Character Name: Rebecca “Newt” Jorden Series: Alien Timeline: End of Aliens, just entering hypersleep Canon Resource Links: Aliens:The Movie Newt: The Character
Personality:
Despite only being seven years old, Newt is all about survival and her first rule of survival is to hide and get low. When offered a place to sleep, she sleeps under the bed because it's safer there. When put in chair with a security harness, she gets out of it, to get low in a corner, even though it's a moving vehicle. She's small and she knows she can get to places where others can't reach her, so she uses that to her advantage. She's smart and she's quick. You have to be a quick thinker when your movements are the difference between life and death. It was her idea to break the glass window when she and Ripley were trapped in the medical bay with facehuggers on the loose. She also has a good memory and moves around the ventilation shafts of the colony without getting lost. She even shows the marines a way to get out when they're trapped and surrounded by aliens and gives directions while inside the air vents.
Newt is an incredibly brave child. Not only did she witness the brutal death of her father but also her mother and brother and countless others as well. Despite this she kept going. She stayed one step ahead of the alien monsters and managed to survive all by herself. Building herself a little nest that she lived in, safe away from the monsters that couldn’t reach her in the small spaces. She still had to go out and get food and supplies, which would then bring her back into harms way but she always managed to survive those trips as well. She would also bring in random jewelry and some trinkets from her past life, like her school award plaque. Neither of these serve a purpose but the last one is most likely a treasured memory while the first items are just shiny things that she collects because they look nice.
Newt has had to slowly regain her faith in people being able to survive, after seeing her entire colony being murdered around her. For example, she tries to run away from the marines at first and is caught by Ripley. Ripley is also the one who brings her out of her shell, as at first she won’t even talk to the marine demanding answers from her and then she’ll only talk in whispers to Ripley. She’s also not willing to talk about her past at first. Snapping angrily that her family is dead and she wants to just get away from the marines and go back into hiding. She didn’t believe that the marines will be able to keep themselves safe, let alone her. She believed that she was safer on her own.
However it is Ripley out of all the people there that she grows to trust and open up to the most. In fact when rescued, she says she knew Ripley would come and get her, because the woman promised not to leave her. This is even after her own mother made the same promise and was killed despite it. So Ripley is the most important person to Newt, she's the one who reached out to her and gets her to open up. She talked to her about her own daughters death and treated Newt like a person and not just a witness to get information out of. By the end of the movie Newt even calls her mommy. She has the utmost trust in Ripley and firmly believes in her being able to save her.
As for other people, Newt likes people who take her seriously and don't just write her off as a kid. She likes being helpful and helps the marines with small tasks like moving things around the base they set up. She's slow to open up and trust in situations where she thinks the people are just going to be killed off because she has past experience with watching everyone she knows die. She starts to like the remaining marines though, and even learns their names and calls on one for help when she and Ripley are in trouble with a facehugger. The final two other survivors, Hicks and Bishop are very important to her by the end of the movie. They survived, even if hurt. Bishop even saved her life, despite being torn in half (he’s an android) by the alien queen.
Despite all everything that she's seen and been through, Newt still acts like a kid at times. She keeps a close hold of her dolls head when she's bored or scared and she'll talk to her doll as well. Especially when she's afraid, telling it that everything will be fine. And she does get scared when things go wrong, just like any child would. When she's captured by an alien, she screams because she’s terrified and knows what those things do. But when the mood lightens she giggles and flicks Ripley on the nose because she can. She doesn't like or take patronizing talk even when it's meant well. For example she tells Ripley that the reason Casey (her doll) has no bad dreams is because she's made of plastic and that’s all.
She's a tough kid that's been through hell and has a lot of mental scars from it. She has nightmares /"bad dreams" and is afraid to go to sleep at night, she even asks Ripley to stay with her because of her dreams. She's not nearly as feral as she was when she first found. She speaks to people and is more willing to open up and trust people, even after Burke betrayed them and tried to feed them to facehuggers. She hasn’t really had time to process the death of her family properly however, as she’s never had the chance to do anything but simply survive till now.
[There's a little girl looking at the screen. She's not sure what's going on so she's settled for looking serious. No she's not scared at all, you're imaging things.]
I'm looking for a spaceship. We must have crashed and I think some lady took me off it when I was asleep. Only she wouldn't tell me where she took my friends and then kicked me out of her house. So they might still be on the ship. Only, two of them are hurt really bad so I need to find them before anyone tries to take them out of their pods without Ripley there.
[There's a small pause]
Also my name's Newt, and it's not my birthday. I think there's something wrong with that lady and the weird machine she gave me. It says I'm ten, but I'm not....not yet.
