The Hyral family is a name well known in the highest levels of the Cosma Naturalis Church.  Alma Hyral is the youngest daughter of this family. Doted upon by her parents and homeschooled until the age of twelve, she found herself not emotionally equipped for the challenges of Alexander Academy.  She's known to be ultraconservative, klutzy, and frumpy.  She's also a fan of Astronomy, Theology, and Philosophy over any of the harder sciences.

Born on Ramuha, Alma is the youngest daughter of the prominent Hyral family, a name well known amongst the highest levels of the Cosma Naturalis faith.  Alma is believed to remain a devout adherent to the doctrine of the Cosma Naturalis Church. She has a reputation for being ultraconservative and frumpy, and she was something of a meek pariah amongst those who knew her at Alexander Academy. It is rumored that her white magic takes a rather unique form, as related to her field of study.  At a superficial glance, she's something of a klutz, and a nerd who focuses on studying astronomy over the harder sciences. She was also known to be a magnet for bullying, and its rumored she was even withdrawn from the Academy early to protect her from that, which doesnt help her case.  After a short bout of employment with the Murasame Zaibatsu which resulted in her resignation, she's begun her tenure in the Archadian Empire.  As of late its said that she's started to come out of her shell...

'''White Magic:''' Having come from a world where one's skill at White Magic depends on one's faith and focus she's known to be an expert healer.  Beyond that, the extent of her magical ability is relatively unknown.
+
Alma had her whole life planned out for her as a member of the prestigious Hyral family.  She'd study White Magic, learn the tenets of Cosma Naturalis, graduate from the prestigious Alexander Academy, be married at the age of eighteen, and simultaneously attend Medical School while raising a sprawling family.  As an innocent girl with a rambling mouth she was all too happy to please her doting parents, she didn't know any better.  During her childhood she became infatuated by the stars and astronomy, something which her parents presumed was a phase she'd grow out of..  she never did. 
  
−
'''Cooking:''' Alma is an excellent cook, albeit one lacking in imagination.
+
Unfortunately Alma was a frail youth with intractable asthma and a plethora of other medical conditions.  If not for her family's status and skill in White Magic she might not have survived to adolescence.  As she grew more skilled in White Magic she learned how to take care of herself which allowed her to function outside of a sickbed.  Due to this and Kyra's own unique problem, she was homeschooled until the age of twelve.  The only occasions that she was allowed outside of their estate was for liturgy and choir practice.
  
−
'''Songbird:''' While it's rare to hear her sing, Alma is a talented Alto singer from her time in Choir.
+
It was decided that by age twelve that it was safe for her to enroll at Alexander Academy.  When she arrived, she found herself faced with new challenges..  she had no idea how to interact with people outside of her family, and this developed into severe social anxiety.  After her first few interactions in which she faced harsh rejection, she retreated into a shell of meekness.  This only resulted in her being relentlessly bullied.
  
−
'''Night Owl:''' The night is Alma's time, she's up during the these hours more often than the day time.
+
Facing the prospect of being a social pariah, Alma became incredibly envious of her sisters.  Tira had all the social graces that she did not, and Kyra had many natural gifts.  Kyra had always been her hero, and when she rebelled..  Alma decided to follow suit, she just didn't have the courage to make her rebellion open.
  
−
'''Astronomer:''' Alma can be seen obsessively gazing into a telescope and recording her findings during most nights.
+
Alma decided to experiment with White Magic, and she integrated this into her studies of astronomy and astrophysics.  She believed that by doing this she might discover the truth of the origins of the universe, and thus prove that her goddess existed.  On her world experimentation with White Magic was considered completely taboo by all sects of Cosma, and was stringently suppressed.  But she thought she knew better than they.  She was completely driven by a need to feel special...
 +
 
 +
...and maybe she got her wish.  Maybe she didn't.  Either way something about her was changed...
 +
 
 +
Horrified by her discoveries she decided not to rebel any longer, even if she had learned that most of what she believed in was wrong...
 +
 
 +
After Tira's death, her brother Ramza decided to inform her parents just how relentlessly bullied Alma was, as he believed she wouldn't be able to handle it in their time of mourning.  She was withdrawn from Alexander Academy as a result....
 +
 
 +
Galianda fell into darkness shortly after.
 +
 
 +
And then her time in the World of Ruin began...

'''Astrologer/Astronomer:''' Alma's base class is White Mage, however her magic takes on a unique form due to her experiments...
 +

'''Cooking:''' Alma has become nearly a master chef under the tutelage of a certain someone...
 +
 
 +
'''Songbird:''' While it's rare to hear her sing, Alma is a talented Alto singer from her time in Choir.
  
−
'''Disadvantage - Pacifist:''' Alma will never initiate a fight, and will never defend herself.  She might waive this in the defense of others... or when faced with a powerful minion of Chaos.
+
'''Night Owl:''' The night is Alma's time, she's up during these hours more often than the day time.
  
−
'''Disadvantage - Social Anxiety:''' When meeting new people, or engaging in conversations with multiple people at once, Alma often stutters, and is unable to emotionally handle the overload.
+
'''Astrophile:''' Alma can be seen obsessively gazing into a telescope and recording her findings during most nights.
  
 
'''Disadvantage - Frail:''' Alma is frail and was generally considered sickly as a child.  She falls ill easily, but is able to mitigate this somewhat with her mastery of White Magic.

Profile

Born on Ramuha, Alma is the youngest daughter of the prominent Hyral family, a name well known amongst the highest levels of the Cosma Naturalis faith. Alma is believed to remain a devout adherent to the doctrine of the Cosma Naturalis Church. She has a reputation for being ultraconservative and frumpy, and she was something of a meek pariah amongst those who knew her at Alexander Academy. It is rumored that her white magic takes a rather unique form, as related to her field of study. At a superficial glance, she's something of a klutz, and a nerd who focuses on studying astronomy over the harder sciences. She was also known to be a magnet for bullying, and its rumored she was even withdrawn from the Academy early to protect her from that, which doesnt help her case. After a short bout of employment with the Murasame Zaibatsu which resulted in her resignation, she's begun her tenure in the Archadian Empire. As of late its said that she's started to come out of her shell...

Character History

Alma had her whole life planned out for her as a member of the prestigious Hyral family. She'd study White Magic, learn the tenets of Cosma Naturalis, graduate from the prestigious Alexander Academy, be married at the age of eighteen, and simultaneously attend Medical School while raising a sprawling family. As an innocent girl with a rambling mouth she was all too happy to please her doting parents, she didn't know any better. During her childhood she became infatuated by the stars and astronomy, something which her parents presumed was a phase she'd grow out of.. she never did.

Unfortunately Alma was a frail youth with intractable asthma and a plethora of other medical conditions. If not for her family's status and skill in White Magic she might not have survived to adolescence. As she grew more skilled in White Magic she learned how to take care of herself which allowed her to function outside of a sickbed. Due to this and Kyra's own unique problem, she was homeschooled until the age of twelve. The only occasions that she was allowed outside of their estate was for liturgy and choir practice.

It was decided that by age twelve that it was safe for her to enroll at Alexander Academy. When she arrived, she found herself faced with new challenges.. she had no idea how to interact with people outside of her family, and this developed into severe social anxiety. After her first few interactions in which she faced harsh rejection, she retreated into a shell of meekness. This only resulted in her being relentlessly bullied.

Facing the prospect of being a social pariah, Alma became incredibly envious of her sisters. Tira had all the social graces that she did not, and Kyra had many natural gifts. Kyra had always been her hero, and when she rebelled.. Alma decided to follow suit, she just didn't have the courage to make her rebellion open.

Alma decided to experiment with White Magic, and she integrated this into her studies of astronomy and astrophysics. She believed that by doing this she might discover the truth of the origins of the universe, and thus prove that her goddess existed. On her world experimentation with White Magic was considered completely taboo by all sects of Cosma, and was stringently suppressed. But she thought she knew better than they. She was completely driven by a need to feel special...

...and maybe she got her wish. Maybe she didn't. Either way something about her was changed...

Horrified by her discoveries she decided not to rebel any longer, even if she had learned that most of what she believed in was wrong...

After Tira's death, her brother Ramza decided to inform her parents just how relentlessly bullied Alma was, as he believed she wouldn't be able to handle it in their time of mourning. She was withdrawn from Alexander Academy as a result....

Galianda fell into darkness shortly after.

And then her time in the World of Ruin began...


Abilities

Astrologer/Astronomer: Alma's base class is White Mage, however her magic takes on a unique form due to her experiments...

Cooking: Alma has become nearly a master chef under the tutelage of a certain someone...

Songbird: While it's rare to hear her sing, Alma is a talented Alto singer from her time in Choir.

Night Owl: The night is Alma's time, she's up during these hours more often than the day time.

Astrophile: Alma can be seen obsessively gazing into a telescope and recording her findings during most nights.

Disadvantage - Frail: Alma is frail and was generally considered sickly as a child. She falls ill easily, but is able to mitigate this somewhat with her mastery of White Magic.

Disadvantage - Klutz: Alma is not graceful, agile, or dextrous and often trips over her own feet.

Ethnic Trait - Ramuha: Alma can sense changes in barometric pressure, and thus adequately predict when the weather is about to change.

Name Thoughts
Niklas Dragonius Thanks for the incredibly awkward advice. You've always been rather kind to me.
Seloria Delacreaux She's my best friend.. and in some ways, she's been like a mother to me. Thank you.
Rena Laradyne Sometimes I wonder if what I see of you is the real you. And other times I wonder if I truly desire to see the true Rena Laradyne. Either way, I remain your friend.
Will Sherman What do those eyes of yours truly see, when they look at the world? I'm glad Riku has a friend like you.
Maximilien A rather intense individual. I promise that I'll keep your secrets.
Artyom W. Valodjn He helped save my life, and he supports me most of the time. He's so.. reserved though, I wish I knew more about him.
Sanel There's more to this boy than a glance would tell you. He's not as simple as he makes himself out to be, but he does seem innocent. Something happened to him to make him this way.. but maybe some things are best left buried.
Soan Sagittarius He's always there to encourage me when I need it, and he knows.. more than most. I just wonder if he can really accomplish what he hopes to do. When he talks about it, it almost makes me believe he can.
Thirza Ingersleben She's always kind to me and supportive but she seems to have a low opinion of herself. I hope I can help her get through that.. She's a better person than she knows.
The Network You're not a science experiment, no matter what she says.
Annia Leradine Right.. it's our secret.
Riku The lonely times of staring intently into the darkness have already come to an end. When I take these memories with me on my journey, a new tomorrow will begin.
Sora An incredibly nice guy and an unlikely hero. I hope that I'll be able to help you restore Destiny Island.
Sarisa Tycoon There are no true royalty on Galianda, so meeting her was a real experience. She's so down to earth for a Princess. *Sweatdrop* Maybe too down to earth.
Karth Mason An amazing warrior, and a truly kind individual who cares for his family. I hope that he's able to cure his mother of her affliction.
Kamon Lionward Sorry about what I asked you to do... I'd take it back if I could. Also, I wish I had more footage of you in battle, as I totally think you're Dragoon Man.
Ryusei Isshiki It's good to have you back. I'm surprised you remember me, thank you for being so kind.
Gerad Iron Fogair Well he's kind of a huge lecher, but there's something more to him than meets the eye. Anyhow, this treasure hunt could be fun.
Rapunzel And Mom once told me she thought I was growing my hair out too long! Wields a mean frying pan both inside and outside of the kitchen. Pascal is adorable.
Aeschere Childs Seems like a reasonably well-balanced individual, and she's pretty friendly. Which makes me wonder why she hangs out with Akari Seran.
Jidro Gerrison I hope you and Annia find happiness together. You're certainly not what my Father led me to believe.
Saitei Dennou I'm glad we could free you... may you prosper in this world. I just hope you don't try to kill me again!
Serah Farron A talented healer, and both a kind and caring individual.
Myla Mason Skilled engineer and heir to a pirate legacy. Could it get any better than that?
Cronus Sometimes you're pretty surly, but that you turned out as you did despite your past speaks volumes. Thank you for helping me.
Kara Is the past better left buried? Maybe, but that's your choice to make. Whatever your choice, I'll help you any way I can.
Isaac Hanlon Thank you. Living a life without regret.. easier said than done, but I'm still going to try.

Family

Name Thoughts
Kyra Hyral Maybe one day I'll be the sister you deserve. Until then, I'll stay out of your way.
Tira Hyral Only fond memories Tira. Maybe some day we'll be able to add to them without guilt.
Father Hyral While I'd like to see you again some day, daddy, the life you laid out for me is no longer the one I want to lead.
Anastasia Hyral There are so many things I wish I could have told you Mom. But I didn't have the courage, and the opportunity is gone.
Ramza Hyral Resentment fades over time. Now I just hope I'll be able to see you again some day.
Rest of the Family Could you have survived this long? Maybe not. It's still worth the attempt.

Not so Friendly Terms

Name Thoughts
Helena Celba Well, the past is the past. Resentment tends to fade over time.
Akari Seran I hope you're a better friend to Aeschere than I think you are.
Garland Chaos personified.
Feige Abramson I pity you, more than anything. If you are dead, then I pray that Yahweh has mercy on your soul. I doubt that Chaos will.
Souji Murasame I find it difficult to judge you based on your goal. Some part of me hopes you succeed. The other part of me wonders if the cries of your victims will one day drown out the wind. Will you be able to hear her voice over the price you paid?
Ophelia Something about her feels off.. and she tried to kill Avira, I'm sure of it.
Illua ...jerky serial villain straight out of a Ramuha spy vid.
Ivo Galvan Seriously? Are you really such a lecher that you'd take advantage of an innocent amnesiac?
Alberic Lux Recent developments are causing me to reassess how I feel about you. You're still a horror.
The Seeker What I fear most about you is not your incomprehensible power, but the fact that despite that power you're unknown to the world at large.
Lord Ombra The past is the past and I can't fret over it any longer.
Five Farewell.

People I Barely Know

Name Thoughts
DRAGOON MAN! A hero!
Leon I hope you see her again one day.
Minette Odam Kind of funny sometimes, but I admit, I feel pretty badly for her. I was a social reject in a different way and still am in a lot of ways.
Raine Arland Well he likes my cooking.. I don't really know much else about him though. He seems kind of reckless.
Maira I heard that someone's stomach was the key to their heart, but it's sort of ridiculous with her! She's very nice though.
Margaux Fleury She's so elegant and exotic.. compared to me, maybe she'll take up my offer for her to go to Seloria.
Avira The leader of VALKYRI, a strong warrior and nice person overall. I just wish Garland didn't keep harassing her.
Ulharisk Sorry that I freaked out. The dragon thing is pretty cool.. really!
Faruja Senra Take it from me, religious zealotry can blind anyone.
Argider Did you really kill a child!?
Caran Steel You have a lovely cat.
Gabranth He's rather serious but.. sometimes hints of kindness shine through. Best not to tempt him, as I'm told he's a master of the Force Choke!
Reize Seatlan So, right.. per Riku you are actually as decent one can get outside of brain damage. It has been duly noted that you are not a harem master.
Angantyr Vespar So you're the assassin of the Emperor of Archades. I.. don't know what to think of that. I just know I shouldn't be caught around you.
Haneisuru I'm not really into the 'pain' thing. But to each their own. Mimic powers sound pretty cool, just haven't witnessed you using them yet.
Mercade Alexander Leader of the TDA, pretty good at Bogart impressions and reasonably good at cake fights.
