Almatea Atismata

Almatea Atismata, also known as Alma Kilzrake, is a member of the company called the Kilzrake Family. She is the younger sister of Lisesharte Atismata and the niece of Raffi Atismata.

Appearance
Alma has blonde hair tied into a short ponytail and well-ordered features, resembling a youthful-looking boy. She wears a hat with a wide brim. When disguising herself, she puts on a mask, or the outfit of a construction worker (old man's clothes, a shabby hat and goggles).

Personality
Alma is initially confident in her strength, looking down on the strength of the New Kingdom's forces and the dangers of a Ruin. She even thinks that she may have surpassed the level of the Knight Squadron. As part of this confidence, she refuses to accept Lux's advice and only follows Magialca's orders. She is reckless to the point of ordering her subordinates to split up while inside a Ruin, thinking it's safe due to not encountering any Abyss. This changes after she encounters enemies too powerful for her to defeat, making her aware of her relative weakness.

Alma hates her family for (in her view) betraying her. She wants to take revenge on them by destroying the New Kingdom. On the other hand, she idolises the Black Hero for their legendary skill and for (in her view) saving her, despite not knowing their age or gender. She is temporarily distraught when she learns that Fugil (who is technically the real Black Hero) is nothing like what she imagined, but then develops a similar admiration for Lux when he shows himself to be like her ideal.

As a child, Alma was a quiet girl but nevertheless had a strong heart and pride as a noble. She was strongly attached to both her father and older sister.

Background
During the rebellion against the Old Empire, Alma's family was betrayed by her aunt Raffi, who leaked information to the Old Empire. The family's hideout was attacked, the servants massacred, and Alma herself was captured and sold off as a slave. Though she initially persisted with her pride as a noble, she heard that her sister Lisha had switched sides and joined the Old Empire. After that, she managed to accidentally escape her slavery.

Alma spent several years wandering the slums. At some point she received Baptism from an unknown person. She was picked up by the Kilzrake Family several years before the present, and joined them. She became a trusted confidant of the organisation's boss, Magialca Zen Vanfrick. Her birth and true identity were hidden from all others except for said boss.

She trained herself every day, attempting to master the technique of Quick Draw. One year ago, she could successfully perform the technique less than once in a thousand attempts. Half a year later, she had improved her success rate to one in a hundred attempts.

Ouroboros Arc
At Magialca's instruction, Alma searches various locations and quietly follows around Lux during the parade. She is almost discovered by Lux and Yoruka. With Magialca's help and her own Baptism, she realises that the parade is being repeated (using the power of Ouroboros Arc) during the third loop.

Rebellion Arc
Alma does her usual training in the underground room of an abandoned building. She rejoices as she thinks she's approaching the level of the Black Hero. She then receives a message from the boss, ordering her to contact Lux Arcadia.

Alma spies on Lux from the highest viewing platform in the capital. As the Automaton who is also spying on Lux has not noticed her, she decides that it will soon be time for negotiation.

While Lux is walking in the street, Alma accosts him. She introduces herself and orders Lux to come with her to meet her boss, revealing that she knows about the repetition of the parade. She gives him a note with the location of the meeting and leaves.

Alma greet Lux when he arrives at the meeting place, in one of the city's less reputable districts. She asks if he knows about the Black Hero, but Lux claims to have only seen him briefly. Alma grumbles and brings Lux to Magialca, warning him not to try anything or she will kill him.

After the meeting, Alma speaks to Magialca. She is eager to carry out the mission (to rescue Aeril from Garden), and dismisses Magialca's concerns. She departs for Garden, taking Lux and the elite Drag-Knights of the Kilzrake Family with her.

Arriving at Garden, Alma easily breaks through the guards. They enter the Ruin, using a horn flute to keep Abyss away, and arrive at the treasure warehouse. The entire time, Lux criticises Alma's technique and advises her to be more careful, but she ignores his advice.

They find Aeril, but it turns out to be a trap and Alma is nearly killed, being saved by Lux's intervention. Someone who looks like Fugil approaches, clad in a replica of Bahamut. A shocked Alma asks if he is the Black Hero, to which Fugil replies that the Black Hero is only an illusion and he reveals his true goal. Clan Lieze, the Ruin's Automaton, arrives and calls in an army of Abyss. Realising that her idolised hero was a lie, a distraught Alma attacks Fugil recklessly but is easily defeated. Lux again comes to the rescue, wearing the true Bahamut, which confuses Alma. He tells Alma to take Aeril and flee while he holds the enemies off, and manages to land a crippling blow on Fugil's Bahamut.

However, Aeril insists that they take one more thing. Alma says there's no time but Lux agrees, staying back to handle the Abyss. Alma is terrified and does not expect Lux to win, resulting in her being shocked when he does kill the Abyss at a rapid pace. Fugil recovers and attacks them again. Lux fights back but is at the disadvantage when Fugil activates Over Limit. Alma brings Aeril to Garden's Grand Force to extract it, and asks her why Lux is fighting a hopeless battle, to which Aeril responds that he can't let anyone else lose something precious to them. Lux then manages to get the upper hand and kills Fugil, revealing him to be a copy created by Sacred Eclipse. Alma apologises to him for her previous rudeness and they leave Garden, carrying Aeril, the Grand Force and other treasures.

While safe in a Kilzrake hideout, Alma bathes together with Aeril. Lux walks in on them (at Magialca's instigation), causing him to realise that Alma is a girl and that she is actually Almatea Atismata. He asks Alma to talk to him immediately about herself, but Aeril chases him out of the bathroom.

While in the New Kingdom, A warrant to annihilate Kilzrake Family along with her is out. She becomes a fugitive who stole the Grand Force and kidnapped Aeril.

Abilities
Alma has the skill to pilot an EX Drake at the young age of fourteen, and to use the Drag-Knight secret art Quick Draw. She can also use an EX Wyvern. However, she is far from the level of top Drag-Knights like Lux and Fugil.

Quick Draw: By executing body control operation and mind control operation simultaneously, Alma can slash faster than the eye can see. Alma can only pull this off about one in ten attempts. Moreover, the speed of her Quick Draw is inferior to the likes of Fugil's.
