Description
Korisu Morino is a nine-year-old girl whose given name can be read as little squirrel of the woods or as a play on Alice in the woods. She is a member of the villain organization Enormita and transforms into the magical form known as Nero Alice. Her outward personality is quiet, reserved, and shy, and she rarely speaks, though she communicates through expressive actions and gestures. Despite her reserved nature, she has a deep admiration for magical girls, but her admiration takes a twisted and perverse form. Initially brought into Enormita against her will, she soon discovers a sadistic side and comes to enjoy her role as a villain, treating each battle as a playful game and taking pleasure in tormenting her opponents. Her motivations evolve from reluctant participation to genuine delight in her powers and the mayhem she can cause. In the story, she serves as both comic relief due to her childlike perspective and as an unexpectedly powerful member of the group, often bailing out her comrades with her unique abilities. She forms close bonds with her fellow villains Utena Hiiragi and Kiwi Araga, especially Utena, for whom she shows genuine care, such as using her powers to nurse Utena back to health when she is sick. Her relationship with the heroic Tres Magia is antagonistic, but she sometimes expresses a playful interest in them, particularly Magia Magenta. Over the course of the series, she develops from a timid, unwilling participant into a confident and eager villain who fully embraces her powers and her identity as Nero Alice. Her notable abilities stem from her affinity with a large collection of precious old toys. She can animate and control these toys, turning them into monsters, barriers, or tools. She can also transform entire spaces into dollhouses, trapping opponents inside a pocket dimension where she can manipulate the environment and treat them like toys. Her power is effectively a form of localized reality manipulation, not mere hypnosis, allowing her to reshape her surroundings to suit her whims. Her abilities are limited to within the dollhouse or the range of her toy collection, but within that domain she is formidable. Her favorite food is curry, and she dislikes sweet things.
