Black Alice/Paradox

Black Alice is a returning character from the original trilogy and is one of the three Monster Lords battling for the title after the disappearance of the 16th.

Biography
She is first mentioned by the chief elf in Enrika.

The chief elf brings up Black Alice. She is the second of the three Monster Lords battling for the title, after to the sudden disappearance of Alice the 16th. With Black Alice being the most warlike of all of the Monster Lords she naturally attracted a unique group of monsters. The monsters who opposed peace and co-existence. She has a smaller army overall, compared to the 15th's, but the more powerful individually.

The elf mentions that while Black Alice hasn't entered conflict with Alice the 15th's faction yet, it's only a matter of time before they do.

Black Alice is briefly seen in the Puppeteer's Tower.

After the party leaves the tower, Kagetsumugi returns to the throne room.

A figure asks what Kagetsmugi learned from her short encounter with Luka, but there was not enough time for Kagetsumugi to make a judgement on his power, thanks to Ilias/Alice abruptly dragging him out of the tower, so she simply replies that she'll save her judgement for now, which the figure mentions as a noncommittal answer. Kagetsumugi then says that the figure's judgement is probably similar in her eyes. The figure is then revealed to be Black Alice.

Black Alice addresses Kagetsumugi as the last puppeteer, the fourth Kagetsmugi. It is not a name, but a title honoured to the leader of the clan.

Kagetsmugi is in debt to Black Alice as she was the one who created the Kagetsmugi division, over 500 years ago. She is naturally loyal to Black Alice and provides her services to her exclusively.

Black Alice brings up how her dream to control the world was ruined twice now. The first time by Heinrich, the second by Luka. She finds it amusing how regardless of her consecutive failures, she continues to pursue her dream. Even after being infused with the power of a god via the White Rabbit drug, she was still unable to defeat Luka. Kagetsmugi is amazed that such a feeble looking boy would have the power to beat Black Alice in any timeline.

Black Alice prepares to summon a variety of some of the most powerful monsters. The ones who reigned throughout the Great Monster Wars. Azi Dahaka, Sun Wukong, Quetzalcoatl, Tezcatlipoca, Izanami, and Himiko. All named after deities of various beliefs.

Kagetsumugi is impressed, and she unveils her creations. Alipheese the 9th - Black Alice takes particular pleasure in seeing her younger sister in this sorry state - Alipheese the 11th + 12th - they were missing too many body parts so she was forced to join them both into one being, but Black Alice likes them better this way - and Alice the 6th. Kagetsumugi has more Monster Lords being made for Black Alice, but she will have to wait longer for them. Despite gathering their bodies, they are heavily damaged.

Black Alice is particularly pleased with Kagetsumugi, and believes that with their forces combined, they will surely start an "enjoyable tea party."

She hasn't been seen throughout the entire part 1 and part 2 but was mentioned by some of her subordinates.

She is mentioned by Daji in the post-collab of Collaboration Scenario that she and Kagetsumugi, made a bargain to hand out a Mukuro design blueprints and that they will provide minor assistance to the Alliance, mass produced by Kagetsumugi.

Black Alice is also mentioned by Tamamo claiming she has been helping the Tanukis in their second war against the Kitsunes, so Tamamo commands Yao to ask for help from Luka in Upcoming Events of Part 3.
