Wendalice is the femslash ship between Wendy Darling and Alice from the Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland fandoms.

Canon

Wendy and Alice are both British girls living in London, though Alice was alive in the 1800s while Wendy lived in the early 1900s. Both are often portrayed as being the cusp of maturity, around the same age, though Alice was originally intended to be younger. Both start their story bored of their mundane lives, telling their siblings stories about a magical world. The main difference is that Alice tells her older sister about a world of her own, which she coldly brushes off, while Wendy's younger brothers are excited to learn about Neverland. Alice's sister and Wendy's father both take issue with their younger family members having their head in the clouds, both Alice and Wendy hate the idea of taking responsibility. Both eventually get there with the help of a (presumed) native, the White Rabbit for Wonderland and Peter Pan for Neverland. Alice never intended to actually go to the world of her dreams, having fallen into a rabbit hole, while Wendy willingly went there. Alice also goes alone, not even taking her cat with her, while Wendy takes her younger brothers to Neverland.

Both are initially amazed at the wonders the magical lands have to offer, but the fun doesn't last for either. The Wonderlanders confuse Alice with their backwards rules and lack of understanding for someone "normal" like her, while Wendy is pushed into the role of a passive woman when all she wanted was to go on adventures with Peter Pan. Alice has long realized that she doesn't feel welcome at Wonderland and spends the entire story trying to leave it, but Wendy was fairly tolerant of Neverland's treatment of her until she eventually snaps. What makes this especially surprising is that Alice was trying to be polite to the Wonderlanders while Wendy was nothing but kind to the people who treated her like dirt.

At the climax of their stories, Alice and Wendy are almost sentenced to death, Alice should be decapitated for her rudeness towards the Queen of Hearts while Wendy was forced to walk the plank after refusing to join Captain Hook. Alice was saved by waking up, while Wendy was saved by Peter Pan. When they get home, they try to explain their adventures to their disapproving family members, with the story leaving it ambiguous whether it was ever real.

In the Disney adaptations, both are wearing blue gowns, Alice's is casual wear while Wendy's is her nightgown. They are also both voiced by Kathryn Beaumont.

Fanon

People have noted the many similarities between the characters, despite both works of fiction being unconnected in creation aside from Lewis Carroll and J.M. Barrie both being British. People like the idea that they would've been friends if they lived in the same time period.

Wendalice is considered the main ship for the 1951 Alice in Wonderland movie, since the nature of Wonderland makes the idea of shipping Alice with the Wonderlanders difficult.

Trivia

• They both appear in Once Upon A Time, but Alice's story being almost completely self-contained means that they couldn't interact.
• As aforementioned, both of them are voiced by Kathryn Beaumont.
