Riveria Ljos Alf (リヴェリア・リヨス・アールヴ) is the daughter of Larfal Ljos Alf and the vice-captain of the Loki Familia.
Appearance[]
Riveria is tall with jade-colored hair tied in a ponytail that reaches to her waist, same color eyes, and Elf ears. She wears a green outfit with yellow borders, a white cloak over it, a black belt, a yellow sash, black leggings, and long brown boots. She is described to be exceptionally beautiful, stated to be more beautiful than a number of Goddesses.
Personality[]
Riveria has a serious personality. She is one of the few people that didn't laugh at Bell and condemned the others for laughing at him. Characteristic of her race, she is a strict mentor who constantly pressures her students to force them to improve, making them spend whole nights without sleep and not tolerating any distractions during their study sessions, training Lefiya in her studies as a mage and Ais when she was a child.
She is calm and collected during the heat of battle, dealing with unexpected events in a leader-like fashion, as shown in the event of the Loki Familia being attacked by large numbers of Virga on the 50th floor.
Despite this, Riveria is kind and understanding to others, especially her fellow Loki Familia members. She cares about them and constantly supports them to help them get stronger while also making sure they don't overexert themselves.
After the assault to Knossos she showed great attachment for the rest of the Familia members, feeling guilty for the death of the lower ranking members. Due to her gracious treatment of the young members of the Familia, Ais in particular, she earned the nickname mama from Loki.
Likewise, she is a faithful and trustworthy friend who is willing to do whatever it takes to protect those who matter to her, accepting Loki's falna in the first place just so she could protect her dear friend Aina despite her dislike towards the goddess.
Although she usually maintains a calm demeanor Riveria is extremely stern once she gets angry. She hates to be called an "old woman" as she punished a 7-year-old Ais, who called her so, by tying adamantite to her and throwing her in water, calling it "swimming training". This later became a traumatic experience for Ais.
While her seriousness is a persistent trait of hers it can be broken at times, such as when she burst out laughing when she heard that Bell ran away from Ais. However, this is a very rare occurrence, shocking Lefiya and the Hiryute sisters as it was the first time they had seen her laugh in all the years they had known her.
As an Elf, she initially had a certain superiority complex over people of other races, sharing the belief that the Pallums were inferior and feeling a natural enmity towards Gareth for being a Dwarf and his brusque manner. While this belief persisted for a time, she ultimately forged a deep bond of friendship with Finn and Gareth. Nonetheless, she still expresses some animosity against Dwarves in general.
Because she was raised isolated in her native forest, Riveria developed a sense of adventure and a great desire to explore the outside world. Her longing reached the point of daring to flee the forest even knowing what it might have entailed. Her desire persists even years after she has achieved her goal and experienced countless adventures in the dungeon, still expressing a desire to step into the unknown and make more discoveries.
Being a High Elf, and therefore part of Elven royalty, Riveria is extremely revered by other Elves, who hold her in high regard. Despite this, she has never acted conceited or taken advantage of it, even expressing annoyance at the preferential treatment she usually receives and the devotion they express. Instead, she treats them in a normal way and insists to the Elves that are close to her to treat her casually.
History[]
Riveria was born in the Alf's Royal Forest as a member of the High Elf family. She lived there for 71 years until she grew tired of her father's negative attitude toward her interest in the outside world and decided to leave. She left the forest with her childhood friend and former personal chamberlain Aina with the help of Finn and Loki.
After joining Loki's Familia, and recruiting Gareth, they traveled around the world for a few years. She ranked up along them after four years of starting their journey. At the same time, she gained her second set of magic, her defensive magic, along with her ascension to Level 2. She later acquired her third set of magic, her healing magic, after having to leave Aina behind on their journey due to her illness.
Some time later, she and the rest were taken care of by Njord before they entered Orario. Once Riveria arrived to the city, thanks to her combat ability, she grew remarkably as an adventurer under her mentors' tutelage, ranking up several times at an accelerated rate. Fifteen years ago she served as a supporter for the Zeus and Hera Familias in the battle against the Behemoth and witnessed the subjugation of the legendary beast. She reached Level 6 seven years ago after defeating the Delphyne along with Gareth, Ais and the Astraea Familia during the Great Feud.
Abilities[]
While still Level 6s, Riveria, along with Finn and Gareth, was called the strongest fighting force of the Loki Familia. Following the announcement of the three top executives' ranks up to Level 7, Loki considered that even Ottar wasn't a big deal anymore.
Powerful Mage: Riveria has a vast and advanced knowledge of magic, which in combination with her status, specialized to maximize her magical power, has earned her to be recognized as the best and most powerful mage in the world. Her skill as a rearguard mage is unmatched and her wide repertoire of magic makes her a very versatile mage.
As a Level 6, her attack power was higher than Hedin's. Bete pointed out that her spells used to last about an hour. Using one of her healing magic, she completely healed Ais after she had been left in a critical state in her battle with Udaeus. After reaching Level 7, the power, range, and effect of her magic greatly increased.
Thanks to her mind-tuning method, the Heart of the Great Tree, she is able to stay calm even if she finds herself in the middle of a heated battle. She also turned Lefiya into an expert in analyzing the flow of a battle, able to accurately predict how a combat will unfold, which in turn allows her to anticipate and prepare the right spell in advance to use it at the precise moment.
Immense Physical Prowess: As a Level 7, Riveria's physical abilities are all immeasurably superior to those of a normal person. In terms of raw physical prowess, her abilities are also exponentially superior to those of any Level 6 or below.
Immense Speed, Agility, and Reflexes: Riveria possesses blazing speed. As a Level 6, she faced a group of nearly twenty Spartois at the same time in Ais' duel with Udaeus. Likewise, she was able to keep up with the high Level 6s Finn and Gareth in a joint assault against Revis. After reaching Level 7, her speed, agility, and reflexes greatly increased.
Immense Endurance, Stamina, and Mind: Riveria possesses high physical stamina and tolerance to pain. In the battle against the Titan Alm Demi Spirit she was able to stand up again and use Rea Laevateinn even after being engulfed by the flames of the monster's Firestorm. In the Fairy Force's assault on Knossos she fought for hours before joining Finn and Gareth in a joint assault against Revis, managing to effectively fight alongside them and keep up with them despite her exhaustion.
Skilled Fighter: Despite being a mage, Riveria is able to fight efficiently in close combat, having always had more skills and tact than anyone else. She faced Revis in melee combat and easily dealt with her during their battle in Rivira. Having not only more combat experience than Ais, her knowledge of techniques and strategy make her much more powerful than her status alone indicates.
In addition to that, she is very skilled in teamwork with the other members of her familia, specially Finn and Gareth. Having fought together longer than any other team, the three exhibit superb teamwork and perfect coordination. Even though they were still Level 6s and their opponent was Level 7 in terms of power, they were able to overwhelm Revis with a torrent of continuous attacks from three different directions; Riveria worked with Finn to nip her counterattacks while Gareth made up for their lack of power with his top-tier strength.
Expert Marksman: Riveria is skilled with the bow, having learned to use it in her home forest, making multiple accurate shots in rapid succession with which she was able to push back the Demi Spirit Viola.
Genius Level Intellect: As an Elf, Riveria possesses high innate intelligence. In her discussion with Fels in Knossos she was able to undo the ancient sage's cunning plan to disrupt her group and appeal to their emotional side in order to avoid a conflict between their sides, voicing counter-arguments to which Fels was unable to respond.
- Expert Commander: Riveria is a very good commander that can quickly analyze the situation and elaborate an effective plan of action, as well as skillfully coordinate a group when she is left in charge. She has shown that she can take full control of an expedition group from her Familia should the need arise, and Finn has blind confidence in her leadership abilities.
Enhanced Senses: As an Elf, Riveria had a very good eyesight. After acquiring her falna all of her senses became much sharper than those of a normal person, with her eyesight still being particularly superior to the rest. Her senses further improved with each subsequent rank up.
Hieroglyphs: As a High Elf, Riveria was taught how to read sacred text, the language of the Gods, having been able to correctly read and interpret the contents of Hashana's falna without problems.
Concurrent Chanting (並行詠唱): A high-level technique involving casting magic while fighting or moving around. Its difficulty is likened to dealing with a bomb with both hands while fighting due to the chance of failing a chant or not being able to control their own magic power. Skill at using concurrent chanting depends on how much experience the user has with it. Riveria is quite skilled, as Ryuu is the only person Lefiya knows whose mastery surpasses hers.
Horseback Chanting (馬上詠唱): A technique used by the Elven knights in Alf's Royal Forest. They leave tracking and evading up to their horses while they chant, making it similar to concurrent chanting.
Magic[]
Chant Connection (詠唱連結): A technique that only Riveria is able to use. Chant connection enables her to change the strength of her magic based on the chant length and mind usage. Through this, she is able to use nine magics, which is the source of her alias Nine Hell, though she is able to use them separately as well. Her magic is separated into three groups of three magic based on the type and chant length, with each magic in a group referred to as a level, such as Wynn Fimbulvetr being the first level of Vas Windheim.
- Attack Magic:
- Wynn Fimbulvetr (ウィン・フィンブルヴェトル): Wynn Fimbulvetr blasts the opponent with an extremely cold blizzard and is said to freeze time as well as the enemy.
- Rea Laevateinn (レア・ラーヴァテイン): Rea Laevateinn is a wide area annihilation magic. When using it, Riveria can discern if a person or a monster is within her magic circle, serving as a kind of radar. However, the effect is limited to working only in a horizontal line, so she cannot locate anything below it. It can instantly distinguish allies from enemies in a large deployment, and attacks the enemies only.
- Vas Windheim (ヴァース・ヴィンドヘイム): Vas Windheim is an extra large super long chant magic that can overturn a difference in levels. When Riveria used it as a high Level 5 it destroyed the wings and armor-like scales, and exposed the core of Delphyne, a Level 6 to 7 black monster which had proven impervious to all of her and a high Level 5 Gareth's attacks.
- Defense Magic:
- Liv Ilusio (リヴ・イルシオ)
- Veil Breath (ヴェール・ブレス): Veil Breath raises the target's resistance against physical and magical attacks and also heals the target slightly.
- Via Shilheim (ヴィア・シルヘイム): Via Shilheim creates a barrier that completely blocks physical and magical attacks.
- Healing Magic:
- Fil Eldis (フィル・エルディス)
- Luna Aldis (ルナ・アルディス)
- Van Alheim (ヴァン・アルヘイム)
Flare Burn (フレア・バーン): Magic developed by the Elves for use without a falna. It requires the user to undergo training and rituals and use a long chant systematized during ancient times. It has more than twelve verses to its chant, and its power is weak compared to magic used by those with a falna.

Development Abilities[]
Mage (魔導): Mage improves the power of Riveria's magic, widens effect range, and makes mind usage efficient. It also creates a jade-colored magic circle under Riveria when she uses magic. The ability grants her a magic stat equivalent to that of a Level 8.
Treatment (治療)
Abnormal Resistance (耐異常): Abnormal Resistance negates the effect of abnormalities such as poison. Riveria has reached rank G, so almost nothing can affect her, even the strongest poisons in high doses.
Spirit Healing (精癒): Spirit Healing automatically begins regenerating Riveria's mind at a low rate after using magic. It is a rare ability, with Riveria, Hedin, and Ais being the only adventurers so far that have it.
Magic Resistance (魔防)
Equipment[]
Current[]
Magna Alfs (マグナ・アルヴス): Magna Alfs is Riveria's silvery white staff made from mithril and holydite that is hard enough that it can also be used as a weapon. Made by Altena after Loki ordered for it to be created, it is a first class mage weapon of very fine quality, enough to be considered one of the five best staves in the entire world. Nine magic treasure stones are embedded at the head.
Fairy King's Holy Robe (妖精王の聖衣): Fairy King's Holy Robe is a robe that contains the fibers of the sacred royal tree in the High Elf Forest, making it highly resistant to magic. The base of the robe is a dress that Riveria was wearing when she left the High Elf Forest. She originally tried to give it to Aina, but it eventually turned into a piece of first class armor.
Former[]
Sacred Royal Tree's Wand (聖王樹の杖): A wand made in Alf's Royal Forest exclusively for High Elves. Canaan mined in the Royal Forest was embedded instead of magical gems. It is essentially a piece of equipment unique to Riveria and greatly amplifies the effects of High Elf magic, especially congenital magic. Although its capacity is incomparable to that of the Labyrinth City's first-class weapons, it is believed to be traded for hundreds of millions of valis among dilettantes due to its value as an antique. However, there is always the risk that Elves who worship High Elves will target their wands and lives.
