Alice's parents are killed by monsters during a pilgrimage according to the [[Church of Martel]]'s teachings, and so Alice's childhood is spent at an orphanage in [[Hima]], where she is bullied due to her half-elf nature. Alice makes a pact with a demon in exchange for finding the "Forbidden Tome of Demon Lords", granting her control over monsters. Though the heroes destroy the book, she uses the demon's remains to draw monsters to the orphanage to save [[Decus]], who was about to be lynched for a crime the orphanage manager's sons committed. This action causes Decus to devote his life and love to Alice. She then goes on to become a vital member of the Vanguard, deciding that she needs to change the world.

Alice crosses paths with [[Emil Castagnier]] and his group in [[Asgard]], where she is looking for [[Colette Brunel]]. There, she beats [[Hawk]] with her rapier after he talks back to her and heads to the mayor's house. When [[Marta Lualdi]] tries save a little boy from falling off a cliff, Alice arrives and starts beating her, though Colette wards her off. In response, Alice makes Hawk and two of her monsters attack the party. After they are defeated, Alice flees and does not cross paths again until the events at [[Hakonesia Peak]], where she looks for Marta but decides to head to [[Palmacosta]] to cut them off. In Palamcosta, she tries to attack Emil but is prevented by [[Richter Abend]]. Later, when Emil and Marta head back to [[Luin]], they overhear Alice talking to Richter about what is going on conerning theirs pursuits of both Colette and [[Zelos Wilder]] in order to obtain their [[Cruxis Crystals]]. She then tells Richter that they should look out for each other, since they are both "comrades in more ways than one," which surprises Richter, who asks if she doesn't curse that fact. She and Richter then leave.

In [[Meltokio]], when the party is searching for Glacies's core, Alice reappears and attacks them with two of her monsters, though they are defeated. Then Alice sets off a collar bomb on the golem, and it latches onto Emil. [[Tenebrae]] sacrifices himself to save Emil, while she laughs and escapes on her monster. Shortly after, Decus kidnaps [[Seles Wilder]], and Alice is seen at the [[Cape Fortress]] holding Seles captive and threatening to torture her, while also revealing that Marta is the daughter of [[Brute Lualdi]], the leader of the Vanguard who are attempting to restore the Sylvarant Dynasty. She is stopped by the the Heroes of World Regeneration and retreats to another room. Alice and Decus realize they are unable to battle everyone and leave.

Alice shows up in Meltokio to help a Sylvaranti grandmother pleading for help from the Church of Martel for her grandson. When a priest from the Church all but spits at her, Alice intervenes while Decus abuses the priest. After getting Decus to stop when she is satisfied, Alice tells the woman to go to [[Flanoir]] for a doctor and to use her as a reference. She then leaves without further incident. Alice appears with the Vanguard when they occupy [[Altamira]], and she threaten to blow up the city with rigged bombs set around it unless the group surrenders Marta. The party manages to get rid of the detonator and turn off the power in the city, allowing everyone to escape. Alice tries to prevent this, but [[Presea Combatir]] intervenes and the group escapes. During the group's infiltration of Altamira, she tricks Marta and Emil into thinking she needs their help in saving an insane Decus because of his use of [[Solum]]'s core. She then sends Marta down a trap hole straight to her father and locks Emil in with Decus. After the party defeats Brute, she and Decus escape in the confusion, and she and Decus help Richter escape from [[Lloyd Irving]].

Alice greets the group at Palmacosta near the end, where she derides both Marta and Colette. She displays her self-confidence in her ability to change the world for herself with her own power, and she leaves, looking forward to their meeting in the [[Ginnungagap]]. There, Alice and Decus meet up with Emil and Marta for their final battle. Once they are defeated, Alice pretends to be weakened to draw Marta close enough then starts striking out with her rapier. Emil attempts to stop her, but Decus protects Alice by taking the full blow of his attack. Before he dies he tells Alice that he loves her no matter how she feels about him, and Alice finally realizes that she loves him back. Unable to handle the loss, she attempts to kill Emil with Decus's sword, only for Marta to strike her down from behind. In the end, Alice dies next to Decus.

Alice is described by Marta as a sadistic girl, with multiple events backing this claim. She takes delight in the thought of breaking Seles's arms and has created a scar on Hawk's back claiming him as her pet. She desires complete control over most, if not all, aspects of her life and seems to care little for the safety or feelings of those she uses, such as when she rigged one of her monster servants with a device to cause it to explode if it failed and how she uses her subordinates as furniture. Despite this, Alice acts in a falsely cute and adorable manner, which supplements the absolute confidence in herself and her self-sufficiency. She allows nothing to get in her way, but she eventually softens somewhat for Decus and him only, though she does aid a Sylvaranti grandmother attain treatment for her child.

Alice works primarily through her control over monsters. This power originally came from a pact with a demon, but after the heroes of world regeneration burned the forbidden book which sealed the demon lords, the demon passed away and she lost the power to control monsters. She uses machines with the name of Hypnos that run on [[Exspheres]] to replicate her control. She can use her weapon in melee combat to ward off foes, but her greatest strength lies in the magic her half-elf lineage grants her. Alice can cast spells of the Earth and Water elements, but her specialty is in Ice magic, as befits her Ice element nature as it manifests when she uses her [[mystic arte]], [[Fimbulvetr]]. She supplements her abilities with a wide range of healing and support spells.
