Alma Tohka was born a Miqo'te to the Raptor tribe of the Seekers of the Sun, on the 32nd sun of the Fourth Umbral Moon, 17 summers before the 7th Umbral Calamity. She spent her entire childhood in the Sagolii Desert, where her partly nomadic tribe staked their territory. She had long black hair streaked with red, and mismatched eyes, one dark green and one bright teal. Her skin was pale for a Sunseeker, since she spent most of her time indoors studying rather than out hunting with the rest of the tribe.Her tribe and family were largely hunters of great skill and renown, known for their marksmanship with a bow. R'alma, however, showed an incredible affinity for magic and spellcraft rather than martial prowess, which made her feel like an outcast in the tribe. While no one went to any lengths to make her feel unwelcome, neither was there anyone from which she could learn to wield her magicks. And so, feeling as if on some level she didn't quite belong, she dreamt of the day she would set out on her own to find her place in the world.

She put up with the feeling of not belonging for 22 years. But when her parents deemed her of appropriate age to be bonded to a Nunh — as per their tribe's very strict and traditional customs — she decided she'd had enough. R'alma had already been romantically involved with a young Tia by the name of R'bhin, and when her mother found out, the poor boy was strategically cut off and R'alma's social engagements severely restricted.The idea of then being forcibly bonded to a man she didn't know and didn't love was distasteful to her. She yearned for freedom to wander the world, to learn more about the spellcraft she took to so easily. And so she left home, without so much as a word to her parents.
