Alpha

Alpha (アルファ) (Aλφα) is the second-in-command of Shadow Garden, being the first of the original Seven Shadows, as well as a descendant of the "Hero" Olivier. After being cured of Demon Possession by the Shadow, she devotes her life to him and his cause.

Appearance
Alpha is a young voluptuous beautiful female elf with long golden blond hair and blue eyes, as well as a slender figure with a large bosom. Most notably, she has often been described as strongly resembling her ancestor, the Hero Olivier.

In her civilian outfit, Alpha normally wears a revealing dark decorative gown with opera gloves and high heels, along with a choker and necklace.

During Shadow Garden activities, she adorns the customary slime bodysuit with the chest area exposing her cleavage, as well as unique decorations patterned around her uniform. Additionally, she wears a domino mask attached with a flower to hide her identity.

Personality
"If that's what you want, then I'll devote my life to it..."

- Alpha to Cid Kagenou

Alpha is driven by revenge against the Order of Diabolos, for the suffering she endured when she was a child. Hence why she is determined to make Shadow Garden prosper in order to fulfill that goal and looks down on those who get in her and her comrades' way.

However, Alpha is more than that. She is compassionate and loyal to Cid and her comrades of Shadow Garden. Alpha has the utmost faith in her master, knowing his full strength, but there are times she is concerned for his safety and well-being and pleads for him to trust her and Shadow Garden. Her faith is so strong, she's even willing to give her life to him and nearly did so when it looked like Shadow abandoned her and Shadow Garden.

As the head who spearheaded most of Shadow Garden's operation, she always ensures that those under her command return safely and refuses to give them an order that she would not be willing to do herself. She extends this kindness to the victims of the Order of Diabolos as perfectly shown when she kills a mutated girl, knowing how much suffering she was going through.

Professional Swordswoman
Alpha has shown to be a powerful swordswoman, easily disarming Iris Midgar, albeit by catching her off-guard, and defeating a monster she struggled against. She is also the only other person aside from the Shadow who was known to have defeated Delta, whose destructive power is second only to the former. Even her master was impressed by how much she had grown in power and skill.

Infiltration
Aside from her combat abilities, she also possesses excellent stealth and infiltration skills, and is very good at hiding her presence well, except for her Lord Shadow, who can detect it.

Leadership
Alpha is a competent commander, serving as Shadow Garden's second-in-command and effectively its true leader (since she is the one who manages the organization while the official leader, Shadow, often has no idea what is going on).

Trivia

 * Alpha's biggest fear is not being able to be by Cid's side.
 * Despite being the strongest of the 7 shadows, Alpha is always training and developing new combat techniques, with the sole objective of always keeping up with Cid.
 * Cid currently owes her a meal after eating both shares of food she provided during the abduction incident involving Princess Alexia, but he has yet to have an opportunity to return the favor.
 * Alpha's hair color is platinum in Web-novels as (白金) and for some reason, Google Translate keeps translating as Gold/blonde (金). this topic has been a debate between the initial older readers of web-novel series. Even the official translator of the light-novel series, Taishi, has no idea of the hair color in the web-novel.
