Through life one has been told to imagine the greater things for themselves. Some may be good, while some may not however it all boils down to what you are rewarded in the end. It has been proven time and again those who conjure benign thoughts about themselves and other will always go further in life than those who posses malevolent thoughts.

Through determination, strong of mind, and inspiration given by friends, Alyss Heart is capable of overthrowing her Aunt Redd with the exceptional skills of White Imagination. Her aunt, who used Black Imagination, had succeeded in overthrowing the Queendom with her malevolence: However in the end Alyss overcomes Redd and defeats her, bringing peace to the Queendom once again. As Alyss was being cast away into Earth during the invasion of Redd, she is given her first impact of inspiration from Hatter Madigan, at the Pool of Tears. As she was about to jump into the pool Alyss spoke out and said “No one comes back.” She said looking forlornly into the pool “But you will, you have to” Hatter said.

She understood why her men could sacrifice themselves for her, and how her pureness will lead to the downfall of Redd. With her determination, strength of mind, and support from her friends she was able to finally face Redd on equal ground.

With the power of White Imagination at her side Alyss proved it would overcome the darkness any day. Even though she was outmatched, her determination allowed her to take that last stand against Redd to save the Queendom, and allow White Imagination flow through Wonderland once again.
