Daily Dose 4

I accidentally broke my computer so I missed a lot of daily doses.  This one will be about the second most main character, Albea!

Albea has strawberry blonde hair, she's 17 when the story starts and 19 when it ends.  Her name is said, "Al-bee" but it depends upon the person saying it, some might say, "Al-bay" so either or.  I don't want it associated with "bea" though that people use as pet names, that would be terrible and I might torch the name.  Overall I think it suits her though.

Her back story is cliche in a sense.  At a young age her parents were poor and needed some money and sold her to a local lord for payment. You would think they'd do anything to protect their daughter but her parents weren't the most decent people.  They had a child at a young age they couldn't take care of and decided to make money off it so they took it.  Her parents are never spoke of or seen again, she doesn't even remember their faces.  Albea does consider herself to be an orphan even though both her parents live, but they're 'dead' to her for what they did.

The lord she was sold to obviously was more pedophile-esque but he didn't creep on her until her younger teens.  She couldn't stand him or how he touched her so she ran away at 15.  She moved into an abandoned building in the city of Lars(the city she was born in) and began to meet other poor orphans and abandoned kids.  It didn't take her long to become motherly to them, denied of what was given to her she tried to provide to others growing up but she still treats them all as siblings. At the age of meeting Sync she has over 20 'siblings' in the slums.

In order to eat and help others eat she tried to find work but the only available options were prostitution and thievery.  Disgusted by the first option she worked on attempting to steal and often tried to mislead men.  The whole 'flirt with them until drunk and steal Marks(money) when they sleep' routine.  Eventually her skills worked up to avoid that dangerous work and just rob wish unknown ease but men still took a fancy to her.  She's not the strongest so men took advantage at times, it helped build the ability to sneak by others though.

Having a harder life for her changed a lot of how she sees the world.  She doesn't particularly agree with authority since all she has known from them in corruption but she doesn't hate them. She does try to protect others though, which sparks her desire to stick with Sync and change his mind about killing after seeing what he does to Trulent.

She grows a lot as a person but some of her also stays the same in the story, by the end she's an entirely different person.  I want to say she actually becomes a worse person at the end, but that's up to each person's interpretation.

She looks like in the picture except no hat or metal boots(leather boots instead) and no belts. or arm braces.  Instead she has a weird arm pattern that she wears for statement. Seen in the other below image.


Overall she's a weird character, she's not exactly a fun character but she's like the conscience of the group and Sync.  The way she grows kinda displays how life grows.  Changes, really.
