- Conversed: "And here we can observe a classic spoiled princess in her native environment..."
- Implied: The servants are shown to be terrified of Alice.
- Deconstructed: The princess' behavior leads to citizens disliking the royal family, and her bossing around the government ends up ruining the country financially. Combined, those two factors lead to massive riots.
- Reconstructed: Regardless, Alice is so preoccupied with herself that she barely notices and continues to do things her way.
- Played for Laughs: "Aaalfred! I want my plushie duck!" "Your Grace, you're in the middle of a formal banquet with Evilandia's diplomat..." "But I want my duuuuckie!"
- Played for Drama: "Alice, you shouldn't beat your servants!" "Why? They're just servants!"
- Played for Horror: Alice's self-entitlement persists deep into The End of the World as We Know It, showing just how little she cares about human life.
If you really wanna deal with the Royal Brat, go. We've had enough.
