character information ● name: Aloy ● canon: Horizon Zero Dawn ● canon point: After the Maker's End quest (+ The completion of the sidequest Into the Borderlands) ● age: 19
● abilities: Using the Focus: The Focus allows for Aloy to scan the world around her. With it she can do various things such as contacting files hidden in machines, seeing the locations of other living things within the area, and finding weaknesses in machine enemies.
Override: Aloy can use the override mechanism attached to the end of her staff to override hostile machines and make them allies as well as open doors.
Crafting: Aloy can forage and craft all sorts of different items from arrows to bombs to traps to health potions. ● strengths:
Compassion: Despite a difficult life as an outsider and outcast amongst the Nora, Aloy retained a sense of compassion and understanding towards others. She always steps forward to help those in need and ensures the safety of the people around her. She encourages people to find their own strength and to struggle over hardships. Aloy is also perceptive to people's hidden emotions and is able to reach out to them by bringing them up.
Curious: Most of the Nora shun technology and machinery but Aloy is curious about it and is able to use that to her advantage. She is also open minded about other cultures and doesn't buy into the isolationist perspective of the Nora either.
Loyal: Aloy is loyal to people and wants to help them, even if perhaps that's not the most logical choice. Even though the Nora have hurt her by exiling her and justifiably mean nothing to her, Aloy still returns to save them despite this. She still feels something towards them and so risks her life for them.
Proactive: Aloy is a fast actor who takes the initiative when no one else will. That's not to say she leaps without thinking (most of the time anyway), she usually has plenty of questions about whatever someone is asking her to do, but she's quick to step up and do what needs to be done. She'll even do it even if she doesn't think the task makes all that much sense.
● weaknesses: Social skills: Because Aloy was raised alone and as an outcast, she is often suspicious of people and stand-offish towards them, even people that she's trying to help. She's blunt and so to the point that it's almost aggressive. She is quick to call people out on being shady or strange and doesn't overall have a lot of discretion at her disposal. She also can come across as needlessly harsh in her snarky commentary. However as she meets people along the way in her journey, she does become better at this.
Frustration: Aloy can become easily frustrated when she runs into obstacles in her way. Sometimes she deals with that just by trying to snark at it or make sassy observations. However, at times it can really get the best of her and she can snap and explode at people, even her guardian Rost, who was just trying to support her.
Single-minded: Aloy can sometimes miss the forest for the trees. She gets wrapped up in a massive conspiracy that threatens the fate of her own world as well as explains what happened to the world before. However, Aloy is narrowly focused on her questions about who she is and who she came from, becoming caught up in those details and falling into a bit of despair when she learns the truth of her origins. Thankfully, she usually recovers quickly and focuses on proceeding despite her own feelings.
