Sir William Fletcher
Alice is Sir William Fletcher’s only daughter. She falls in love with her cousin and her father’s heir, William Fletcher. She tries to elope with William despite her father’s disapproval of William’s Puritan sympathies. After Sir William forbids their relationship, she submits to his decision that she marry Charles Leslie instead. She then lives in seclusion, prompting rumors that she is insane, but she actually has “an angelic spirit.” After Leslie’s death, she ventures to the colonies but dies soon after the voyage, leaving her daughters, Faith and Hope, to William’s care.

"There lies my mother," cried Hope, without seeming to have heard Magawisca's consolations, "she lost her life in bringing her children to this wild world, to secure them in the fold of Christ. Oh God! restore my sister to the christian family."
"And here," said Magawisca, in a voice of deep pathos, "here is my mother's grave; think ye not that the Great Spirit looks down on these sacred spots, where the good and the peaceful rest, with an equal eye; think ye not their children are His children, whether they are gathered in yonder temple where your people worship, or bow to Him beneath the green boughs of the forest?"
