Alondra, the fiery commander of the Guerrilla, has the makings of a natural leader:
She is captivating, people can’t seem to look or stay away.
But it’s not only that she's quite attractive—she is—it’s that she possesses that x-factor that makes her mesmerizing.
She is also incredibly self-assured, and over-confident to a fault.
And she is obsessively driven by her ultimate goal of killing Lencho and taking his place at the helm of Fortuna Island.
She may or may not be fully equipped to tackle this, but the good thing is she doesn’t seem to know it or care, so it doesn’t stop her from going all "try or die" here.
She has such a deep love for herself, her image, her poetry, that it borders (and treads) on narcissism.
She truly believes she is a poet—a magnificent one at that—and like many artists and wannabe artists, she lacks the awareness to censor herself and her literary shortcomings.
Not only is she sure of being a fantastic poet, she also fashions herself an unbreakable warrior, and hence dubs herself the “Warrior Poet.”
Her passion for fighting comes both from a sense of duty, and from the romanticized ideals of revolution.
She loves how it feels to rebel, to lead an insurgency, to confrront and fight. But mostly, she loves how it all looks from the outside:
Uniformed revolutionaries deep in the jungle, fighting the good fight against a bloodlust tyrant.
She cares about the optics, and how they may lead to her overthrow of Lencho.
She is generally unafraid of consequences.
She grossly overestimates her chance of survival, and more so, of coming out victorious.
But she is a believer who doesn’t flinch--which more often than not, is the marking of legendary heroes.
