The woman who bought Blight from Yarwin when he was a child. She was drawn to him because of how cute and small he was and, in general, just had a thing for things being small and needing to be taken care of. Her treatment of Blight was similar to that of a puppy--she doted on him and pet his head and let him sleep on the end of her bed or cuddle up with her under the covers on cold nights (not in a gross way, she'd never do that to a puppy). However, he was a puppy with opposable thumbs who lived on her ship, so he was also expected to work and follow commands at the snap of her fingers. Not doing so would earn him a beating. Nothing that could permanently scar him--she wanted him to continue being cute--but putting him in chains, starving him, forcing him to sleep outside in the cold or a storm, and dunking his head under water for longer than necessary were all fair game. Getting backhanded also doesn't tend to leave scars. The only permanent mark she gave him (aside from the eventual scars the manacles made around his wrists) was her emblem. She branded it into his arm after one of his final escape attempts. Unbeknownst to him, Alda had also laced his food with special tonics and herbs over the years to keep him small and delay his puberty. She never wanted him to grow, she wanted him small and sweet forever. Nevermind the piracy and murder she exposed him to, nor the partners she brought to her bed while he was left chained to the end of that same bed and meant to sleep on the floor during her "nocturnal activities"--because THAT'S not sick and twisted or anything. Alda would, however, immediately slaughter anyone who asked to borrow Blight specifically for similar "activities," because wHO DOES THAT TO AN ANIMAL?!?! So she had that going for her.

Hedonistic, self-centered, and decadent. She was motivated entirely by her desires. If she wanted a monkey, she’d have that monkey. If she wanted a coat, she’d have that coat. If she wanted a man, she’d have that man. Fuck everyone else. As long as she kept her crew well-paid, she could have and do whatever or whoever she wanted.

Blight has no idea where she came from or what her history was. He also didn’t actually see her die, so he’s not 100% confident she’s dead.
