Doris

Doris (originally D.O.R mk15) is a robot who is built for either retail or detective work. She is Minnow's girlfriend, meeting on a job when Minnow helped fix her faulty arm.https://tredlocity.tumblr.com/post/164296205250/and-minnow-forgot-to-buy-any-of-the-groceries 
As an entirely non organic being she can be safely teleported by Val's ship teleporter. Despite being a machine she appears to have similar emotions to the organic cast, although she has the option to turn off/suppress some of them. Doris,like the organic cast, has a soul.https://tredlocity.tumblr.com/post/674019301686198272 It appears Doris programming can be updated with new knowledge without requiring conversational learning, such as the time she was updated with lifeguard training.https://tredlocity.tumblr.com/post/171534772620
Doris can digest normal food for power, but the process is inefficent compared to normal recharging.https://val-and-isaac.tumblr.com/post/180548353247/do-robots-like-doris-eat-if-they-do-can-can-they
Doris weights as much a motorcycle and once broke/bruised Minnow's ribs with a ill advised tackle hug.
==Biography==
Doris's backstory https://tredlocity.tumblr.com/post/174491133050/how-was-doris-madewho-made-her-then explains that she was built as a generic robot and as her AI grew, she altered her appearance to her preferences. She attended robot high school virtually.
She briefly worked as a detectivehttps://tredlocity.tumblr.com/image/174506299485 but found the work lacking due to lack of sand bug related crime on the planet she is living on. After that she has worked in at least two different retail jobs, a general store and a clothing store.
