Princess Allura (Voltron: Legendary Defender)

Princess Allura is one of the main characters from the Voltron: Legendary Defender series.
== Charactah Account ==
Allura was the princess of the formerly-extinct Planet Altea. She assisted her father in his war counsel, commanded the Castle of Lions in the fight against Zarkon, and formerly piloted the Blue Lion until her death. She was a formidable combatant, stategist, speaker, alchemist, and the last of the Sacred Alteans: once revered for their ability to channel and manipulate Quintessence. Allura was the face of the resistance against the Galra and stopped at nothing to bring peace and balance throughout the Universe, even at the expense of her own life.
Being a member of the Altean Royal Family, Allura was known for her commanding attitude towards the Paladins, her serious demeanor and occasionally playful personality. However, she did have a deep-seated bitterness; Zarkon was the focal point of Allura's rage and suffering because of his betrayal of her and her family that resulted in the murder of her father, her entire race, and the destruction of her home planet. Allura's raw hatred of Zarkon was unnerving to behold for those more familiar with her more compassionate side, and her bloody history with the Galra has fostered in her a severe hatred and distrust of their race. This comes to the forefront upon learning of Keith's revelation that he is part Galra. She becomes severely conflicted and begins coldly shunning him. However, in due time, Allura realized that Keith has more than proven his good heart and rightful place on the team, which Allura considers to be her new-found family, and she reaffirms her trust in him by apologizing for her misjudgment.
Allura was a very caring and altruistic individual who wants to do right by the people of the galaxy and was incredibly committed to her diplomatic and military duties as the daughter of the king, and appears to define her mission by the same standards and care that her father did. Allura greatly admired her father and misses him, and tries very hard to take up the mantle of leadership in his stead. She is very intelligent in dangerous situations, shown when she absorbed a dark entity extracted from another Altean (though she was haunted with visions of Lance, Lotor, and Melenor to do it) and decided to use it to access Honerva’s mind via hers. She maintained a deferential attitude towards her father's hologram until its destruction, despite the mantle of leadership having passed to her.

== Trivia ==
* Allura's exact age is unknown. She has been described as being a "teenager" by series staff and merchandise. Due to Coran's age being at least 600 years old, 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.
** Allura claims she has flown the Castleship for half of her life. If she is 19 or younger, then she would have flown the Castleship at about 9 years old.
** Although she has existed for at least ten thousand 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 Legendary Defender iteration is the first incarnation of the character who died at the series's finale, a change which sparked controversy among fans.
* Due to the fact that; Allura had died; before she had any children; the royal Altean bloodline is now extinct.
