VISION
Aloy makes a pretty striking figure. Despite being rather average in terms of height, she's got the body and stature of a finely honed multiple sport athlete. She's absolutely covered in whipcord muscle and has impressive biceps, triceps, and back muscles thanks to all the free climbing she does. Her hair is a bright, gingery red and is usually done up in a series of braids that are intertwined with ornamentation. She has a straight-forward, challenging gaze.
Aloy has a lot of energy, but she knows to conserve it. You never know where your next meal is coming from, after all. She has an unnerving habit of sitting or standing very, very still when she's not thinking about it. It's a habit developed from years of stalking and hunting. Her movements tend towards the understated--sure, she makes big, expansive gestures when she needs to, but she doesn't often find that that need comes up much. Instead, she makes small, focused movements that tend towards the appearance of being deliberate.
Her clothing is all earth tones. Warm, rich browns and greens and a few muted sky blue colors to give a bit of an accent. She wants something that blends with the world around, something a little natural in feel and appearance. She hasn't brought much weaponry with her on this mission, only a knife which she can keep close to her.
SOUND
Aloy tends towards a sort of casual speech. There's little formality in her, thanks to the way she was raised and she speaks quickly and off the cuff much of the time. She's still young and it can be hard for her to stop herself from just saying the first thing that comes to mind. Still, she's sharp, intelligent, and discerning when it comes to the world around her.
Her emotions tend to be worn on her sleeve. No matter what she's feeling, she's expressive and a bit obvious about it. It's not really in her nature to hide her feelings or to keep them hidden from those around her.
SCENT
Clean. She bathes when she can, though not every day if she doesn't need it, so there tends to be a bit of a lingering scent of sweat around her, but otherwise she doesn't go in for scented products.
MIND
Aloy's mind is expansive and open. Her walls have gotten better and tend to be represented by tall, snow-capped mountains rather than anything like a door or gate. In her mind there's often the impression of being surrounded by a larger, interconnected world and the imagery of tall mountains, the scent of pine trees, and sweeping desert vistas are all present. She feels small, a part of a larger whole, but that doesn't diminish her or her sense of who she is. Rather, there's comfort in that sensation. Her mind is sharp and whiel it's organized, is more in a way she understands than anything strict and compartmentalized. Everything has a place and she knows where those places are.
