Aloy grew up with Rost in his home within The Embrace, fully aware that Rost was not her father and that she was an outcast, though she was unaware of the reason why. With the help of Teersa, Rost was able to perform a traditional naming ritual for the baby, whom he named Aloy. The High Matriarchs placed her in the care of Rost, an outcast who kept to Nora traditions, and who would come to love the child as if she were his own daughter. Because of this, she was made an outcast by Nora law. As no person except for the High Matriarchs could enter the mountain, it was deeply suspected that the baby was not born of a human mother. The High Matriarchs found the baby upon hearing her cries while High Matriarch Teersa believed that the child was a gift from All-Mother, many of the Nora tribe, especially High Matriarch Lansra, feared that the baby was a curse, placed in the Sacred Mountain by a metal devil. The interior of the mountain, and specifically the door to ELEUTHIA-9 had come to be seen by the Nora tribe as the embodiment of their deity All-Mother. On April 4, 3021, the clone was deemed viable and delivered at 9:30.Īs per GAIA's instructions, the entry hatch of ELEUTHIA-9 was unsealed, a multi servitor transported the newborn clone to the entry hatch and placed it outside the facility, then the hatch sealed itself again. The genetic material of Elisabet Sobeck in cryo-storage was used to create a zygote that had near-identical genetics to Sobeck, cataloged as #LK-1A1-4510, and gestated in Ectogenic Chamber B1-001. On August 26, 3020, ELEUTHIA-9 received the gestation order from GAIA Prime shortly before GAIA went offline. GAIA ordered ELEUTHIA-9, presumably the cradle facility at which the Alphas’ genetic material was stored, to produce the Sobeck clone. This clone would have gene print necessary to access the Alpha Registry and enter Zero Dawn facilities to rebuild GAIA's system core upon reaching maturity. As a result, GAIA utilized an unused Zero Dawn protocol by which clones of Zero Dawn’s Alpha designers could be made, called Lightkeeper, to create a clone of Elisabet Sobeck. However, this act would lead to GAIA's destruction as well, and cause the eventual breakdown of the terraforming system. In order to prevent this, GAIA activated a fail-safe, overloading the GAIA Prime reactor in an attempt to wipe out HADES. The HADES sub-function, which was designed to create a clean slate if GAIA did not produce a sustainable environment, immediately attempted to take control of GAIA's terraforming systems to eradicate humanity once more. In August 3020, the AI GAIA received a transmission from an unknown source that turned her subordinate functions into self-aware and erratic artificial intelligences. Aloy has many outfits in the game, but her default outfit is the Nora Brave outfit. A lifetime of intense physical activity has resulted in her being in exceptional physical condition. Her eyes are green and her eyebrows are narrow. She also has accessories in her hair such as beads.

She is 1.69 meters tall, with long red hair and freckles on her cheeks and nose. She is voiced by voice actress Ashly Burch and modeled after actress Hannah Hoekstra. In doing so, she unraveled the mysteries of why the world became as it is, and also learned the true nature of her origins. Aloy succeeded, saving life on Earth and the humans of the new world that Zero Dawn created. GAIA created Aloy for the purpose of stopping HADES, a rogue AI bent on reactivating the Faro Plague in order to wipe out life again. She was created by GAIA, the governing artificial intelligence of Zero Dawn, a global terraforming system that Sobeck had designed and whose implementation she had spearheaded, which restored life to Earth after its eradication by the Faro Plague.
