Ripley 8
Ripley 8 is the main protagonist of the 1997 science fiction action horror film Alien: Resurrection. She is a clone of Ellen Ripley, star of the first three Alien films, and is portrayed by Sigourney Weaver as an adult (who also played Ripley in the previous films), and Nicole Fellows as a youth.
Ripley 8, also known as Number 8, was the eighth and first fully successful clone of Ellen Ripley created by the United Systems Military aboard the USM Auriga. Although she was essentially no more than a by-product of the top-secret USM project to resurrect the Xenomorph XX121 species, the scientist in charge of the program, Dr. Mason Wren, ultimately decided to keep her alive for study. Ripley 8 subsequently became involved in the Xenomorph outbreak and infestation aboard the Auriga.
While outwardly human, cross-contamination of DNA between Ripley 8 and the Xenomorph inside her endowed Ripley 8 with several Xenomorph attributes; essentially, she was neither human nor alien, but something in between. She was one of four survivors of the Auriga incident, along with John Vriess, Johner and the Auton Annalee Call.
Following the destruction of the original Xenomorph Hive and the derelict on Acheron (LV-426), and the death of the Runner on Fiorina "Fury" 161, Ellen Ripley sacrificed herself to destroy the last known Xenomorph specimen in existence — the embryonic Queen developing inside her. With the destruction of that embryo, all hope for developing the Xenomorphs as biological weapons seemed lost.
