Alicia

Sign in to edit

Alicia, also known as the World Tree, is the Transcendent of Life of Maple World. Regarded as the mother of all life, Alicia protected the creatures of Maple World during the invasion of the Black Mage, bringing as many as she could to the Tower of Oz, where she left behind her soul to safeguard them.

After Damien's invasion of Maple World, Alicia's physical body was destroyed, and her life force was scattered across the world, rendering her an inactive Transcendent.

Story[]

Mother of All Life[]

After the fall of the Ancient Gods, the Overseers created the Transcendents to keep the gods dormant, as well as to separate the three worlds with their influence. Alicia was created as Maple World's Transcendent of Life and was tasked with protecting the living creatures of Maple World.

Alicia resided within the World Tree of Maple World, with which her name would eventually come to be synonymous. As part of her responsibilities, Alicia protected the Erdas of Maple World, which flowed through the World Tree in their perpetual cycle of reincarnation, and maintained the balance of life in the world.

Alicia, like the rest of Maple World's Transcendents, remained largely uninvolved with the affairs of mortals. Though she considered humans to be her children, just like other living creatures, Alicia resented the selfish and violent nature of human beings, believing that they would inevitably wipe themselves out with their unending wars. Because of this, Alicia refused to help humans and instead chose to protect the unintelligent life forms displaced in human wars.

The Winter Bard[]

After the Black Mage awakened as the Transcendent of Light, he began gathering together his Commanders and waged a war of destruction across Maple World, hoping to draw out heroes who could seal him away. Unaware of the Black Mage's true motives, Alicia came to believe that he intended to wipe out all life in Maple World, for which she planned to preserve as many living things as she could before they could be killed or corrupted by his dark influence.

Before the end of the world could arrive, Alicia began gathering unintelligent monsters throughout Maple World aboard her Ark, in which she planned to take those creatures to a sanctuary safe from the Black Mage's reach. Her mission soon took her to El Nath, where she began trying to capture a Thorny Bear monster.

As she attempted to catch it, a traveling bard named Ryude came across her and mistakenly believed that the Thorny Bear was attacking her. Ryude began playing his harp to calm it down and told Alicia that the bear had a cub nearby, adding that Thorny Bears grew aggressive when protecting their young.

Ryude, unaware of Alicia's true identity, assumed that she was a normal human girl and noted his surprise that she had made it so far into the snowfield without proper winter gear, clad only in a dress. Alicia suddenly sneezed, startling Ryude and causing one of the strings on his harp to break.

The lulled Thorny Bear suddenly grew aggressive again and began to attack Alicia. Ryude jumped down from his perch and hit the bear with his harp, causing it to run off. Alicia then snapped that it had taken her three days to find the bear and asked why he would make it run away. Ryude told her that he had saved her life and, noticing that her lips were blue, took her back to his camp, promising to help her capture another one later.

At the camp, Ryude and his comrades - Hazelle and Mylar - enjoyed a meal of snow rabbits with Alicia, who thanked them. After hearing them call Ryude 'boss', Alicia asked if they were soldiers. Mylar clarified that they were retired mercenaries. He explained that though there used to be more of them, the rest of their company had gone home, leaving only the three of them to travel around. Mylar asked Alicia what she was doing all the way out in the snowfield, to which she explained that she was collecting unique animals for the Ark in anticipation of the end of the world.

Though Hazelle thought that Alicia was out of her mind, Mylar explained how there were rumors that someone called the Black Mage had joined the fight. Alicia then silently noted to herself that the Black Mage had finally revealed himself. Ryude sat up at the mention of the Black Mage and asked who he was. Hazelle explained that amidst all the chaos, many people were turning to dark magic, to which Ryude simply told him not to pay mind to rumors. Mylar then told him that they needed to stock up on food before war broke out. Ryude noted that they were near the Lion King's Castle when the girl reminded him about his promise.

Alicia and the Thorny Bear cub

The next day, Ryude went with the girl to capture a Thorny Bear cub. Mylar told him that the Lion King's Castle was near the Thorny Bear den and asked him to check it out while they were in the area. After finding a cub for the girl, Ryude felt that something was wrong and headed closer to the Lion King's Castle, just as Alicia called after him that the Thorny Bear cub was too small to adjust well to captivity.

In the distance, Ryude was surprised to see that the castle was in flames. The mercenaries and Alicia rushed to the castle and found that all the soldiers were missing. Ryude suspected that the castle had been attacked, but saw that there were no intruders in sight. Alicia warned them not to go inside, as they might not come out alive. However, Ryude told her that his music was inspired by life and asked what kind of bard he would be if he never tested his bravery.

Inside the castle, Ryude discovered that the Lion King, Von Leon, had become a new Commander of the Black Mage after wiping out all of El Nath, and that he was speaking with Hilla about attacking Ereve. As Ryude attempted to flee, Von Leon caught him and began fighting him in a fierce duel which he easily won. As Von Leon moved for the final blow, Alicia suddenly appeared and told Ryude that she had warned him not to go inside.

Hilla was shocked to see the girl, whom she recognized as Alicia, the World Tree and the Transcendent of Life, as she believed that Alicia didn't interfere with mortal affairs. Alicia told her that unlike most times, she had need of Ryude and teleported them both away. Safely away from the Lion King's Castle, Ryude stood dazed in shock at the thought of the world actually ending. Alicia told him that the Black Mage was a Transcendent, just as she was, and that his quest for ultimate darkness would mean the end of all life in Maple World.

Ryude then passed out and had a dream that he was walking in an endless snowfield, where those who had fallen in battle rose one by one in penance for his crimes, telling him to look upon the horrors that he had wrought. Ryude awoke to find that Mylar had carried him back to Hazelle, who had gathered the survivors of the Lion King's assault.

Together, Ryude and the soldiers traveled with Alicia to the Dragon Master's Tower, which Freud had created to be lit as a warning beacon to signal the end of the world. As they began making preparations for Von Leon's imminent assault on the tower, Alicia continued her search for animals to capture. As she had expended all her power in creating the Ark, Ryude decided to go after her in order to keep her safe.

Ryude found Alicia attempting to herd a Curly Cow, for which he found sap from Insectivore Slimes to help lead it. He then gave Alicia a list of all nearby animals and their habits in order to aid her in her quest. Alicia was impressed that there were humans who actually kept their promises. Ryude reminded her that it was the very reason why she had saved him, to which Alicia agreed, adding that that she couldn't just ignore him and let him die. She began explaining that she was the mother of all life, not the creator of all life, though she quickly trailed off before she could say anything more.

Ryude asked Alicia why she didn't take care of humans when she had such a warm heart, but Alicia retorted that she would never help humans, as they only harmed other living things, to which Ryude noted that she was a cold-hearted mother. As he turned to leave, Alicia asked if he was really going to fight the Black Mage's army. Ryude told her that he had to try, to which Alicia replied that even if humans were to avoid the end of the world, they would still continue waging their terrible wars forever. She then told Ryude that humans would one day end their own world by killing each other repeatedly.

She explained that though humans were also precious and poor little children to her, she could never unconditionally love children who abandoned their own home. Ryude replied that she was right, but he then pointed out that it was in the nature of children to wander and go astray. He told Alicia that though it may take some time, humans would one day find a new home and settle down, and so he asked Alicia not to hate them too much.

When Alicia went quiet at his words, Ryude thought to himself that though he had no way to know what she was thinking, he hoped that she was feeling a bit of relief and some small level of sympathy towards humanity, as they were ultimately just lost children trying to find their way, in need of a mother who could guide them.

That night, Alicia found Ryude quietly crying atop the tower, where he told her that he feared that the next day's battle would require great sacrifice. He asked Alicia if the Ark was ready, to which she replied that she only had one monster left, adding that she had also saved a spot for him on the Ark. She told him that all humans knew was war, but Ryude countered that they knew hope as well. Alicia told him not to die and promised to come back to see him one day.

As she headed off, Ryude asked her to pass his harp along to someone who would appreciate it. Alicia asked him why, as she thought that he had wanted to be a bard. Ryude told her that he had finished the song which he had been working on, and that was enough for him. At her insistence, he played his song for her and the Thorny Bear cub.

Later on, Alicia visited Mylar and gave him the remainder of her power in order to help him light the beacon faster, as the beacon normally required five mages to light. She also gave him a message to pass along to Ryude - that as a Transcendent and the mother of all life, she forgave Ryude for all his sins and asked him to stop blaming himself for all the lives he had taken as a mercenary.

Tower of Oz[]

Following her departure, Alicia sailed the Ark to the far, northern reaches of Maple World, where she created an underwater tower called the Tower of Oz, modeled after her favorite fairy tale, The Wizard of Oz, including the tower guardians: Dorothy, the Tin Woodman, the Cowardly Lion, and the Scarecrow. There, Alicia released the captured animals, who roamed around their respective ecosystems which Alicia had rebuilt. In order to keep the tower safe, Alicia split her soul and installed it as a protector against the Black Mage's dark magic.

War Against the Black Mage[]

Moved by Ryude's bravery, Alicia ultimately changed her minds about humanity and decided to use her powers to take a stand against the Black Mage. During the Heroes' battle against the Black Mage, Alicia lent her support to help them seal him away in the Temple of Time. Around this time, however, the Black Mage attempted to steal Alicia's powers, which severely weakened her and caused the World Tree to wither away.

During the evacuation of Leafre, Athena Pierce secretly brought her along with the refugees. After they crashed on Victoria Island, Alicia helped the refugees set up Altaire Camp. Soon after, she decided to keep her promise to see Ryude one last time and visited the Dragon Master's Tower along with the Thorny Bear cub that Ryude had given her, which had grown up since then. She found Ryude's frozen corpse still kneeling in place and told him that because of his sacrifice, brave heroes had gathered at the sight of the beacon and united together, eventually managing to seal the Black Mage.

She also told him that she herself had helped the Heroes after being moved by his bravery, though she dismissed it as merely an act of a mother protecting her children. Finally, she explained that his friend, Hazelle, had manually activated the explosives to trigger the avalanche that had held back Von Leon's forces, which had resulted in his fiery death, and that Mylar had spent his life force in order to accelerate the beacon spell.

Alicia seals herself in Root Abyss

She gave a final farewell to Ryude and used her powers to scatter his body before setting the Thorny Bear free, telling it to live freely in the world that Ryude had given his life to save. She then brought his sword to the Tower of Oz in his memory, after which she returned to Victoria Island. There, she created Root Abyss deep beneath the World Tree, sealing herself away amidst the strong life energy in Sleepywood in order to recover from the Black Mage's attack. With Alicia, the Black Mage, and Rhinne sealed away, Maple World - without its Transcendents to exert their influence - slowly began reverting into its natural state by fusing with Grandis.

Soon after the battle against the Black Mage, Freud and the remaining Shamanesses of Azwan divined a prophecy: “As the final battle approaches, the unshackled wolf will devour the World Tree.” Realizing that the World Tree and Maple World would be in grave danger, Freud began making preparations to help the Heroes face the threat they would face in the future.

Root Abyss[]

Centuries later, after the Black Mage broke free from his seal, the Commanders discovered the location of the World Tree and dispatched Damien to recover her. He and his army traveled to Root Abyss, where he discovered Alicia slowly regaining her powers. Rather than capturing her then, he told Alicia that he needed her at full strength and placed a seal on Root Abyss in order to prevent her from leaving. To guard her, he created four Seal Guardians: Von Bon, Pierre, the Crimson Queen, and Vellum.

Word soon reached the Maple Alliance that a previously uncharted area in Sleepywood had appeared. Neinheart summoned an Alliance member and asked them to investigate. While investigating, they fell deep below Sleepywood into Root Abyss and woke up to find Alicia standing over them. Alicia told them that she wanted to leave, but the Alliance member told her that they needed to stay and investigate the area. Alicia explained that they were in Root Abyss, and that it wasn't a place where they would want to stay.

She told them that they should leave together, and so the Alliance member found several exits around Root Abyss and told her that she could leave using them. Alicia explained that she had already tried many times to leave using those exits, but she had found that they didn't work for her. The Alliance member then tried the exit and discovered that it worked for them.

Upon finding that they could leave, the girl gave them a scroll and explained that she had brought it with her because it was meant to allow one to return to the nearest town. However, she told them that it didn't work for her, and so she asked them to try it. Though the Alliance member noted that the scroll was ancient, they found that it worked for them. They returned to let Alicia know, who wondered whether she would be stuck in Root Abyss forever.

The Alliance member asked her how she had ended up in Root Abyss in the first place, as it didn't seem like a safe place for a little girl. Alicia explained that she had created Root Abyss centuries ago in order to recover her powers. Confused, the Alliance member asked who she was, and was shocked to discover that she was the World Tree. Alicia explained that a demon with an eyepatch had appeared and had tried to kidnap her, and that he had created four mysterious doors before he left.

Just as the Alliance member decided to investigate the doors, they found themselves suddenly transported before Vellum, who threatened the Alliance member to back down. Realizing that the eye-patched demon was Vellum's leader, the Alliance member told them that the Demon was their ally, but Vellum grew furious and told them not to mention the betrayer's name. After threatening them with a powerful attack, Vellum sent them back to Alicia.[6]

The World Tree with the Cygnus Knights

The Alliance member decided to return to Ereve in order to let Neinheart know what they had discovered. Neinheart was pleased to know that the World Tree had been located, but he was less happy to learn about the Seal Guardians. He decided to mobilize the Alliance against the Seal Guardians in order to free the World Tree. With the Alliance member's help, they were able to defeat the Seal Guardians and brought Alicia back to Ereve, where she was absorbed inside the gemstone on Shinsoo's forehead for her safety.

While battling the Seal Guardians, the Alliance discovered the Tower of Oz deep underground, where they learned that the Black Mage's influence had seeped past Alicia's defenses, corrupting the tower guardians. In order to keep the ancient creatures of the tower safe, Alicia's soul asked the Alliance to help defeat the corrupted guardians. The Alliance then sent its forces to reclaim the tower, thereby saving the monsters in the tower.

Attack on Ereve[]

Inside Shinsoo's gemstone, Alicia slowly began recovering her Transcendent powers. Soon after her abilities were fully restored, Damien invaded Ereve while Cygnus and her Chief Knights were away. Damien battled and mortally wounded Shinsoo before shattering her gemstone and extracting Alicia. Alicia immediately noticed that Damien's half-blood ancestry meant that he had a human body which was completely unfit to handle the strain of his demon powers.

She warned that he would eventually be consumed by his power and ultimately be destroyed if he continued, though Damien merely dismissed her words. Just then, the Knights arrived in Ereve, only to find the entire island in ruins. For an instant, they saw Damien smirking in front of Shinsoo's body before he teleported away with Alicia.

Heroes of Maple[]

After the battle of Black Heaven, Damien and his demon army were tasked with attacking Maple World. The demons conquered the Rien Archipelago and captured Afrien on Turtle Island. After the Heroes attempted to rescue him, Damien appeared and began facing them. Afrien then sacrificed his life to help the Heroes escape, after which Damien returned back to his tent. There, a captured Alicia told him that he had crossed a line by corrupting Afrien and warned him that the other Heroes would be coming for him. However, Damien revealed that he had intentionally provoked them in order to gather all his enemies into one place.

Soon after the Heroes traveled to Earth in order to obtain the Transcendence Stone, Damien began making preparations to track them and take the Transcendence Stone first. Meanwhile, Alicia continued persuading Damien to give up his quest for vengeance. She told him that much like Hilla betraying her kingdom and Von Leon selling his soul, there would be a price for Damien in exchange for the Black Mage's power as well. Though she conceded that he grew stronger by absorbing the power of others through his mark of corruption, she also warned that there was a limit to how much his body could handle.

Damien simply laughed and told her that she was in no position to worry about anyone but herself. Alicia asked if the other Commanders knew about his plan, to which Damien told her that he was keeping it from them, especially Arkarium, as they wouldn't simply stand by and watch. Alicia then pointed out that even though Arkarium had betrayed the Transcendent of Time, he had known his limitations as a mortal and had never tried to absorb her powers. Alicia told him that it still wasn't too late to stop, but Damien simply replied that it wasn't just his fight anymore.

After Damien obtained the Transcendence Stone, he used its powers to destroy Alicia's physical form and bind her Transcendent power to the stone. With the stone in his possession, Damien was able to command Alicia's Transcendent abilities and used his new power to drain the life force of Maple World, causing the World Tree and the rest of Maple World to grow corrupted and withered.

The Heroes then fought Damien in a climactic battle and managed to defeat him with the help of the Demon. With Damien's ambitions ended, Alicia's spirit emerged and congratulated the Heroes for saving the world once again. However, when Evan asked how long it would take for the life force of Maple World to return, Alicia estimated that it would likely take a thousand years. When they asked whether anything could be done to expedite it, she told them that with her physical body destroyed, her powers were tethered to the Transcendence Stone, which they could use to scatter her power across Maple World.

Mural of Heroes and World Tree

Alicia scattering her life force, depicted in a mural in the Sanctum of Abraxas.

Though Luminous worried that it meant that she would cease to exist, she reassured him that she would only be in a different place. She told the Heroes that Damien had inflicted his misfortune upon Maple World in the most piteous way and asked them to take care of the world so that the same misfortune wouldn't befall it again. With that, the Heroes shattered the Transcendence Stone, allowing them to scatter Alicia's life force across Maple World, restoring vitality to the withered lands.

As a result of Alicia's life force being scattered, as well as the Transcendent of Time's powers being split and weakened between Alpha and Beta, Maple World was bereft of two of its three Transcendents. Additionally, without Alicia's protection, the Black Mage was able to take the Erdas of Maple World out of their natural reincarnation cycle in order to create the Arcane River, from which he awaited the Adversary to destroy him - the last Transcendent of Maple World - and allow him to create a new world without Transcendents.

Gate to the Future[]

In the illusory future created by Lucid in the Gate to the Future, Cygnus - deeply worried about the threat of the Black Mage – attempted to seek out the World Tree, who had disappeared long ago, believing that she would be able to help them face the Black Mage. However, when Cygnus and her Knights finally discovered the World Tree, they learned too late that it had all been a trap set by the Black Mage. As a result, Cygnus' soul was stolen by the Black Mage, who turned her into his puppet. Having lost its divine power, Ereve crashed onto Victoria Island, with Cygnus leading her fallen Knights against Maple World.

Vellum introduces himself as His Majesty's Seal Guardian, causing the Demon to conclude that Vellum is working for the Black Mage. The Demon demands to know whether Vellum is here to steal the World Tree's power and asks if the Black Mage had put him up to it. Vellum claims that no one can order “him” around, and that everything happens in accordance to “his” desires. The Demon asks if he's referring to the demon with the eyepatch, but Vellum angrily tells him to be silent, claiming that the Demon doesn't deserve to speak about “him” after turning away from them. As Vellum begins to drop rocks on him, the Demon declares that he'll get what he wants out of Vellum one way or another, to which Vellum scoffs at the Demon's claim that he could overpower him before shooting a fireball attack. He then mocks the Demon for falling to his knees after such a paltry combat, adding that the rumors of his power have been greatly exaggerated, after which the dialogue returns back to the generic script, which has Vellum threaten the player before teleporting them back.
