* CreepyGood: Her whole attitude is pretty creepy, especially the way she has more empathy for the aliens than the humans. As if this wasn't enough, she now shares the Alien's heightened strength (if not more, given a brief confrontation between her and one) and acidic blood. Yet, she does mean well, and helps the ''Betty'' Crew to get out alive.

* CameBackWrong: She is the product of a cloning experiment designed to bring both her and the queen larva she was incubating back to life. Even after [[spoiler:seven failed attempts]], there were still a few wires crossed. Physically, she shares the acid blood and enhanced strength of the aliens (though not to the same degree). Mentally, she's a fair bit more ruthless and indifferent than the original Ripley, though not totally devoid of mercy or empathy.

She also appears significantly older than the original Ripley (as by this point they seem to have given up the efforts made in the previous two movies to keep Weaver looking like she did in 1979) and has a somewhat unusual skin tone, discolouration of her nails and metallic teeth.
