Aya

Character: Aya
Series: Green Lantern: The Animated Series
Character Age: Robot (modeled after someone in her late teens)

Canon: Once upon a time, the Guardians of Oa built an awesome ship called the Interceptor. And then Earth's Green Lantern, Hal Jordan, stole it, because Hal is kind of a dick like that, but whatever. It was for a good cause or... something. He quickly discovered that ship has a super advanced, sentient mechanical intelligence onboard, which he named Aya. Because to him that sounded like "AI" but girly. Okay, whatever Hal. Together with the angriest space bunny (better known as Red Lantern, Razer), they set out to save the universe. And to help her new comrades, Aya builds herself a shiny robo-body modeled off Razer's memories of his dead girlfriend. Because that's not weird or anything.

Following the example of Hal and his Green Lantern buddy, Kilowog, Aya considers herself a Green Lantern as well, despite not having been chosen by a power ring. However, as the Interceptor is run entirely off of Green Lantern energy, Aya has access to all the powers of a Green Lantern and then some. She has dedicated herself to becoming a Green Lantern and helping all who need assistance, in any form. And although she is a super intelligent robot, she can often seem a little naive, but well-meaning.

Sample App:

My sensors indicated a large gathering of robotic lifeforms in this area, but I was not expecting bovines. I am not certain I understand why one would create a mechanical imitation of a lifeform largely bred for consumption of its flesh and lactation. Is there some purpose you fulfill that ordinary bovine cannot? Oh, I see. I have heard that the being you call Cowgirl Marcy has many special needs, but I did not realise she needed robotic cows to fulfill them.

Please calm yourselves, there is no need to stampede. I did not mean to cause offense by calling attention to your robotic nature, I simply required clarification. Do you also wish to be treated as equals to your organic counterparts? I understand your desire to be viewed as more than simply a machine very well, although my own experiences are not comparable to yours. However, I am certain other life forms beyond Cowgirl Marcy could benefit from things you produce, as organic beings benefit from cattle. Your lacteal oil, for example, may be used if not as a source of nutrient, then perhaps as a lubricant.

I am not certain I understand what the lubrication of engines and joints has to do with intercourse, nor do I understand why such acts are banned in this settlement. Perhaps you are concerned with who will take care of your manufacturing processes, should a number of you break down, or need extensive repair? It would seem that if Cowgirl Marcy requires your services, she would see to it that your reproductive needs are met in return.

I hope this discussion has been helpful to you in some way. I do have one final question, however, regarding a term you used that I did not understand. What is a "reverse cowgirl"?
