DEF 573 About Alf
"The most important job of a maid is to protect her employer!" A speckless home, a speckless soul. Although Alf is quite clumsy in all manner of mundane household chores, she is surprisingly dependable during fights. Alf usually confronts enemies with her shotgun; activating the Reactor on her back converts the shotgun into a flamethrower, spewing fires that reduce enemies into cinders. Maid No. 49 of the Maid Institute, Society, and Services (MISS), she learned of the Detective's kind nature and chose to stick around, carrying only two weapons: a flamethrower, and a bulletproof innocent heart. 'NO WEAPONS in the kitchen.' A memo from the Detective, posted on the fridge door.
In the Dichotomy Beta story, Alf is the first assistant candidate Lorin brings to the Detective, and she fails every test: she cannot spell, has no idea how to brew tea, and her smooth, uncalloused hands and brand-new reactor mark her as a stranger to hard work. Undeterred by the rejection, she simply refuses to leave and appoints herself guardian of the reopened office.
That stubbornness pays off. When the journalist Grimm sneaks in, Alf thrashes him and throws him out, unknowingly protecting the notebook he had come to hide, evidence that later cracks the Cinderellas case wide open. The rest of her showcase is comedy and heart: salty tea from mixing up the salt and sugar, self-taught baking timed by waiting for the 'boom', a staring contest won against a crow, and pocket money quietly saved to buy the Detective a gift.
- Personality
- Clumsy maid with terrible housekeeping skills but surprisingly dependable in fights. To her, everything under the sun is a brand-new wonder.
- Appearance
- Salmon pink hair and teal eyes with light pink pupils. Wears short black maid skirt and black sleeves with white details. Heart-shaped watch on hip. Cat paw motif belts with shotgun bullets. Four-leaf clovers throughout design.
- Birthday
- Alf has no idea
- Likes
- All things dairy, marbles, curling up in the corner of the sofa, sitting in high places, cats, and going on business trips with Master
- Dislikes
- Dislikes literacy practice, math, and breakable objects
- Skills
- Shooting, flamethrower maintenance
In-game profile
Maid No. 49 of MISS, as she introduced herself; a clueless yet determined girl.
Despite being surprisingly reliable in the heat of battle, she is unfortunately blessed with zero common sense, the inability to read the room, and terrible housekeeping skills. You'd do well to keep her out of the kitchen.

Intel
- Cats
- Is friends with many cats.
- Further Information: I
- Often learns new words in books, and rushes to force them into conversation.
- Further Information: II
- Masters practical skills with impressive speed. Whether it's from an innate talent, or the mere fact she fails repeatedly yet stubbornly until she learns, isn't quite clear.

Alf Trust and Gifts
The gifts Alf prefers, what each Trust level costs, and what it pays out.
Alf prefers Bunny Milk Sweets, Silverium Terrarium and Automaton Cat Doll. Each one is worth 100 Trust EXP, so 8 of them cover the 780 Trust EXP between Lv.1 and Lv.5. The Gift Shop charges a flat 10,000 Ounce per gift, which puts a maxed Trust level at 80,000 Ounce.
Preferred gifts
Bunny Milk Sweets
+100 Trust EXP
Its packaging features a big-eared bunny with an exaggerated grin. Tastes even sweeter than you'd expect.
One's delicious, but one is never enough. Irresistible to any child.
Silverium Terrarium
+100 Trust EXP
A small terrarium that houses Silverium beings. It's said one can even glimpse them fading into inactivity, returning to the Argent Strand.
These sold fast upon release, a desirable item for Silverium enthusiasts.
Automaton Cat Doll
+100 Trust EXP
An autonomous cat-shaped mechanical companion, that longs only to remain by its master's side.
It simulates a cat's comforting warmth and even emits soft mews, making it, for some cat lovers, more ideal than a living cat.
