{{image|Alanik by Bernardo Curvello.jpg|side=right|width=250px}}
Alanik is a cytonic. She has more understanding of her abilities than Spensa, although she believes that she still has much to learn.{{book ref|sky2|8}} She is able to sense other cytonics and determine their location, and she is the only UrDail cytonic able to hyperjump without the assistance of a [[taynix]].{{book ref|sky2|7}}{{book ref|sf1|6}}{{book ref|sf2|1}} She is able to reach out to other cytonics and speak to them psionically,{{book ref|sky2|5}} and she is also able to place the coordinates of [[Starsight]] directly into Spensa's mind.{{book ref|sky2|8}}
She is a relatively skilled pilot, as she manages to get through the Detritus defense systems with her ship "miraculously" in one piece.{{book ref|sky2|8}} Her ship is similar in size to M-Bot, and appears to be a long-range fighter equipped with [[destructor]]s and a light-lance turret.{{book ref|sky2|7}} M-Bot calls her ship "not very advanced", although he also looks down on DDF ships;{{book ref|sky1|43}} her ship's database contains a large amount of information about her people's history alongside planetary charts and her own mission log.{{book ref|sky2|8}} It also contains an interference module that can stop some types of cytonic attacks.{{book ref|sf1|10}}
Afterwards, as the ship exploded, Alanik could feel Jorgen’s grief and anger. Alanik couldn’t feel Gran-Gran’s mind, and concluded that she and Cobb had made it away, but to an unknown location. Jorgen told Alanik that they’d have to delay returning to her people, as there were some things they had to do on Detritus first.{{book ref|sf2|epilogue}}
== Relationships ==
===Gilaf===

|Alanik thinking about Gilaf {{book ref|sf2|1}}
}}
Gilaf is Alanik's brother. He is the only family member she mentions by name, and he is the only one who doesn't agree with [[Unity]]'s methods. When Alanik comes to rescue Gilaf and his the rest of the holdouts from [[Hollow]], he trusts her enough to obey her instructions without knowing the whole plan.{{book ref|sf2|10}}
===Rinakin===
Rinakin trained Alanik in the use of her cytonic abilities, though he is not cytonic himself. Alanik found him intimidating at first, because of his intensity, but came to realize that's just the way he is. Though he expected a lot from Alanik in her training, she notes that he was never discouraging of her efforts.{{book ref|sf2|1}}
When Rinakin is captured by the Unity faction working with the Superiority, Alanik knows Rinakin well enough to see that they are somehow forcing him to promote their view.
===Arturo===
Arturo is initially suspicious of Alanik, and approaches her after Skyward Flight defects to come to ReDawn. He tells her frankly that he's worried she is using the humans and planning to turn them over to the Superiority for an advantage. Alanik is offended at the idea of cooperating with the Superiority, but admits to herself that his concerns are valid. Arturo warns her not to cross them, and leaves.{{book ref|sf2|12}}
Later, Alanik and Arturo talk about why they fight the Superiority, and grow to understand and respect each other's reasons. Arturo volunteers to accompany Alanik on the mission to rescue Rinakin, which annoys Alanik at first, as she thinks he still must not trust her. During the course of the mission she realizes he just wants to help. They engage in friendly conversation, and he helps her choose a callsign.
When Alanik is panicking over having killed another pilot, Arturo pulls her aside and pushes her to talk. He helps her think through her feelings and calm down, making sure she's alright before they continue fighting.{{book ref|sf2|21}}
