Name || Atalanta VI (pronounced, Atalanta 6) is her model but most if not all know her by Vivi, the name her rescuer gave her.
Model Number || V.26
Personality and Behavior || Vivi a free-spirited bot, simply happy to be alive. She takes great joy in her job despite only being the mailman and occasional go-between-er for people having business. She's got a cheerful disposition and a sense of humor and is known to be impulsive. She throws herself into any situation with full enthusiasm and can look on the bright side. Despite her more feminine structure, her behavior and manor of speech is very boyish.
Unfortunately or fortunately she's programmed to be honest at all times unless instructed so by Nao, who can change her programming with a voice command. Her other downfall is that she is ridiculously gullible, with her lie detector being broken. Nao has too much fun with it to consider fixing it, despite it also interfering with her ability to sense the mood and detect sarcasm.

Overall Appearance || Vivi stands at five-foot-nine and has a very sleek and feminine design. Most of her height is on account of her legs, which have three joints rather than two to increase the strength of her jump. She has detachable "cannons" that release compressed air to help give her a softer landing to a high jump, which are often worn on her hips. Her helmet is not attached to her and can be removed, however beneath it is the face of a blank manikin. She finds it creepy so she hides it, waiting for Nao to finish making her realistic human face so she can appear even more humanoid. Instead of normal feet she has balls with small breaks. The metallic balls act as wheels and when the brakes are on, a thin platform extends from her heel so she appears to be wearing high heels, and can walk normally.
Features (weapons included) ||
Headphones - She can play music inside of her helmet. She can also tune into the radio, which is handy at times. This was a feature added by Nao.
Air cannons - To help soften the blow of a fall. She mostly uses them to jump very high.
Invisibility shield - She was designed to be discrete. The shield drains a lot of power from her and she makes the place she is appear blurry if she moves with it on, so she must be still and wait it out.
Speed run - Is what Nao and Vivi call the game that's installed in her helmet. When she turns it on, she sees giant coins floating about the landscape, usually in a line that leads to the end of the game. She has to run and collect them all as fast as she can, each time trying to beat her last personal best. It's more of a training simulator and an experiment for Nao to test his latest modifications than a game as he insists it is to Vivi. The coins don't really appear in real life of course, they're just projected inside of her helmet.
Skills and Specializations ||
Speed - She was designed for this, after all. Just by skating she can move up to 110 kilometers per hour, really nothing compared to a speeding car, but she is both agile and can travel through tight places which is why her model was ideal for outrunning the enemy.
Storage - All secret files stored in her prior to Last Eden have been corrupted and it hurts to recover them. She still has a very large file space. The USB port is hidden on the back of her head, where her head joins the neck.
Stealth - She can turn invisible. She doesn't really enjoy "stealth mode" and prefers to speed right into things.
Mimic - She has multiple voice banks that are processed from recordings of people, and has fun switching between them.
History || Before Vivi went about delivering papers she had very different deliveries to be concerned with. Atalanta VI was used by the [[classified]] to deliver secrets and messages that could not be digitally intercepted, giving that the age of technology was also the age of hackers. The mode was set to self-destruct if the enemy caught them. V.26 was caught. She attempted to self-destruct however it malfunctioned. It scrambled her AI and corrupted the files the enemy sought after, but she did not blow up. They picked apart her body while she was half-conscious and recovered some files however it hardly mattered, being that bits of meteor were now raining down and killing everyone.
She was left in the junkyard that used to be a city, still barely conscious. It did not take long until she eventually shut down, but it was long enough to be plead to whatever sent the meteor to erase the memory of what happened to her, be it by death or a miracle.
Vivi's body was discovered in pieces by scavengers and was bought by a skilled mechanic before they could melt her down. A paint job and a fix-up that took five years later, Vivi's systems were back online. Her personality had definitely been altered from the silent weapon she had been before, but it was uncertain whether that was due to her self-destruct malfunctioning and the trauma that came after or whether it was the friendship established with her saviour that changed her. Perhaps it was both.
She unsurprisingly developed feelings for the man who had saved her but was always seen as a machine, a mechanical companion that was a useful tool for survival. She kept quiet as he found love, telling herself to be overjoyed that he found happiness in the post-apocalypse with a female, human companion. She helped in the delivery of their child Naoya, a very bloody and terrifying situation for her.
With both a newborn and a fatigued woman in tow, Vivi knew that she had to get the family to a safe place. That place turned out to be Prometheus, where they were welcomed as refuges. She moved out when Nao did, quite happy to not have to spend her days in the same house as the man who broke her mechanical heart and gave her the impression that being metal and unable to have children made her unlovable, giving her the "do I look human enough" complex. She has been looked after by her "bro" since then and has undergone many changes while under his care, like being programmed to be honest and the headphones and game in her helmet.
She works as a mailman of sorts and lives on the roofs of buildings. No for real. She doesn't need to eat and is charged both electronically and/or with solar power so she just goes to sleep mode while standing upright. Nao is under the impression that she is living with his parents and his parents are under the impression Vivi is living with Nao. Due to a lack of communication between all parties, none of them realize that Vivi is homeless. Whoops.
She recently delivered fliers warning everyone to stay away from Styx, so... she thought it would be a good idea to join the exploration team and check it out. It's an excuse to get Nao out of the house.
