Description
**Alice Kurobane** is a supporting protagonist in the Shadowverse anime and a Shadowcraft leader. She presents as a cheerful idol with a playful personality, thriving in the spotlight to showcase her Shadowverse skills. Her appearance features blue hair styled in twintails, red eyes, and distinctive outfits: a purple sailor dress, beret, and thigh-high stockings for her idol persona, or cabbie hats, sunglasses, and striped shirts when incognito.
Fame as an idol imposed significant internal conflict, forcing her to abandon a normal childhood and conceal her true interests. Pressured into using "cute" Shadowcraft cards like Dog of the Dead and Lyrian, Celestial Archer during performances to maintain her image, she suppressed her genuine preference for macabre or horror-themed cards, fostering a cynical edge beneath her cheerful demeanor. Her true Shadowverse deck centers on Necromancy and Last Words mechanics, specializing in flooding the board with followers and manipulating her hand and graveyard for aggressive plays. Her favorite card, Skeleton Raider – embodying her hidden tastes with its ability to destroy enemy followers and deal repeated damage – was initially avoided publicly.
Key developments unfold during the Shadow Grand Prix arc. Teaming with Mimori against the Joubert Sisters, Alice later battles Mimori directly, expressing her desire to be "ordinary." By defiantly using Skeleton Raider, she wins the match and forms her first genuine friendship with Mimori, marking an initial step toward reconciling her dual identities. Later, en route to the Mythical Cards' ruins to confront the Tree of Woe, Kai advises her to embrace all aspects of herself. This proves crucial against a Shade-possessed Vivian Joubert; Alice triumphs by acknowledging both her idol and Shadowverse selves as integral.
Trapped in a dream world living as a normal girl, Asagi guides her to the realm of her Legendary Card. There, battling Luna inside a manor, she wins after resolving to negotiate greater freedom with her mother, solidifying her acceptance of her multifaceted life. She subsequently aids in combating the Shades and supports Hiro in the final battle against Leon.
Three years later, during the Shadowverse Flame era, Alice continues her idol career with increased popularity. She battles Light Tenryu at the Shadowverse Stadium, offering him strategic advice after her victory. While reconciling with Mimori during an outing, they encounter the Arc Ruler's invasion of Nekome. Despite initial friction over Mimori's reluctance to rejoin her as an idol partner, they collaborate to reclaim the Mythical Cards at Shadowverse College, fighting Shade monsters alongside the Joubert Sisters. Following the Tree of Woe's revival and defeat, Mimori declines Alice's partnership proposal to instead become her future manager, symbolizing their enduring bond.
Her personality consistently blends a love for freedom and scary things with a pragmatic understanding of her public role. She maintains her signature Shadowcraft deck across all appearances, emphasizing board control and follower swarm tactics.
