Alma Thompson

### Specialties

None in particular as of yet. She is only beginning to unravel what it means to alter Space itself.

## Personality

#### Plain Jane

Alma comes off as a regular girl who seemingly tries to get along with everyone as best as she can. That's not to say she's wholly altruistic, because Alma still gets irritated by Taesong's standoffish attitude, still gets suspicious over people who refuse to name themselves upon introduction, and still gets intimidated by people who speak of world conquest when all she's talking about is Math.

She's also quite the joker to people she's comfortable around with or people who do not really bother with formalities.

In a sense, one could say that Alma is quite shallow, since she doesn't really pry too hard into the business of others, especially when they would seem uneasy about it. This is seen in her interactions with Meloa Ruicott, where Alma does not really prod her further regarding Auclair (the Guild Meloa belongs to) and its association to Alchemy, as well as the concern that Meloa has for her secrecy towards that fact.

#### Stout Backbone

Growing up in a farming village has imparted a rather hardy, assertive attitude on Alma. When buying things at a shop or a market, Alma is very likely to bargain till she gets the best prices at a nice cut.

When confronted by the hamadryads regarding Lamont and Aelia's apple theft during their foray into Labyrinth Block 001.1, she stood up against the hamadryads' accusations by arguing that they did nothing to warn the students before they took the apples, and that there was nothing suggesting that it was property of anything or anyone.

She also takes it upon herself to start a little potato farm at the back of the Girls' Dormitory because of the way food in the dining hall was being compromised during Event 001, and generally does not depend on others in the College even if they may have better solutions to a problem.

This is not to say that she faces every challenge with enthusiasm, but more rather, she feels the need to be prepared for foreseeable challenges that come her way. A very traditional, conservative mindset.

## History

Born a few years after the Great War, Alma was raised in a period of recovery that brought some great hardships to the rural villages of England, but due to her Grandmother's leadership, it was for the most part, rather smooth sailing.

It was early in 1965 when Alma first met Freisse, the girl having led a rather normal life up until then, and initially their meeting had been nothing but a simple exchange of greetings and shallow back-and-forths, mostly (or completely) from Alma.

Fate would have it that her village be attacked by a monster at the time, and was quite unprepared to deal with the threat. So in a moment of desperation, she entered a pact with Freisse, who thoroughly warned her about the circumstances that would ensue from the creation of the pact, but back then she only had the preservation of the village in her mind.

This led to her Grandmother recommending that she go to a College that would best deal with her new pact, as well as Freisse, and this resulted in Alma's eventual arrival at Concordia College.

## Cookbook

Up till now, these are the things she has cooked while in the College:

1. Apple Compote
2. Fried Apple Fries
3. Apple Pie
4. Pumpkin Soup
5. Apple Compote Tea
6. Salted Walnut Cookies
7. ~~Youngjin's Roasted Ego~~

And these are the things she will probably try to make in the future:

1. Croustillons
2. Stroopwafels

## Miscellaneous

1. Currently has a small farm at the back of the Girls' Dormitory, though there only is Potato growing there so far.
2. Was given a purple-gold ribbon from Meloa Ruicott for Christmas, which she treasures.
3. Was given a white qipao with blue flowers from Rabbit during the Chinese New Year of 1966. She thinks it's a pretty dress, but also one that accentuates her curves a little more than she likes.
4. Was given a hairpin with white adornments from Jiang Wenyan during the Chinese New Year of 1966. She thinks it's a pretty hairpin, and fully intends on wearing it for him to see... once she gets over stressing about what he would think about it.
5. Shares a Dyadic Locket with Meloa Ruicott, as a testament to the friendship that they share.
