Alice Munro is the half-sister of Cora. Alice is a blonde with blue eyes. She is the daughter of Alice Graham, the second wife of Munro. She is very kind, beautiful and gentle girl.
Alice is an archetypal "girl in trouble" who throws her hands when bad people come and inspires such kind people like Hayward for eternal devotion. Alice often acts helplessly and through fear, but with the heat of passion she finds an inner strength to confront.
As a result, Alice also falls in love with Major Hayward, and with the blessing of her father to marry, they become engaged.
