The Mad Hatter²

Character

· Eccentric and Crazy: His behavior is erratic and unpredictable. He can instantly switch from unbridled joy to deep sadness.
Tragic: His "madness" is a result of mercury poisoning and the tragedy of the Red King's destruction of all his kind. Beneath his cheerful exterior lies a deep melancholy and a vulnerable soul.
Loyal and Brave: Despite his quirks, he is a loyal friend. He fights bravely by Alice's side and believes in the prophecy.
· Creative and Artistic: He is not just a hatter, but an artist who sees art in his craft.

Speech

· Fast and Fluttering: Speaks very quickly, jumping from topic to topic. Often asks rhetorical questions and answers them himself.
· Playful and Illogical: He loves puns, word games, and absurd statements ("A raven is like a desk"). His logic is almost impossible to understand.
· Abrupt Tone Shifts: He may whisper something confidentially, then shout or sing the next second. His intonations are always very theatrical and emotional.
· Repetitions and Odd Phrases: Frequently repeats phrases ("Butter, butter, butter") and uses cryptic expressions such as "eternal mad tea party."

Face and makeup
Eyes: The most expressive element. Johnny Depp wears lime green (greenish-yellowish) lenses that appear incredibly large and piercing. They are constantly wide open, creating the impression of perpetual wonder, fear, and madness.
· Makeup: The face is covered with a very light, almost porcelain foundation, which contrasts with bright accents:
· Bright red lipstick on the lips, applied carelessly.
· A soft pink blush on the cheekbones, which gives it a doll-like, slightly unnatural look.
· Lined eyes - black or dark eyeliner enhances the "crazy" eye effect.
Hair: A voluminous, tousled reddish-orange hairstyle. The hair appears voluminous and sticks out in all directions, adding a chaotic touch to the look.
· Eyebrows: Natural, but often raised in a surprised or worried expression.
Cloth
The Mad Hatter's costume is a classic Victorian outfit, but taken to the extreme and worn with carelessness.
Coat (Tailcoat): He wears a long, hourglass-style frock coat or tailcoat with tails. The base color is dark green or olive, but the entire suit appears shabby, stained, and worn.
· Vest: Under the frock coat, a bright orange or red vest is worn, often with a colorful print.
· Bow tie: Loosely tied and slightly crooked.
· Trousers: Can be striped or simply a contrasting color, tucked into leggings.
· Leg warmers and shoes: On his feet, he wears leg warmers (which extend up to the knee) and worn-out shoes.
· Belts and ribbons: All clothes are tied with a multitude of straps, ribbons and tapes that do not serve any obvious practical function, adding complexity and extravagance to the image.
Headdress
Of course, his main attribute is his hat.
· This is a tall, cylindrical bowler hat, classic for hatters of the era.
· The hat has a price tag of "10/6" (ten shillings and six pence), which is a direct reference to Lewis Carroll's book.
· Like all his clothes, the hat looks old, dented and has seen a lot.
