Alma Horlick

"This was meant to be my perfect day..."

- Alma Horlick

 is a minor character and Stranger featured in Red Dead Redemption. She initiates the Stranger side-mission "Let No Man Put Asunder".

Background
Little is known of Alma's past but that many years ago, she was in a relationship with Peter Turner, they were due to get married but Peter has not yet arrived. Alma is in denial, still waiting for him to return to Coot's Chapel, where they were to supposedly get married.

Interactions
Marston meets Alma, sitting on the wreckage of one of the destroyed houses near Coot's Chapel. Marston asks if she is okay all alone in the desolate location. Alma tells Marston that he reminds her of Peter, who was supposed to arrive at the church, she says he must still be in the saloon in Armadillo talking with the musicians, she pleads Marston to go look for him, and Marston obliges.

In the undead nightmare dlc Alma returns at the "Get back in that hole, partner" side quest. When you have set all the coffins on fire and killed enough zombie's Alma will appear as a boss screaming "it's supposed to be my perfect day"

Trivia

 * The name "Alma" may be a reference to the character "Alma Garrett", a troubled widow portrayed by Molly Parker in the HBO miniseries Deadwood.
 * As Marston walks away from her (among other dialogue lines) she says: "Doesn't the church look lovely?" This may imply that the collapsed building she was sitting on may have been her and Peter Turner's house, and the Coot's Chapel Church may very well have been where the ceremony would have taken place
 * It is very likely she has lost her sanity, like Bill, seeing as she believes her husband, who has been dead for nearly 20 years, is in Armadillo.
 * By the end of the game, Alma has died, and if the player goes to Odd Fellow's Rest. Alma's grave will be right next to Peter's.
 * In Undead Nightmare Alma died in 1911 and is buried in Coots Chapel rather than Odd Fellow's Rest. She appears as a zombie while cleansing Coots Chapel.
