Jabberwocky Poems (In Kagihime Monogatari Eikyū Alice Musou)- Lewis Carroll
According to Chiron:

Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe. All mimsy were the borogoves And the mome raths outgrabe.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The scythe that rip, the blades that cut! Beware the Jubjub riots, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!"

He took his vorpal sword in his hand, Long time the manxome foe he sought -- So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through! The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back.

Aruto and Takion Arcs
Jabberwocky is a powerful, dangerous, and seemingly demonic entity from thousands of years. From what can be told by putting various pieces of the stories and the tragedies of the wonderland, Jabberwocky banished from the hell thousand years ago and eventually enters into human world as human demon.

Jabberwocky decides to conquer the entire world mercilessly with riots and his goal is to annihilate the mankind’s innocents and he tries to fill the world with endless despair, fear, grief, rage and sorrow. He immediately sets his demonic armies of riots upon the countries, quickly killing, slaughtering, or subjugating many innocent peoples with no taking prisoners. He sought to make a terror to the other countries to declare the world genocide. Because of this, he decided to create a hopeless world where despair reigns; using his demonic powers and he summons his army over billions of riots to conquer the world to achieve his goals.

After he subdues most of the forces against him, Jabberwocky additionally defeats the heroes from the worlds. With his new army, it seemed that no one could shake his grasp on the world. By near the end of the game, however, he is defeated by a coalition of the heroes and Alice Musou Girls and eventually slowly dissipates into thin air. With this, Jabberwocky will never reappear again, thus ending both his evil plans and the Alice’s menace for good.

Appearance
Jabberwocky is a ageless demon human with long green hair that only reaches his neck length, crimson color eyes and two Diablo horns. He only wears a red Diablo style king's outfit consist of long sleeved long coat, a demon chest armor inside his coat, a long dark gray pants with demon scales and a pair of demon style boots. He also have a pair of demon style gloves with long red finger nails.

Personality
Jabberwocky is depicted as a well-mannered yet overly dramatic demon obsessed with villains, concealing the appearance of a ruthless and sadistic demon, and yet a man of his word. Despite this, he is the Embodiment of Despair, and doesn't believe that hope exists for everyone. On the depth, he is calm, cunning, and patient. He sees himself as an artist of despair. He knows that conquest comes when enemies turn their back on fear rather than face them. However, Jabberwocky does not acquire his satisfaction from conquest itself, as others might. He seems bored with actual administrating, leaving that up to his royal wife Queen Mabbelwocky. Jabberwocky feeds on the terror that preceeds the conquest. As his death and disappearance, Jabberwocky speaks a little polite words and protesting about his defeat by Alice years ago.

Fighting Style
Jabberwocky is fast, powerful, and mixes his attacks with projectile magic. His attacks have great reach, massive damage, and decent range which makes him a last boss type. His normal attack string gives him a small window of invincibility but can also be hard to manage. Overall, his attack strings are akin to a boss-type.

The most effective way to play Jabberwocky is to use his charge and aerial charge attacks to facilitate his C1-2 to C6-6. His normal jumping combo attack is fast with decent coverage that can launch his opponents and pull of a air combo. His jumping charge is slow but deals decent damage and good for going into crowds. Jabberwocky's charge move are particularly effective and reliable; it is fast, relatively easy to execute creates an explosion good for crowd control. Variations can be used with his dark elemental attacks to crumple the opponent before spamming this move, and using his jumping normal attack/air combos to gain an dark element bonus.

Jabberwocky's element of choice is simple. Since he can't use his scythe for elemental attacks, Range is a bad choice. Most of his elements are those that adds more offensive power to his C1-1 such as Bolt and Slay. Flash can be used to enhance his other moves, but C1-1 already breaks guard, and Jabberwocky has tons of attacks that can bypass blocking. Fire isn't too useful since Jabberwocky can already burn the enemy with jumping attack/air combos. Drain and Absorb are pretty useful, since C1-1 is a spammable elemental move which turns Jabberwocky into a sturdy character.

He also has nearly no strengths and weaknesses and above average stats like Liddell even he gets max level, well geared or weapons equipped with high attack power (or have multiple offensive attributes). He also has very high health rating, which allows him to survive more hits from the enemy attacks than the other characters. In terms of his Highest HP rating, Jabberwocky is the toughest character in the game (which par than Liddell) with starting 10,000 HP or higher, which allows her to survive more attacks than other characters especially in any stages on Chaos difficulty. As he gets Level 100 without armors and accessories equipped with increasing HP rating bonuses, his minimal HP is 100,000 (100,000,000+ HP with armors and accessories equipped with increasing HP rating bonuses).
