** [[CreepyChild Alice was born without any emotional capacity]], and it [[UncannyValley alienates the hell out of her]] (both in-story and in the viewers) due to the fact that she doesn't have any emotional reactions to scenes that generally invoke intense feelings (violent murders of relatives, heartwarming reunions, etc.) When others call her out on this, she may even respond by asking something like "[[LackOfEmpathy Why should I feel anything]]?"

** She's born like this and it alienates the hell out of her (both in-story and in the viewers) due to the fact that she will feature stoic reactions to what should be emotional scenes (violent murders of relatives, heartwarming reunions, etc.) She may even justify it by asking something like "Why ''should'' I feel emotions to these scenes when they are so common?"
** Her emotions are deliberately suppressed (by magical or medical means) because she's AxCrazy with emotions.

* '''Played For Laughs''': Alice is unfazed by the bizarre goings-on around her or causes embarrassing situations for other characters.
