changed place. The Queen had been overthrown and been replaced with an even greater evil. Horrible things had happened and those who remained were twisted and changed. She was given gifts and magic to try and stop the evil, but Alice couldn’t even get close to it. In the end, she was sent back, too many lost already, and watched over the portals between Wonderland and reality, ready to beat back the threat when it came, learning what she could of magic on this side from merlin and other sorcerers so that she could be strong enough.
She remained an ambitious girl in school nonetheless. She desired balance between watching over the mysterious barrier between the two worlds and, in doing so, she discovered there were others at her school with little gifts that were willing to help her.
Of those from Wonderland who came across the barrier, the Cheshire Cat was most troubling, though she could do nothing about him. He went to the Academy, claiming that they would likely come through where they would be the least noticed and remained very helpful, but there was something in his motives that she simply didn’t trust.
