Amalthea



Almathea (アルマテイア Almathea) is the she-goat who raised Zeus in the Greek Mythology. She was revived from her 200 year sleep and now serves Asuka as her Gift.

Appearance
A golden she goat that is quite large. When imbued with Divinity, an electric crackle can be seen surrounding her body.

Personality
Almathea is someone who acknowledges great acts and respects those willing to make the tough choices. Originally she did not think much of her new master Asuka, but the girl changed her mind and has since had respect for her. While not tactless she is blunt in her speech and will say what needs to be said. And hence it wasn't surprising that she compared her current master to her adopted children and sees her as weak.

Background
According to the legends, she is the one who raised many Greek Gods, one of them being the leader of the Greek gods: Zeus. During raising him though one of her horns was broken off due to the infants strength. As a form of apology the horn was changed into the Gift Cornucopia. Somehow Almathea fell into slumber and remained until she was revived as a Gift.

Volume 6
Crafted by Will-O-Wisp and Perseus for Kudou Asuka. First crafted Gift from the Alliance's Diamond Iron Ore trade. Though she was created by the 2 Communities, it was still by chance that they had the materials such as the fleece and the Cornucopia required to create it. But it is of a much lower spirit level than the original that had Divinity.

Relationships
Sakamaki Izayoi - It is shown that Almathea really knows who is the better warrior and respects his wishes for her to evacuate the others far from the battle with Azi Dahaka.

Kudou Asuka - Almathea acts like a mentor for her. Originally she said she did not like the high class lady but her opinion changed after the fight with the two headed dragons.
