=== Description ===
From the opening animation from the A Storm arc:Living in primarily low light environment has heavily deemphisized the importance of color and patters in Alm clothing. Instead Alm aesthetics are built around form and silhouette, a very unique perspective among the fashion of various races. The Alm body itself is an essential part of one's outfit. One's natural skin patterns are regarded as a sign of the individual and a statement of beauty, and clothing serves to explore this notion. Cloth covering the body is sparse, but great portions are draped, cinchedTwitter: https://twitter.com/FrameDodge/status/963945789092491264 or allowed to hang freely. When in motion the areas that are covered or revealed are always shifting which adds a dimension rarely considered when evaluating the fashion of other races: time. This also redefines an individuals's silhouette and form depending on pose posture and movement. Polished silver accessories are often, but conservatively, used. Their glint in dim light compliments the soft glow of an Alm's skin patterns. In summary clothing exclusively exists to exemplify the beauty of the body rather than as a separate example of self expression. Alm fashion has remained vastly unchanged through history though minor variations do occur (for instance, the use of translucent and shimmering fabrics is a recent development in the last 50 years).Excerpt from Dr of Flanthropology Jaques Spinner's Dissertation on Alm Clothing and Aesthetics

The queen of the Alm, user of Hymns. A dancer for her people, working as one of the core members during A Storm arc, being able to use the powerful abilities of Hymns, unique amongst even the Alm. Being the first Alm seen in the series, first appearing in The Calm arc, she is one of the most active in the series.
=== Lyra ===
A magic user and member of Astra's guard, first appearing in A Storm arc. A somewhat shy and anxious character, with a crush on Markus. One of the few Alm with magic, with magic also being of little use to the peace driven Alm. Can summon some form of lightning. Works in stealth operations.
=== Aquillia ===
A member of Astra's guard, and acts as Gregor's lieutenant, as a fellow pole arm user, during A Storm arc.
=== Drago ===
