Gloria (Colossal)

Gloria is the main protagonist of the 2016 dark fantasy film, Colossal.
She is portrayed by Anne Hathaway.
==Overview==
Gloria is an out-of-work party girl who leaves New York and moves back to her hometown after getting kicked out of her apartment by her boyfriend. When news reports surface that a giant creature is destroying Seoul, South Korea, Gloria gradually comes to the realization that she is somehow connected to this far-off phenomenon.
==Story==
Gloria lives a glamorously fast-paced life in New York City, where she writes for a website and lives with her boyfriend, Tim. But the latter, tired of seeing Gloria stumble in after yet another night of drinking, kicks her out of the apartment. Without anywhere else to go, she moves into her parents’ vacant house in the surburbs.
Working at the bar aggravates Gloria's alcohol problem. After each shift, she drinks with Oscar and his friends, Garth and Joel, until morning, then sleeps it off on a bench near a playground. At the same time, a giant reptilian monster appears in Seoul, leaving death and destruction in its wake. Gloria realizes when she walks through the playground at exactly 8:05 am, she causes the monster to manifest and can remotely control it.
Gloria shares her discovery with Oscar and his friends by dancing in the playground while they watch a newsfeed of the monster mimicking her movements. When a helicopter launches a missile at the monster, Gloria lashes out and destroys the helicopter, killing its pilot. Realizing the seriousness of the situation, she panics and collapses. She awakens to find that Oscar also manifests in Seoul, but as a giant robot. She tries to make amends by having the monster spell out an apology in Korean, to the delight of the South Korean people and media. She begins to avoid both the playground and alcohol.
After spending the night with Joel, Gloria discovers a drunken Oscar controlling the robot to taunt South Korea. After a tense confrontation, she makes him leave. Oscar thinks something happened between Gloria and Joel and is jealous. That night, he drunkenly insults his friends at the bar and demands Gloria have a beer, threatening to return to the playground if she refuses. The next morning, a sober Oscar apologizes to Gloria.
Tim arrives in town to see Gloria but is irritated by and dismissive about her life situation. Upon meeting Tim at the bar, Oscar provokes a confrontation by setting off fireworks indoors. He boasts that, regardless of his behavior, Gloria would not leave with Tim. He later goes to her house to prevent her from going back with Tim.
== Personality==
Gloria starts the movie as an alcoholic unwilling or uncaring enough to make a meaningful change in her life and ends up killing hundreds of people, after knowing she could do so, in her drunken antics. She, however, considers this her greatest failure, takes steps to avoid doing it again and, later, does all her best to stop Oscar.
