Alyx is meant to become your friend over the course of the

games. Someone you can rely on and somebody who has

something to stand for. She’s strong willed and isn’t afraid to

put up a fight. This is all emulated through her movement and

tone of voice. She’s friendly to people with good intentions

and goes out of her way to help them. But anyone who tries to

destroy society she will tell them how she feels through speech

and hostile action. She sticks by the player throughout the

heat of battle and even after being injured still continues to

fight. The other characters talk about her strong will for the

good of the people. All of this builds a need to protect her

whilst knowing that she can handle herself.

She spits in the face of a major antagonist, kicks a zombie out of

a moving car and takes two stab wounds to the back. But she

still comes across friendly and still has room to crack a joke.
