Write your own Alice's Adventures in Wonderland story

Alice

A curious, intelligent, and strong-willed young girl from Victorian England who falls down a rabbit-hole into Wonderland. She frequently changes size due to magical food and drink, which causes her to question her own identity. Alice is thoughtful and polite but prone to talking to herself, and she possesses a pragmatic bravery that carries her through increasingly bizarre situations.

The White Rabbit

A well-dressed anthropomorphic rabbit who carries a pocket-watch and is perpetually late for an appointment with the Duchess. He wears a waistcoat, carries white kid gloves and a fan, and lives in a small house marked 'W. RABBIT.' He is anxious and easily startled, and inadvertently sets Alice's entire adventure in motion when she chases him down his rabbit-hole.

The Caterpillar

A large blue caterpillar who sits atop a mushroom smoking a hookah in a languid, authoritative manner. He interrogates Alice about her identity with maddening terseness and reveals that the two sides of his mushroom can alter a person's size. He is dismissive and philosophical, serving as an enigmatic gatekeeper of Wonderland's transformative logic.

The Mouse

A talking mouse encountered in the Pool of Tears who appears to hold some authority among the assembled animals. He harbors a deep, passionate hatred of cats and dogs, and attempts to dry the party by reciting a deliberately 'dry' passage of history. He is easily offended and storms off when Alice inadvertently mentions Dinah the cat.

The Dodo

A pompous, verbose bird who presides over the caucus-race and speaks in overly formal language. He declares that 'everybody has won' the race and solemnly presents Alice with her own thimble as a prize. He represents the absurdity of self-important bureaucratic procedure.

The Duchess

An off-page but feared authority figure whom the White Rabbit is desperately afraid of displeasing, believing she will have him executed for being late. She is mentioned multiple times as a source of dread and implied to wield significant power in Wonderland's social hierarchy.

Bill the Lizard

A hapless lizard employed or conscripted by the White Rabbit to investigate Alice's situation in the Rabbit's house. He is sent down the chimney and promptly kicked out by Alice, landing with a crash and being described as dazed and flustered. He epitomizes the expendable underling in Wonderland's social order.

Dinah

Alice's beloved cat back in the real world, frequently mentioned as Alice wanders Wonderland. Dinah is a skilled mouser and bird-catcher, and her mere mention causes panic and flight among Wonderland's animal inhabitants. She represents Alice's connection to her home world and functions as an inadvertent threat in Wonderland's ecosystem.

The Lory

A stubborn, sulky parrot-like bird who argues with Alice about authority and age during the drying session after the Pool of Tears. The Lory refuses to reveal its age and insists that being older automatically means knowing better, embodying petty pride and circular logic.

Pat

An Irish-accented worker, likely a groundskeeper or gardener, who assists the White Rabbit in trying to remove Alice from the Rabbit's house. He is easily cowed and comic, cheerfully reporting on the impossible situation ('Sure, it's an arm, yer honour!') while doing little to resolve it.

The Rabbit-Hole and Vertical Shaft

A tunnel beneath a hedge that plunges suddenly into a vast, seemingly bottomless vertical shaft. The walls of the shaft are lined with cupboards, bookshelves, maps, and pictures, suggesting a long-inhabited underground passage. The fall is slow enough that Alice can examine her surroundings and even retrieve objects from shelves as she descends.

The Long Hall of Locked Doors

A long, low underground hall lit by lamps hanging from the ceiling and lined on all sides with locked doors of varying sizes. At its center stands a small glass three-legged table upon which magical items appear. A tiny curtained door at one end leads to a narrow passage connecting to the beautiful garden beyond.

The Beautiful Garden

A sunlit garden glimpsed through the tiny door at the end of the hall, filled with bright flower beds and cool fountains. It serves as Alice's primary goal throughout the early chapters, always tantalizingly visible but unreachable due to her changing size. Its exact nature and inhabitants remain mysterious.

The Pool of Tears

A large pool that forms from Alice's tears when she is nine feet tall, which floods part of the hall. Various creatures fall into it and swim to shore together, including the Mouse, a Duck, a Dodo, a Lory, and an Eaglet. It serves as the unlikely gathering point for Wonderland's first community of characters.

The White Rabbit's House

A small, neat house bearing a brass plate engraved 'W. RABBIT,' containing tidy rooms with tables, looking-glasses, and stores of magical bottles. When Alice drinks from an unlabeled bottle inside, she grows so large she fills the entire house. The house is surrounded by a garden with cucumber-frames and is staffed by at least one worker, Pat.

The Wood and Mushroom Glade

A thick wood Alice escapes into after fleeing the White Rabbit's house, where she encounters an enormous puppy and then discovers a large mushroom occupied by the Caterpillar. The wood is dense enough to hide in and represents a transitional wilderness between the domestic chaos of the Rabbit's house and the more structured social spaces of Wonderland.

The 'Drink Me' Bottle

A small bottle that appears on the glass table in the hall, labeled 'DRINK ME' in large letters. Its contents taste of cherry-tart, custard, pineapple, roast turkey, toffee, and hot buttered toast, and drinking it causes the consumer to shrink to ten inches in height. It is the first of several magical consumables Alice encounters in Wonderland.

The 'Eat Me' Cake

A small cake found in a glass box under the hall table, with the words 'EAT ME' marked in currants. Eating it causes Alice to grow to enormous size, stretching her to over nine feet tall. Like the bottle, it exemplifies Wonderland's logic that consumption always transforms the consumer.

The Tiny Golden Key

A small golden key found on the glass table in the hall that fits only the tiny curtained door leading to the garden passage. Its small size relative to all other doors makes it both the solution and the source of Alice's repeated frustration, as she continually forgets it or cannot reach it after changing size.

The Mushroom

A large mushroom in the wood, roughly the same height as Alice, upon which the Caterpillar sits. Eating from the right side causes the eater to grow taller, while eating from the left side causes them to shrink. It becomes Alice's primary tool for managing her size after the Caterpillar departs.

The White Rabbit's Fan and Gloves

A large fan and pair of white kid gloves dropped by the White Rabbit in his panic. Alice picks them up and discovers that simply holding the fan causes her to shrink rapidly; she nearly vanishes before dropping it in time. The gloves are later found in the Rabbit's house in multiples.

The Rules of Size Change

In Wonderland, a person's size is highly mutable and governed by consumption or contact with magical objects. Drinking from certain bottles causes shrinking, eating certain cakes causes growth, mushroom sides each have opposite effects, and even holding a magic fan can trigger rapid reduction. Size is the central physical challenge of navigating Wonderland, as doors, furniture, and social dynamics all depend on being the 'right' size.

Talking Animals and Wonderland Society

Wonderland is populated by sentient, speaking animals who maintain their own social hierarchies, opinions, and fears. They interact with one another and with Alice on largely equal conversational footing, though each species carries its real-world anxieties (mice fear cats, birds fear serpents). The Duchess appears to function as a feared aristocratic authority over lesser creatures like the White Rabbit.

Wonderland Logic and Nonsense

Wonderland operates on a consistent internal logic of productive nonsense: races have no clear rules but everyone wins, prizes are given by the person who has nothing to give, and history recited aloud is expected to physically dry wet creatures. Language itself is slippery—puns, misunderstandings, and literal interpretations of figurative speech regularly derail conversations.

Identity and Transformation

A recurring philosophical theme in Wonderland is the instability of personal identity. Alice repeatedly questions who she is after her size changes, wondering if she has been swapped with another child. The Caterpillar's insistent 'Who are you?' functions as the setting's central existential challenge, and Wonderland seems designed to strip away fixed selfhood.

Alice's Early Adventures (Chapters I–V)

Alice falls down the rabbit-hole after chasing the White Rabbit, lands in the hall of locked doors, and cycles through multiple size changes using the bottle, cake, and later the mushroom. She swims in the Pool of Tears, participates in a caucus-race, is mistaken for a housemaid by the White Rabbit, fills his house when she grows enormous, escapes into the wood, and finally receives cryptic advice from the Caterpillar about the mushroom's properties.
