Emma

Themesong: The Marble Machine By Wintergatn

Stratus's first bot. Not a cytherling

Emma was created by Stratus when he was still inexperienced in the field. She was a simple automaton who can not do much more than perform simple tasks and comunicate in a very crude form of draconic. Eventually, Stratus began to help her get better, and eventually she became more skilled, but having to be completely "turned off" and is unable to react to her surroundings eventually started to frustrate her. She likes to make outfits for other dragons and dress them(yes. she will, with their permission, take their current clothes completely off and put on new clothes in its place.). She also does not like to fly and will act more automatic when visiting other clans because she gets uncomfortable in formal meetings. She loves to dress dragons. She also loves meeting other bots and bot makers/roboticists. Because she still has a few "bugs", she does not have a problem with personal space, personal content, physical contact that would make other dragons uncomfortable, long, often frustratiin conversations, yarns, and interviews. This can often upset other draons if they are not prepared. Her "brother" is Henry, who first Met Stratus while in a clan meeting and joked about wishing for a sister. Emma was Stratus's gift for Henry.

automaton notes on her: Her gears tend to get rather loose for some reason. whenever they fall out, something in her stops working until the gears are put back into place. These are most commonly her mouth, voice, and legs. her arms and head also stop moving from time to time and she can suddenly bet blocked up and start having problems moving her entire body as it begins to make abrupt motions. I need to look for a dragon to help her fix herself if she breaks when i am not there to help her.
