| “ | 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 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 mo-capped by Hannah Hoekstra.
Her Good Ranking[]

- 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.
What Prevents Her From Being Pure Good?[]
- While Aloy has done a lot of admirable acts throughout the series, given the admirable standards of the franchise, where she easily passes, her personality and her various Minor Jerk moments, some of which are based on player choice, is what holds her back from Pure Good, unlike her predecessor Elisabet Sobeck, such as when she threatens the con artist Fernund with a threat should he never leave Meridian Village and stop his criminality of conning others, instead of peacefully telling him to leave. However, her personality doesn’t go to the point of being anti-heroic or overtly corrupting no matter the player choice so it is a minor prevention
- After saving CYAN from HEPHAESTUS, Aloy has no problems poking fun of Sylens' treacherous and secretive past, resulting in him giving her the cold shoulder about it.
Trivia[]
- Her genetic blueprint, Elisabet Sobeck, is listed as Pure Good, while her genetic twin, Beta, is listed as Inconsistently Admirable.
- 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.
