Luminous Rider Altena

Here’s Altena, Princess of Thracia! She possesses the ability to wield the Gáe Bolg, which is a sure sign that her past is a little complicated.
Altena’s true parents are Quan, Prince of Leonster, and Ethlyn of Chalphy. They took Altena with them on a mission to aid Sigurd when she was very young, and sadly, they both died in an attack.
It was King Travant of Thracia who led the ambush in which Altena’s parents perished. Altena’s fate then took another strange turn when Travant took an interest in her and raised her as his own daughter!
Knowing nothing about her origins, Altena grew up to be a proud wyvern rider. But what path will she choose when she finds out the truth about what happened all those years ago?
