Alita (Gally)
Looks: Alita's cute at the least. Deep, amber eyes, full pouty lips,
and a general demeaner of innocence and charm about her when she's in a good mood, add
to a child-like impression. However, this girl's got a bite to her. When she's mad,
you know it; those once-gentle eyes turning into a hard, glinting stare of unmistakable
fury. Below her neck, Alita's all machine, her slender, short body a steel-blue cyborg.
There's very little to her frame, aside from her slight curves and humanoid shape, to
make it appear human at all; exhaust ports running up and down her lower arms giving
evidence to her body's purpose.
Smarts: Street-smart to be sure, her life as a bounty hunter in Scrap
Iron City giving her very little excuse not to be, she's also fairly intelligent in
other areas. An avid reader, she specializes in German literature and philosophy, and
has shown rather esoteric knowledge in these areas before.
Personality: Very deep, Alita lives her personalities like her life to
the fullest, and with a touch of recklessness. Although her stubborness is a constant
with her, she can be dark and brooding, quiet and highly introspective, or near maniacal
and kill-happy, depending on the circumstances. She's also possessive, especially in
matters of love. If you win her heart, she's going to make sure you remember that
you're hers as well; mild death threats from her desire to keep someone no matter what
the cost not being beyond her if it carries itself too far. But she'll always convert
to her love-struck happiness in the end if all goes well, or she can see promise in
continuing it; sure that love will defeat any problems of straying minds. She takes her
relationships seriously, to the point of not wanting to live anymore, or finding no
worth in her life, if she loses someone.
Home Economics: Marginal. Although she knows how to keep a room clean,
her life has been spent in a dark and grungy urban sprawl, an almost literal garbage
dump She'd probably become accomadated to conventional life after the shock is over, of
course. Still, don't expect too much from her. She'll keep the place clean, but don't
look for anything special. Too many repeated requests will most likely end up with you
having a cleaning bucket dumped on your head.
Combat: With her cyborg body, ridiculous speed, and particular style of
martial arts, Alita's quite simply one of the best fighters you're likely to ever run
into. There's very few that can beat her, and she usually always learns from her
mistakes, and finds holes in their defenses. If you manage to win her love, in showing
her devotion for you she'd think nothing of being the perfect bodyguard.
Special Abilities: Along with supernatural strength and tactics,
Alita's found ways to apply her battle experience and the knowledge she's picked up
from reading, into other fields. So far, she's shown herself to be a first-rate
musician, capable of drawing crowds of normally-jaded folks, into cheering
onlookers.
Competition: Hugo, Alita's first love. She's in deep for him, and
although she'd give him the world, Hugo's too busy gazing at the skies to even notice
her, much past a friend with some romantic tension. Alita's still devoted to him
however, and it would be nearly impossible to pry her from him.
Finances: In the city, Alita's pretty well off. As the best bounty
hunter there, she can rack in the chips effortlessly when she puts her mind to it. What
luxuries there are to be bought in the city, are easily within her grasp. If you were
to take her to the real world, however, she'd have serious problems not being a target
for abduction by the government for experiments, let alone finding a job.
In-Laws: Alita has little family; Daisuke Ido being the closest thing
she had to a relative. Although not truly related to her, Ido resurrected Alita and
gave her her body, and her name. As such, Alita considers him her father, and their
bond is very strong; possibly one of the very few static things about her, no matter
what's on her mind. The way she expresses it can change, but unless something drastic
happens, she's always Ido's little girl, and even when things are bad she'd go back to
him as soon as she settles down again. Ido would be honored to see his daughter married
though, and wouldn't raise an object, as long as she was still able to be with him as
his daughter. If not, Ido would do anything in his power to recover her.
Sex: As Alita's got very little in the way of a physical sexual
identity, sex is out of the question unless you have a penchant for fellatio, and other
activities that she can do with a flesh face and a metal body, but only those. Although
it's possible that her body can 'feel' sexual stimulis, sex with Alita would be
unconventional to say the least. Given those allowances, sex with her would be very
physical, and easily damaging or deadly if she were to get out of hand; the fear of
being reduced to a mangled corpse on the bedsheets if she moved wrong would be a
consistant problem.
Overall: Alita would make a wonderful girlfriend, but a difficult
wife. Although she'd give you her heart and expect yours too, making for a wonderful
relationship at first glance, problems with her independance and stubborness would make
a serious, long-term relationship unobtainable.
