Alice Maxwell was a teenage girl befriended by Clayton Riddell and Tom McCourt after the Pulse in the novel, Cell. The trio traveled through the apocalyptic landscape of the story until her death at the hands of the "sprinter" Gunner, who threw a cinderblock at her, hitting the side of her head. She died over the course of almost a day, mumbling incoherently and occasionally becoming possessed by The Raggedy Man to relay messages to Clay, with her friends watching over her. She was fifteen years old at the time of her death. In the film adaptation, she will be played by Isabelle Fuhrman.
