I believe the answer is:

alice

(Other definitions for alice that I've seen before include "Girl in literary Wonderland" , "Wonderland heroine" , "Wonderland girl; --- B. Toklas" , "She fell down a rabbit hole into a fantasy world" , "Lewis Carroll character" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
