_ABILITIES:
-Ability to change her height and skin tone. Unsure if she's able to change her hair colour drastically, so until canon demonstrates the ability I'll say she's able to change it to lighter/washed out tones (eg her white hair turns light purple when she makes herself resemble a Galra soldier).
-Super strength/above average strength.
-Healing through use of her own life energy. Doing this for anything more major than inconsequential injuries will leave her feeling very weak, and in a weakened state for a few days. She is only able to heal others, not herself.
-Skillful tactician, physical fighting, and diplomacy.
_PERSONALITY:
As the last female Altean alive, Allura doesn't simply hold the title of being the Princess of Altea, but she also must bear the weight of her people's legacy on her brow, a fate far more heavier than her crown once entailed. To her, even though the complete and utter annihilation of her planet and race had happened over 10,000 years ago, after being induced to a cryogenic sleep by her father in order to save her, the loss of Altea is still fresh in her mind and thus, affects much of Allura's character. As such, Allura presents herself oftentimes with a maturity far beyond her years. Having been trained at a young age, both in diplomacy and in military training, Allura is a skilled diplomat and tactician, taking her role as the remaining royal of Altea very seriously, and proving to be a very sufficient, worthwhile leader in the wake of her father's death. She is unafraid of facing dangerous situations, and plays an active role in the team despite not being a paladin of Voltron. She is not the sort of person who will sit back and allow others to do work for her, but will instead insist on taking charge in dangerous missions herself, even when her safety would otherwise be compromised. This isn't to say she has a death wish, but that she is someone who will act on her responsibility even if others worry for her safety on her behalf. For example, she does not hesitate to land on a large animal-planet known as a 'Balmera' to help escort its natives to safety -- even if that means diving headfirst in the midst of a firefight. She is unafraid of sacrificing herself for the greater good and for those she cares about, as evidenced at the end of episode 10 where, under duress and knowing that there was no way for both her and Shiro to escape, she sacrifices herself to ensure her friend's safety. She is a young woman able to make tough decisions, even if they are emotionally taxing, she demonstrates the ability to steel herself and go through with it, if it means success for the mission at large.
However, Allura is not entirely straitlaced or even as levelheaded as she attempts to put on. For starters, while it may seem that she takes herself and her role as the Princess of Altea seriously, Allura is still a young woman, and her personality still reflects the levity that comes with youth despite seemingly losing everything. She knows how to have a good time, and she is a personable individual that, while she is the leader of the team, she is also capable of being her teammates friends as well. She is kindhearted and warm in personality, and, provided that a person is not working for the enemy, she often does give strangers the benefit of the doubt and would be the first to try to approach a potentially hostile situation in a diplomatic and kind way. As evidenced above, she is hardly a pushover, but will not be the sort of person to intentionally antagonize anyone either (unless, they of course, started it).
Allura also can be a bit brash in personality as well. As Princess, she is unafraid to speak her mind, and can sometimes even come across a little blunt (after all, upon waking up after 10,000 years of cryogenic sleep, she still has it in her to comment on how 'ugly' Lance's ears are). Just as she is someone who is able to make tough decisions, she is also someone who will tell it like it is. Allura also sometimes reacts poorly in tense situations that catch her off-guard, and although she presents herself as the leader, and as someone who can hold it all together and who knows what she's doing, the reality is...she doesn't know everything, and it frightens her. She is someone who tries to remain strong so that when others look to her, they see a paragon of strength in a time of strife, and it is a personal sacrifice of her own emotional stake that she implements on herself. However, by being rather guarded in her emotions, it can oftentimes backfire. She misses her father dearly, to the point where she was easily manipulated by her father's corrupted AI. She is also bent on having her revenge against Zarkon, a desire that can leave her unthinking at times, for when she later confronts him, she doesn't hesitate to rush at him in a rather violent burst of anger despite knowing very well it would be a fruitless endeavor.
In short, Allura tries to epitomize what is expected of her as not only being the last of her species, but as the leader of the group of people who will, hopefully, save the galaxy. She is diplomatic, tactical, and serious, but also kind and youthful. Sometimes, her emotions get the best of her even when she tries to steel them away, and in truth...she's still hurting from the loss of her entire way of life, but it trying to keep up hope that she will succeed in freeing the galaxy from Zarkon's Galra Empire.
_ITEMS:
-Her armour/space suit
-Her dress
-Her jewelry (a circlet, earrings which double as communication devices which will likely be rendered obsolete in this world)
-Her pet space mice (note: they are intelligent and understand human speech, and Allura is able to communicate with them telepathically. But while each mouse does have their own personality quirks, canon has not expanded on them or individualized them in a way that would render them as appable characters considering they work very much in a unit.)
