Alice Angel is a cartoon character created by Joey Drew Studios, starring in a series of Bendy cartoons since her debut as the studio's first female cartoon character.

Description

Creation

Alice was another character to be presented and created in Joey Drew Studios.

Alice Angel was first voiced by Susie Campbell who feels to bear a connection with Alice, unlike the other characters she previously voiced,[1] while mentioning that Sammy thinks Alice may be as popular as Bendy someday.[1] However, later on, Joey Drew announced that Allison Pendle is hired as the new voice actress for Alice Angel out of the blue, much to Susie's utter shock and depression.[2] Susie then has a tape recording that states that she wants to fix this.

Despite Sammy's claims, Shawn Flynn, a merchandise worker within Joey Drew Studios, claimed that the Alice Angel dolls were not selling well at all, implying she may not have been nearly as popular as believed so.

Physical appearance

Alice is a female humanoid cartoon character with slightly wavy medium-length black hair, thin eyebrows, and black lipstick. She has a slender frame with a small waist and fairly wide hips. She wears a black dress similar to that of a 1920's flapper dress with a short skirt (which was seen as appealing in the 1920s/30s) with a white bow that is identical to Bendy's on the center of her bust line. Like the other characters, Alice has pie cut eyes with a single eyelash each, and a small mole under her right eye. She has slightly short arms wearing a pair of white gloves with circles drawn on the palms over black detached sleeves, and she also wears a pair of stockings with black laces, along with a couple of black pointed small-heeled shoes (though the heels aren't always visible due to their angle).

In the animated shorts, her appearance is slightly different than in-game: her hair is slightly less wavy, and her dress is a little longer, thus covering the stockings' laces. She wears a much longer, floor-length version of her dress in "Siren Serenade", although her mole is seen near her left eye. Alice has angelic traits, with a pair of white horns as well as a halo floating above her head.

Personality

Suggested by the "SHE SINGS! SHE DANCES!" tagline from Alice's "Sent From Above" poster, Alice has a talent for dancing and singing to entertain her audience. Heard from her "I'm Alice Angel" song from Bendy and the Ink Machine: Chapter 3, she is revealed to be sweet, upbeat, and happy-go-lucky, as her angelic nature would imply. Sammy Lawrence referred to Alice's voice as both "heavenly and beautiful."[3]

Behind the scenes

Alice Angel, from her Sent from Above cartoon poster, first appear in the second chapter of Bendy and the Ink Machine, then later appear in the rest of the chapters, and later appeared in Boris and the Dark Survival and Bendy and the Dark Revival. She appears in many posters as well as plush toys, cutouts, and cartoon clips. Twisted Alice and Allison Angel from the Cycle are the original Alice's counterparts who were once Susie Campbell and Allison Pendle respectively. Alice Angel also appears in the mobile spin-off Bendy in Nightmare Run as one of the playable characters.

Inspirations

Alice's design appears to be inspired by Betty Boop, a cartoon creation of Fleischer Studios from a similar time period to the game. They are similar in that they act as a beautiful and cheerful female character to act as a polar opposite to the other main character of the respective studio: Betty Boop to Bimbo, and Alice to Bendy. Furthermore, similarly to Betty Boop, Alice's "Sent from Above" poster tagline reads that she's both a dancer and a singer.
