Alice Nakiri
|
||
Appearance
Alice is a fair-skinned girl who almost entirely inherited her beautiful physical traits from her mother, with short silver hair that has a longer left strand reaching the bottom of her chin before lengthening to the top of her collar by the time of the Autumn Election Main Tournament. She has red eyes that differ slightly from other female characters, with more pronounced irises, and her eyes take on a more cartoonish shape whenever she is making fun of someone. She has large breasts and buttocks like Erina Nakiri, although she exceeds her cousin by a couple of inches.
Unlike most of her classmates who wear the standard Tōtsuki uniform jacket, Alice wears a cream-colored Tōtsuki uniform vest instead. Her cooking uniform is a short-sleeved chef’s outfit with blackish-gray cuffs and a collar.
Personality
As a member of the prestigious Nakiri family, Alice holds herself in high regard due to her pedigree. Although not as conceited as Erina Nakiri, Alice likes to illustrate the difference in abilities between herself and her rivals. As an expert in the field of molecular gastronomy, she highly values not only the culinary aspect of cooking but the artistic aspects as well. To Alice, a successful chef in the modern world must exercise both of these traits to their highest potential. Her cooking reflects this, showcasing the true artistry and beauty behind the ingredients that make up her dishes. Alice is intelligent, as shown through her inventions in her lab. She understands food like none other, and her development of new technology and devices for cooking is something worth noting.
Unlike her cousin, Alice is much more friendly and cheery, often talking to her rivals casually, sometimes merely to poke fun at them, something she inherited from her mother. She tends to pout when she does not get her way and is a modern girl, eager to talk about love and gossip, even with the incredibly socially dense Erina. She is also very cunning, able to manipulate Erina using reverse psychology to keep her at a local public pool despite the latter’s initial disgust at the location. She is a bossy person, usually ordering Ryō Kurokiba to do nearly everything for her and taking complete charge of Jun Shiomi’s seminar at the Moon Banquet Festival, much to Akira Hayama’s displeasure.
In spite of her smug and jovial demeanor, Alice is quite irascible when people disagree with her. She tends to overreact when she is unhappy and is prone to throwing childish tantrums when things don’t go her way. However, most of these are temporary, and she quickly returns to normal after a few minutes.
