White Rabbit/Paradox

"White Rabbit's Theme"

Not to be confused with the drug, White Rabbit

A mysterious rabbit who claims her only role is to lead Alice and Luka, but to where and to what end, is unknown.

Biography
Prior to the beginning of the game, she broke into Alice's Throne Room, evading everyone and sealing the Monster Lord. She then ran off with the intent of getting Alice to follow her.

She is first met in Iliasburg.

The White Rabbit pops up in Iliasburg the second the party arrive,"Were you expecting Granberia? Sorry, it's me!". Ilias demands to know who she is, "Wow a tiny Ilias! And she's with Luka too!". Ilias now suspects White Rabbit did this to her, and asks how she ended up like she is, but White Rabbit replies that she didn't cast the Six Ancestors Great Seal on her. Her role is to guide Alice and nothing more. White Rabbit also mentions that Ilias upset more than a fair share of people in a other world, so it could have been anyone with the power to seal her.

If Luka asks what her role is, White Rabbit responds that her role is to guide Alice, like she just mentioned. But it'll be a lot harder, since Luka took Ilias with him instead of Alice. Again, Ilias demands to know who she is but White Rabbit says it's top secret.

If Luka asks what Granberia has to do with it, an image of Granberia flashes before him. White Rabbit comments that there must be a link between the two Luka's and that he's sharper than the specially made Luka's, despite him being of flesh and blood. She explains that Granberia was here in reality, just not in this Luka's reality.

She shows concern that things will only become more confusing from here on out, spreading the chaos. Ilias enquires that she surely meant darkness rather than chaos. White Rabbit explains that in the eyes of the Heavens and humans, chaos and darkness is roughly the same thing. This is not true. While darknesss is controlled by Alice I, chaos is a seperate thing entirely. Chaos is the combination of both holy and dark energy. Capable of interacting with each other without resulting in an explosion. The power Ilias sought in the original reality. Ilias is appareantly unaware of this, as the seal affected both her body and memory. White Rabbit wanted Ilias to stop fighting the Dark Goddess as Ilias alone cannot restrain chaos, but White Rabbit stops herself as she realises she just contradicted herself. If chaos could be restrained, it wouldn't be chaos. Ilias snaps at her to explain it so it can be understood. White Rabbit notes that Ilias being unable to understand her is not the fault of the seal. So she stops explaining, but asks if they will try to force her to continue explaining anyway.

If Luka challenges her, instead of fighting them personally she takes a Bunny Slime from another reality and forces them to fight her. But after the fight, she sends the Bunny Slime back to her original reality. Ilias exclaims that White Rabbit is not a Goddess, yet she can manipulate time and space. White Rabbit notes that it would make her job a lot easier to simply erase Ilias now that she's weak, rather than later when it will be more troublesome. But she decides against it when she realises that would just spread the chaos even faster.

She prepares to take her leave, asking Ilias to not destroy the world again, before waving goodbye.

Luka finds a key that White Rabbit had "dropped", but only he can see it. The Key to Hades.

She is next met in the first Tartarus world.

When the party arrive in the first parallel world, White Rabbit pops up to greet them. She didn't expect the party to make it this far and congratulates them for doing so, annoying Ilias who points out she clearly led them to the parallel world intentionally.

Ilias asks how a mere human like Luka can travel through the dimensions, when even a God cannot. White Rabbit replies that it is a unique ability of this world's Luka, annoying Ilias greatly for being so vague. White Rabbit tells her that her role is to guide them, not to explain. They will have to find the answers themselves, before waving goodbye.

Before they can continue, White Rabbit appears again to warns them to stay on the road; there are "arrogant beings who believe that walking on soil is beneath them". Ilias knows who she's talking about, but White Rabbit knows what she's thinking, so she explains that the angels would not ally with her in that form. Rather, they would be more likely to attack her for impersonating their Goddess.

She is met for the third time in the Cave of Treasures.

Luka and his companions encounter Nanabi, who is guarding the treasure stash while Tamamo searches for Poseidon's Bell. Nanabi almost overpowers Luka, but Neris steps in and saves Luka and his companions  by using  Vaporizing Rebellion Sword  on Nanabi, dealing over 20,000 damage.

Tamamo  comes to seemingly investigate what's going on, and starts re-enacting the same events from the original trilogy. Tamamo thinks Luka has sealed Nanabi and explains to Nanabi that she will have to wait longer before she can be unsealed. Neris explains that it's not the real Tamamo. It's just been "copied and pasted" from another source.

White Rabbit appears in Tamamo's place but is disappointed that she was found out. White Rabbit notices Alice the 17th and is annoyed that there are now five Alices in the world to keep an eye on. She explains to Neris that she's been altering this timeline too much from the correct history and therefore increasing the chaos in this world. Neris points out that her role is simply to guide, and not to act directly. White Rabbit replies that there is no danger in creating a second Paradox by erasing Neris, as she's not from this world.

White Rabbit stops time, and tries to erase Neris, but Nero materializes behind White Rabbit while time is stopped, and hits her with  Flash Kill. White Rabbit is surprised that she was attacked by Nero, as time should have stopped. Nero mocks her for thinking she was the only one who could control time, and they both vanish, presumably to fight elsewhere.

The final time she appears is at the entrance to the third Tartarus. This is interpreted from machine translation, as English translation isn't out yet.

Initially, the path to the ladder is a blocked by a large pile of dirt. One of the scholars informs Luka that a White Rabbit left it there. White Rabbit pops after Luka uses Gnome to clear away the pile instantly. White Rabbit informs Luka that she didn't want the party to enter Tartarus until they'd contracted Gnome. She teleports away, but briefly pops back up again to give Luka Nero's glasses.
