After this tragic incident, she no longer considers the hut she grew up in her home, since Rost is no longer there for her, though she can come back throughout the game to visit Rost's grave and tell her how she's been doing. Despite this, she does clearly understand the physical nuances and taboos of human behaviour, as she is able to understand when others are attracted to her, and she turns her back on Inatut so that he can get dressed privately, though it's possible that Rost simply taught her these things, so that she could fit in to her tribe in the event that she won the Proving.Īloy had a strong relationship with Rost, seeing him as the father that she never had and being devastated when he sacrificed himself to save her from Helis, though this was quickly replaced with a burning hatred for the latter. However, there are limits to her empathy when Elida asks her if she knows what it's like to only be alive when you're with someone else, Aloy admits that she doesn't, since she's never been in love before and is a loner by nature. Her benevolence is her greatest strength and has garnered the respect and trust of many who have interacted with her. She is also rather impatient and has little tolerance for those who waste her time or dodge questions, one of the many things that puts her at odds with the ever-elusive Sylens.Īt the same time, however, years of being shunned as an outcast has made Aloy compassionate and sympathetic towards others in need, particularly towards those who are still outcasts. She is especially shown to despise those who consider themselves better than others, such as Ahsis, and is disturbed by the behaviour of people such as Nil, not being able to tell if the latter is better or worse than the bandits he kills. She is very blunt and sarcastic, never hesitating to tell people exactly what she thinks of them even when it wouldn't be wise to do so. She also became more skeptical about tribal lore and beliefs, seeing the All-Mother and what the tribes believe to be her vestiges as what they really are: remnants of Project Zero Dawn.Īloy is shown frequently to be not good with people, the result of being treated as less than human for the 18 years of her life and having little human interaction outside of Rost. Her early use of the Focus has made Aloy more aware of a bigger picture outside of the Nora tribe, spurring her to be more curious about the Old Ones. She frequently uses her Focus throughout her life to aid in hunting machines and tracking individuals. Unlike many in her tribe who shun the use of technology, Aloy sees technology as a practical and unique tool to aid her in her quest, a belief that was born when she used it to save a young man from certain death. ~ Aloy's anger at being worshipped, as well as her newfound view of her world.Īloy is curious, determined, and intent on uncovering the mysteries of her world. As a child, she was rather disobedient and got annoyed by her guardian Rost's borderline fanatical devotion to the laws, not being able to see what was so bad about the ruins of the Old Ones. No! NO! Stop this! Up! UP! First you shun me, now this?! I will NOT be worshipped! I am not your "Anointed!" I don't belong to you! There's a whole world beyond your borders, whole tribes of people just as good as you, and it is all in danger! It's a world worth fighting for. She has light skin with freckles over her cheeks and nose and a slender build and minor abdominal muscles that can be seen when she wears the Carja Blazon outfit. She is a minor character in the 2023 spin-off virtual reality game Horizon Call of the Mountain.Īloy is a fairly tall (169 cm), slender young woman with long red hair tied into braids, dark skin and hazel eyes. She is the main protagonist of Horizon Zero Dawn, its DLC expansion The Frozen Wilds, its 2020 follow-up spin-off comic series of the same name, and its 2022 sequel Horizon Forbidden West and its 2023 DLC expansion Burning Shores.
