The Lory in *Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland* is commonly read as a caricature of Lorina Charlotte Liddell.
The Lory appears among the birds and animals gathered after Alice escapes the pool of tears. Carroll based this group of characters on people connected with the boating excursion of 4 July 1862, when he first told the Alice story to the Liddell sisters and Reverend Robinson Duckworth.
Lorina was Alice Liddell’s older sister, and the name “Lory” closely echoes “Lorina.” The Eaglet is traditionally associated with Edith Liddell, while the Duck refers to Duckworth. Alice herself appears as Alice, and Carroll represented himself through the Dodo.
The Lory is not the same character as the Eaglet or Dodo, even though all three appear in the same early Wonderland episode. The identification is a literary allusion rather than a statement that Lorina literally became the fictional bird; such character correspondences are part of the book’s playful layering of real people and invented nonsense.
