Well, you're in luck! Sweet Alice is canon! She was originally human and is still relatively young by youkai standards, and its canon that she still acts and thinks very much like humans do. She also likes to go to the human village and put on puppet shows for the children there!
Also, contrary to some portrayals of her being anti-social or snobbish, she is willing to let any travellers spend the night at her home if they are trying to get through the Forest of Magic. Its just that she's very work-centric and tends to focus so much on her work that she ignores the guests beyond providing the basic necessities so she doesn't make for much conversation (most find it unsettling to have someone invite you itno their home and then ignore you for the most part) unless you almost literally drag it out of her (like Marisa does).
