Alice is a transferred student who joined Class 3 in the first semester of the 5th grade. As a robot, she is immune to spells like human detection and mind confusion. She is cheerful, outgoing, inquisitive, and has sharp eyes for observation. She often appears unexpectedly in inconvenient places at inconvenient times, causing headaches for the spirit animals.
A few of Alice’s close acquaintances are spirit animals in disguise. Zoey the Spirit Ferret is her main engineer, Tonyn the Spirit Rat is her guardian, and Libbie the Spirit Oryx is her teacher. She sits between Leiting the Spirit Loong, Qiuye the Spirit Dhole, and Mingzhu the Spirit Shark.
Alice often encounters spirit animals in their anthro forms or during transformations—”states that should never be seen by humans.” Fortunately, she is blinded by her labels like “the pinnacle of human technology,” “the first true AI robot,” and “UN Young Ambassador of Science.” Determined to interpret the world through her understanding of “science,” she dismisses these sightings as visual glitches, giving the spirit animals a chance to react. Yet, every time Alice appears unexpectedly, the hearts of the spirit animals skip a beat.
Alice’s guardian, Tonyn, faces a dilemma about whether to address Alice’s double standard. On one hand, her self-deception hinders her growth as a person. On the other hand, maintaining the status quo allows spirit animals to keep their secrets, but lying to his child makes him uncomfortable.
