Alice Nakiri, cousin to Erina Nakiri and daughter of Sōe and Leonora Nakiri, grew up alongside Erina in the family mansion. Their childhood rivalry, marked by incidents like Erina criticizing Alice's birthday cake and taking her toys, drove Alice to pursue culinary distinction. Relocating to Denmark with her father at age five, she dedicated herself to molecular gastronomy, becoming a recognized expert in the field by nine. While in Denmark, Alice encountered Ryō Kurokiba working as a pub chef. After defeating him in a cooking duel, she recruited him as her aide; he only acknowledged her authority after losing a rematch two years later. The pair then enrolled together at Tōtsuki Culinary Academy. Alice possesses fair skin, silver hair featuring a distinctive longer left strand, and red eyes. She typically replaces the standard Tōtsuki jacket with a cream-colored vest and wears a short-sleeved chef's uniform featuring red or black accents during cooking. Her personality blends formidable Nakiri confidence with a comparatively approachable and cheerful demeanor. She casually engages rivals, often teasing them, and enjoys discussing topics like gossip or romance. However, she exhibits bossiness toward Ryō, throws childish tantrums when displeased, and displays cunning, such as manipulating Erina into staying at a public pool using reverse psychology. Her cooking specializes in molecular gastronomy, transforming ingredients through scientific processes to emphasize artistic presentation, technical precision, and social impact. Utilizing advanced laboratory equipment, she creates visually striking dishes like "Three Forms of Egg Dishes" (reimagining deconstructed egg components as oceanic gelée, forest-inspired mousse, and milkshake-filled shells), "Thermal Sense Curry," and "Temari Bento." She firmly believes modern cuisine demands both culinary skill and artistic innovation. Alice quickly established herself as a formidable presence at Tōtsuki. During middle school, she claimed the Cutting-Edge Cooking RS clubroom by winning a Shokugeki. In high school, she participated in the Tōtsuki Friendship and Rapport Training Camp, where her egg dish served 380 guests but ran out prematurely. Witnessing Sōma Yukihira’s resourcefulness during this challenge ignited her rivalry with him; she later declared her intent to surpass both him and Erina to reach Tōtsuki's summit. She competed in the Autumn Election, advancing through preliminary and quarterfinal rounds with dishes showcasing her molecular gastronomy expertise. Following the overthrow of the Azami administration, Alice attained the sixth seat in the Elite Ten Council. Her relationship with Erina evolved from overt rivalry to a more complex dynamic where Alice secretly admires her cousin despite their competitive history.
