I feel like this deserves the Knuckle's Quote from the animated Sonic Boom show.

What stereotypes does Aloy break and how does she break them?

It's not been officially translated yet, but one excerpt apparently says something like "With her freckled cheeks and her austere appearance, Aloy has managed to redeem an industry… Aloy is neither mother nor spouse, nor supporting actor or helper, but a strong and courageous woman who, in a world where gender differences no longer exist."

TLDR: She's not a supermodel and she's a protagonist.
