Alpha (The Eminence in Shadow)

Alpha is one of the female main protagonist of the series The Eminence in Shadow of the anime, manga, light novel, and web novel. She is the second-in-commander of the vigilante organization Shadow Garden and the leader and first member of its sub group, the Seven Shadows. She is also a descendant of the Elf Hero Olivier. 
She was voiced by Japanese and in English. 
==Appearance==
Alpha is a beautiful female elf with blue eyes and long blond hair (platinum color in web novel) and a slender body. She is described to have a strong resemblance with the "Elf Hero" as well as Beatrix who is her lost aunt.
In her Shadow Garden uniform, she is in a slime and black uniform with gold pattern around her legs and across her arms. The chest area is exposed, but the shoulder area connects to the neck area. Under her chest is a diamond shaped shaped symbol. 
She usually wear a dark dress steampunk skirt with opera gloves, high heels necklace and neck ruff, especially when having a especially when having a meeting with Shadow Garden. There are also belts attached to the top of legs and she wear a high hell with also gold patterns on it. 
==Personality==
Alpha is very loyal to to her comrades of Shadow Garden and especially when it comes to her master, Shadow. Because of the pain that she suffered from the Order of Diablos as a child, she is driven by revenge and deep hatred. She will fulfill her wish and will despise anyone who stand in the way of her and comrades. as she is determined to make Shadow Garden prosper. In additions of her loyalty, she also have deep faith for her master, a faith so strong that she would even sacrifice her life for him. Her dedication to Shadow is so strong that she almost immediately realises the "master plan" in his, in reality, utterly arbitrary actions; the fact she can so quickly reverse engineer an intricate scheme also reflects her inherent intellect. 
Due to his lack of empathy and general obliviousness, Shadow failed to understand how his newly crafted identity of John Smith, without informing the Shadows, would create the impression of him discarding them. After John Smith defeated her, Alpha broke down into tears due to being so devoted and perhaps dependent upon him, that she couldn't accept the apparent betrayal. Upon returning to headquarters, she remained in a depressed state, lacking the willpower to continue any existing plans or life anymore without Shadow. However, Cid left a coded message to Beta, which - whether he intended it or not - relayed a message to reassure all in Shadow Garden about his consistent faith and appreciation of them. Thus, Alpha was able to quickly regain her usual strong attitude and tireless methodology. Cid's John Smith plot was made to execute a credit crunch to make money for himself, but since it had an accidental side effect of collapsing the Cult's economic influences, all Shadows felt their belief and devotion to him strengthen. 
Like many in Shadow Garden, Alpha is in love with Cid; while she is sometimes content to set back for her rivals to undertake petty and harmless squabbles, other times she overwhelms the others with her superior power, or other times pulls rank as the original recruit to justify herself to join a plan with Shadow. Despite some breaches of composure from envy, she mostly doesn't display the same frequency of jealousy as the other girls due to her confidence in being closest to Shadow. Most of Shadow Garden are intimidated of her because of her power and imposing nature, with even the dim-witted Delta being able to feel fear at the prospect of upsetting Alpha. 
==Abilities==
As the second strongest of her team with only Shadow surpassing her, she was able learn her master’s technique “Shadow Wisdom”, which she could take defences and martial-arts techniques and and martial-arts techniques and transform into fatal fighting styles.
* Master Swordsman: She can easily beat Iris Midgar (the stronguest student Spellsword Academy), which she defeated the mutated Milia, which Iris struggled against. She is also the only person to have defeated Delta, apart from Shadow.
