Vala is a minor character in Horizon Zero Dawn.
History[]
The daughter of the War-Chief Sona, Vala grew up competing with her older brother Varl for their mother's favor, with Varl describing them as not very close.[1] Vala enjoyed decorating her spear with her favourite Golden Blooms, despite Sona's insistence that it was useless.[2]
Vala was one of the competitors who would be participating in the Proving alongside Aloy in order to become a Brave. Unlike the other participants, Vala was friendly towards Aloy and defended her from harassment, especially that from Bast. Vala believed that she, Aloy and Bast were the ones most likely to win the Proving.[3]
Vala and Bast finished the Proving just behind Aloy, with Vala excited at Aloy's victory. However, just as Aloy was declared the winner, the group was attacked by the Eclipse. Aloy defended the Nora while Vala and Bast guided them to an escape route, however, Vala was shot to death by an Eclipse member with a Deathbringer Gun.[4]
Legacy[]
Vala, along with Bast, are remembered by the Nora as heroes for sacrificing their lives to protect the other Proving candidates. Aloy says that she liked Vala, and believes they would have been friends.
Vala was later avenged by her family and Aloy during the Nora's crusade against the killers.[5]
Varl continued to speak fondly of Vala, telling Zo[6] and Erend[7] about her. After Varl's death, she planted Golden Blooms at his grave in his honor, remembering Varl sharing the story of Vala decorating her spear with them.[8]
