Who is Alice Zuberg?

Alice Zuberg was born to the village chief of Rulid, located in the northern part of the Underworld. She lived peacefully with her childhood friends Eugeo and Kirito. She excels in sacred arts and has a bright and lively personality. With blonde hair, beautiful blue eyes, and a blue outfit and white apron dress, she's a beautiful girl, reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland.
Farewell to a peaceful life.
Alice's peaceful life didn't last long. One day, she went exploring in a cave with Eugeo and Kirito in search of ice, and ended up entering the forbidden "Dark Territory." Later, in front of Eugeo and the others, she was taken to the Cathedral by the Integrity Knights as a criminal for violating the "Forbidden Index," a law that is forbidden in the Underworld.

Since the day Alice was abducted, Eugeo has lived his life with the goal of saving Alice. However, when Alice reunites with Eugeo, she has lost her memory and no longer recognizes him as her childhood friend—she seems like a completely different person. Introducing herself as "Alice Synthesis Thirty," Alice appeared before Eugeo and Kirito, who had become criminals, to take them away.
The female knight, who bore a striking resemblance to Alice and had a serious, noble aura, was clad in golden armor, had blonde hair, and icy blue eyes as she watched Eugeo and the others.
What are Alice's abilities?

The Integrity Knights are the strongest knights in the Underworld. Among these Integrity Knights, Alice excels in both swordsmanship and sacred arts, ranking third. While the heroines of the SAO series have always been strong, Alice seems to be particularly strong. She holds her own against Kirito, who possesses continuous sword skills, and even holds her own against a super account equipped with cheat-level weapons...
Sacred Treasure [Osmanthus Sword]
Alice's sacred treasure is a slender long sword called the Osmanthus Sword. It is crafted from the Osmanthus tree, an indestructible object in the Underworld. When she uses [Total Domination], the blades scatter like tiny petals, each one sharp and sharp...

Alice's memories were stolen by Administrator, the high priest of the Axiom Church. However, she didn't miss the name of her sister, "Selka," that Kirito spoke. Until then, Kirito had thought he might have mistaken her for someone else, but it turns out that Integrity Knight Alice Synthesis Thirty is none other than his childhood friend, Alice Zuberg.
Alice's Decision!
After hearing the truth about her past from Kirito, Alice resolves to join Kirito and the others in taking on the Axiom Society! Alice and Kirito succeed in defeating Administrator, but Eugeo is killed in the battle.
Also, during the battle with Administrator, the data in Alice's Light Cube (which maintains her soul as Alice Zuberg) is lost, meaning she can never return to being Alice Zuberg again.
Living with Kirito?

Kirito suffered a great deal of mental trauma after the death of his best friend, Eugeo, with whom he had fought for so long, leaving him like an empty shell. Although Alice has no memories of growing up in the village, she returns to Rulid Village to live with him, caring for him. Gradually, she begins to develop special feelings for Kirito.

One day, in the village of Rulid, Alice witnesses a horde of goblins from the Dark World. She resolves to fight of her own volition to protect the people of the Human World, the very people Kirito and Eugeo sought to protect. And because Alice calls herself the "Priestess of Light" to attract enemies, she becomes the target of the dark god Vecta...
The truth about the Underworld.
To save Kirito, Alice meets Asuna, who has logged in using her super account. They clash swords over Kirito, but are stopped by Bercouli. After learning the truth about the Underworld from Asuna and the reason why Alice is being targeted, Alice decides to escape to the real world.
Finally, she enters the real world...

In an attempt to escape to the real world, Alice heads to the edge of the world, [World End Alter]. She successfully logs out of the Underworld and escapes to the real world.
The birth of the Alice Robot?!
Alice, who no longer has a physical body in the real world, lives as the world's first true bottom-up AI, equipped with a Fluctlight (a soul-like thing) in a robot designed by Lars. She continues to wait in the real world for her beloved Kirito, who is left behind in the Underworld.
She's become so emotional...

Since Kirito returned to the real world, Alice has been aggressively pursuing him, regardless of his feelings. Kirito, who is devoted to Asuna, has a hard time dealing with Alice. Sometimes, Alice resorts to unusual methods, such as getting inside a cardboard box and having it delivered to Kirito's house. She's a completely different person from when she was an Integrity Knight. By the way, she's at odds with Asuna over Kirito.
