Alice Nakiri, daughter of Sōe Nakiri and Danish mother Leonora, is the maternal cousin of Erina Nakiri. Born to her Japanese father and Danish mother, she spent early childhood at the Nakiri Mansion alongside Erina. Their relationship featured intense rivalry and bullying incidents, including Erina rejecting Alice's fourth birthday cake and taking her doll at age three. These experiences, amplified by constant comparisons, spurred Alice to forge her own path. At five, she moved to Denmark with her father to pursue molecular gastronomy. By nine, she gained renown as a top expert, earning titles like "Heaven Sent Child of Molecular Gastronomy."
Alice possesses fair skin, silver hair with a longer left bang (initially chin-length, later reaching her collar), and pronounced crimson irises that adopt a cartoonish shape when teasing. Standing 165 cm tall with a large bust, she wears a distinctive cream-colored uniform vest instead of the standard Tōtsuki jacket. Her cooking uniform includes short sleeves with blackish-gray or red accents on the cuffs and collar.
Personality-wise, Alice values her Nakiri heritage and confidently highlights skill disparities with rivals, though less conceitedly than Erina. She emphasizes both culinary skill and artistic presentation, believing modern chefs must master both. Intelligent and innovative, she actively develops new cooking technologies. Sociable and cheerful, she casually engages rivals, often to poke fun—a trait inherited from her mother. She enjoys gossip and romance topics, even with socially inept individuals. Cunning, she employs reverse psychology to manipulate others. Bossy, she frequently orders her aide Ryō Kurokiba and takes charge of group activities. Despite her joviality, she reacts strongly to disagreement, throwing temporary tantrums when displeased.
Her cooking revolves entirely around molecular gastronomy, investigating physical and chemical transformations during cooking while prioritizing artistic, social, and technical elements. Signature dishes include the Three Forms of Egg Dishes—a trio themed around ocean (Neptune Diluted Ocean Gelée), forest (Dutch Style Asparagus Forest), and agriculture (Milk Shake in an Egg)—and the artistically crafted Thermal Sense Curry. She utilizes advanced equipment reflecting her Nakiri resources.
In Denmark, Alice discovered a pub run by young chef Ryō Kurokiba. After winning their initial duel, she proposed he become her aide, phrasing it as "adopting a stray dog." Ryō challenged her repeatedly for two years until his first victory, after which he respectfully called her "milady" and accompanied her to Tōtsuki Academy. Alice entered Tōtsuki’s middle school, becoming a dominant figure despite Erina’s shadow. In her second year, she defeated the Cutting-Edge Cooking RS society in a one-sided Shokugeki to claim their clubroom, later becoming its chief and rising to the Elite Ten Council’s sixth seat.
At the 92nd Generation Orientation Ceremony, Alice developed interest in Sōma Yukihira after his defiant speech. During the Friendship and Rapport Training Camp, she breezed through initial challenges. For the breakfast buffet task, she prepared the Three Forms of Egg Dishes, drawing crowds with its artistry and serving 380 dishes. Witnessing Sōma complete his quota against the odds, she declared her intent to surpass him and dominate Tōtsuki, proclaiming the era of purely artisan skills over. She participated in the 43rd Autumn Election, telling Kurokiba not to lose early and predicting future Elite Ten successors would emerge from participants like herself, Sōma, and Erina. Before the preliminaries, she invited Erina to a pool day, using reverse psychology to prevent her leaving and probing about crushes. During the quarterfinals, she faced Sōma with a Temari Bento of 12 colorful sushi varieties but lost, revealing underlying admiration for Erina despite their rivalry.
Alice maintains a complex relationship with Erina, openly competing yet secretly respecting her. She treats Kurokiba as both subordinate and trusted partner, relying on him heavily. Her interactions with Sōma blend rivalry and curiosity, viewing him as a challenger to her culinary philosophy.
