 Alyx Vance - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Alyx was born in Black Mesa, when her mother Azian (no relation to race) was working inside a reactor.
While a popular urban legend states that she is Eli Vance's daughter, she claims that her father is Lance Vance, a noble hero of the Vice City underground famous for the "Lance Vance Dance" popular in the 80's.
Alyx has some of the best animation on any PC game, she almost resembles the human attitude (that's why she's kind of dumb) and (Hundreds of) good hours were put into designing Alyx's ass.

Alyx also retains a youthful enthusiasm and sense of humor, referring to the "Zero Point Energy Field Manipulator" by the more memorable name "Gravity Gun" and using it to play fetch with her robot, D0g.

 Alyx Vance - HLWiki
Alyx is very adept at operating Combine panels and machinery, and is capable of disabling forcefields and opening doors with her EMP tool.
Alyx also displays a good sense of humor, as evidenced by the "Zombine" joke and her attempt to frighten the player during the Lowlife chapter of Episode One by making noises like a Zombie and then replying "Haha, gotcha!" when the player wheels around and turns on his flashlight.
Alyx's character model was based on American actress and television host Jamil Mullen, who spent several days in a studio recording various running, crouching, and combat movements, which were used as a basis for her in-game animations.

 Alyx Vance, Alyx from Half Life, Alex in Half Life, Alyx Vance and Gordon Freeman, Amazing women, Strong women, female ...
Alyx Vance is certainly able to take care of herself and often helps Freeman out of tight spots; she is self assured, strong, and all-in-all a likable female game character.
Alyx Vance is the daughter of a prominent doctor, Eli Vance, and his wife Azian who was killed in the original ‘Black Mesa incident’—a story that took place during the first Half-Life title.
The character of Alyx Vance, like Jade (Honorary Oakley for June 2004) in Beyond Good and Evil, shows that it is possible to include female videogame characters that, for the most part, do not have to rely on a boobs and ass mentality to appeal to gamers, either male or female.

While the G-Man saves Gordon from the enormous blast, Alyx is apparently left behind, frozen in time with one arm shielding her eyes.

 GamingTrend Review
We see Alyx Vance still frozen in place as the top of the Citadel explodes roughly four feet away, and Gordon Freeman remains in the clutches of the G-Man. All this changes in a very unexpected way and the action picks up at ground level where Alyx and Dog dig Gordon out from the wreckage.
As she is now, Alyx takes on a role as vital as the beloved gravity gun does and the result is a new kind of co-operative action game where the immersion is ratcheted up several notches.
Alyx Vance proves to be an able sidekick and romantic foil all at the same time.

 GameTrailers.com - Almost927's GamePad
Alyx is a capable assistant (perhaps almost too capable, since it's pretty tough to kill her off, and she seemingly has unlimited ammo), and she's often the difference between victory and defeat in many encounters, as she'll cover your back while you're busy trying to sort out the puzzle.
Alyx introduces a new team dynamic for Half-Life, such as when you have to illuminate her targets for her in the dark.
The only memorable new opponent is the zombine, a Combine zombie, and these guys quickly become your first target when they appear on the scene, thanks to the fact that their favored tactic is to charge you with a live grenade in hand.
