### Best Friends Forever After

CJ Hook, River Alvarez

**Almira Valentina Alvarez** [*she/her*] is the 16-year-old successor of **Mr. Smee** from the British fairy tale *Peter and Wendy* written by J.M. Barrie.

At the time of the **Rebel Movement**, Almira is attending her **Legacy Year**, but currently does not room with anyone. For reasons unknown, Almira sides with the **Royals**, however, she does agree that people should be able to pick their own destiny and do what they want.

## History

### *Before Attending Ever After High*

#### **Childhood & Preadolescence**

Born in Barcelona Spain, Almira was the second child born to Gregorio and Malina Alvarez, the twin sister of Rivera, and the older sister of Bolivar, Catalina, Diego, and Marcelino.

Growing up, Almira had a pretty standard childhood. When she was about ten, she started seeing Rivera acting odd, and though she wanted to help her twin, she also knew she needed to let them figure it out. It wasn't until a year later that she learned that Rivera was struggling with their gender. At the age of thirteen, River came out as transgender, identifying as a male. Almira quickly began using the correct pronouns for her new brother, and helped him with everything and anything they needed.

A few days before her and River's 14th birthday, they both received their Acceptance Letters for *Ever After High*. The Alvarez family then learned that River had been chosen to be the successor of *Peter Pan*, the Boy Who Never Grew Up, following Parker Pan not having a child to succeed him. They also learned that Almira was to take over as the new Mr. Smee, or as she called it, *Mrs. Smee*.

## Characteristics

### Physical Appearance

While River takes after their mother, Almira takes after their father. She has long, dark reddish-colored hair, which she keeps tied into a bun, with amber-gold eyes. Almira tends to wear pirate-themed clothing in the colors of burgundy, gold, and brown.
