Alice

Alice C (アリス, Arisu) is the first person Haruhiro encounters in the world of Parano.

Alice's gender is unknown as while their face looks female, they speak like a man, and more importantly, unlike all other characters, the author never used pronouns for Alice always using "Alice" instead.

Appearance
Alice is described as pretty with a petite stature. They appear to have some form of albinism.

Alice is about 162 cm tall, has thin shoulders, small head. The color of Alice's eyes is red, similar to that of arterial blood. Their hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes are pale white, their skin is also so white that it seems translucent.

Haruhiro compared Alice with Lilia in a way, how both of them give off an aura of otherworldly beauty.

Personality
Alice describes themselves as "kind at times, and cruel at others".

Probably because of the bullying when they were a child and the harsh nature of Parano, Alice is cold toward those she doesn't know and act thought. Yet they were willing to save a stranger like Haruhiro 2 times in a row and then provide him basic information and help, showing that it most likely just a front.

Once they're warm up to someone they become more friendly and rather talkative.

Before Parano
Prior to coming to Parano, Alice lived in another world. Though unconfirmed, it could be the same world, Haruhiro came from.

Alice had always been bullied harshly (apparently because of their appearance) and called "Alice", even though it isn't their real name. For Alice, this bullying left a big never-fading wound and was the reason behind developing the cruel side of their personality.

One day they went with some of her friends exploring a nearby cave and they eventually wandered into Parano.

Before Level. 13
Before meeting Haruhiro, Alice has spent a considerable amount of time in Parano. They gained a good grasp of how everything in Parano is working, became a strong Philia magic-user by obtaining a lot of Id, apparently worsened their relationship with other inmates in Parano and made Ruins No.6 their hideout.

They once tried to build a clock to measure time in Parano, since there's no sun they tried to build a water clock but they had to work out so many problems that the system (still not working) end up the size of a tower, frustrated they smatched it.

Level 13
Alice meets Haruhiro when they save him from the dream monster that had been created when he fell asleep not long after arriving in Parano. Despite acting to save him from that monster, Alice at first, acts rather coldly toward Haruhiro, ignoring him, refusing to answer his questions, and acting like he is a nuisance. That said, they do give him a facemask as protection from Parano's wind, end up answering some questions albeit reluctantly, and allow Haruhiro to follow them to their home in Ruine n°6. Finally, Alice seems to accept Haruhiro as a companion after they save him a second time (this time from the mental attack of a Dazzler) and act more friendly thereafter.

As they reach Ruin n°6, Haruhiro and Alice come across Ahiru who asks her to come back to the King and taunt them saying that Alice should eat Haruhiro if they really wish to become more powerful. Shortly after that Ahiru leaves but not before using his magic to destroy the whole ruin. Being inside the ruin Haruhiro and Alice try to escape but the former still not use Parano influence end up losing hope, and Alice has to come back and save him a third time by using her magic to shield both of them from the falling rubble. They then manage to console Haruhiro whose mental health has been seriously damaged by Parano, showing the kind side of their personality.

After the rubble stop falling, they leave the ruin and journey to the tower of heaven Haruhiro telling them his story along the way and Alice educating him some more on Parano. After ascending the tower to find their way they then depart for Ruin n°2, Bayard Garden, the home of the trickster Haname.

Once in the garden, Haruhiro decides to go his way to find his lost teammate (probably by searching from the tower of heaven), but before he is able to even leave the garden, he is attacked by Kejiman now transformed into a half-monster. And while Alice easily dispatches the half-monster, the garden still suffers some damage from the fight causing Hamane wrath, which manifests as a tornado. This prompts Alice to once again protect Haruhiro, shielding both of them within their shovel. It's during that time that they realize the nature of Haruhiro's magic: Resonance the 4th and rarest type of magic which lets the user strengthen other people's magic. After that discovery, Alice decides to help Haruhiro in his search in exchange for his help.

Level. 15
From their absence when Team Haruhiro, Team Io, and Hiyomu awaken within the forbidden tower it can be deducted that Alice and Reon (the King) were the 2 people Leslie kidnaped for his works.

Abilities
Alice is a very strong Philia magic-user. Alice's fetish item is a shovel. When enhanced by Haruhiro's Resonance magic, Alice's shovel becomes a tent-like shield capable of covering two people in close proximity. The shovel's outside or skin splits into strands revealing a meat-like stick. The strands form a basket and continue to weave together until there are no more gaps.
