Allura holds a good force of will, she was able to sacrifice her father's AI in order to save everyone in the ship from entering the sun. She was willing to give up her own life to save reality itself from Haggar's destruction on the entire multiverse. This shows how very self sacrificing and force of good that Allura is as a person and is willing to risk her life for the greater good.
Despite all this, Allura does have a wrathful side to her personality. She has a deep seated hatred for the Galra's due to the destruction of her plant that was caused by Zarkon and the force oppression of other races in the galaxy. It got to that point where she distrust anyone from the Galra empire. For example: Allura already dislike the group called Blade of Marmora mainly on the fact they were Galra's and distrusted them. She also angrily knocked Lotor out after discovering his true plans for the galaxy. She even compared Lotor to his father suggesting that he is exactly like him and thought of abandoning him in the quintessence field despite being conflicted with this idea. By the time of season 8, she was fully prepare to kill Haggar AKA Honerva out of anger for using the remaining Alteans for her own plans. But after entering her subconscious, noticing the tragedy between Honerva and Zarkon and their corruption she was willing to forgive them. She even tells Honerva about Lotor and understands her pain of wanting to be a better parent for her son and what she has went through.
==Abilities==
As an Altean, Allura's abilities include the chameleon-like ability to blend in with other species and magical abilities related to quintessence. She has a telepathic bond with some Altean mice that had ended up in the same cryo-pod that she was hibernating inside of.
==Trivia==
*Allura's exact age is unknown. She has been described as being a teenager by series staff and merchandise.Joaquim Dos Santos, Wonder-Con 2017 Due to Coran's age being at least 600 years old,Coran's age proving the long lifespan of Alteans, it is not known if Allura is truly 19 years old or younger, or simply the Altean equivalent of a human teenager.
**Although she has existed for at least 10,000 years, Allura has not aged mentally nor physically because she had been in a stasis sleep and did not consciously experience that span of time.
** Kova is 28 deca-phoebs old when Honerva and Zarkon enter the rift on Daibazaal, and Allura was born after Kova. The Paladin's Handbook translates deca-phoebs to years; if the guidebook is accurate, and no significant time passed between Daibazaal's destruction and Allura's stasis, then Allura is no more than 28 years old.
** Allura was born before Lotor, but because she was put in a stasis sleep for 10,000 years and he instead experienced those 10,000 years' worth of time, Lotor is older than her.
*Allura's death in the season finale has caused numerous controversies with fans of the show and character. Many felt it was very unnecessary to have her be killed off just to restore the multiverse from Haggar's mental breakdown and that it was unfair for everyone to get a happy ending but her. 
**Not only that, her entire royal bloodline ended with her since she has no relatives and children to continue her legacy.
**Besides that, many fans started to send death threats and hate towards the creators of the show and voice actors. Some have gotten so far to stop acknowledging the show all together.
