Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is she heavyset, thin, short, rangy?
Allenby is 155cm (about 5'1") and pretty slender. Basically she's compact and swift.
2. How old is she?
Seventeen.
3. Describe her posture. Does she carry herself well or does she slouch?
Generally she's loose or relaxed, not at all stiff, and has this sense that she's ready to leap into action at any second (because she is).
4. How is her health? Is she fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities?
Very, very fit. Allenby is both strong and fast.
5. How does she move? Is she clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid?
She's got a very energetic and peppy way of moving around, bounding from one thing to another and not easily tripped up.
6. How attractive is this character physically? How does she perceive herself in the mirror?
Honestly, I don't think Allenby gives a crap how she looks, given her choice of clothing and hairstyle. She's the sort of person who doesn't care so long as she's clean. There's kind of a tomboy cuteness to her.
7. Describe her complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred?
She's got very pale fair skin, being Swedish and all.
8. Describe her hair: color, texture, style.
Her hair is robin's egg blue and kind of thick and wild. It isn't too long--barely reaches her shoulders, even--and she rakes most of it over to one side of her head.
9. What color are her eyes?
Green.
10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features?
BURNING SPIRIT.
11. What are her chief tension centers?
Probably her hands and arms. She makes fists whenever she's emphasizing something in casual conversation.
12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does she have six of the same suit?
Allenby's casual outfit is a sleeveless, high-necked navy-blue spandex jumpsuit with a belt. Over that she's got on a raspberry-colored vest. She wears yellow gloves and brown ankle-high boots, and oddly enough a green charm on a necklace.
13. Do her clothes fit well? Does she seem comfortable in them?
Yes and yes.
14. Does she dress the same on the job as she does in her free time? If not, what are the differences?
I suppose "on the job" would be her trace suit that she wears in the Gundam... the only other outfit she ever wears is this sleeveless jumpsuit of blue spandex. So uh. There's really not much difference.
15. You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando?

Speech
1. What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse?
Her voice is midrange. In normal conversation it's a little deeper, and when she's excited or shouting it jumps up. (Based on the English VA, Carol-Anne Day--haven't heard her Japanese voice yet.)
2. How does she normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Does she talk easily, or does she hesitate?
Allenby doesn't hesitate when she talks, speaking whenever the mood takes her. Her volume level depends on the situation, but it's more likely to be loud than soft.
3. Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics?
She speaks in a very casual manner no matter whom she is having a conversation with, lopping off the ends of her words. Not particularly respectful either, as she calls Chairman Karato "old-timer" and barely acknowledges him when he tries to bring up the protocol breach she's committing.
4. What language/s does she speak, and with how much fluency?
...My private theory is that everyone in G Gundam speaks Esperanto, given that there never seems to be a language barrier ever. But she speaks Swedish too.
5. Does she switch languages or dialects in certain situations?
Nope!
6. Is she a good impromptu speaker, or does she have to think about her words?
Pretty good. She generally just says what she's thinking.
7. Is she eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change?
Not usually eloquent, but she doesn't have a problem getting her point across and she can actually be quite eloquent under certain circumstances, like when she tells Domon how to stop being a muttonhead.
Mental and Emotional
1. How intelligent is this character? Is she book-smart or street-smart?
Allenby's not a dummy, but she isn't what I'd call scholarly. She probably got a standard education in math, literature, science etc courtesy of the Swedish military and didn't pay any more attention than she needed to pass.
2. Does she think on her feet, or does she need time to deliberate?
On her feet. And/or in midair.
3. Describe the character's thought process. Is she more logical, or more intuitive? Idealistic or practical?
Intuitive. She rarely hesitates before doing things. Allenby views herself as a good person who does the right thing, and therefore when she decides to do something she sees no need to think it through.
4. What kind of education has the character had?
She was raised in military institutions, so I'm assuming she's had all the basics covered: history, mathematics, that kind of thing. How much attention she paid to any of that stuff is another matter.
5. What are her areas of expertise? What, if anything, is she interested in learning more about?
FIGHTING. She's also a pretty decent mechanic.
6. Is she an introvert or an extrovert?
Definitely an extrovert.
7. Describe the character's temperament. Is she even-tempered or does she have mood swings? Cheerful or melancholy? Laid-back or driven?
Allenby is cheerful and friendly, but she is quite determined to make a name for herself as a true Gundam Fighter. She loves fighting a lot and will gleefully jump into a brawl or goad someone into a spar if they're reluctant.
8. How does she respond to new people or situations? Is she suspicious, relaxed, timid, enthusiastic?
Allenby can sometimes be a bit nervous when being introduced to a group of people, but it doesn't take her very long to warm up.
9. Is she more likely to act, or to react?
ACT ACT ACT.
10. Which is her default: fight or flight?
Do you really need to ask?
11. Describe the character's sense of humor. Does she appreciate jokes? Puns? Gallows humor? Bathroom humor? Pranks?
Spontaneous humor that comes out of hanging around her friends. Mainly because her friends are all crazy Gundam Fighters, so there's a lot of material.
12. Does the character have any diagnosable mental disorders? If yes, how does she deal with them?
She pilots a Gundam. That should answer both questions.
13. What moments in this character's life have defined her as a person?
Her parents' deaths when she was a child. Meeting Domon Kasshu and discovering how to enjoy the Gundam Fight when she was seventeen. Putting aside her infatuation with Domon and encouraging him to declare his love to Rain Mikamura.
14. What does she fear?
Loss of control over herself, her mind especially. She's had more than her fill of it while subjected to the Berserker System, and having been infected with DG Cells later I think it probably stands out as the thing she most wants to never happen again.
15. What are her hopes or aspirations?
To win the Gundam Fight for Neo-Sweden! Actually, her greater aspriation is to win for herself, fighting on her own terms and making new friends through the fight. Neo-Sweden winning would just be a side effect.
16. What is something she doesn't want anyone to find out about her?
I'm not sure. It could have been her infatuation with Domon, but she confessed to that at the end of the series so that he'd express his own feelings towards Rain. She's not a girl with many secrets.
Relationships
1. Describe this character's relationship with her parents.
Short; they died under unspecified circumstances when she was about six. She doesn't say very much about them besides that.
2. Does the character have any siblings? What is/was their relationship like?
Nope.
3. Are there other blood relatives to whom she is close? Are there ones she can't stand?
I'd assume not, considering she was raised by the military after her parents' deaths.
4. Are there other, unrelated people whom she considers part of her family? What are her relationships with them?
I don't know if her new friends among the Gundam Fighters are close as family, though they're the nearest thing she has to it.
5. Who is/was the character's best friend? How did they meet?
Domon Kasshu, and they first met in an arcade's fighting simulator. Which blew up because they overloaded it.
6. Does she have other close friends?
Rain Mikamura and the Shuffle Alliance! And APPARENTLY Kyral Mekirel, Neo-Nepal's Gundam Fighter. It's not explained how or why, but they're a pretty close team when everyone goes to fight the Devil Gundam.
7. Does she make friends easily, or does she have trouble getting along with people?
It depends. Allenby's very friendly and good-natured, but she's more likely to befriend a fellow fighter. She also ends up pretty good friends with Hoi and Ming, the kids on the houseboat Domon stays on during the Finals.
8. Which does she consider more important: family or friends?
She doesn't have family, so I'd say friends.
9. Is the character single, married, divorced, widowed? Has she been married more than once?
Single.
10. Is she currently in a romantic relationship with someone other than a spouse?
Nope.
11. Who was her first crush? Who is her latest?
Domon Kasshu.
12. What does she look for in a romantic partner?
Being a good fighter, apparently. (It certainly isn't brains considering her first pick.) And the ability to TALK WITH FISTS.
13. Does the character have children? Grandchildren? If yes, how does she relate to them? If no, does she want any?
No kids, and as for whether or not she wants them... good question. She likes kids and hanging out with them, but I think she's more interested in being a Gundam Fighter. I can see her adopting, though.
14. Does she have any rivals or enemies?
Uh... any other Gundam Fighter at one point or another, for rival. Prime Minister Wong and the Dark Gundam could count as enemies.
15. What is the character's sexual orientation? Where does she fall on the Kinsey scale?
The Kinsey scale is fail. IDK, I guess she's straight.
16. How does she feel about sex? How important is it to her?
I think she'd be more interested in a barfight, but she'd probably enjoy sex if she had it. I doubt she thinks about it too often, though.
17. What are her turn-ons? Turn-offs? Weird bedroom habits?
Turn-ons: Being an amazing fighter. Turn-offs: Not being an amazing fighter. This one is hard to say; she's only attracted to one person in the series, and she doesn't make it obvious.
Beliefs
1. Do you know your character's astrological (zodiac or choice) sign? How well does she fit type?
July 24th. Leo is apparently masculine, extroverted, and also a fire / Sun sign so I guess that works. Her Chinese sign is Sheep, which... does not fit, to say the least.
2. Is this character religious, spiritual, both, or neither? How important are these elements in her life?
She doesn't seem particularly religious. Though given the censorship on the English version of G Gundam, there's no real way to tell from there.
3. Does this character have a personal code of morals or ethics? If so, how did that begin? What would it take to compromise it?
Allenby has a very personalized code of ethics. Basically, she pays no attention to the rules. For instance, she once showed Domon how to upgrade Burning Gundam with top-secret technology that Neo-Sweden had developed. It didn't matter that he was a fighter from another nation and therefore a potential opponent--she was helping a friend, and that's way more important. Allenby considers her personal bonds to be far more important than her national ties, partially because her military upbringing allowed for very few real friends and partially because she's not too fond of her government for causing that situation.
4. How does she regard beliefs that differ from hers? Is she tolerant, intolerant, curious, indifferent?
Most likely indifferent. Unless the belief is that you should get revenge on someone you lost to or kill people, in which case she'd punch you.
5. What prejudices does she hold? Are they irrational or does she have a good reason for them?
She's got a big thing against people altering or even monitoring her mental state, thanks to the Berserker System and her DG Cell infection later. Other than that, she seems pretty free of actual malice.
Daily Life
1. What is the character's financial situation? Is she rich, poor, comfortable, in debt?
On the payroll of the Neo-Swedish space defense forces, so her situation's taken care of.
2. What is her social status? Has this changed over time, and if so, how has the change affected her?
Gundam Fighter! While she wouldn't consciously use it for her gain, Allenby is at a bit of an advantage and much more able to indulge her habit of ignoring rules and laws whenever she feels like it. She'll instinctively flee from an altercation with the police, but given what Gundam Fighters are allowed to get away with, it's probably because she doesn't want the lecture and discipline from her crew rather than fear of legal retribution.
3. Where does she live? House, apartment, trailer? Is her home her castle or just a place to crash? What condition is it in? Does she share it with others?
Ah... we don't see it; assumedly it's some kind of military housing and it's probably not that tidy.
4. Besides the basic necessities, what does she spend her money on?
Honestly, probably not much.
5. What does she do for a living? Is she good at it? Does she enjoy it, or would she rather be doing something else?
She is a GUNDAM FIGHTER, and you bet she's good at it. She used to hate it until she met Domon Kasshu and realized how much joy there could be in the fight.
6. What are her interests or hobbies? How does she spend her free time?
Exploring whatever place she's traveled to for the Fight, particularly checking out any arcades and entertainment venues as well as the local cuisine.
7. What are her eating habits? Does she skip meals, eat out, drink alcohol, avoid certain foods?
Allenby's got a quick metabolism, so she can put away a lot at the table. We see her carrying grocery bags of dumplings to matches like she's going to eat all of them, so... yeah. She definitely doesn't skip meals and she's kind of an adventurous eater too.
