- You may be looking for Carroll's neighbour who inspired the character.
Alice Liddell was a character in Lewis Carroll's book, Alice in Wonderland. The character was inspired by a real girl named Alice Liddell who was Carroll's neighbour. (PROSE: The Wildthyme Effect)
Zoe Heriot's wide-eyed curiosity "gave her the air of an Alice in Wonderland". During her first experience in the Land of Fiction, while lost in the Forest of Words, Zoe found her jumpsuit replaced by an old-fashioned pale-blue dress with a silk sash, a full skirt puffed out by stiff under-petticoats, in addition to high-buttoned boots and a ribbon in her hair. She failed to recognise this outfit's significance, as Carroll's books were unknown in the City where she had been raised. For a time, Zoe blundered through Alice's story: she saw a caterpillar on a giant mushroom, glimpsed a white rabbit checking its pocket watch, then stepped through a door only to fall screaming down a deep rabbit hole, while the Master of the Land observed from his Citadel. Later, Zoe recounted these events to the Second Doctor, who explained that they came from the Alice books. (PROSE: The Mind Robber)
Alice herself later appeared as a character in the Land of Fiction, where she attempted to locate the Sixth Doctor. She travelled with the Doctor, Jamie McCrimmon and Zoe to the Mistress. She bled ink. She attacked the cyber-converted Trolls. When the Doctor returned Zoe back to the universe, she became the new mistress of the Land of Fiction. (AUDIO: Legend of the Cybermen)
