—Alice after she was exploded in the video game, "Level Up"

Alice Delores Green[2] (born October 10, 1943) is the tetartagonist of Big City Greens. She is Bill's mother and Cricket and Tilly's paternal grandmother, as well as the matriarch of the Green family. She is referred to as "ma" by her son, Bill Green and ex daughter-in-law Nancy Green, and is referred to as "Gramma" by her grandchildren Cricket and Tilly Green.

Appearance

Physical

Alice is shorter than Bill, has wrinkles, has light blue hair (brown when younger), and her head shape is notably square, with a face like a bird's. As shown in "Space Chicken", she has a wooden prosthetic leg in place on the right.

Attire

She wears a long pink dress which mostly covers much of her height. She wears a pearled necklace that she had got from her past husband who has passed away, black round glasses with light blue lenses, and wears pink furry slippers. She also carries a cane and has a hearing aid on her left ear.

Personality

On the surface, Alice can come off as a cranky and mean person, but deep down is sweet and caring, and will do anything for her family. A war veteran, hardened by her service in the military,[3] she can be described as someone who is "tough as nails" who never leaves anyone behind. Alice is actually a rebellious person who wants to do whatever she wants, and is stubborn and energetic for her age. That she behaves this way; It is thought to have originated from her childhood.

Abilities

Talents

• Determination: Much like her grandson Cricket, Alice has a determined mindset, which may have carried over from her time in the military.
• Driving skills: "Gramma's License" and "Gramma Driver" reveals she possesses good, though reckless, driving skills, though prior to the former episode she hasn't been seen on the road due to her driving license expiring (her license is that old it crumbles).
• Skilled Combatant: Due to being a former member of the army, Alice is extremely skilled in combat, preferably using her cane or her sword.
• Baking: Alice is known for her Feel Better Butter Biscuits, which have been known to make the person who eats them feel better. Demand for these biscuits was tested in "Cricket's Biscuits" where Cricket wants to learn the recipe for himself after Alice refuses to make him and Tilly (also Bill) more biscuits.
• Clever mind: Alice is rather creative, hiding traps in even the littlest of places in "Cricket's Biscuits" amongst other episodes.
• Heat tolerance: Alice was able to eat a whole Sultan Pepper, said to be "hotter than 7,000 suns", in one bite and she only found it "zesty".

Weaknesses

• Anger issues: Alice is known for her cranky demeanor, which leads to her always getting angry.
• Ophidiophobia: Alice is deathly afraid of snakes, calling them 'devil worms'.
• Unfamiliarity with modern tech: A weakness also suffered by the rest of the family, Alice has little to no experience with modern tech. As with Bill, whose own lack of experience with smart devices was touched on in "Gramma Driver", Alice also had her hands tied when it came to these. "Sellouts" addresses this weakness head-on.
• Small size: Alice being so small makes it easy for people to drag, push, and/or carry her places, even when she does not want to go.

Trivia

• According to the creators, Gramma Alice was heavily based on the creators' grandmother, who had the same name and personality when they describe Alice.
  • They claimed that she's a tough but sweet lady.
  • In a Tumblr Q&A, the real Gramma Alice is from the brothers' mom's mom and her middle name Delores is from their dad's mom.[4]
• Some early artwork of the series depict her in a wheelchair.
• Her right leg is a prosthetic made of wood ("Space Chicken").
  • It is unknown how Alice lost her leg. There are several episodes where Alice has different reasons why she lost her right leg. In "Winner Winner", she claims that she danced it off, while in "Hurty Tooth", she says that a doctor "took it" from her. In "Greens' Acres," she says that a hay baler cut if off.
• Some episodes (e.g. "Cricket's Biscuits", "Elevator Action") have Gramma mention that she had done at least some service in a war. It is unknown which war she served in.
  • "Cricket's Biscuits" has her use a device she had not used "since the war". One can assume that she used to be a nurse.
  • "Elevator Action" reveals that she had also done "enough flying in the war"; one can assume that she was an Air Force pilot, too.
  • In "Present Tense", she has a flashback to her time in the military, where a brother-in-arm of Alice, Sammy, was weakened and was to be left behind, but Alice persevered and brought him back anyway. She used the mantra "Never leave a man behind".
• In "Gramma's License", she used to be a race car driver as she won a certain amount of trophies.
  • While in the same episode, she drove a silver but worn car which after it got towed wouldn't be seen again until the next season.
  • She had a driver license that was that old it crumbled into dust. It had some information, such as her street address and her Date of Birth, which was October 10, 1943.
• She is the first character whose birth date has been revealed.
• No one else calls her Alice, except Nancy and occasionally Gloria.
• Alice seems to possess a wide variety of antique weapons, the most notable being a sword and a club and in "Fill Bill" she claimed to have owned a trident at one point.
• Alice apparently has access to a large sum of money, but claims she cannot get it because it is "tied up with the Feds" ("Steak Night")
• In "Gramma's License", Alice is revealed to have been born on October 10, 1943. If the episode took place on June 22, 2018 (the day the episode aired) that would mean that Alice was 74 years old. This would also mean that by the time "Blood Moon" occurred, she had just turned 75.
• Alice apparently objected at Bill and Nancy's wedding, but was ignored. She has since shown a lot of animosity towards her, though in "Cricket's Biscuits", she has been kind to her in the past.
• In "Cheap Snake", Alice is revealed to suffer from severe ophidiophobia, the fear of snakes.
• Chris Houghton joked that Alice's "cousin is the great aunt (twice removed) of Marge [Simpson] (from her father's side)", thus making the Greens direct relatives to the Simpsons.[5]
• In "Reckoning Ball", she was the only Green reluctant in signing the forgiveness contract when Chip "apologized" to them, as if she suspected he was secretly up to something.
• According to the freeze-frames in the Theme Song Takeover, Alice took out her own appendix, which is almost impossible in real life.
• She was the only character who did not get manipulated to be wild by Cricket in "Wild Side".
