Character: Jenny Wakeman, aka XJ-9
Series:
My Life as a Teenage RobotAge: chronologically 5 years old, but designed as a teenager
Canon: Our story takes place in Tremorton, a pleasant town with advanced technology and old-fashioned sensibilities. And a tendency to be attacked by enormous monsters, robots, or aliens on almost a daily basis. But Tremorton hasn't been completely leveled yet, because it has Jenny. Built by Dr. Nora Wakeman, "XJ-9" is a six-and-a-half-foot-tall robot girl packed full of handy devices and heavy firepower, designed to protect the Earth from all manner of threats. But mentally, XJ-9 resembles nothing more than a regular teenage girl.
In personality, Jenny is usually cheerful, enthusiastic, and friendly as they come, especially with her best friend Brad and his little brother Tuck. But at times, the poor girl is torn between her duties and her desire to just be a normal teenager. Jenny wants desperately to fit in with the other students at her high school, but there are still aspects of human society that she doesn't quite get -- and it doesn't help that she's made more than a few enemies during her time fighting evil. She can occasionally be selfish, temperamental, or boy-crazy... but when the Earth really needs her, Jenny won't hesitate to leap into action.
Sample Post:
Omigosh, I'm finally here! Summer camp! A real live summer camp! I can't believe Mom is finally letting me take a break from the hero work! Oh, Mom, you're the best! -- Mom? Mom, are you there? ...That's funny, the call got cut off. But the laptop they gave me is still connecting...
Oh, well, what matters is I'm here, on my very first trip to a summer camp! Brad and Tuck are gonna be so jealous when I get back! Oh, I can hardly wait! I'll get to go swimming, and make s'mores, and go on hikes, and hang out with all the other campers! ...Of course, I'd probably sink rather than swim. And I can't actually eat. And I might scare off the wildlife, or trample the plants, and everyone will probably think it's weird that I'm a robot--!
N-No, don't be silly, Jenny! Everything will be fine. I'm getting close to the main camp, after all, and nothing bad has happened so far! And none of the animals seem to mind me. Even those zombies aren't -- Z-Zombies?! What's going on here? And what kind of octopus is that supposed to be?! Is this some sort of evil trap? It's like I've walked into a drive-in horror flick! And -- oh, no, the zombies are marching toward the camp! I have to do something! So much for taking a break from the hero work...
Maybe I can get more information before I move in. I'll use the laptop to... H-Hey! How dare you! What kind of laptop makes such... perverted comments to the user? I'm not that kind of robot! I-I don't think my parts can shift that way anyway... Well, fine! If you're going to be like that, I'll just connect to the web on my own! A quick search on the camp's name shoulsdasldkjflksajdfksldfa;j
The firewall, it does nothing! What kind of crazy place is this?! Okay, forget gathering information. I guess it's time to do things the old-fashioned way. Hey, zombie creeps! Try picking on somebody with a titanium-plated skull! Hi-YAH!
