* '''Zig Zagged''': Alice is a little girl but looks like she can be a deadly combatant because she's holding a shotgun and being a little girl doesn't stop a shot gun from being deadly, BUT, the shotgun is too heavy for her and she can't even fire it without being knocked over from the recoil, BUT, Alice is using ObfuscatingStupidity to draw her enemies in and lower their guard for her "true" art of [[GunsAkimbo Twin Pistol]] [[DanceBattler Dancing]] which she uses to decimate her enemies, BUT, sooner or later she runs out of bullets and is once again, just a little girl, BUT Alice is always prepared and [[KnifeNut has knives]], BUT she is a little girl and has serious reach issues, BUT she more than makes up for it in sheer aggression, after all, she is a badass, BUT...
