I gave this matter some thought, Unfortunate Mermaid. (Yes, I am the original author) I can only think of two reasons she lost to Alma. Either Alma's hand-to-hand was just that good, or...well, let's consider Granberia. She is a very focused, strong, determined...and a very serious person. Now, let's take Alma: playful, tricky, teasing, etc. No doubt Granberia's seriousness (and short temper) was a disadvantage here. Perhaps she turned these qualities against her, basically trolling her until she got sloppy and did something stupid.

It seems that one must either be completely stoic, or as playful as her, in order to even have a chance. You don't want to lose your cool against her.
