Alice Gehabich, a Russian teenager and strategist for the Battle Brawlers, lives under her grandfather Dr. Michael Gehabich’s guardianship. Polite and conflict-averse, she prioritizes team cohesion, offering tactical guidance during battles while avoiding direct combat due to her fear of failure and rejection of violence. Her emotional intuition allows her to sense hidden struggles in teammates like Shun Kazami, positioning her as the group’s grounded, mature voice. A rift emerges when exposure to the Silent Core’s energy through her grandfather’s interdimensional transporter fractures her identity, spawning Masquerade—a ruthless alter-ego serving Naga. Masquerade commands Darkus Bakugan such as Hydranoid, dispatching foes to the Doom Dimension while operating autonomously from Alice, who remains oblivious to her dual existence, enduring memory lapses during Masquerade’s manifestations. The Battle Brawlers’ discovery of her split self triggers Alice’s guilt-driven isolation, later mitigated by Klaus von Hertzon’s support in confronting her fears. After Dan Kuso shatters Masquerade’s mask, Hydranoid shifts allegiance to Alice, cementing her as a Darkus Brawler. Residual traces of Masquerade linger, his silhouette flickering in her shadow during emotional turmoil. Adopting a lavender hoodie and yellow skirt in later arcs, she navigates a cautious yet respectful rapport with Lync Volan, wary of his manipulative streak. In the New Vestroia conflict, Alice partners with Chan Lee against Shadow Prove, wielding a Darkus gauntlet from Mira Fermin. The battle reawakens Masquerade’s influence through taunting visions, testing her resolve. Though she destroys Shadow’s Hades Bakugan, exhaustion leaves her vulnerable to MAC Spider’s defeat. By season four, her role diminishes to a photograph referenced by Marucho. Orphaned and homeschooled by her grandfather, Alice briefly relocates to her aunt and uncle’s home, haunted by guilt over Masquerade’s deeds. Her relationships include protective loyalty toward Runo Misaki and strained interactions with Shun, who initially holds her accountable for Masquerade’s crimes. Alice’s arc intertwines duality and redemption, reconciling her inherent compassion with the shadow of her fragmented self. Her journey underscores self-acceptance, merging opposing identities as she safeguards both Hydranoid and her fractured psyche.
