What character is shown?

Answer

Alice in Wonderland

The story behind the answer

This character is Alice from Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. She’s typically shown as a blonde girl in a blue dress with a white pinafore and a headband—an image popularized by John Tenniel’s 19th‑century illustrations and later adaptations. That look distinguishes her from Dorothy (blue gingham, braids, ruby slippers with Toto), Wendy (a pale blue nightgown from Peter Pan), and Goldilocks (curly hair with porridge and bears).

Carroll, an Oxford mathematician writing as Lewis Carroll, filled Alice’s journey with logic puzzles, wordplay, and whimsical characters like the White Rabbit
