Which Gakuen Alice Character Are You?<br />

Welcome to Alice Academy!<br />

Okay, calm down. You’ve just discovered that you possess an ability like reading minds or spouting water from your ears on command. Are you<br />

going crazy? Some kind of genetic freak? Calculating the sales potential of those mushrooms growing in the basement? Possibly, but you also<br />

possess what’s called an “Alice” - a special magical talent far beyond the capabilities of regular humans. Congratulations! Your next step 1<br />

is to enroll at Alice Academy, the government-sponsored, premier education facility for all Alice-gifted students. You’d better start packing.<br />

Once you’ve said your goodbyes and stuffed your suitcase, it’s just a quick trip to Tokyo (look for the giant gorilla billboard) and you’ll be<br />

ready to start your new life at the Academy! Your education will be taking a giant leap forward, as you’ll be spending your days learning<br />

from the best Alice-equipped teachers in the world. 2 Plus, no need to worry about room and board: all students are provided with spacious<br />

on-campus dorm rooms and dine on delectable cooking from our in-house chefs. 3<br />

We don’t neglect our students’ learning environment, either. Despite its location in the heart of the city, Alice Academy’s grounds are<br />

extensive; in fact, it’s possible to spend your entire school career there without ever needing to leave! 4 You’ll discover separate buildings for<br />

the Elementary, Junior High, and Senior High divisions, administrative offices, state-of-the-art laboratories, exotic animal pens, a fire station<br />

and hospital, and the shop-centric Central Town, all surrounded by beautiful fields and lush forests. 5<br />

In addition to core subjects like math and history, your education will include special extracurricular classes on how to use your Alice. Divided<br />

up by Alice type – latent, technical, somatic, special, or dangerous – and integrated across all three educational divisions, these classes will give<br />

you a chance to meet and work with upperclassmen and teachers who specialize in your fields. Students who display exceptional aptitudes may<br />

even be given specialized advanced coursework to further hone their abilities. 6<br />

Best of all, Alice Academy spares no expense when it comes to special school events, including everything from concerts by famous former<br />

alumni to a visit from the circus. You’re guaranteed to have a fantastic time at the Academy, 7 and don’t forget to prepare something<br />

extra-special for the School Festival two-week extravaganza. We look forward to seeing you soon!<br />

Mikan<br />

Nothing gets you down – not hard work, not dismal grades, not even<br />

that awful boy who tried to set your hair on fire. There’s only been one<br />

exception: when Hotaru left for the academy without saying good-bye.<br />

Following your best friend in the whole wide world all the way to Tokyo<br />

seemed like a good idea at the time, but what’s this about not being able<br />

to leave - ever?<br />

Hotaru<br />

You’ve always had a talent for inventing extraordinary things, like robotic<br />

mail-delivering turtles and scent-enhancing pig snouts. Now Alice<br />

Academy’s state-of-the-art lab equipment and rich business contacts give<br />

you the perfect chance to exploit that talent to its fullest. Too bad you had<br />

to give up a happy life living with your friends and family to get it.<br />

Luca<br />

While you put up a tough front, you’ve got a shy and sensitive streak a<br />

mile wide, making you particularly susceptible to Hotaru’s blackmail.<br />

Your animal-pheromones Alice makes you popular with creatures both<br />

humongous and small, while your cute looks make you popular with the<br />

girls. You, however, spend most of your time worrying about your best<br />

friend Natsume instead.<br />

Natsume<br />

You’re the most popular boy in Class B – and, thanks to your fire Alice, the<br />

most dangerous. You don’t seem to care about anyone or anything except<br />

your best friend Luca and escaping from the academy. Unfortunately for<br />

you, the teachers have taken a particular interest in your abilities and<br />

enrolled you in a few “off the record” extracirculars.<br />

Mr. Bear<br />

A stuffed bear given life by a student at the academy, you’re a recluse<br />

who lives alone in a cabin in the Northern Woods. Young school children<br />

admire your cute exterior at their peril: your sharp axe and lightningquick<br />

fists are always at the ready.
