More Alice Observations

crossover_chickI'm up to Burning Curiosity in my Alice playthrough. Been wandering around, finding secrets and noticing things.
I. Alice never seems to have a reflection, except for in the one mirror for the "sinking clocks" puzzle. She never shows up in water, or the crazy funhouse mirrors.
II. In some parts of Hatter's levels, like in the mirror maze, it looks like he's not only been writing on the walls, but also the CEILING. There appear to be symbols carved up there.
III. A lot of Wonderland is actually quite creepily beautiful. I never looked around all that much before, but damn, do some parts of it look amazing.
IV. Found a new grasshopper tea, and got my hands on a ragebox that looked damn near inaccessible. I've actually made a list of the items I've found:
American McGee’s Alice Powerups:
1. Ragebox – In the middle of the first room of Beyond The Wall
2. Darkened Looking Glass – Hidden behind a bookcase in the Skool Library in Skool Daze, accessed by pressing the screaming face panel at the top of the room with a toy
3. Ragebox – In the Skool Gymnasium in Skool’s Out, positioned in the little room across from the lever room (Easy) or in the middle of the roof slats (other difficulties)
4. Ragebox – In the hollow stump with the bouncy mushroom in Dry Landing
5. Grasshopper Tea – At the bottom of the steam vent room in Herbaceous Border
6. Darkened Looking Glass – Hidden behind a pillar at the beginning of Fungiferous Flora
7. Grasshopper Tea – Hidden on a secret path below the boss arena in Centipede’s Sanctum
8. Ragebox – Hidden behind a portrait of the Cheshire Cat on the left side of the entrance hall in Castling, accessed by standing in front of it
9. Ragebox – In a nook formed by the wall and the “ceiling” in the first room of Mirror Image, accessed by jumping up one of the “ceiling” slats
10. Darkened Looking Glass – Hidden on the side of the tunnel room in Mirror Image, accessed by Alice jumping out of the tunnel as it passes the square bit of floor its on
11. Ragebox – Hidden in the open area of tilting floors in Mirror Image, accessed by jumping up into the empty asylum room, then onto the Roman numerals (Actually, I didn't see this one, so I don't know exactly where it is. But I KNOW it's there in some difficulties, I spotted it in somebody's playthrough)
12. Grasshopper Tea – Hidden under the stairs right before the water and clocks puzzle in Crazed Clockwork, accessed by carefully dropping under the stairs
13. Ragebox – Hidden in a high nook across from Gryphon’s room in Crazed Clockwork, accessed by standing on the gear below it, jumping as it sinks into the water, and letting it carry you up to the nook
And there's more to come, I know. Mostly more Rageboxes, though there should be a couple more Darkened Looking Glasses as well.
V. Alice's hair is a lot redder than I realized! A lot of the official art and such shows it as more brownish, but in the actual game, her hair's actually a rather dark red. It's kind of neat.
Yeah, I've really got Alice on the brain at the moment. Must find way to indulge other fandom tastes and thus get cracking on fanfic/getting the other RP characters out.
