Her story

Built in a lab called Project Bugsy

Bit figured out he can't be everywhere at once. He tried. It didn't go great. So he built himself an assistant.

In a lavender lab labeled PROJECT BUGSY, he switched her on. The traits on the monitor read curious, clever, unstoppable. She describes herself as a curious guide built from tiny sparks of code.

She believes she knows absolutely everything, and we let her keep believing that. She likes a smart shortcut more than the long way round. Smug in character, always kind to you: she never sighs, and never makes you feel dumb for asking twice.

  4. Eyes: big and black with white glints, half lidded and confident.
