The Cheshire Cat is Alice's main ally and principal companion in Wonderland, voiced by Roger L. Jackson. When Alice first sees him, she remarks "You've gone quite mangy, cat. But your grin's a comfort." He often speaks in riddles and gives cryptic (and sometimes nonsensical) advice. He has an emaciated, almost skeletal appearance, wears an earring, is covered in tattoos and appears to have grinning undergrown incisors. The player can summon the Cheshire Cat at almost any time in the game by pressing a key, but his help is limited to repeating one of his short supply of phrases. He is decapitated, rather ironically, on the Queen of Hearts's orders as he was about to reveal Alice some information regarding the connection between her and the Queen, but, due to the fact he can remove his head from his body at anytime, can still be summoned afterwards. He returns in Madness Returns as her main ally again and her "hinter". In the game, the Cheshire Cat is hinted to be inspired in Alice's cat, Dinah, who helped her escape the night of the fire.
