Character Information
Name: Allura
Canon: Voltron: Legendary Defender
Canon Point: End of Season 6
Age: Unknown. The actual aging rate of Alteans hasn't been explained yet. "Late middle age-ish" or "old" might be around 600, which could put her somewhere in the 100-200 range if they age at a comparable rate, just over a longer period of time. She was asleep for 10,000 years, but she did not experience that time. Apparent age is late -teens, early twenties.
History: Allura @ Voltron Wiki
Personality: As a princess and representative of Altea, it is Allura's responsibility to portray a good face. She successfully embodies the poise required of her position. She is careful with her words and sensitive to the needs of others, or at least she tries to be. Alteans were considered excellent diplomats and the way she announces Voltron and gathers forces to join in the Coalition and fight against Zarkon's oppression shows that Allura has a knack for this as well. She is intelligent and tactful both on and off the battlefield, able to coordinate amongst various teams for large-scale operations as well as improvise in the heat of the moment. She is aware of the roles and responsibilities required of her as a station and as one of the last Alteans alive and does not consider them a burden. If anything she wants to excel at them.
These are all important traits for a Princess to have, but no one that many might associate with them. Allura is clearly trained in hand-to-hand combat and knows how to defend herself--decidedly not the Princess who sits in a tower and waits to be rescued. She is a natural leader and unafraid to take control of a situation, however she is shown to give heed to or follow the input of others if she trusts them or believes they have more expertise for a given situation. Most of the time. For all her empathy and understanding, Allura can be very stubborn and does not take well to being challenged during those times. Though she is at least a young adult by Altean standards, it's her stubbornness that can cause Allura to act childish, such as her inherent belief that Zarkon was tracking them through her and thus flew off into space with Keith with little to no good plan on how to get back. This shows that even with her experience, she still has room to grow.
Betrayal cuts deep with Allura and she does not forgive and forget easily. Zarkon's destruction of her homeworld and the genocide that followed is not something that Allura ignores. Earlier in the series it is her main driving motivation to start fighting as soon as she's awakened and reform Voltron. It also leads her to be extremely prejudiced against anyone of Galran heritage, such as the Blades of Marmora and Keith, one of her Paladins. But it's through his actions that she sees the error in her way of thinking. It's not an easy switch to make, but it keeps her open-minded and helps her find new allies in the Blades, which are largely Galra. It should also be noted that if she trusts someone implicitly she will look past her own hangups, such as when Shiro wanted to originally reach out to the Blades. Allura did not like the idea at all, but she trusted Shiro enough to go through with the meeting, which proved beneficial in the end for everyone.
When Allura does trust someone, it is absolute. That makes her a reliable partner and ally as well as puts her in a position to be blind to some of the shortcomings of others. Though she initially has an infinite amount of reasons not to trust Lotor--such as the fact that he's Zarkon's son and has attacked them on numerous occasions--he is eventually able to win her over to the point where she is willing to travel alone with him on a special mission. Coran is like a second father to her, and though she is willing to push aside some of his warnings as any daughter might, she values and trusts him as a person and as one of the few Alteans left. He looks out for her well-being when she refuses to. All of the Paladins become part of her new family and she trusts them with her life, and has willingly put hers on the line again and again for them. Though she values all of their contributions and talents--all of which she noted when she began to assign them their Lions--she is most often shown discussing tactics and giving command over to Shiro.
Being a calm and collected leader is extremely important to her. While she can be friendly and expresses a great desire to bond with her new-found family, Allura has a tendency to keep a lot of her thoughts, feelings, and worries to herself. She is very much concentrated on the greater good, whether it is the good of the team or the good of the universe, and will always put those needs before her own. Though she opens up bit by bit over time, failings of the team, of missions, and her own mistakes are those she takes very, very personally. She attributes these to her inability to lead, prepare, to live up to her father's legacy. Allura would rather force herself to work through a stressful situation against her better judgment than to take a rest, in part to get the job done and in part to distract herself. Though she doesn't often seek comfort in her friends, she is grateful when it's received.
Allura has the fortitude and resolve to stand up in the face of overwhelming odds, the empathy and understanding to relate the suffering of others, and the will to change it. She can be a commanding and diplomatic strategist, playful or excited about new discoveries, and sometimes too deep in the trenches of her own ideals. But at the end of the day Allura wants to do right by the people she cares about, to protect the universe and carry the mantle of her father's legacy and see it to completion. She started out feeling as if she had lost everything, but has only found more and more reasons to fight.
Abilities & Skills:
Inventory/Companions:
➤ Pink Paladin Armor
➤ Blue Bayard which will be deactivated in game
Choice: Witch
Reason: Allura is already kind of a magical space elf, so she does have a penchant for that sort of thing. More so, the term "witch" is one that's definitely been used as an insult descriptive of someone who has distorted the manipulation of quintessence, so Allura would really struggle with the connotation being applied to herself. (Getting corrupted like that is a fear of hers.)

Abilities & Skills:
- Super Strength. She is much stronger than the average human, able to toss around grown men (who are arguably larger than she is), as well as full-scale robotic humanoids around like it's no big deal. She was also able to almost forcibly close automated hanger doors on a spaceship that were trying to open.
- Magical Abilities:
- Quintessence/Energy Manipulation. She is able to channel her own energy as a resource to power the Castleship and create Wormholes. She is also able to give this a sort of physical form in both offensive and defensive magic-like skills in combat, though she is unpracticed at this and only discovered it in the heat of battle.
- Quintessence/Energy Healing. She is also able to imbue her energy into living things, such as healing and restoring the entire Balmera "planet" and essentially bring it back to life. She has also been seen using her own quintessence to heal/restore her teammates.
- Shapeshifting. All Alteans have the ability to change their appearance to a certain degree. Allura is able to alter her size and coloring in order to blend in with other species.
- Telepathy. She is able to communicate and understand the Atlean mice from spending 10,000 years in the same cryo-pod. This ability is only shown with the mice.
- Alchemy. Though this is newly gifted and also largely unpracticed at her canon point, Allura has the ability and knowledge of how to imbue machinery with her Quintessence. This was the same knowledge that led her father to create Voltron.
- Piloting. She pilots the Castleship and is able to quickly pick up the controls of piloting a Lion as well.
