Doralice Mouse

"A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures to everything!"

- Doralice Mouse

Doralice Mouse is a 2019-introduced and all-around character. She's part of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and the next Dormouse, and currently attends Ever After High with the other Wonderlandians. In the destiny conflict, Doralice sides with the Royals, for her general belief in tradition and following her path in life. However, Doralice doesn't oppose to the Rebel cause and supports it with all her heart, as she believes everyone should be able to follow their happiness.

Personality
Doralice is a bright and friendly girl who is acquaintances with everyone in Ever After High and friends with many. She's very polite and cordial and that obviously makes things easier for her when talking and befriending people. Unsurprisingly, Doralice is a social butterfly and likes to be around people, generally getting overly sad when she's alone. She treats everybody with kindness, respect and consideration, and always hopes to be a safe place for others to come with their worries and deepest secrets. Therefore, the mouse is also excellent at keeping secrets and makes sure everyone can count on her for that.

Always open-minded and considerate of new ideas, Doralice is very receptive of everyone and everything, as well as very understanding and compassionate. She always analyzes things before judging them, and even so, hates judging people or situations, as she believes she is in no position of doing such thing.

Sometimes, Doralice might come off as rather lazy, or as someone who constantly lacks energy, but that's just a curse from her story. She is prone to fall asleep at any moment, and no one could ever imagine how much she has tried to stay awake. Before starting her day, she has around five cups of coffee, and even more throughout the day. She is, by nature, rather lively and spirited, but she just can't help when her sleepy moments come, and then she just... Sleeps. For that reason, Doralice is a constant subject of mocking among some students, and frequently needs to be defended by her friends, people who she trusts to have her back when she's sleeping and there are others making fun of her.

Speaking of trust, Doralice is very easy to trust others and has faith in most people, despite many continuously mocking her. Her heart is so pure and genuine that she sincerely doesn't think that others could do something wrong on purpose. She always tries to find a reason for them to be like this.

Doralice, being Wonderlandian, is by nature fairly magical and rather mad, in a very good way. There is an unceasing Wonderlandian magic flowing through her body, which no one (not even herself) understands, but everyone can feel it. Doralice has poor control over her Wonderlandian magic, but has full access to it and it has full access to her. It's not a surprise that she also says things Ever-Afterlings are not able to understand, as well as does things most students aren't able to comprehend... But that's just part of being Wonderlandian.

Appearance
Doralice, like the majority of the Wonderlandians, is a petite and short girl, but even shorter due to being partly mouse. She has slightly tanned skin and light chocolate-brown hair, which is very curly and down to her waist, and a baby face which makes her seem younger than she actually is. She has caramel eyes and a pair of cute caramel mouse ears on the top of her head, as well as a caramel long mouse tail. Her nose is also the one of a mouse, in a rosy brown colour. Her outfits are generally composed by dresses and skirts, generally in the colours brown and pastel pink, and her motifs include mouse silhouettes.

In her natural mouse form, Doralice takes the form of a really small, caramel-coloured dormouse with white whiskers, and who has been described as "incredibly adorable" by Madeline Hatter.

Hobbies & Interests
Unsurprisingly, Doralice is rather fond of tea and everything related to it. She never misses her tea time, despite constantly falling asleep on it, and even works at The Wonderland Haberdashery & Tea Shoppe as a waitress. She claims to be the one who prepares the best teas in the whole world of Ever After, after, of course, the Mad Hatter himself.

Dora also enjoys playing croquet, and does it frequently with Lizzie Hearts, whenever she gets the chance. She really likes the activity and finds it to be very calming.

Obviously, she's also very good at playing cards and enjoys doing so, though she isn't half competitive for this activity.

Baking and cooking is one of Doralice's favourite hobbies, and when she's not busy, she can be found in the kitchens of Ever After High doing something with Destiny Claus and Ginger Breadhouse.

Fairytale - Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

 * Main Article: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

How the Story Goes
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (commonly shortened to Alice in Wonderland) is an 1865 novel written by English author Lewis Carroll. It tells the story of a young girl named Alice, who falls through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world populated by peculiar creatures. The Dormouse first appears in Chapter VII - A Mad Tea-Party, attending to the tea-party, sitting between the Mad Hatter and the March Hare, being used as a cushion by both of them while he sleeps. He later appears at the Knave of Hearts' trial.

How does Doralice fit into it?
Doralice's role is small, but that doesn't stop her from loving it nonetheless. She's proud of her Wonderlandian heritage and claims that she will follow it, both for herself and to make her father proud of her. She's a Royal at heart and truly misses Wonderland, and hopes to soon come back to her beloved home to eventually fulfill her destiny.

Story Parallels

 * Doralice being sleepy and prone to sleep at various situations is, obviously, a nod to the Dormouse always appearing as a sleepy character in the story, as well as falling asleep during the tea-party.
 * Being a subject of mocking due to her suddenly sleeping routine is a reference to the Dormouse being used by the Mad Hatter and the March Hare as a cushion, as a way of making fun of him.

Family
Doralice is the eldest daughter of the Dormouse and his wife, who passed away at the birth of Dora's youngest sister. Dora and her three siblings were, obviously, raised solely by their father, who loves them dearly and always made sure to provide them everything they needed. She looks up to her father, loves him very much and admires him greatly, and hopes to be just like him someday.

As for Doralice's siblings, she has three: two three-years-younger brothers, who are twins, and a four-years-younger sister. Dora loves both of them with all her heart and tries to take a motherly figure to them, despire being rather young herself.

Friends
Dora is open for relationships! <33

The Wonderlandians
Dora is close to all the Wonderlandians, and enjoys being with all them, but is closest to some of them. Of course, though, she loves them all dearly.

She considers Madeline Hatter to be her best friend, and is truly glad she she is the one who will be the Mad Hatter when they tell the story. Doralice really likes to be with Maddie and loves to hang out with her, keeping her a close company and making sure Maddie never loses her wonderful bright spirit. They can be seen talking in Riddlish, in order to not let others understand their talks, and always share loud laughters when they're together.

Dora also likes to hang around with Alistair Wonderland, and their parents were very close to each other, to the point the Dormouse named his daughter after Alice herself. She finds him to be a lovely company and always supports his romance with Bunny.

Speaking of that, Doralice is obviously very close to Bunny Blanc, who is an anthropomorphic creature just like her. They get along fairly well and are often seen together.
