Alice XV

Alipheese Fateburn XV (Fifteenth) was the previous Monster Lord and the mother of Alice XVI (Sixteenth). She was said to have been raised by Tamamo. Much like Luka, she had dreams of coexistence between monsters and humans, however believing that monsters and humans were fated to fight one another, the only way she could see to bring that coexistence was to sacrifice herself in the hope that humanity would carry on her wishes. During her Monster Lord ceremony, she battled Cassandra, the only other challenger, for the right to become the Monster Lord.

She is later resurrected by La Croix via Cirque du Croix and forced to fight against Luka and her daughter.

Biography
When her castle was invaded by Marcellus, Lazarus, Merlin and Karen, Alice XV went to confront them, having locked up her daughter in a magic-reinforced prison cell to prevent her from following and to preserve her for the next generation. Tamamo tries to stop Alice XV, to no avail; Alice XV uses her powers to make her fall asleep.

After a battle between the hero group and herself, Marcellus then kills her, but the party is not satisfied; they had just realized her intentions and all begin to repent their actions. Interestingly, Alice XV seemed to give no hint of relenting to the heroes beforehand, seeing the battle as a necessity.

As the heroes begin to grieve the Monster Lord’s death and carry on her wishes, Alice XVI comes in, an outcome unforeseen by the late Monster Lord and somewhat causing her plan to backfire; Alice XV had underestimated her young daughter’s power and how strong the cell would have to be. Noticing her mother’s death, her daughter goes out on blind rage against the human party, killing Merlin and Karen, unintentionally ruining her mother's plan.

Killing Karen, the woman they both loved, Marcellus and Lazarus went back on their earlier grief and became the founders of Ilias Kreuz.

Alice XV’s death also sparked the next competition for the heir to the title on Monster Lord, leading to her own daughter and original heir to battle against those who would later become the Four Heavenly Knights in the first battle royale in the competition’s history.

Sometime in present day, when Luka recuperates in Gold Port after being defeated by Granberia, he somehow sees the flashback of the death of Alice XV. However, upon waking up, he does not confront Alice XVI about it.

Since Alice XV’s death, Alice XVI was fixated that she must die in order to avenge her mother. After Luka defeats Alice XVI but refuses to kill her, he responds that the daughter was simply a miscalculation that shattered the mother’s plans in mere seconds.

After Luka defeats Chrome twice, she explains her motives and that Alice XV banned her family’s antiques. Alice XVI explains that her elder sister, La Croix, was deemed insane, though she does acknowledge that her mother may have been too naive and that her actions may have driven La Croix more insane. Just then, La Croix shows up and reveals the three her masterpiece: Cirque du Croix, the very object she attempted to "impress" Alice XV with. She also reveals a new masterpiece from within the coffin: a resurrected Alice XV, much to Alice XVI's shock and horror. La Croix recalls her masterpiece figures and departs, Alice XVI swears vengeance for defiling her mother's grave.

Battle Overview
Cast Undine to avoid the majority of her attacks. The Daystar/Salamnader/Daystar command works as well. She hits hard, so save Sp for recovery.
