In the book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, the Caterpillar doesn't represent anybody from either the fictional nor the real Alice's life.The Caterpillar is also unlikely to represent anybody from Alice Kingsleigh's life in Tim Burton's 2010 movie as in that film Wonderland/Underland is supposed to be a real place. So when Alice sees the blue butterfly at the end, THAT is the Caterpillar and nobody else is.(Similarly, the twins Faith and Fiona are not the Tweedles.)
