Glenys Alna Lalatoya

Glenys Alna Lalatoya (グレニス・アルナ・ララトイア, Gurenisu Aruna Raratoia), is a recurring character in the "Skeleton Knight in Another World" series.

Appearance
A dark elf with amethyst-colored skin and white hair tied back in braids. She wears a simple dress, like one might find on a commoner. Her likeness is shared by her two daughters, both in face and in body. She is shown to be well-endowed and curvaceous much like the others of her race. As with all elves like her, she retains a youthful countenance that belies her age.

Personality
At first Glenys seems to be a carefree, kind and loving housewife but behind the first appearance hides a fierce warrior being able to give Arc, Chiyome and Ariane (all together) a run for their money. She is the one who also trained Eevin (the best warrior of Maple). Glenys is compassionate and unlike her fellows people does not discriminate against humans. She is comprehensive and doesn't mind Arc's curse and welcome him in her village. Glenys is also playful and can prove herself quite manipulative like when she teases her daughter about Arc, the latter is a victim too when he accepts to bear the name of Lalatoya in exchange for transportation to the south continent to collect for tomatoes). Beside being a skilled warrior, Glenys is a very good cook.

Background
Prior to settling in married life with Dillan, Glenys was an accomplished swordswoman.

Light Novel Volume 02
Glenys and her husband Dillan were formally introduced to the knight that their daughter brought from Diento. She became privy to Arc's skeletal condition and agreed to keep it discrete while the knight stayed in their home in Lalatoya. The next day when Ariane and Dillan were away at Maple to give their report on the events at Diento, Glenys chaperoned Arc around Lalatoya and later offered Arc a chance to spar with her. The female elf easily bested Arc through skill. Though Arc was lacking technique Glenys offered to teach him to handle a sword properly.

Abilities & Powers
Glenys shows herself as the best warrior so far. She is the daughter of Fangas Flan Maple one of the elders of Maple. She uses most of her time sword training and can beat Arc to a pulp with ease despite him using his skills and magic. Later she trained Arc, Chiyome and Ariane together, beating them and giving them advises. Glenys is a well balanced warrior, combining speed, strength and tactics. She is able to slip behind Arc and knock him down.

Her skills are displayed when Lalatoya came to the rescue of the village of Doran. She held an entire flank of the battlefield by herself (with Arc's teleportation) and crushed all the monsters.

Dillan Tahg Lalatoya
Her husband, they live a happy wedding which lasted for at least a century (we know Ariane, their youngest daughter, is 50 years old). Glenys adores her husband but finds that he is always en route to somewhere since Arc's arrival to Lalatoya and wished her husband could stay and rest a bit sometime.

Ariane
Her youngest daughter, Glenys trained Ariane to become a fierce warrior since young age. She likes her daughter but remarks Ariane tends to take Eevin's bad habits in fight particularly in her kicking which Glenys judges to be "ill mannered". Glenys takes great pride to cook for Ariane and her family who generally devours her meal and asks second. Glenys is a very harsh trainer and Ariane is terrified of that.

Eevin Glenys Maple
Her oldest daughter. Not much is known about their relationship as they didn't interact often through the story but we know Glenys trained Eevin who become the very best fighter in Canada great forest.

Arc
She takes an interest in the wandering mercenary who was employed by her daughter. Arc does not discriminate against elves and above all, he was able to tame a spirit animal (that is considered a rare occurrence, even for an elf). She is very grateful to Arc for keeping an eye on her daughter during her dangerous missions in the human kingdoms. She tests him in a fight and often trained him while he is in Lalatoya. Until volume 4 she declares Arc as a permanent guest in her house at the condition he brings Ponta along (the spirit animal is very popular with children and women). After the lifting curse spring's adventure, she finds out Arc is an elf (even through an odd one with his brown skin, black hair, and red eyes) and right away she invites him to bear the Lalatoya's name. Despite her daughter's complaint she succeeds in attracting Arc for a safe passage to southern continent so he can collect ingredients as Glenys has taken a great interest in Arc's cooking.

Ponta
Like all elven women, she finds Ponta very cute.

Chiyome
They meet when Arc teleport the party from the east Revlon empire ("the Hydra's accident"), at first Chiyome is very embarrassed to intrude herself in Lalatoya until Glenys assures her it was nothing but asks Arc to be more careful in the future. Through the story Glenys develops a deep bond with the ninja who is a close friend to her daughter to the point Chiyome is considered a permanent guest in Lalatoya and is often invited for meal and night stay.
