Robotessa Lore - Tumblr Posts

What was it like when you found J for the first time?

Well, Father had some broken drones in the garage for me to pick from... and I decided on a drone who was otherwise cosmetically perfect but her head was detached, it was an easy enough fix anyways. They wanted me to have a "playmate/babysitter" I think I was maybe 8 at the time

We built J together, and programmed her... Mother had bought a nylon wig for my drone, you know, so I'd maybe learn to braid hair on my "living doll" You know, because -Louisa impression- that little ragamuffin needs to learn how to do her own hair if she's just going to cry everytime I pick up a hairbrush.

-her voice returns to normal after a little laugh- I think that was the only kind deed my parents ever did.

I wasn't allowed to name J what I wanted to name her, not that I remember what the J initially would be for, but, I was allowed to pick a letter as "I wouldn't get as emotionally attached if something happened and I needed to replace her"... I chose J because of a blue jay that flew through my open window and ate cranberries and breadcrumbs from my hands

Mun's little thing behind RoboTessa's lore

story behind why RT came to be more or less:

So as you know J was in the cave, the one with the landing pod that she fell into, and found bone fragments and went to dig them up to give Tessa a proper funeral, but found a microchip / SD card that was a pale blue the same one they use for programming drone personalities so she went and found broken pieces from what remained of the labs and around copper 9 of her past incarnations, and used that because she needed Tessa, after losing everything, she needed something, someone, an emotional anchor and she kind of pulled a Dr Frankenstein but built herself someone she could love, and someone who would love her unconditionally and when Tessa powered up, the first thing she saw was J, and she knew she was safe
