A gentle but foolish older knight. Like all knights, he constantly falls off his horse and onto his head, though he assures Alice that he's a skilled rider. In addition to being a knight, the White Knight is also an avid inventor. He invents all sorts of things, from revolutionary ways to climb over a gate to desserts, but his inventions are overwhelmingly unsuccessful or more difficult than whatever they're trying to replace or solve. The White Knight also loves to be prepared for anything, so his horse wears spikes on its ankles to protect it from shark bites and he collects things that might be useful in a difficult situation. Despite finding him maddening and obnoxious, Alice is touched by the White Knight's kindness and the song he sings her.
