For this week we have to research a game character we are familiar with and analyse some aspects.
I've chosen Alice, from "Alice Madness Returns". It's the sequel of "American McGee's Alice".
Character's main goal and motivation
She wants to free the Wonderlands from the Queen of Hearts. However, the Wonderland is just a metaphor of her madness, which comes from a trauma caused by the death of her family in a fire.
So in conclusion, she has to save Wonderland in order to cure and overcome her madness.
In the journey, she finds out about what really happened at the night of the fire, so she's motivated to keep going to know more about her past.
Greatest strength and weakness
Despite her madness, Alice has a very strong and cynical mind, what makes her determined to achieve her purposes no matter what.
Her weakness resides in her guilt. She is the only one who survived the fire and did nothing to help her family.
Who is the antagonist?
Alice doesn't find out until the end, but the real antagonist is her psychiatrist, Dr. Angus Bumby.
He caused the fire that killed her family. Dr. Bumby was not only treating Alice, but also her older sister Lizzie and becomes obsessed with her. The night of the fire he abused of Lizzie and tried to delete all tracks. But Alice saw him.
Afterwards, he manipulated Alice's memories, so she couldn't remember the facts and she goes crazy.
Describe the world she lives in
Alice lives in the Rutledge Asylum in London and travels through the Wonderlands in her mind.
Both sceneries are very dark and Tim-Burton-like.
