Omly in Shin Megami Tensei 1, where it was shown that Uncles Red and Black really cared for her. In SMT2, Majin Alice is an optional boss guarding one of the stronger weapons in a chest.

Gah, that's right, it was SMT1, not 2. Sorry about that. It's been a while so I mixed the two up. >_>
The only odd thing here, to me, is that while Dante was in Nocturne, Alice, Belial, and Nebiros were not, so this kinda crosses the lines between MegaTen games in a strange way. Still, there is an undeniable awesome factor to this illustration.

There were plenty of demons from iterations past and present that were left out of Nocturne. That doesn't necessarily mean they don't exist at all, just that the dev team had to leave them on the cutting room floor for some reason or another.
