Character Role Analysis

Alice

Now, you may be saying to yourself, "Alice isn't a mentor. She's the female lead. She's Princess Leia, not Yoda. Get on the right starship to the right Death Star, Shmoop!"

Who is it that teaches Tony about embracing his inner happiness? Who makes Tony realize that he should go study grass? Who instructs the Kirbys that "The next time you want to go slumming, stay away from our neighbors"? Princess Yoda, that's who.

(You could also see Grandpa as the mentor figure for everybody, dispensing wisdom like "You can't take it with you." But Grandpa is in the foils pair below.)
