Background

Alya had not returned to her distant home for many years before meeting Gauss. She later reveals that her family descended from a long-degenerated branch of Elves. Because her own Elf bloodline was especially thin, she was sent away to be raised by others while still young. 158 345

She became a Druid and Adventurer roughly one to two years before the labyrinth expedition period. Though she considered herself slower than Gauss at learning spells, her ability to master multiple Druidic arts, maintain a wolf contract, and develop further magic marked her as unusually talented for a Level 1 nature spellcaster. 128 185

Appearance

Before her bloodline awakening, Alya had long light-blue hair, gentle but defined features, and a fit, wilderness-honed build. Her calm, natural demeanor was balanced by the resilience of an active Adventurer. 122

Following her transformation into a Moon Phase Walker, her ears become more pointed, her complexion and features grow increasingly refined, and her appearance steadily approaches that of a pure-blooded Elf. Her blue hair and eyes gradually fade toward silver-gray with a faint blue halo; by Level 6, her hair is silver-white like moonlight. 345 412 433

• Clear blue eyes, later taking on a silver-gray cast. 345 412
• Long, increasingly pointed Elven ears. 345
• Slender, long-limbed, graceful build. 412
• Often carries an Oak Staff for spellcasting and close-range defense. 141

Personality

Alya is conscientious and cautious in the field. She prepares protective clothing even when Gauss can shield her, reasoning that combat can become too chaotic for a teammate to protect her at every moment. She also repeatedly checks supplies before dangerous labyrinth expeditions. 115 196

She has a deep affinity for living things. Alya tends plants, treats injured animals, takes responsibility for orphaned chicks brought home by Ike, and uses Animal Talk to understand creatures rather than treating them as mere tools. 122 221

Although initially self-conscious about her spell-learning speed, Alya remains diligent and receptive to guidance. Her confidence and independence grow over time: she chooses her own sites for cultivation, withstands danger rather than abandoning allies, and fights fiercely when threatened. 128 181 336 339

Abilities & Skills

Druidic Nature Magic

Alya channels Nature's Power for control, detection, and support.

• Can sense corruption, pollution, and abnormal mental intrusion through natural energy. 122
• Uses Entangling Spell to bind enemies, halt fleeing monsters, and create openings for allies. 141 154
• Can remotely control Entangling Spell with enough precision to support coordinated attacks. 154
• Her vines can help locate an enemy's core, as demonstrated against the Mud Statue. 168
• Uses an Oak Staff in close combat when restrained enemies or weaker monsters must be finished off. 141

Animal Talk

Alya communicates with animals and uses their knowledge for reconnaissance and care.

• Learned information on local dangers from wolves, including a goblin tribe's capture and enslavement of wild animals. 239
• Communicated with a wounded cat before treating and bandaging it. 122
• Can communicate directly with Raven Ike during scouting operations. 138

Divine Berry Art

A 1st Ring Divine Art that creates berries infused with natural Mana.

• Offers a slight healing effect. 122
• Was difficult for Alya to master, but she eventually succeeded before contracting Raven Ike. 136

Divine Guidance

A non-combat support cantrip that blesses herself or another target.

• Helps with exploration, trap detection, negotiations, climbing, jumps, rune interpretation, memory recall, and similar tasks. 162
• Its effect is weak and unsuitable for intense combat. 162

Wilderness Form

A Level 2 ability allowing Alya to transform into animals she has previously observed.

• Can become creatures such as wolves, dogs, horses, birds, fish, or pangolins. 196
• Her preferred form is a roughly one-meter-long silver wolf, as wolves are the animals she knows best. 196
• Current forms are less powerful than Ulfhen and prevent her from casting spells while transformed. 196
• Her available forms can become stronger as her Profession level rises. 196

Attribute Enhancement

A buff spell that bestows animal-themed attribute enhancements on allies.

• Bear enhances Constitution.
• Cat enhances Agility.
• Bull enhances Strength.
• Hawk/Eagle enhances Charisma.
• Fox enhances Intelligence.

• Cannot be cast on Alya herself or on her Animal Companions. 271
• She has used Fox enhancement to improve Gauss's Intelligence and facilitate his spellcasting. 277

Moonlight

A Level 2 offensive skill acquired to improve her self-defense.

• Produces a beam of moonlight that continuously damages enemies within its path. 313
• Becomes exceptionally powerful when used under moonlight, as seen with Moonlight Bloom. 359

Moon Phase Walker

Alya's advanced profession, gained through a ritual guided by the Moon Goddess.

• Awakens and progressively purifies her dormant Elf bloodline. 345 433
• Strengthens her affinity with moonlight, plants, and natural energy. 345
• Her Level 4 combat strength is considered greater than that of most Level 5 spellcasters, and can surpass Level 6 thresholds under Gauss's leadership enhancement. 379

Moonlight Vines

A 3rd Ring spell granted by the Moon Goddess after Alya repeatedly transplanted Magic Plants into her dreamscape.

• Creates three to five moonlit vines around Alya. 388
• Vines can be manually controlled or attack on their own. 388
• Functions as both a close-range offensive spell and a limited mobility tool. 388
• The vines are powerful enough that a direct hit would likely kill an ordinary creature. 388

Blessing of Blossoms

A 3rd Ring defensive and restorative spell, also referred to as Thousand Blossom Aegis in its demonstrated form.

• Forms swirling petal shields around the target. 388
• Shields defend against external attacks and heal the wearer when shattered. 388
• Can merge into an Animal Companion's body to enhance its combat power. 388

Companions

• Ulfhen — Alya's contracted gray wolf and primary beast companion. It serves as a mount, scout, and close-range combatant; later described as a Silver Wolf with combat power comparable to a Level 5 Demonic Beast. 115 196 446
• Raven Ike — A raven contracted after Alya mastered Divine Berry Art. Ike provides aerial reconnaissance, can fight with powerful beak and talons, and can command lesser ravens for scouting and combat. 136 446
• Scale Powder Butterfly — A magical contract creature acquired after an Arena reward. Its scale powder provides brief optical camouflage, purifies negative effects, enhances healing, and promotes plant growth. 205

Equipment & Items

• Ike's dark-blue protective shawl — Provides cleaning and strengthening effects while serving as Ike's perch. 162
• Root-sensing shovel — A gardening tool that detects the location of roots in soil. 162

Relationships

• Gauss — Her longest-standing teammate and closest partner. Their temporary Ratkin team-up develops into deep trust, mutual training, and a lasting place in the same adventuring group. Alya relies on his judgment but is willing to stand beside him against overwhelming threats. 115 181 313
• Ulfhen — Contracted wolf companion and trusted combat partner. Alya rides him during dangerous engagements, provides him equipment, and remains deeply concerned for his safety. 162 167 334
• Raven Ike — Raven familiar used for aerial scouting. Alya communicates with Ike through Animal Talk and cares for it when it shows concern for her allies. 138 154
• Theron — Fellow teammate. They share information, train with Gauss, and support the party's growth as a group. 196 237
• Shadow — Fellow Red Dragon Group member. Alya comes to trust Shadow's protection after Shadow repeatedly rescues her from Goblin Wolf Riders and teleports her out of danger. 251
• Sif Albenna — Fellow teammate. Albenna treats Alya as a younger sister, while Alya objects good-naturedly to being called “Little Alya.” 285

Story Role

• During the Winter Hunt, she provides crowd control, scouting through Ike, and logistical preparation. Her partnership with Gauss strengthens as they survive rival Adventurers, bandits, monster strongholds, and the aftermath of the Poison Wyvern attack. 141 146 156
• In the labyrinth, Alya supports Gauss against Elite Monsters, reaches Level 2, and becomes an increasingly versatile explorer through Wilderness Form and her contracted magical butterfly. 168 196 205
• She gathers vital intelligence from forest wolves during the Black Fang Tribe operation and helps the party form an alliance with a Pixie village. 239
• Alya undergoes a dangerous, moonlit breakthrough near Flute Castle. Her successful ritual transforms her into a Moon Phase Walker, awakens her Elf bloodline, and confirms her connection to the Moon Goddess. 337 339 345
• As a member of the Red Dragon Group, she develops into one of its principal battlefield controllers. Her moonlight vines restrain enemy formations for Shadow and the group's companions to eliminate, while her divine spells provide offense, protection, recovery, and companion enhancement. 388 427

Trivia

• She is seeing the sea for the first time when the party reaches Coral Bay. 248
• Her recurring dream of planting a glowing seed in a desolate moonlit world foreshadows her Moon Goddess-guided transformation. 328 345
