In Dark Souls, who leads the Forest Hunter covenant?

In Dark Souls, Alvina leads the Forest Hunter covenant.

Alvina is a large talking cat found in the Darkroot Garden, near the ruins associated with the Forest Hunters. Speaking with her allows the player to join the covenant and participate in its invasion-focused multiplayer system, which targets trespassers in the forest.

The covenant is closely connected with the forest’s hostile guardians, including Shiva of the East and the ninja bodyguard who accompanies him. Membership can provide access to the Forest Hunter multiplayer role, but attacking covenant allies can damage the player’s standing.

Alvina is often confused with other major Dark Souls figures because the game contains several powerful nonhuman characters. Darkstalker Kaathe is linked to the Darkwraith covenant, while Gwynevere is the princess encountered in Anor Londo. Priscilla rules the Painted World of Ariamis.
