36. Aloy

First appearance: Horizon: Zero Dawn (2017)

Alloys are materials made by fusing metals and other elements to create a stronger, more flexible product than its parts.

This makes “Aloy” the perfect name for the main character of Horizon: Zero Dawn – a genetic clone of a 21st-century roboticist and engineer who grows up fighting for survival instead of getting a degree.

She may not be able to create a robot out of sticks and string.

But her outstanding smarts and curiosity blend with her rough-and-tough personality and survival experience to make her an incredible warrior, and a symbol of hope for her tribe.
