I’ve been following Genshin Impact’s lore since its launch, and let me tell you – Alice is one of the most fascinating characters we’ve ever seen teased. As a long-time Genshin enthusiast who’s dug through every piece of lore, I’m incredibly excited to finally share everything we know about this mysterious powerhouse. Alice isn’t just Klee’s mother – she’s a living legend who’s been shaping Teyvat’s history for centuries, and I can’t wait to break down all the details for you.
Alice is, without exaggeration, one of the most significant figures in Genshin Impact’s expansive lore. She’s the founder and member ‘A’ of the Hexenzirkel – a secret society of incredibly powerful mages who convene for tea parties and world-shaping decisions. What makes Alice so special is that she’s not just some background character; she’s been actively involved in major events across Teyvat for what appears to be centuries.
From what I’ve gathered through countless hours of research and piecing together lore fragments, Alice belongs to a long-lived race and is at least 500 years old – though some evidence suggests she might be even older. She’s authored the famous Teyvat Travel Guide that players use throughout their journey, making her indirectly responsible for helping countless travelers navigate the world.
What really blows my mind is her list of titles and accomplishments. She’s known as:
I’ve got to be honest – I’m more hyped about Alice becoming playable than I’ve been about any character in recent memory. There’s something incredibly compelling about a character who’s been built up through lore for so long finally making an appearance. What really gets me excited is how Alice represents the perfect blend of power and personality.
Unlike some characters who feel like they were created just to fill a gameplay niche, Alice has been woven into the fabric of Genshin’s story from the beginning. Every time we’ve encountered her influence – whether through Klee’s stories, Albedo’s memories, or the various summer events – it’s been clear that we’re dealing with someone truly extraordinary.
What I find most fascinating is how Alice manages to be both incredibly powerful and deeply human. She’s a near-omnipotent sorceress who can create entire worlds (like Simulanka), but she’s also a loving mother who goes to incredible lengths to protect her daughter. This duality makes her far more interesting than your typical overpowered character.
Let me dive deep into what we know about Alice’s background, because it’s absolutely fascinating stuff.
Alice comes from a race blessed with longevity, which explains why she’s been around for at least 500 years. During the Windblume Festival quest, it was mentioned that the Hexenzirkel once challenged the Anemo Archon Barbatos in battle. This likely happened around 2600 years ago, after Old Mondstadt was replaced by the new version we know today, or around the time of Khaenri’ah’s fall.
What’s really interesting is that Alice has apparently seen the entire world of Teyvat and possibly even beyond. There are references to her knowledge of places like the Rubicon, and she even narrated Aloy’s Collected Miscellany in place of Dainsleif, suggesting she has connections to other worlds entirely.
As the founder and elder of the Hexenzirkel, Alice stands at the center of one of Teyvat’s most mysterious organizations. The Hexenzirkel is a coven of incredibly powerful witches who include figures like Rhinedottir (Gold), Nicole, Barbeloth, and Andersdotter. They’re known for their tea parties, Irminsul expeditions, and generally being involved in world-shaping events.
What makes Alice’s role particularly interesting is that she seems to be the glue holding this group together. She’s referred to as “A” in their naming convention, suggesting she might be the leader or most senior member. The fact that she gave Albedo the Hexenzirkel Trial shows she has the authority to test and potentially initiate new members into their circle.
Alice’s family connections are some of the most interesting aspects of her character. She’s Klee’s mother, obviously, but her relationship with Albedo is equally fascinating. While Albedo isn’t her biological son, she considers him part of her family, and he views her as a mother figure as well.
What’s particularly touching is why Alice left Klee in Mondstadt. She did it to protect her daughter from the dangers she and her husband face during their adventures. This shows that despite her incredible power, Alice is still a mother who puts her child’s safety above everything else.
Now let’s talk about what makes Alice such a formidable presence in Teyvat’s power structure.
Alice is described by Albedo as a “near-omnipotent sorceress,” and that’s not an exaggeration. Her magical abilities span multiple disciplines:
From the Moonlit Ballad of the Night teaser, we can clearly see Alice wearing a Pyro Vision. This makes perfect sense given her explosive personality and her connection to Klee, who is also a Pyro user. What’s interesting is that Alice seems to have earned her Vision through her passion for explosives and her generally fiery personality, rather than through any great tragedy or ambition.
While Alice isn’t playable yet, leaks and her established abilities give us some clues about what her kit might look like:
What I find most exciting is the possibility that Alice could be the first character to truly showcase the full potential of Pyro DPS at the highest level. Given her background as an explosives expert and her incredible magical power, she could potentially revolutionize how we think about Pyro characters in the game.
Alice has made numerous appearances throughout Genshin Impact’s history, though many were indirect or in limited forms. Let me break down where we’ve seen her so far.
This is what everyone really wants to know – when will Alice become playable? Based on my research and the latest leaks, here’s what we can expect.
Alice was initially leaked to become playable in Genshin Impact Luna VIII (version 6.7). However, more recent leaks suggest that Hoyoverse has replaced her with Sandrone for that version. This doesn’t mean Alice won’t be playable – it just means we might have to wait a bit longer.
The most likely scenario is that Alice will be released during the Snezhnaya arc, which would make sense given her connections to various story elements and the fact that she’s such a significant character. Hoyoverse often saves major characters for major regions, and Alice definitely qualifies as a major character.
While it’s disappointing for fans who want Alice as soon as possible, the delay actually makes sense from a storytelling perspective. Alice is such a significant figure in Genshin’s lore that introducing her as a playable character deserves proper buildup and context.
Additionally, the Nod-Krai arc is already packed with amazing characters, so saving Alice for a later, perhaps more significant moment in the story could make her eventual release even more impactful.
One of the most interesting aspects of Alice is her web of relationships with other significant characters in Teyvat. Let me break down some of the most important ones.
This is obviously Alice’s most significant relationship. Klee clearly adores her mother, and Alice’s decision to leave Klee in Mondstadt for her safety shows how much she cares. What’s interesting is that despite being apart, Alice still finds ways to be involved in Klee’s life, like setting up the Midsummer Island Adventure specifically for her.
Alice taught Albedo everything he knows about alchemy, and their relationship goes beyond just master and student. Albedo considers Alice his mother figure, and Alice considers him part of her family. This creates a fascinating dynamic where Albedo is both Alice’s student and her “son,” while also being Klee’s “brother.”
Alice’s relationships with the other Hexenzirkel members are complex and not fully understood. She seems to be the leader or most senior member, but she also has rivalries (like with Mona’s master) and partnerships (like with Barbeloth in creating Simulanka).
Alice’s relationship with Skirk is particularly fascinating. Skirk refers to Alice as the “Sustainer of the World’s Borders” and mentions that Alice tolerates her presence but made her promise not to interfere too much with Teyvat’s affairs. This suggests Alice has some kind of responsibility or authority over the world’s fundamental workings.
Alice isn’t just a random character – she’s deeply woven into the fabric of Genshin Impact’s overarching narrative. Let me explore some of the ways she fits into the bigger picture.
As the founder of the Hexenzirkel, Alice is connected to some of the most significant events in Teyvat’s history. The fact that they once challenged Barbatos suggests they were involved in major conflicts that shaped the world as we know it.
Alice’s acquaintance with the Sinners of Khaenri’ah, including Rhinedottir “Gold,” suggests she has some connection to the cataclysm and the fall of Khaenri’ah. Given her age and knowledge, she might have unique insights into what really happened during that pivotal event.
While Alice hasn’t directly interacted with the Traveler much yet, her influence is felt throughout their journey. From the Teyvat Travel Guide to the various events she’s orchestrated, Alice has been subtly guiding and influencing the Traveler’s adventure.
After analyzing everything we know about Alice, I’ve identified several factors that make her stand out from other characters in the game.
Alice is described as a “near-omnipotent sorceress,” which puts her in a completely different league from most other characters. Even among the Archons and other powerful beings, Alice seems to operate on a different level entirely.
Unlike most characters who have lived relatively normal lifespans, Alice has been around for centuries, if not millennia. This gives her a perspective and knowledge base that’s virtually unmatched in the game.
Alice isn’t just powerful – she’s also incredibly complex. She’s a loving mother, a brilliant inventor, a powerful mage, and a playful trickster all at once. This complexity makes her far more interesting than characters who are defined by a single trait or role.
Alice has directly shaped the game world in ways few other characters have. From creating Simulanka to authoring the Teyvat Travel Guide to setting up elaborate events, her influence is felt throughout the entire game.
Let me answer some of the most common questions players have about Alice.
Yes, Alice is expected to become playable eventually. While recent leaks suggest she won’t be in the Luna versions, her character model is clearly designed with playability in mind, and she’ll likely be released during the Snezhnaya arc.
Alice has been confirmed to be a Pyro user. Her Pyro Vision is clearly visible in the Moonlit Ballad of the Night teaser, and her connection to explosives makes this element perfect for her character.
While not officially confirmed, Alice is most likely to use a Catalyst, given her magical nature. However, some speculate she might use a Polearm, as Hoyoverse sometimes surprises us with unexpected weapon choices.
Alice is at least 500 years old, though some evidence suggests she might be much older. She comes from a long-lived race, which explains her extended lifespan.
Based on the descriptions of her power, Alice seems to be on par with or possibly even stronger than some of the Archons. Albedo calls her a “near-omnipotent sorceress,” and she’s shown abilities that rival or exceed those of the gods.
This is one of the biggest mysteries surrounding Alice. While we know she has a husband (Klee mentions both parents), his identity remains unknown. Some speculate he might be another significant figure in Teyvat’s lore.
After diving deep into everything we know about Alice, I’m more excited than ever about her eventual arrival as a playable character. She represents everything that makes Genshin Impact’s lore so compelling – deep history, complex relationships, incredible power, and fascinating mysteries.
What I find most exciting is that Alice’s story is far from over. With her appearance in Nod-Krai and the hints about her future role in the story, we’re likely to learn much more about her in the coming updates. Whether you’re interested in her incredible power, her touching family relationships, or her mysterious past, Alice is a character who has something for every type of Genshin Impact player.
I’ll definitely be keeping a close eye on future updates for any news about Alice’s release, and I recommend you do the same. When she finally arrives, she’s going to shake up the meta and the story in ways we can only imagine. Until then, I’ll be here analyzing every new piece of lore and keeping you updated on all things Alice in Genshin Impact!
