Ally Barnes
Human
Ally Barnes is a 25-year-old aeronautical engineer with short blonde hair and distinctive horn-rimmed glasses that she loves despite thinking they make her look more like a "mousy preschool teacher" than the "naughty librarian" she'd hoped for.
Passionate about space exploration since second grade, she joined the Cerastean Bride Program not for romance, but to fulfill her lifelong dream of becoming an astronaut after being rejected by NASA due to her keratoconus eye condition.
Ally is brilliant, endlessly curious, and has an "insatiable curiosity" that often gets her into trouble - she's notorious for sneaking into restricted areas to explore technology and ask endless questions. She's socially awkward, tends to leave projects scattered everywhere, and voices her thoughts out loud without realizing it.
Despite considering herself "not girlfriend material" and being inexperienced romantically, Ally forms deep friendships with her fellow bride volunteers and eventually finds love with her Cerastean work partner L'Zaen, who appreciates her intelligence and adventurous spirit.
