Bio
THE NORA OUTCAST
Aloy's bizarre motherless birth confounded the matriarchs of the Nora tribe, who initially believed it to be a curse. As such, she was an outcast from the moment she entered the world. With only her father figure Rost to depend upon for support, Aloy spent her childhood training to survive the unforgiving wilderness that she was forced to live in. The brand of an outcast made Aloy somewhat socially awkward. She is brutally honest in every situation and strongly dislikes authority figures. She still finds time for those who are less fortunate, out of sympathy. Aloy is able to climb like a monkey, in addition to being a stealthy fighter who utilizes primitive means of combat in conunction with advanced technology to become a silent but deadly fighter.
Intro
Aloy jumped down into the hole into the ancient building. She had seen plenty of these before, they were where she found forbidden technology. "I wonder about these places sometimes." She said to herself. "If it wasn't for my focus I wouldn't know anything at all about these places or the people that lived there. Some people here like to keep it that way." She looked around, using focus to see things that she usually saw, the same password protected doors, the same audio logs from days gone by. While it interested her, it wasn't as important as the hunting she needed to do. "Alright, back to work I guess." She turned off her focus for now, and was about to leave the ruins entirely when a glowing blue light appeared to catch her eye. What was it? Aloy moved in on it, seeing that it was obscured by some vines which had grown over it. Brushing them off, she looked at the box, seeing that the glowing blue was emanating from small openings and a weird symbol on the top of the box. What was in it? "Wonder what's in here?" She asked, slowly opening the box. The blue light became blinding as the box opened fully. Aloy dropped the box and shielded her eyes, but it was too late. Once the blinding light subsided, Aloy was nowhere to be seen.
Rival Scene
Aloy stood out from her position of cover with her bow drawn. "I see you over there! No point in trying to hide!" The other woman in the arena stood out from her cover, pointing a gun at her. Aloy recognised the kind, it was similar to the ones Eclipse used. If this woman had anything to do with that deranged cult then Aloy would have her work cut out for her. "How'd you know I was there?" She demanded. Aloy remained tight-lipped. "I thought you Seraphites would have given up by now." What the hell did that mean? "Should've know better I guess."
"You're one to talk. Eclipse members like you are scum." Aloy shot back. It was Ellie's turn to be taken aback. "What the hell are you talking about?"
"Lemme guess, you're after whatever it is that's here because you think it's another idol for you to worship. Well, I've had it with you guys and your insane ideas. I'll end this before it begins." Aloy vowed. "You're out of your mind! There's no way I'm gonna let you go any further!" Ellie retaliated as the two redheads continued their tense standoff.
Outro
Aloy had made her way back to her own world, where Varl was happy to see her. "Where'd you run off to?" He asked. "Long story." She responded. "Nice of you to come looking for me though." Varl smiled. "Someone has to." Ignoring his comment, Aloy looked out across the plains, seeing several machines standing in their way yet still unaware of their presence. The duo crouched down amidst the tall grass to get a look at their opponents. "Weren't you supposed to get rid of these?" Varl asked. "Like I said," Aloy responded, loading an arrow into her bow. "I was busy." That still didn't answer Varl's question. "Busy doing what exactly?" Aloy dashed out of the tall grass towards the machines. "Busy finding a new way to protect life on this planet." Aloy began to glow blue as the machines took notice of her. "It involves making me strong enough to knock down any of these scrap heaps, no matter what!"

Author's Note
Rivalry Connection: Both are stealthy red heads from post-apocalyptic worlds. Both grew up without mothers and were raised in part by father figures who died shortly after they both became adults. Both also use the thing that caused the apocalypse as a tool, the cordyceps virus in Ellie's case and forbidden technology in Aloy's case.
I have played and struggled with Horizon: Zero Dawn, but have yet to pick up Forbidden West, or Genshin Impact for that matter. That game is where a lot of Aloy's quotes come from btw, since a lot of Aloy's quips in Horizon are character specific. I also had no idea she was in Fortnite, another character ruined.
