welcome to Wonderland, the world you once thought to be the fictional works of Lewis Carroll.
what you once knew was wrong.
here, you will learn the true story of Wonderland, and Princess Alyss Heart, when you travel through the glass.
I'm pretty sure someone's asking themselves that question right now.
The rules will tell you there's a word maximum for your in-character posts. Basically, lubbies, that's another way of saying that I do not want you slaving over your posts and trying to come up with all kinds of pointless paste and filler, because, HONESTLY, what's the point of saying "you must have 'insert biggish three-or-four-digit number here' words in every posts or more, or else", huh? This site is meant for you to have fun. If you're feeling incredibly inspired, then by all means, write like crazy. If your muse is taking a sick day, then just give us a paragraph, we don't care. As long as you're being active and having fun, everyone's happy.
--Lots of love, Hanners

the myth.
Alice Liddel was an ordinary girl who stepped through a looking glass and entered a fairy-tale world invented by Lewis Carroll in his famous storybook.
the truth.
Wonderland is real. Alyss Heart is heir to the throne, until her murderous aunt Redd steals the crown and kills Alyss’s parents. To escape Redd, Alyss and her bodyguard, Hatter Madigan, must flee to our world via Pool of Tears. But in the pool, Alyss and Hatter are separated. Lost and alone in Victorian London, Alyss is befriended by an aspiring author, to whom she tells the violent, heartbreaking story of her young life. Yet he gets the story completely wrong. Hatter Madigan knows the truth only too well, and he is searching every corner of our world to find the lost princess and return her to Wonderland so she may battle Redd for her rightful place as Queen of Hearts.
Wonderland is a world where imagination means everything. It means all the more if you are a member of the royal suit family, the Hearts family, and even more so if you are to be Queen. Alyss Heart, daughter of Queen Genevieve and King Nolan, is next in line to rule the queendom of Wonderland. Redd, Genevieve’s sister, has other plans, however. Alyss is intended to begin her training after her seventh birthday. However, Redd intends to murder the entirety of the Heart family and steal the crown for herself.
There are two kinds of imagination that are used. One either possesses White Imagination or Black Imagination. The Hearts all possess White Imagination. However, those who practice Black Imagination are watched carefully by the queendom. Redd, having been shunned from the queendom as a child because of her practice of Black Imagination, has secretly been forming an army of her own to destroy the queendom as all of Wonderland knows it.
The three suit families – the Diamonds, the Spades, and the Clubs – are at a lower rank of power than the Hearts, causing some jealousy amongst the three. Their true loyalty to the queendom will be tested through the coming war.
the story so far
Alyss’s parents are dead, at the hands of Redd Heart, on the day of Alyss’s seventh birthday. Alyss has been brought back to Wonderland, only to find that everything is far from the way it was before. Black Imagination has taken over, and all that was once good in Wonderland has been destroyed. Redd has taken control, and anyone who seems to be practicing White Imagination is forced to work in the Crystal Mines until their death. The story of Princess Alyss Heart being the heir to the throne is nothing more than a legend now. However, it is time for her to take back what is rightfully hers, and it will have to be by force.
What is your alliance in this battle? Will you be an Alyssian, or will you support Redd no matter what the cost? Soon enough, everyone will have to decide and become part of the war.
