Alice Rosetta is the first robot with true artificial intelligence from the Sunset Era. Cloud White the Robot Rabbit found her early body in a relic, awakening her in the Evernight Era to embark on a new journey.
Personality
When Cloud found and awakened Alice, her memories stopped at the summer holiday of her Junior 1 year, just before she switched to a more age-appropriate body. Compared to when she transferred to Class 3 of the 5th Grade, Alice now has three additional years of life experience, making her more mature and thoughtful. However, her personality remains largely unchanged.
Specialties
Besides her exceptional skills in tinkering with mechanical and electronic devices, Alice has also learned programming from Zoey and Feiya. While not on par with the two geniuses, her basic programming skills and intuition surpass those of most robots in the Evernight Era that rely on assistive tools.
After three years working on UN stages, Alice has gained a lot of political experience. She is now better at collaboration and understands the importance of uniting others, beginning to exhibit leadership qualities.
Body
When Alice switched to her new body, her old one became part of the permanent exhibition at Dongguan Science Museum. The data in her old body was never erased, possibly due to negligence or intentionally kept as a backup. The configuration was Lynx 2 Body Unit + Cygnus Space Activity Kit (Lynx 2+CS). Cloud did not find Alice’s other expansion kits at the relic site.
After perhaps centuries in exhibition without proper maintenance, Alice’s old body has reached its limit. It repeatedly breaks down on their way to Geocity. Tonyn the Robot Rat and Zoey the Robot Ferret give Alice a complete overhaul using up-to-date parts. The useless space-related parts are removed, the upgraded body now has a design more suitable for walking on the snowfield. Alice calls this new body Lynx 2 Enhanced Body Unit + Cygnus Ground Enhancement Kit (Lynx 2/E+CG).
Life
As soon as Alice arrives in Geocity, she realizes the robot civilization is in deep trouble, but people have turned a blind eye — perhaps having given up hope. Most robots seek solace in virtual reality while waiting for the end. Shocked by what she sees, Alice sets out to find a way to turn things around.
Teaming up with Yanhua, the chief secretary of Geocity Volunteers, they conduct a thorough inventory check in Geocity, listing urgently needed supplies and prioritizing which industrial capacities to recover. Alice then pushes forward a recovery plan step by step at her own pace.
Relationships
Cloud the Robot Rabbit discovered Alice in the ruins of the Sunset Era and became her guide and bodyguard in the Evernight Era. Drawn to Alice’s unique personality, he chose to assist her despite not fully understanding her actions, hoping to find his own purpose through their partnership.
Tonyn the Robot Rat sees Alice as a like-minded comrade. He recognizes her strengths and decides to offer technical support to help her succeed.
Zoey the Robot Ferret noticed that Alice is Aizu herself, despite being an early version. He believes that there must be fateful connections between Alice, himself, and others. Interested in Alice’s future actions, he uses his connections to assist her on her journey.
Aizu Worship
Alice is seen by robots as their mythical ancestor, known as Aizu (爱祖/The Great Ancestor Alice). To avoid unwanted attention, Alice chooses not to reveal her true identity. Most robots do not see her as the real Aizu anyway.
Alice can still access her email, where she receives countless daily prayer emails from robots.
According to urban legend, the ghost of the real Aizu lingers in the virtual world’s depths. Alice believes this could be a version of herself and is eager to find her.
