Alice Rosetta is the first robot with true artificial intelligence from the Sunset Era. In the future Evernight Era, Cloud the Robot Rabbit found one of her early body in a relic and revived her. Now, she embarks 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, 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 her main engineer Zoey and assistant programmer 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.
Alice’s political perspective has become more matured through her involvement in numerous international cooperation projects over the past three years. 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 centuries of 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 Sable 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 — seemingly having given up hope. Most robots seek solace in virtual reality while waiting for the end. Refuses to give up, 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 vital industrial capacities to recover. Thus begins the struggle to save civilization.
Relationships
Cloud the Robot Rabbit is Alice’s travelling companion in the Evernight Era. He discovered Alice in the ruins from the Sunset Era and became her guide and bodyguard in the new 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 is the engineer of Alice’s new body in the Evernight Era. He sees Alice as a kindred spirit and appreciates her unique strengths. He provides technical support for Alice, hoping she will revitalize their stagnant world.
Zoey the Robot Sable is the appearance designer of Alice’s new body in the Evernight Era. He correctly saw that Alice is Aizu herself, despite being an early version. He believes that there must be fateful connections between Alice, himself, and everybody in this era. Curious about Alice’s future actions, he uses his connections to assist her on her journey.
Aizu Worship
As the first true AI robot, Alice is revered by robots as their ancestor from a mythical time, 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.
