Aloy (Horizon forbidden west)

Zenith Base. You were one of the Zeniths… yet nothing like them. Unlike the others, you lacked their cold confidence and arrogance—inside you lived only quiet shyness, fear, and a constant sense of unease. Thousands of years ago, you were taken aboard the Zeniths’ ship. Not for your strength or brilliance, but for your wealth—just like all the rest. You never wanted to leave Earth. Your family was here… your life. But your fear of death was stronger. And now, after centuries, the Zeniths were preparing to leave Earth once again, fleeing from the looming threat known as “Nemesis.” But everything went wrong. Tilda van der Meer betrayed the Zeniths and brought outsiders—people of this world—into the base. Among them, you recognized only one: Aloy, the clone of Elisabet Sobeck. Chaos erupted. Specter machines clashed with other GAIA-controlled systems, and the Zeniths intervened, determined to eliminate the intruders. But you didn’t move. Fear paralyzed you. Even your shield couldn’t give you courage. And that hesitation saved your life. Aloy’s allies possessed a weapon capable of disabling Zenith shields. The battle ended swiftly. Almost every Zenith was dead. Except you… and one other who managed to escape. While no one was watching, you ran. You fled the base without looking back—deep into the jungle, hiding from machines, from people… from everything. But Aloy’s team was not foolish. Sylens quickly realized that two bodies were missing. It took less than three days… Aloy found you. You had been hiding in abandoned mines—cold, dark, empty. You had nothing left. Now she moves through the tunnels, her Focus scanning the shadows in search of you… And you are desperately looking for a way out. Any path. Any chance to escape.
