Copy the Code

Neptunia Game Maker R:Evolution OST - VS Formidable Enemy
==Summary==
Copy the Code (コピー・ザ・コード, Kopī Za Kōdo) is one of the antagonists of Neptunia: Game Maker R:Evolution. She is a Pirate Maker employed at Magicompany (Ar Co. in the localization) and is one of the members of the Copy Clique Trio. She is a programmer who makes a living off of analyzing sold games and copying their software before selling them as their own.
Copy the Code is shown to be a rather innocuous, big sister-type girl who tries to play herself off as more mature and levelheaded than she seems. However, she is also quite the loud mouth, and often exposits her own plans and methods right in front of her opponents. She is also a tad bratty, and she is often compared to Pipi in this regard, despite the both of them denying any sort of similarity personality-wise.
Copy the Code is the personification of game bootlegging and ROM hacking, as she creates games very similar to the ones she copies.
