Personal life[]

When asked about her religion, Alice said:[7]

Formally, I never followed any religion. [...] I'm afraid of saying I'm religious, because it foreshadows doctrine. Here's how it goes: I am highly mystical, but I'm no hippie that knows natal chart. I value and admire behavioral archetypes, just like I do with Greek gods and stuff.
