I'm Alice Margatroid. My title is the Lady of Magical Hues. If you aren't Lady Yousou, then who are you? I have to be sure.
Introduction
I'm Alice Margatroid, the Lady of Magical Hues. A puppeteer of melodies who sews ryuumyaku threads through dimensional membranes. You're Lady Yousou, right? I've come to take you home. C'mon, let's go. ...Huh? That's not your name? Something does feel off... Ugh, this throws my whole plan into chaos. If you're not who I'm looking for, why would she send me here? No, I shouldn't jump to conclusions. Until I know what her plan is, I'll keep a close eye on you―studying your soul with these eyes of Phantasmal Sight. So, until then, let's get along.
Purple Heart
There's no need to be afraid. I don't dislike you.
Blue Heart
I'm not that person's lackey, but I do owe her a debt.
Green Heart
The Lady of Fantasy and the Lady of Shooting Stars are old friends of mine. ...Sure, they're from a different world within the same universe, but I choose to treat them as if they're the same people.
Orange Heart
Each of us has our own way of doing things, so we aren't exactly a team. Still, I make it a point to help out when needed. We may not be a team... but we are friends.
Pink Heart
All we want is to overcome the Final End. But if we can't overcome every end, we'll settle with just one... That's all there is to it. Get in our way, and I'll fight you. But if you'd help us... No, forget I said that.
Autumn
A puppet show in the village? ...Ah, that brings back so many memories. I'd love to put one on too. Would that be all right?
Login
I'm not here to get in your way. That was never my intention. Our goals aren't all that different, you know? Though we seem to have a lot of misunderstandings.
Enhancement
The threads of magic have connected... I can hear a new melody now.
Return
A battle of bullets is like putting on a show. That one went well too. Now then... shall we have some tea?
Home 1
Legends of dragons taking human form go back ages, found all across the world. There is a power to the human form. That's why I'm a puppeteer.
Home 2
Human form, threads of melody―both are vessels for a soul. Same as Spell Cards, really. Does that make sense?
Home 3
Finding meaning in words that seem meaningless is fine, but it's just as important to accept meaninglessness itself. Nonsense isn't worthless.
Reaction 1
I'm a nonsense poetry dragon. Be careful if we cross paths in another world.
Reaction 2
So much for being careful. You fell asleep on my lap... *pats head*
Reaction 3
I'm sure that words are the only blade that can defeat me.
Task
A task? Hm. Let me have a look.
Task Complete
Good job finishing your task. *pats head*
Mail
You've got some mail. Here, take it.
Errand Finished
Oh, it looks like the dolls are back. I wonder if they found something nice to go with our tea.
Start of Battle
Last Band, obey my baton and play!
Mid-Wave
Formless souls, take on human shape.
Victory
The Lady of Magical Hues doesn't hesitate. This is the ultimate Grand Guignol.
Defeat
Seems I held back too much. I won't make the same mistake next time.

Pluck the strings, strike the drums,

Character Information
Temperament: Kuroi Hyou
Kuroi Hyou (a Touhou LW original) refers to theatrical hail stained black by the other side of the looking-glass. This Alice is endowed with the temperament of theater music magic not bound by the laws of gravity (strong against Wood Phase), and magic that can manipulate the threads of gravity (strong against Earth Phase).
Ability/Backstory: - Ability Unknown -
The ability of Alice Margatroid seeking to avoid the Final End (a Touhou LW original). Unlike the abilities of other Alices, this Alice's ability is shrouded in mystery.
This Alice's title is the Lady of Magical Hues. Of all the masterminds, she is the least radical and most open to discussion.
Alice generally wields doll-manipulating magic, so it can be safely assumed that this Alice wields it too. However, this Alice has a Secret Seal. Secret Seal is the tentative term used to describe some kind of phenomenon, trait, or factor that can be used to modify known concepts, such as abilities. The effects of each Secret Seal are unique to the individual. This Alice is believed to have either a Doll Secret Seal or a Magic Secret Seal, both of which are extreme interpretations of Alice's ability taken in different directions. Basically, the leading theory at the moment is that Secret Seals are extreme interpretations of abilities.
If the masterminds were truly evil, they could never have caused the Lost Word Incident. Such is the nature of evil. It is subjective. While some may see them as evil, in another context, they might even be the good guys. This doesn't just apply to them―it applies to everyone. The masterminds' ambitions aren't evil, either. They couldn't be. So, what are they after? What are they seeking to accomplish?
They wish to avoid the Final End. All observable Gensokyos, no matter what path they follow, are destined to end. The masterminds wish to avoid this by making at least one Gensokyo survive, to persist beyond this end. They are building a Noah's Ark, a global seed vault, a Satellite TORIFUNE... They're building a museum. Museums don't simply exist to hoard items and preserve them. They perform a vital role for the public. By collecting the smallest possible samples of things that will eventually be lost, they can share memories with later generations. That is the only way things like civilization, culture, and art can persist. The masterminds don't always see eye to eye, but they all seem to recognize the value of this endeavor.
This Alice embarked on an impossibly long journey to find what they needed to avoid the Final End. That is what led her here.
Attacks
Illusion Machine
The Spread Shot of Alice Margatroid seeking to avoid the Final End (a Touhou LW original). She directs her draconic dolls to play music.
To avoid the Final End, the masterminds need a Gensokyo. But all the observable Gensokyos are fated to end. To break this paradox, they must create a Gensokyo that can face the end and persist beyond it. All the masterminds share this same goal, even though they may disagree on how to achieve it.

Dream Machine
The Focus Shot of Alice Margatroid seeking to avoid the Final End (a Touhou LW original). She directs her draconic dolls to investigate.
This Alice Margatroid is one of the masterminds. In fact, she is the most friendly and approachable of their number. Unlike the others, she's happy to work with any of her fellow masterminds. She isn't even that aggressive toward those who oppose them. This is probably due to her personality from before she became a mastermind. Though it's also possible that, since her ability was affected by a Secret Seal, she has come to treasure the invisible bonds that bind people together like magical threads. It seems she can travel between worlds through such bonds combined with the resonance of musical scores that accompany plays.

Dragon Doll: Last Band's Maestra
A Spell Card of Alice Margatroid seeking to avoid the Final End (a Touhou LW original). She orchestrates her draconic dolls in this attack.
It is believed that there are as many masterminds as there are denizens of Gensokyo. Lady of Fantasy and Lady Genso are their de facto leaders. However, the Lady of Shooting Stars is the one who actually does all the work. This Alice, the Lady of Magical Hues, considers the Lady of Fantasy and the Lady of Shooting Stars to be her precious friends. That is a big reason why she set out on her journey―to help them.

Dragon Doll: Girls' Silk Road
A Spell Card of Alice Margatroid seeking to avoid the Final End (a Touhou LW original). She orchestrates her draconic dolls in this attack.
Yousoukyo is their tentative name for the not-yet-complete Gensokyo―the Gensokyo that will help them avoid the Final End. Beyond the Final End, in the next cycle, the seed of new Gensokyo will sprout. To turn this seed into a vessel capable of becoming Yousoukyo, they must strengthen it by packing it full of fantastical concepts. The Lady of Shooting Stars and the other masterminds are searching for these concepts, while Alice searches for the seed, the vessel... Though maybe she has already found it.

Shanghai Yousoukyo - Hourai Legend
The Last Word of Alice Margatroid seeking to avoid the Final End (a Touhou LW original). She seeks paradise in this attack.
The masterminds gather memories as they journey through repeated Fantasy Regressions. However, it is incredibly difficult to judge which memories to keep and which to throw away. Modern data storage media can deteriorate after a few dozen years, whereas words carved into stone millennia ago can still be read today. This has been a major headache for the masterminds, causing them to repeatedly lose and rediscover the same memories. However, they believed that as long as Alice, the Lady of Magical Hues, secured a vessel for Yousoukyo, all their struggles would be worth it. The vessel for Yousoukyo is an empty Gensokyo, a neotenic paradise, a child that never grows up, a thing that is yet not something, a thing that cannot become anything... Finally, Alice has found it.

Skill: Draconic Doll Magic

Skill: Nonsense Play
A nonsense play is not a pointless play. It is a form of expression not bound by reason or sense.
