History
As a child, during her visit to Wonderland, Alice befriends the Cheshire Cat.

During her return to Wonderland at a much older age, Alice and the Knave of Hearts traverse through Tulgey Woods to find Cyrus, who the White Rabbit claims to be alive and in the Mad Hatter's old house. Alice takes off her shoes and hops up into the tree to get a better look at where the house's location until spotting two gleaming red eyes and a large grin that reveals itself to be the Cheshire Cat. Weary of Cheshire's menacing glare, Alice attempts to remind him of who she is, to which he does remember, but begins eyeing her as his next meal. Backing away, Alice asks whether he will eat her, which he remarks, "Not without pepper", and notes there has been less food in the woods. Then, Cheshire states the only food available is Alice, and then pounces upon her; causing the girl to fall from the trees and onto the ground while dodging his strike. Alice tries to defend herself with a stick and hits Cheshire with it; only to be tripped by his tail. Before Alice can get up, Cheshire lays his paw against her, remarking that the Red Queen promised Alice would be the sweetest meat he ever tasted.

Before he can devour Alice, Knave steps on Cheshire's tail; aggravating the cat. As Cheshire pounces towards Knave, he throws a piece of mushroom into Cheshire's mouth. Cheshire accidentally swallows it; shrinking him down to the size of a house cat and forcing him to flee back into the forest.
