Alpha/Relationships

Cid Kagenō / Shadow
Alpha is the highest-ranking member of Shadow Garden only below Cid, she can be considered his right hand and the person closest to him. This has given her the privilege of dealing with Cid as an equal, being the only one that refers to Shadow without using honorifics, and leading the entire organization. Being the leader of Shadow Garden and Cid's right-hand woman is her greatest joy and pride. She became fiercely defensive of her position when Delta tried to challenge her for it.

After being saved from her possession by Cid, Alpha swore absolute loyalty to the boy. She respected her leader, even in awe at his power, wisdom, and resolve. Despite this though, Alpha was frustrated that Cid doesn't rely on her, and Shadow Garden and she believed that they are a hindrance to him. This came ahead when her leader seemingly betrayed Shadow Garden and Alpha desperately fought him to prove her worth to him and failed. Defeated, Alpha was left in despair until she discovered that Cid had not abandoned her and that everything, he did was for the good of the Shadow Garden. After this revelation, her affection and appreciation for Cid did nothing but increase.

Like Beta, Alpha acts as somewhat of an assistant to Cid. However, when they are alone, Alpha likes to act more like his lover/wife, something that Beta or Epsilon, despite being in love with him, would never do. The affection that Alpha has for Cid is so great that she is willing to kill whoever hurts him, a clear example of this was that she was willing to kill the knights who tortured Cid during Alexia's kidnapping.

Alpha is madly in love with Cid, which was ascertained by her Japanese voice actress, Asami Seto [ Japanese VA interview ] during her interview.

In the video game "Master of Garden", Alpha's romantic feelings for Cid is further fleshed out. When she dozed off, Alpha's mouth slips about her love for him before she immediately tries to hide it when she's fully conscious. It's implied that after Shadow Garden finally defeats the Cult of Diabolos, Alpha plans to marry Cid as revealed during a conversation, Alpha entertained the idea of calling herself "Alpha Kagenou". She also seems to be aware of Cid's longevity as she requests Cid to prolong it to 300 years, which is the average life-span of Elves.

Beta
Being the first person, she recruited into Shadow Garden, Alpha appears to share a rather close bond with Beta. Indeed, it turns out they already knew each other before this, as they are childhood friends before they each developed Demon Possession and were exiled. She effectively serves as her assistant and second-in-command (as Alpha is effectively Shadow Garden's de facto leader).

Gamma
Like Beta, Gamma is Alpha's right hand when it comes to managing Shadow Garden. In that sense, she is responsible for the financial and administrative affairs of the organization, as well as the head of its operations in foreign countries.

Delta
Alpha is often the one who has to keep the "loose cannon" Delta in check. In the past, Delta even challenged her for the position of Shadow Garden's second-in-command but was defeated. Since then, Delta has shown to be rather scared of Alpha, who in turn treats her as somewhat of an unruly pet dog.

Despite the lack of respect in their relationship, however, Alpha deeply cares for Delta. When the Beastkin was presumably killed by "John Smith", Alpha was devastated and took it upon herself to avenge her. Conversely, when Delta returned and revealed that her disappearance was seemingly all part of the Shadow's plan, Alpha was so overjoyed at seeing her alive that she did not even punish her and embraced her instead.

Epsilon
Despite her pride, Epsilon deeply respects Alpha, which is why she tends to carry out the tasks assigned to her in the most effective way possible.

Zeta
While respecting Zeta's skills, Alpha wishes she could report in more often. She also remains unaware that Zeta is superseding her authority by having created her own branch within Shadow Garden loyal solely to her.

Eta
Alpha seemed to be wary of Eta as she became worried when Beta wanted to hand the Earthling she captured to the researcher.

Yukime
Having learn that she was her master's partner, Alpha went to her to recruit her into their ranks. Alpha had Yukime to carry out Mitsugoshi Company's more unscrupulous activities. Alpha has a respectful working relationship with Yukime, due to both of them being in love with Shadow helped them to get along with each other well.

Iris Midgar
Alpha met Iris while fighting off the mutated Milia, during which she chastised the princess for unknowingly prolonging the girl's suffering. Afterward, Iris warned the elf to not interfere with her and her men's duties, but Alpha just scoffed her off.

Alexia Midgar
Despite having forced Cid to have a relationship with her, Alpha seems not to give much importance to this fact (unlike Beta), assuming that it was just a ruse on Cid's part to learn about the cult's plans.

Akane Nishino
Despite having never directly met the Otherworlder, Alpha was concerned enough for her safety that she placed her under Beta's custody, fearing what Eta would do to her if she got her hands on her.

Claire Kagenō
Both Alpha and the rest of the Shadow Garden members usually refer to her with a lot of respect. Since her kidnapping as a child, and on Alpha's orders, Shadow Garden members often watch her in order to make sure she is safe.
