Despite her pride, the Duchess wants to be Alice's friend. Because of this, she tries to look out for her as best as she can. When she finds out that Alice does not know anything about Wonderland, she scolds Luke privately, telling him that he should give her a tour of their world. The Duchess is kind of like Tweedledee and Tweedledum, and tries to hook Alcie and Luke up by setting them on a date. Alice describes the Duchess as someone who is adept with taking care of people, and has an air of arrogance. Alice also says that deep down the Duchess is a nice person.
