The main female protagonist is Alice, second in command and field leader of the Pumpkin Scissors. She is an inexperienced soldier from a noble family who graduated from the military academy just as a ceasefire was announced midway through her graduation ceremony. Alice's impulsive and reckless behavior often puts her and her team in danger. Despite this, she holds a strong sense of duty and justice, striving to uphold her family's military traditions, unlike her father and sisters, who believe she should adopt a more feminine demeanor. As the current heir, she will likely lose her position when her younger brother reaches adulthood.
Unlike her subordinates, who favor firearms, Alice prefers a short sword engraved with her family crest. However, she reveals her true combat prowess with her special weapon, a long double-bladed cavalry sword named Mahne. Another interesting trait is her ability to sense something good or bad about to happen, often feeling chills on her neck. Alice is engaged to Lionel Taylor, another noble who supports her ideals, though hints throughout the series, especially in episode 22, suggest some feelings between her and Randel Oland.
Alice has another unique characteristic: although left-handed, she trained herself to use her right hand for everyday tasks, reserving her left hand for serious combat situations. This tactic allows her to deceive her opponents, as explained in the final episodes of the series.
