Bony Lizzie had made her convince Tom to give Mother Malkin blood cakes, and she had made a sacrifice to the Bane out of pure hatred and spite toward the Quisitor. Although she knew the consequences, she had freed the Bane to help Tom, Mr. Gregory, and herself. Alice seems to have a gift with botany, putting leaves on Tom's hand to treat his burn. Gregory, despite his intense distrust for Alice, appreciates her work as a scribe. Tom has stated that she has nice handwriting. During the series, Alice is said to be pretty with big, hazel eyes and long, black hair, however her hair was turned white in the eighth book when she was traumatized after spending time in the Fiends domain. She seems to have feelings for Tom as she jokes about using, during a moment of solitude during the day of his birthday, glamor and fascination on him, two witch powers to seduce and control. Another reason for believing that Alice has feelings for Tom may come from the fifth book, where she is tormented by the idea that she will be separated from him and finally kisses him on the lips for a while. Yet another hint is when she is trying to convince Tom to use the blood jar, stating that if he did they could never separate and she wasn't opposed to the idea, saying she would actually rather like it. Finally, in the Spook's Blood, Tom must sacrifice the one he loves... this turns out to be Alice. At the end of the fifth book, Alice contacts Grimalkin (a savage witch assassin) to help Tom defeat the Fiend's daughter, Morwena, which later results in her being banished from Chipenden. She revealed to Tom that she was going to become a witch once back in Pendle Hill, claiming that's where she belonged. In the sixth book, Alice uses a blood jar to fend off the Fiend and keep him from taking Tom's soul. Tom, worried that Alice would have to face the Fiend's wrath, realizes that from now on they have to stick close together which would be a hard life as Tom would be really worried to so much as let Alice out of sight. In the seventh installment, Alice is named by Bony Lizzie "her own gift for the County", as Mam said the same about her son Tom. In the Spook's Destiny, she is dragged into the Fiend's Domain by The Fiend after the blood jar cracks. After the god Pan returns her as a favor to Tom after the Fiend is defeated, her hair is snow-white from the shock.
