| “ | And only I… Only I have your genetic code. It won't be long before we hit the point of no return. And then… Extinction. I've been searching for months for what I need. A backup of GAIA, the AI you designed to control the system. But every time I think I have a lead, it comes to nothing. And every night I have the same dream. I'm walking under a brilliant night sky, through a field of flowers. And when I arrive at the center… I see you, Elisabet. Waiting for me. Even though you've been dead for a thousand years. You're the closest person I've ever had to a mother. | „ |
| ~ Aloy's monologue in Horizon Forbidden West. |
Aloy is the main protagonist of the Horizon franchise.
She serves as the main protagonist of Horizon Zero Dawn, Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds, Horizon Zero Dawn: The Comic Series, Horizon Forbidden West and Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores. She serves as a minor character in the 2023 spin-off game Horizon: Call of the Mountain.
She is the clone of the 21st Century roboticist and scientist Elisabet Sobeck, who is an outcast of her own tribe for 18 years due to her mysterious origins, including her birth.
She is later revealed to have been created by the terraforming Artificial Intelligence known as GAIA, as a purpose to stop the now-rogue AI known as HADES, who was an erstwhile part of the system that went rogue due to a malevolent AI known as Nemesis, as well as stopping the Eclipse. She later heads to the Forbidden West with her allies to reboot GAIA and retrieve its subordinate functions, as well as stopping Far Zenith and HEPHAESTUS.
She is voiced by Ashly Burch, and modelled by Hannah Hoekstra. Both Burch and Hoekstra also portrayed Elisabet Sobeck.
History[]
This section is too long. Visit here for more details: Aloy's Synopsis on the Heroes Wiki.
Her Good Ranking[]
What Makes Her Pure Good?[]
General[]
- Aloy is shown to be sympathetic and altruistic, given her time as an outcast, and is willing to help others in need, including other outcasts of her own tribe.
- While she was jerkish at some points in the series, most of these are simply one-off heating-up period moments that are resolved at the end or her being jerk is for justified reasons, especially when said villains are atrocious or despicable, including Resh who disrespected the Nora Braves who died during the Massacre, Fernund attempting to con others with his disreputable business practices, as well as with Tekotteh refusing to listen to Hekarro's orders, even though Aloy tried to reason with him.
- Despite her killing the Eclipse cultists in the first game and with Regalla's Rebels and Far Zenith army in the sequel, these are all considered to be righteous killings and in self-defence than kills solely based on impulse. For instance, the Eclipse are a massive danger to the tribes around the Sundom and the Sacred Lands, especially with their goal of taking Meridian by force that allowed HADES to initiate the Faro Plague, so it makes sense that Aloy has no other choice but to deal with them accordingly. There's also the fact that Far Zenith are a more serious threat to humanity who shows little to no care to them, therefore Aloy has no other choice but to end their threat before lives would be lost.
Horizon Zero Dawn[]
- She saves Teb during her childhood from Bast and the rest of the bullies.
- She thwarts the Proving Massacre and avenged several newly inducted Braves who were killed during the horrific attack, including her former tormentor Bast, Vala, and a few others.
- She stops the attack of the Corruptor and the Corrupted Machines that attacked Mother's Watch, moments after halting the Proving Massacre.
- She, along with Varl, Sona, and the rest of the Nora Braves who joined with her, take revenge on the Eclipse attackers responsible for the Proving Massacre, who were seen settling in the Ring of Metal, ending their threat temporarily in the Sacred Lands.
- She uncovers the real truth behind Ersa's death, stopped Dervahl's champion in his camp in Pitchcliff, and foiled Dervahl's genocidal plan in destroying Meridian with large amounts of Blaze barrels.
- She stops all of the Eclipse's ancient FARO machine excavation sites in Rockwreath, Maker's End, The Grave-Hoard, and Zero Dawn Project Facility.
- She stops the Eclipse's genocidal attack of the Nora tribe, saving the rest of her tribe from near extinction.
- She helps Nakoa out and put an end to Zaid's criminality, including his slave ring.
- She helps Talanah Khane Padish, during her term as a Thrush, and foiled Ahsis' rather despicable plans of killing Talanah for the title, as well as her and Talanah stopping the Redmaw that killed countless hunters. Her actions are what led to Talanah being installed as the new Sunhawk of the Hunters' Lodge, ending Ahsis' misogynistic policies, once and for all.
- She stops Rasgrund, Ullia, and Gavan from destroying Sunstone Rock and putting an end to their threat.
- She stops Bahavas and his men, with the help of Vanasha, saves Uthid from being hunted down by Shadow Carja bounty hunters, and later stops the Eclipse army from taking Itamen and Nasadi away after being smuggled by Vanasha in Sunfall.
- She stops Helis and the Eclipse, as well as the rogue Artificial Intelligence HADES from transmitting the Extinction Signal, which awakened the long-buried FARO machines from around the new world, ending the rogue AI's threat, once and for all.
Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds[]
- She helps Ourea out in her quest to rescue the benevolent AI CYAN, who has been imprisoned by HEPHAESTUS (the Daemon) inside Cauldron EPSILON for five years.
- She defeats Aratak for the Banuk chieftaincy title, and later gains trust with the Banuk Werak chieftain, where she soon temporarily becomes a chieftain and leading the expedition to the Firebreak Facility.
- She later defeats HEPHAESTUS and his machines in both the Firebreak Facility and later Cauldron EPSILON. While she knocked out, this gives Ourea the advantage to purge out the rogue AI from the Machine Cauldron's core, and with CYAN being finally freed from HEPHAESTUS' confinement.
- She willingly relinquishes the chieftain title and give it back to Aratak, after her mission was fulfilled.
Horizon Zero Dawn the Comic Series[]
- Aloy helps Talanah throughout her quest to stop the threat of the "new breed", black-armoured (Apex) machines, as well as with Aloy stopping the threat of an Apex Sawtooth that has been on the loose. She saves a girl, her own caravan's sole survivor, who was chased by the Apex Sawtooth responsible for the caravan's destruction and death of its other members.
Horizon Forbidden West[]
- She stops Regalla's attack on the Embassy in Barren Light, as well as killing Regalla's champion Grudda.
- She stops Vezreh and the Eclipse remnants in Shadow's Reach, as well as rescuing the Utaru prisoners held within the ruin, as well as with Aloy stopping Vezreh's genocidal plan of bombing the five capital cities around the Forbidden West.
- She stops the attack of the machines sent by HEPHAESTUS within the cordon in Plainsong, saving the already-affected Utaru tribe from extinction.
- She later reasons with MINERVA inside the Regional Control Centre and restores the self-aware AI back to its basic programming, before rebooting GAIA.
- She, along with Erend and Varl, later rescues Beta inside Ninmah Research Facility, who has warned her group regarding the Far Zenith's progress of completing GAIA for their own ends.
- She retrieves all of GAIA's Subordinate Functions, including AETHER, DEMETER, and POSEIDON, thus giving GAIA the heuristic matrix advantage to stop HEPHAESTUS.
- She finally convinces Tekotteh to obey Hekarro's orders of sending his own tribe members to the Kulrut. While their initial interaction was somehow hostile, due to Tekotteh's stubbornness of refusing to listen Hekarro's orders, Aloy and Tekotteh soon put their grudges aside for good, after the latter changed his ways upon seeing Faraday's recording.
- She later stops Regalla's attempted sabotage of the Kulrut in the Memorial Grove, saving Hekarro and the others from her genocidal attack.
- She saves Amadis, with the help of Talanah, in Thornmarsh, as well as various prisoners from the Tenakth Rebels in the Rot within Raintrace.
- She ventures to the Isle of Spires and stops the Apex Thunderjaw from attacking the Digsite, who have been attacking the Quen, thus gaining the respect of the tribe.
- She retrieves Ted Faro's Omega Clearance in Thebes and later puts an end to the Ceo's plan, after the bunker's collapse and his betrayal and demise, ending his reign of terror towards his own tribe. She then convinces a shocked and displeased Bohai regarding the Ceo's fate, and their discovery inside the bunker, thus causing the Quen to side with Aloy, and with Alva joining in with Aloy's team.
- Even though she lashed out at Beta for being a pessimist, this is only a minor heating-up moment. This is because Aloy understandably wants her genetic twin to be a changed person for the better by using Rost as an example of why she becomes the person that she currently is: the person willing to save those who are in need. Her efforts was what made Beta finally getting out of her shell and willingly help Aloy's team out.
- She later leads the effort of retrieving HEPHAESTUS inside Cauldron GEMINI, in spite of the failure that happened due to the Zeniths' sudden interference.
- She mourns Varl's demise at the hands of Erik Visser after recovering inside Tilda's old mansion.
- She later stops Regalla's second attack of the Memorial Grove single-handedly by tossing an EMP into her machines, significantly crippling her army, and with Aloy later defeating Regalla in a battle to the death, thus ending the rebellion and saving the Tenakth from being used by Sylens.
- She later spearheads the attack of the Far Zenith base, defeating the remaining Zenith survivors, as well as defeating Tilda van der Meer, who is now inside a Specter Prime exoframe, in a violent final battle, putting an end to the organisation, once and for all. Even before the fight, she tried to negotiate peacefully with Tilda to avoid the battle.
Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores[]
- Convinced Gerrit regarding Rokomo's innocence after Enki's demise, who in reality defended Rokomo from a group of machines, thereby allowing the admiral to arrest Rheng for insubordination and covering-up of evidence.
- Joined forces with Seyka to find the missing Quen who have been brainwashed and kidnapped by the Zenith Walter Londra, who became subsequently a part of the latter's own cult.
- Accepted Nova's own wish to be put at peace for last by shutting down its source code, after a millennia of abuse from its own master.
- Saved Seyka's younger sister Kina from Londra, as well as the missing Quen from his park.
- Thwarted Londra's plans of escaping Earth with his cultists, where he attempted to irradiate thousands of people from the planet with his own rocket. She also stopped him from escaping Earth and leaving it to Nemesis.
- Stopped Londra from further using the Metal Devil/Horus as possible means to destroy tribal settlements he comes across, thereby saving the Quen and possibly other tribes from being slaughtered by his terror.
Trivia[]
- Her genetic blueprint, Elisabet Sobeck, is also listed as Pure Good, while her genetic twin, Beta, is listed as Inconsistently Admirable.
- She was initially approved as Near Pure Good, due to her minor corrupting factors including minor jerk moments. However, due to the sequel's release, her corrupting factors no longer hold up as she subverts them, therefore she is subsequently approved as Pure Good.
- Only her mainline counterpart qualifies as Pure Good, as her Genshin Impact appearance does not qualify as such, due to her being mostly a crossover character that plays little relevance to GI's main story.
