Editing Horizon Zero Dawn (section)

===Alva===

A historian from a [[China|distant fantasy land where scholars are cool and get girlfriends]]. She joined her people's great crusade overseas in the hope she could dig up helpful technology, and accomplished this goal by virtue of being the only Quen who tried talking with the locals instead of killing them. She quickly bonded with Aloy over their shared nerdery, and joined her quest after certain things they discovered made Alva a threat to her nation's stability.

Despite being a fangirl, Alva is surprisingly chad, being skilled at archery, attracting girls, and fiercely devoted to the Quen's ancestor cult- so devoted that she sailed for months in a medieval, disease-ridden ship rather than give up hope for her homeland. In her opinion, fighting alien robots is a small price to pay for the honor of working with the "Living Ancestor" that is Aloy.
