Alice “Wonderland”

During the process of design, I intended to incorporate the idea that no character should be simply defined as “evil” or “kind”, as human beings and human emotions are always complex and multifaceted. Every character has strengths, weaknesses, and desires that make them unique and interesting. This idea is especially magnified in the design of the Queen of Hearts. She is a cyborg made with mostly machine parts and for the most part of the game she follows through with the orders given to her in her programs. However, after confronting Alice on her journey. She begins to question her identity and humanity. In the later stages of the game, I want to add details that show signs of her struggle (maybe a glitch in her program) and the process of how her humanity starts to fight back and challenge her programming.
