## Profile

### Background

Albina is the only child of the Villalobos family, one of the oldest European mage families, and potentially the oldest Spanish mage family. The family is infamous for their questionable morality even among mages and their history has mostly been kept shrouded in mystery, though one thing is well-known: Ever since the Spanish Inquisition, the Villalobos family has turned out extremely powerful mages with a knack for decimating other mages.

She was born in Las Palmas, but raised in the city of Oviedo-Gijón-Avilés on the border of Portugal and Spain with her uncle, who by the time of her birth was working as a renowned doctor. Being a well-off family already, with the addition of the high pay of her uncle’s job, Albina was privately tutored by only the best in Spain, proving to be a quick study even early on. However, concerns also began to be raised early on about the young girl’s personality due to a lack of interest in having interactions with other people and inability to express emotion.

At 15, Albina’s uncle passed away from what Albina claims was illness. However, rumors both at home and among her Clock Tower peers say that she poisoned him to become the Villalobos head since she had since gained the full Magic Crest of the family. She had her tutoring ended after the death of her uncle, finding the continued academics pointless for the moment in favor of diving deeper now into her magecraft.

At 17 she enrolled at the Clock Tower, distinguishing herself both due to her abilities and the mystery surrounding her family and her past as a whole. She seemed to befriend Cléa Bélanger, appearing to take the French woman under her wing. A year later, she was invited to join the Clock Tower’s Lore faculty, and soon enough pressured her underling into joining her. With the secrecy of the Lore faculty, the intrigue around Albina only grew, especially when Albina left the Clock Tower.

Although Albina returned a few years later, rumors continued to brew that her time away from the Clock Tower was investigating some unknown find, even despite the proof of her simply having left to attend med school. She immediately returned to her work in the Lore department, locking herself away from the world in favor of her work. However, one thing finally brought the White Wolf of Spain back into the limelight.

After the Fuyuki Incident, Albina and her partner were approached by the Clock Tower’s head. Albina barely let them finish before accepting the offered task - band together a team to investigate and correct the Fuyuki Incident.

In spite of heavy casualties, the mission was ultimately a success with Albina, Cléa, and Villads Eliasen returning alive under the presumption that the Fuyuki Grail had once again been deactivated. However, the Grail once again activated less than a year later, spewing forth Black Mud. As the leader of the investigation in 2029, Albina volunteered to once again travel to Fuyuki when word reached her of the Grail's activity.

### Appearance

Albina has long, silvery-white hair and violet eyes, as well as porcelain skin. Her outfits are typically simple and monochrome, her favorite being a black trench coat and light scarf worn over a white turtleneck blouse, pleated black skirt, black tights, and simple black flats.

### Personality

Albina is most accurately described by the phrase “power-hungry sociopath.” She’s rather cold and aloof toward people, preferring to be left alone to her work, which tends to make her intimidating and unapproachable to most people. Despite this, though, she has a cunning ability to con others into helping her when she needs it most, able to quickly turn on the charm and coerce most anyone into following her leadership. She carries herself with an air of pride and utmost authority, expecting her commands to be obeyed absolutely, even if the order given is morally questionable or outright wrong.

Despite this ability to bring others together to work as a team, Albina doesn’t - or rather, lacks the ability to - view them as fellow humans and friends. Even Cléa, who she seems to be closest to, is considered disposable to her, but Albina considers her valuable due to her power and how easy the sheltered and antisocial woman is to manipulate to her whims. Other people are viewed similarly, only valued based on how useful they are as a stepping stone for her to gain more power, and she feels no moral obligation to ensure their safety, something clearly shown by her willingness and lack of hesitation in inviting the fragile-healthed, young, inexperienced Melva Laurent to join the investigation team. She also seems to lack a sense of self-preservation as well, often taking on tasks that place her in the midst of danger.

## Role

### Fate/Lex Talionis

Albina was selected to lead a team of elite mages from the Clock Tower after the discovery of Fuyuki's disappearance. She selected a set of mages from across the Clock Tower's various faculties - Astrology's upcoming star Nunzio Ambrosi, Lore's Cléa Belanger and prodigy Villads Eliasen, Botany's Selby Yates, Zoology's Zelena Felinus, and Spiritual Evocation's promising newcomer Melva Laurent.

### Fate/Maelstrom

With the Fuyuki Grail once again becoming active, less than a year after the Fuyuki Incident of 2029, word quickly reached Albina through accusations that her team had failed to properly resolve the incident. Spurred on by the accusations and hearing that the Clock Tower had opted to send Waver Velvet to investigate this new incident, she directly approached the Clock Tower's head. Receiving permission to once again travel to Fuyuki and investigate the happenings, Albina packed quickly and left London the next day.

## Abilities

### Magecraft

#### Necromancy

A practice born through the manipulation of corpses. Performing feats like raising simple zombies or giving birth to cobbled monsters, they are magi who reside over death. Albina is extremely capable in the art of necromancy, both capable of raising corpses to use as familiars as well as using individual body parts as mana-infused weaponry. Furthermore, she is able to create dolls that, should she die, she would be able to transfer her consciousness into, albeit losing her memories of the entire day leading up to her death.

### Origin

#### Inquisition

Albina’s Origin, Inquisition, grants Albina the ability to directly counter and “kill” enemy spells. While usually this is only used to nullify enemy magecraft, there is a darker purpose behind it. This Origin’s true intent is to allow Albina to attack the Magic Circuits of other beings and at minimum seal them. At worst, she could outright destroy them.

### Sorcery Trait

#### Heart of Wolves

The Sorcery Trait of the Villalobos family. By using this, Albina is able to link herself with any canid creature, opening up a path of communication, granting her control of them, and in some cases even allowing her to temporarily merge her consciousness with theirs to view things from the creature’s perspective.

### Other

Albina has been said to be able to rival even the genius of Villads Eliasen and is a master at debate, especially regarding history and mythology. She also possesses an extraordinary knowledge of human anatomy and psychology, having briefly left the Clock Tower to study both at a Spanish college. Because of this, she could not only heal wounds through magic, but also by physical means so long as she has the tools or at least tools similar enough to the usual to provide aid ranging from simple first aid to life-saving surgery were the conditions right. While it is speculated that Albina is a woman of many other talents, much of it is kept shrouded in mystery.
