She is a laboratory experiment pony. ALI stands for many shorts as “Artificial life intelligence”. She differs from basic AI (Arttificial intelligence) in many ways, one of the most important is that she is not a full droid, but has biological base that is only “improved” by computer technology.
Numbers by her name have meaning too!
0 is for new beginning, creation, fresh start, completed circle. After many prototype fails, this one is ready to be finished.
5 stands for changes that are in progress. She still need a lot of work.
8 as “Prepare for completion” phase. Shortly, her circuits will be restarted and shi will finally be finished.
This was inspired by number meanings I googled.
She can learn pretty fast.
She has limited memory space.
Her magic is powered by electric discharges in her circuits, mistake by her creators.
She can’t reproduce naturaly.
And as she also have emotions and self identity, she gives herself name Alice.
