Morino Korisu ( (もり) () こりす?), also known by her alias Nero Alice (ネロアリス, Nero Arisu?), is a member of the evil organization Enormeeta.

Appearance[]

Korisu is younger than any of the other girls. She has blonde hair, and wears a simple sailor themed dress and hat, a string necktie and leather belt, and two small buckle shoes. She often quietly but intently stares with her bright red eyes.

Her Nero Alice outfit is based on the Victorian-era character Alice. She wears a long dress, overlaid with an apron, and 2 large ribbons, one atop her head and another around her waist, tied at the back. 3 stars appear across her forehead.

Inside her Dollhouse, she can appear as an adult woman, changing both her appearance and her clothing.

Excited/Empowered[]

Unlike Baiser, whose appearance changed when excited. Alice doesn't physically change when excited. The only thing that change is the stars that appear across her forehead, which increase to 13 and put together, make it look like a massive scar running horizontally through her forehead.

Personality[]

Korisu is a quiet and reserved girl. She has a large collection of precious old toys. After Utena offered to fix a damaged doll of hers, Korisu has felt close to her.

Korisu became a member of Enormeeta after she grabbed ahold of Venalita's tail. She likes to hold him, most likely due to his resemblance to a plush toy. She has been wanting to get a new toy lately.

Korisu is calm and distant, as shown when she looked on with apathy when Loco Musica was forced to perform in the nude, and even yawning while Lord Enorme was stripped of all her clothing and spanked viciously.

It appears that Korisu's silence and apathy is not simply borne out of shyness, but rather a lack of social understanding. During her interactions with Haruka, she didn't speak, and showed almost no emotion. When they later met again and fought as Nero Alice and Magenta, Korisu showed the same behavior. When Magenta decided to stay and "play" with her, she showed a sadistic smile. It is likely that after spending time with Baiser, this is what Korisu thinks a friendly smile looks like.

Abilities[]

Trans-Magia (トランスマジア, Toransu Majia?, lit. "Transform") is a power that transforms Korisu into her Nero Alice form. She can perform Trans-Magia by using a transformation star provided by Venalita. However, due to her young age, she cannot do much, as she gets exhausted easily.

Recognition Inhibition (認識阻害, Ninshiki Sogai?) is an ability that prevents people from recognizing a transformed magic user.

Alice's main magical ability is the manipulation of her toys. She can increase their size, and make them move and fight. It later evolves to the point Alice can make toys work like a real tool. One example is making a Ultraman transformation device toy work like a real one and turn Magenta into a giant. Another one is when she made a video game console big and sucked in all the members of Tres Magia, the Shio-chans, and Enormeeta (excluding Leberblume), trapping them inside a video game as the characters, and anyone playing the game could control their clothing and actions.

Dollhouse (ドールハウス, Dōruhausu?) is one such use of her ability. It allows her to create an enclosed space within her dollhouse, wherein she can manipulate its inhabitants' perception of reality, changing their mindset and appearance. In addition, its mental aspect is powerful enough to interfere with and even rewrite memories, though these effects will wear off when the recipient is no longer in the dollhouse. Although Korisu was able to manipulate Tres Magia into believing they were a family of three (a mother, father, and infant daughter), she was unable to affect Sister Gigant.

Relationships[]

Hiiragi Utena[]

Korisu approves Utena

Korisu sees Utena as a friend, helping her heal when she got sick from sewing her doll together. Korisu also approves of Utena when she takes her to the toy store to replace toys that were damaged in combat, or Kiwi broke.

Trivia[]

  • Korisu has not spoken aloud in any of her appearances. However, she did seem to whisper "Trans-Magia" in chapter 11.[3]

    Whispered transformation

  • "Morino Korisu" (杜乃 こりす) can be read as "Little squirrel of the woods" or "Little (A)'lice in the woods" (森の子リス).
  • Although the anime depicts Alice's application of her abilities on people as hypnotism, the manga confirms that it is genuine reality manipulation, with one example being when she nursed Utena back to health, and another being the two-chapter Loco Souls arc.
  • Korisu likes to draw.[4]
  • In concept art, Korisu was shown with a more fairy-like appearance, wearing a double-breasted dress, capelet held in place by a ribbon, and mary janes. Her hair is largely the same, with the exception of a half-up braid being included.
    • As Nero Alice, she wears black opera gloves and a black strapless evening gown with a v-cut and five four-pointed stars in a column. The top two stars are cutouts exposing her sternum and belly button, while the bottom three stars are presumably designs on the dress.
