Ripley then started to feel sick and had shortness of breath; she thought it was a side effect from abruptly waking from hypersleep. Regardless, she then had Francis Aaron help her run a scan in the EEV and she then discovered she had been impregnated by a facehugger and had a Queen gestating inside her.
Ripley soon learns that during her cryostasis aboard the escape pod, she was attacked by a Face Hugger, and impregnated with a Xenomorph embryo. A scan using the escape pod's barely functioning medical apparatus reveals this baby is none other than an Alien Queen.
Ripley is taken to the Alien nest, where the Queen gives birth to a Newborn, a Xenomorph with human traits. The hybrid Alien recognizes Ripley as its mother and kills the Queen. Ripley escapes to the Betty, where she tearfully kills the Newborn when it is discovered aboard attacking the other survivors.
Upon her reunion with Ripley 8 (now exhibiting Xenomorph traits) the Queen had moved past the egg laying stage and developed a massive womb, Ripley's genetic "gift", according to the maddened Dr. Gediman. The Newborn emerges from the womb, the Queen's first live birth.
Amanda is the daughter of Sigourney Weaver's character Ellen Ripley. The story is set fifteen years after the events of the original Alien film as Amanda goes out into the dark reaches of space to find out what happened to her mom.

Who did Ripley have a kid with?
She eventually met and married her husband Alex, and during a layover between trips they conceived their first child. Despite the fact that it violated Weyland-Yutani regulations, Ripley allowed the pregnancy to come to term, eventually resulting in the birth of her daughter Amanda.
The alien-fighting warrant officer revealed her shaved head in the third instalment of the successful franchise, which had her stranded on a prison spaceship. “I think it brings out the faces and the vulnerability of these actors very much,” she said of her and her fellow cast mate's shorn locks.
In the Alien movie series, no mention is made of the concept of time dilation, and characters can withstand long voyages through space by entering cryosleep (a form of hibernation) in which the body is placed into a form of suspended animation for prolonged periods and therefore doesn't age for months or even years.
The queen erupted from her chest, but she still had enough strength to hold onto it as they were taken by the lead. Lieutenant Ellen Ripley, the last survivor of the Nostromo's destruction and the mission on LV-426, had died. With Ripley's sacrifice, the Xenomorph species had finally been brought to an end.
Unlike in the Aliens director's cut — where we learn that not only has Ripley lost 57 years of her life while floating through space in cryosleep, but she has also lost a daughter — Ripley's child is alive (albeit very old) in this treatment.
Ripley suspects that she has a Chestburster inside and has it confirms it, when 85 gives her an x-ray. Even when Ripley confronts the Xenomorph, it won't kill her because it knows she is carrying a Queen. X-Ray of Ripley showing the Queen Chestburster.
Unfortunately Ripley was carrying a Queen Alien embryo inside of her, which the company, Weyland Yutani, wanted to preserve to produce biological weapons. Ripley kills herself to avoid this. Centuries after the death of Ripley, scientists were able to clone her using DNA acquired from the incidents in Alien 3.
Below him appears to be one of the alien's many eggs, partially encompassing Brett's body. Fearing that Dallas will meet the same fate as Brett clearly has, Ripley uses her flamethrower to torch the resin, killing Dallas and sparing him the horror of being absorbed into a Xenomorph egg.
He was killed by a lone Xenomorph that was born in the prison in 2179. After Ellen Ripley arrived at the facility, she and Clemens became close, eventually sleeping together. Clemens was later killed by the Xenomorph in the infirmary where he worked.
In both versions, we are thus led to believe that Ripley was the one impregnated, but it was probably the intention to have one facehugger that caused all the events seen in the movie's opening. So it is really up to the viewer to decide what happened in either version, because neither gives a definitive answer.
The role of Ripley in Alien was originally written for a man, however, Sigourney Weaver's casting went on to change the portrayal of women in Sci-Fi. Ellen Ripley has strong leadership qualities upheld by her strength and resourcefulness, which were not seen in representations of women at the time.
When Ripley tries to escape from Ash, she suddenly has a nosebleed for no reason. This was actually supposed to tie in to an earlier deleted scene where she suffers a decompression injury, but the sequence was cut from the film.
Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley (officially designated as Ripley 8), reprising her role from the previous three Alien films. After having sacrificed herself to kill the Alien queen gestating inside her in Alien 3, Ripley has been cloned using blood samples so that the military may extract the queen embryo.
Two hundred years after the events of Alien 3, military scientists on the outer space vessel USM Auriga create a clone of Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) using DNA from blood samples taken before her death. The Alien queen's DNA was mixed in with Ripley's, and the clone grows up with an embryo already inside it.
Ripley (ID# 759/L2-01N) is born in Olympia, Luna, UA. She was 30 when Alien takes place (June 2122). In Aliens and Alien3 she's 87 in birth years, but still essentially 30 years old.
Alien is set in the year 2122, which means this Alien prequel series is set in the early 2090s, much closer to Prometheus and Alien: Covenant in the franchise timeline. FX's show is the first project in the Alien franchise to take place on Earth.
Sigourney Weaver has played Ellen Ripley in four movies in the “Alien” film franchise, starting with Ridley Scott's 1979 original “Alien” and continuing through James Cameron's 1986 “Aliens,” David Fincher's 1992 “Alien 3,” and Jean-Pierre Jeunet's 1997 “Alien Resurrection.” When asked which Ripley movie is the best, ...
Ellen Ripley later found Jonesy and put him in a carry case. At one point, Ripley was forced to abandon Jonesy to the Alien, but, while the Xenomorph was notably distracted by the cat, it did not attack it. Jonesy was later recovered and put in hypersleep aboard the Narcissus after escaping with Ripley.
