An Amazon of Laurent, Alma feels no need to express her feelings; though under her tough exterior is a deep and thoughtful soul. She has deep feelings for Joster but set those feelings aside when she found out that her best friend, Minerva, had fallen in love with him. She helps Roget, hoping to reclaim her kingdom. By the time of the events in Trials of Mana, she has become a loyal servant of the Laurent royal family.

Biography

Heroes of Mana

Alma joins Roget's team after an alliance of Pedda and Navarl conquers Laurent.

Trials of Mana

Alma would eventually retire from the Amazons, after her friend Minerva died during childbirth of her second child. From then on she was the nanny to Reisz and Elliot. When Nevarl takes over Laurent Castle, she is among those who survived and started a resistance movement in the outskirts of Heavensway. When the Amazons retake Laurent thanks to the heroes, she stays there for the rest of the game and welcomes the princess and prince home at the end.

As the chamber maid of Citadel Laurent, Alma was privileged to have heard of a relic known as the Kind Sphere, used as part of a rite afforded Laurentian monarchs. She tells Riesz where the sphere may be held as part of her quest to unseal the legendary Class 4.
