Alma, a member of the Eldar Dwarf race within the spirit folk village, descends from a lineage of head elders as the great-granddaughter of Dominic. Her inherited role as a future leader stems from a rare contract with a mid-class spirit, variably depicted as a Tanuki-like entity with Shiisha lion traits or the fiery Ifrita—a bond she risks exposing by summoning it during crises, defying village edicts. Raised valuing racial equality despite dwarven pride, she balances duties as both warrior and priestess under Dryas. Tasked with aiding Rio and Latifa after a village misunderstanding, she mentors Latifa in traditions and spirit arts while refining her martial skills under Rio’s guidance, forging a fiercely protective sisterly bond.
Brave yet mischievous, Alma oscillates between playful teasing—especially toward friends Sara and Orphia regarding their affections for Rio—and unspoken personal longing, reciprocally mocked. Her pride in dwarven strength clashes with sensitivity toward critiques of her femininity, often sparking fiery retorts. Wielding earth-element magic and a massive mace, her combat prowess topples foes like minotaurs, complemented by deft craftsmanship. Strategic alliances with Sara and Orphia prove vital during missions, such as safeguarding Christina Beltrum or countering the Heaven’s Lion Corp. Defying protocols to summon Ifrita against Galarc’s monsters underscores her prioritization of ally safety over tradition.
Her journey intertwines with pivotal events: integrating Miharu’s group into village life, shielding Celia and others in Rio’s absence, and navigating tensions with her grandfather Dominic, whose jests about polygamy strain their rapport. Alma’s evolution from village guardian to key conflict participant mirrors her struggle to harmonize cultural heritage with expanding loyalties, cementing her role as both steadfast dwarf and adaptable ally.
