Sure, and some men say they're women. She wants to be Maelle because Maelle belongs in the canvas, and Alicia never wants to leave the canvas. Her motivation is deluding herself into feeling like she's living a life where she didn't get Verso killed - she reveals that when the chips are down. Everything else she says is cope.

>it's like Olympus. An abstract higher plane whose literal existence is highly questionable.
Headcanon. Alicia simply calls it Paris. We know nothing about the "real" world of the dessendres: it could be mostly normal or it could be as you describe, but we have nothing to go off of.

She's an extremely well-written teenager and I loved her execution. You can value the potential of Lumiere being maintained, but agreeing with her logic is baffling - all she wants is to play pretend with "Verso".

>No it isn't, she's fighting to keep the people and creatures in the canvas alive.
Nah, she's saying that because Alicia thinks it's something Maelle would have said, but Alicia doesn't even understand who Maelle was. Maelle didn't care about Lumiere and went on a suicide mission to leave it behind because it didn't feel like home. She cared about Gustave and his sister, and to some extent about his apprentices. That's it. She shows her true colors when Verso's fading. Like Aline, this canvas matters because she wants to stay and delude herself that Verso isn't dead. If she just cared about the canvas staying alive, she could've proven she could be trusted with it by leaving with Renoir.
