The reason Alice never opens her Grimoire is simple- it contains memories. Memories, of a time and place where she had a family she loved. The magic of the tome was able to remove those times from her, taking away the pain of loss...but also leaving a gaping hole in her heart. She tries to fill it with with her dolls, to create an artificial family, but what she lost can never be replaced.

Every day, the hole grows just a little larger.

Every day, she is pulled in just a little more.

One day, the book will swallow her completely, and Alice will dwell in Wonderland forevermore.

Most Youkai eat the choice cuts and leave the rest to rot, but Alice's history gives her more sensitivity. She uses all the parts of the human, wasting nothing: the bones are carved into doll parts and tools, the entrails and sinew used for thread, and the skin tanned for leather.

Wasn't trying to sound elitist. Just surprised at a few other shitty posts, not the Alice debate. Pertaining to that, it's pretty much a ZUN concept, and magician youkai are next to indistinguishable. However, Marisa needs to train and be taught, while Alice and Patchouli seem to have magic ability latent within them.

Following a parade of the 1,500 invited guests (including this author) across the bridge, the Crown Prince and Princess of Japan officiated the formal ceremony.

>Map showing the three bridges connecting Honshu and Shikoku islands. The Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, also known in Japan as the Pearl Bridge, has a record main span of 1,991 meters. By comparison, the bridge is 366 meters (almost ¼ mile) longer than the previous record holder, the StoreBaelt (East Bridge) in Denmark, which was also opened in 1998. The Akashi Kaikyo Bridge is also 580 meters longer than the Humber Bridge in England, constructed in 1981; 692 meters longer than the longest suspension bridge in the United States, the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge in New York, built in 1964; and 710 meters longer than the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, constructed in 1937.
