Mentioned Characters: Alice

This Alice Margatroid is an actor in a play. Alice is known as a puppeteer and magician who lives in the Forest of Magic. However, this Alice is only one of the many variations of her. She once lived in the Forest of Magic, and she desperately wishes she could live there again. That would be best for everyone. Even now, she still sees visions of what it was like back then.

Nobles and officials were addressed with the title of lord or lady as a sign of respect. However, this Alice and the girls with similar titles don't have any political power. They seem to use their titles as code names or aliases, but it probably goes deeper than that. Perhaps they are called lords or ladies because they are rulers of specific realms or territories. There is also a rumor that the title of lord is short for Lost wORD. This Alice is called the Lady of Magical Hues, but that isn't her only title. This is simply her title for the duration of the current incident―the Lost Word Incident. Also, it should be noted that this title hides more than just her name.

What are Secret Seals? What do they do? And what is their connection with Lost Words? So many questions, yet so few answers. Secret Seals seem to be some kind of effect or phenomenon that only the masterminds―the shadowy group of individuals that this Alice belongs to―can use. As with abilities and temperaments, each Secret Seal is unique to the individual. For example, Alice's Secret Seal is unique to Alice, and it's thought to be tied to the traits that define Alice in general. However, it seems some Secret Seals can share effects or even the same name. This is because Secret Seals are purposely not given unique names, so no one can know what they do from the name alone. (It's like how apples and oranges are both fruit, but they aren't the same fruit.) Secret Seals are incredibly varied, with some affecting the wielder and others affecting enemies or concepts. More research is needed.

Alice's Secret Seal goes by many names: Drama Secret Seal, Music Secret Seal, Doll Secret Seal, and so on. The only connection they seem to share is that they all have something to do with puppet shows. This Alice's doll band or orchestra seems to be a key component of her Secret Seal. She calls her doll band different names depending on its disposition, role, and performance. There are at least three different names: Yougakudan, the band of the past and the beginning; Gengakudan, the band of the present and the now; and Shuugakudan, the band of the future and the end. It is believed that by switching between them, she can do the impossible and travel between worlds. In effect, gaining power over fate, possibilities, and parallel dimensions.

This Alice uses her Lady of Magical Hues title to hide a key concept related to her: dragons in children's literature. This also includes dragons that appear in literary nonsense or dragons that appear in stories only to be slain. Books and stories for children aren't always written by authors who specialize in them. Case in point: one of the best-known authors of such tales was also a mathematician. A notable trend in children's stories, since ancient times, is that they tend to be a bit creepy and nonsensical. A dragon woven by words is slain by a sword of words. The entire ordeal is contained within a single poem. The girl lies down on the warm grass as she listens to it. This is a momentary tale of no particular note that could have happened anywhere.
