Alice Misumi (美炭 アリス, Misumi Arisu?), also known as Alice Maganuma (禍沼 アリス, Maganuma Arisu?), is a character in Mahou Shoujo Site.
Appearance[]
Alice is a girl with shoulder-length light green hair (blonde in the anime) and light green eyes with circles inside the iris and incredibly sharp teeth (both likely due to birth defects). She wears clothing that is limited to a school uniform consisting of a white shirt with an off-white sweatshirt, a red bow, a short blue skirt with white triangular features.
When using a Stick her hair grows longer and turns purple in the ends, looking like highlights, and like all Magical Girls the Emblem of the stick she's using appears inside her eyes, Alice being one of few magical girls to use more than one stick. When using her original stick her emblem is the Ⅳ symbol (Flip Phone). Her other temporary emblems are the Roman numeral XIII (PET Bottle) and Minus - ( Mechanical Pencil), and later obtained another more combat-oriented stick and gained the _ under bar symbol (Table Tennis Racket) Emblem.
Personality[]
Alice is an imperative girl, is usually in a good mood, being a master at knowing how to win the trust of other people and persuading them to achieve their goals with her. Her home has sparse furniture, leading to some of the other magical girls calling her a minimalist. However, Alice responds by saying that she doesn't need a lot of stuff, later it was shown that she never truly cared for her comrades and even pitied and looked down on their so-called fragile lives, comparing them to cotton candy and even went as far as sarcastically insulting them about their decreased numbers. Despite this, it's shown that she truly loved and care for her adoptive sister, Louise Misumi, as she became miserable enough to become a Magical Girl when she disappeared and is still hoping to find her.
History[]
Her mother committed suicide shortly after giving birth to her in the toilet of a park. It is unclear who or where her father is, since the man has never been seen or identified.
Having no other relatives (or if she did they didn't want to take her in), she was instead sent to a orphanage where she was bullied to near suicide. Instead she chose to run away, where she was somehow found and taken in by a man named Kichiro Misumi who became her adoptive big brother and guardian. It is unknown when or where they met her, but they also took in a girl named Louise who became their adoptive little sister, who was only one year younger than Alice. After Louise's disappearance (and likely being the reason for it), Alice became a Magical girl, having been contacted by the Mahou Shoujo Site of Ni shortly after and being handed her Flip Phone Stick the following day.
She immediately went to her Brother regarding the Sticks and the Site, and together they began to piece together the reason behind Louise's disappearance. Thus, they begun wondering what exactly happens to a Magical Girl who loses all her lifespan, and began to experiment. Their first test involved using a death row convict as their guinea pig, having him repeatedly use a Stick until he lost all of his lifespan. But to their disappointment, nothing happened after he died. From that, they concluded that their desired information be obtained by a Magical Girl who uses all of her lifespan. Following that discovery, they began searching for any suitable "Candidates" to test this theory out on.
They eventually cam into contact with A who attempted to silence them, but failed to do so. As a result they deemed A to be a suitable candidate for their experiment. They managed to figure out A's true identity, that being Isoko Anjou, after interrogating her henchmen. Afterwards they eventually tracked her down and kidnapped her, upon which they attempted to have her use up all her lifespan by forcing her to use the Hair Dryer Stick repeatedly. However, she instead convinced them to enter into a "pact" with her, when she revealed her knowledge regarding what happens to Magical Girls who die from losing all their Lifespan. Anjou explained that they become Site Admins, which therefore gave them Hope that their sister Louise could still be Alive. After which they learned about Nana and how vital she is in destroying the Mahou Shoujo Site, and they agreed to form a partnership with Nana in order to further their goal.
Abilities[]
Alice has been shown to be one of the most intelligent and analytical Magical Girl in the series, her skills in research being one of her best assets, she was able to successfully figure out the areas of Stick distribution of each Site Admin by going through the entire Slaughter Note and comparing each of the home addresses of each Magical Girl listed, then she was able to identify several unfortunate girls who are candidates for obtaining a Stick from a Magical Girl Site, and singled out Yuka as the most likely candidate and later was able to dig up all the background Information of Ni (Ochi Shizuka) and identify her as a former Magical Girl, proving herself as an incredible asset in figuring out the mechanics of the Site
Rewind[]
Alice has a stick that takes the form of a flip phone that can rewind 1 minute back in time. Despite having a limited amount of time it can rewind, this stick grants the user of being the only one aware of what happened before the rewind; allowing the user to be two steps ahead of their opponent. Her Stick was given to her by Ni.
Trapping Oxygen[]
In Chapter 53, Alice once tested Yuka Sumikura's stick. It seems that Alice is not interested in this stick though, considering how she said whoever wanted it can just take it.
Bomb[]
Alice obtained a new combat worthy Stick from the Collection of Sticks, When Kayo Offered it to them in order to battle the King. Her new Stick takes the form of a Table Tennis Racket, which has the power to turn anything it hits into a bomb which only explodes upon hitting its target- allowing her to bombard her target with explosive shells due to Alice's already high table tennis skills.
Force Field[]
Alice borrowed and used the Mechanical Pencil Stick after teaming up with Sarina, who at the time had Rina Shioi's Stolen Stick Collection in her possession. She used the Barrier Field of the Pencil to cut off the Telepathic Link between herself and Kiyoharu Suirenji, presumably when she was planning to double cross the rest of the Magical Girls.

- However, the stalker was mysteriously teleported away from the girl and he was left on top of a road sign, where Louise was then able to contact the police and her stalker was then arrested by her adoptive brother.
- This created a Domino effect, as Louise didn't suffer any kind of misfortune, she didn't become a magical girl and didn't die from overusing her Stick and thus didn't disappear, Alice herself never became a magical girl and their adoptive brother never investigated the Mahou Shoujo Site and thus never teamed up with Isoko Anjou and Nana.
