The Orphan Alice story passed rather quickly to the point where the Alice mother was complaining about her being too old to not act "city-sect." I always figured she spent quite a while off-panel at this part of the story waiting for her mother.
Reimu can make friends and children feel easy with their songs.
Marisa with her big hat can cross creeks and bring a lot of food.
Patche has knowledge of medicine herbs and smart enough to be a chief.
Then, what is Alice good in ?
Tsundere ? Busybody ? Raper ?
None of it is useful in daily life.
Alice is the yukkuri version of the seven coloured doll master Alice Margatroid.
From that... she's really skillful.
Making bed that won't easily crumble even if you roll on it.
Making dish and table that food wont easily spill out.
Some individual also has pool or toilet inside their nest.
They can also make tools.
