One interesting difference I have observed with Alice is her reaction to tickle missiles vs. the boyen. Instead of trying to deflect them, she just turns away and hides her head. As noted previously, the boys would aggressively defend themselves, attempting to hit the incoming fire as early as possible (i.e., as far out as they could reach). Alice giggles while I do this, so I don’t think it bothers her, she just find the counter attacking as much fun as the boyen.
