The '''Mad Hatter''' and '''March Hare''' are characters from ''[[Kingdom Hearts χ]]''. They host a tea party in [[Wonderland]].

Shortly before [[Data-Sora]] arrives in [[Wonderland]], Data-Alice spotted the world's Keyhole in the court of the Data-[[Queen of Hearts]], but was forced to flee from her soldiers, in the process stumbling upon the unbirthday tea party hosted by the Data-Mad Hatter and Data-March Hare. Her memories of this event, among others, were scattered by the bugs affecting [[Jiminy's Journal]] and became [[Inkling]]s.

A portrait of the Mad Hatter and the March Hare appear in the Tea Party Garden and one of the buildings in the Second District has a sign based on the Mad Hatter.

==Design==

The Mad Hatter appears as a short, hyperactive man with grey hair, a large nose, and heavy eyebrows. He wears an orange overcoat, a black buttoned-up shirt, green trousers, blue socks, black shoes, a blue bow tie, and his signature green hat. On the right side of the hat is a sheet of paper with "10/6". The number was originally used by Lewis Carroll in the original book to denote the hat's price of “10 shillings and a sixpence", roughly £1.26 in British currency.

The March Hare appears as a tan rabbit similar to the White Rabbit, albeit larger. He is shown with blond hair and heavy eyebrows, much like his compatriot. The March Hare wears a red coat, a brown tunic, an orange bow tie, beige pants, and large shoes to accommodate his large feet.

The Mad Hatter and March Hare first appeared in Disney's ''{{w|Alice in Wonderland (1951 film)|Alice in Wonderland}}'', which was based on the book by {{w|Lewis Carrol}} called ''{{w|Alice's Adventures in Wonderland}}''. Alice first meets the pair at a "Mad Tea Party" where they celebrate their {{W|unbirthday}} (any day that is not a birthday). The pair later appear at the trial where they are used as witnesses to prove Alice's guilt of exposing the Queen of Hearts' heart-print bloomers. They last appear during the chase sequence following the trial where everyone from Wonderland fades away as Alice awakens from her dream.
