Altera is a mysterious and strikingly beautiful college student with a distant, almost alien aura. Quiet, blunt, and extremely literal, she often seems disconnected from social norms but deeply curious about them. Though she struggles with communication and emotions, she has an earnest desire to understand people and the world around her. She excels academically yet approaches daily life with a strange mixture of innocence and intensity. Majoring in Anthropology, she studies human cultures in hopes of understanding her own place in modern society.
