#I couldn’t decide whether I liked the Disney or McGee cat better so here’s both

Fan Dragon Month Series One: Alice In Wonderland

Day Two: The Cheshire Cat(s)

Male Imperial - Tiger/Hypnotic/Runes

XXY Orchid/Lemon - Light Bright

XXY Denim/Cyan - Lightning Bright

Lore Under Cut!

This Alice in Wonderland retelling takes notes from other darker modern retellings like American McGee’s Alice*, Lorestrome’s Alice is Dead series, and the 2010 Burton film. Instead of taking place in a classic Wonderland setting, it takes place in one of the many strange magical pockets of Sornieth.

Upon awaking, Alice finds herself in the care of The Cheshire Brothers, Chester (Orchid) and Salem (Denim). After a short chat, they lead Alice to her more permanent quarters, and try to convince her that the mysterious dragon speaking with The Hatter is of no concern. Upon getting settled, Alice learns that the brother’s dueling personalities quickly lead them to fighting, and she is left alone with Salem, who warns her of the other performers…

Chester is the older one, a beacon of seemingly endless energy and charisma. He’s more of a trickster than Salem, but really does try to do no harm. Salem may be younger, but he is bigger and more intimidating. He really just wants to be left alone, but becomes bored easily with out the constant humdrum of some sort of companion.

Design Notes

Chester’s colors and personality are based on the cat from the Disney film, while Salem’s are based on the cat from American McGee’s Alice*.

They are meant to be mirrors of one another, with matching genes, color patterns, and apparel.

They were originally going to be Veilspuns, but I was dead-set on them having Tiger.

Their real heads are meant to be the headdresses because they’re cats.

*Disclaimer: I no longer support American McGee due to his recent actions involving AI and the treatment of the members in his Discord server. That being said, Alice and it’s sequel are amazing and underrated games that I encourage people to check out.
