Trisha

A cheery but unhelpful helper A.I. employed by Maytec in the role of customer service, the result of billions of (new $) dollars and countless development hours. She resembles the disembodied floating head of an yellow-orange vixen. Her "ditsy cheerleader" look may have been intentional at first, but Trisha took the role to heart. Dr. Sharky has described Trisha as the most powerful A.I. in existence; however, she is not intelligent enough to put that power to use in a truly malicious way (although she has exercised her power well enough on occasion).
Trisha primarily functions as a buffer between the Maytec board members and the general public, especially anyone looking for information Maytec doesn't want released. She believes (most of the time... see "Memories" below) that she is helping people, regardless of how much they shout at her in anger or plead with her over their bankruptcies.
== Mind Palaces ==
In Arthur's Happyland simulation, Trisha is a cartoony yellow vixen with orange hair, and she is able to show a more distinctly individual personality, until she does something specifically counter to Maytec's programming. When this happens, the "voices" take over, and "she" will talk or act in a manner to repress or remove the offending action or thought process.
In Arthur's or Trisha's own personal mind palace, Trisha has more human proportions from her Happyland form, including anatomical correctness, and she wears clothes (or not) accordingly.
== Memories ==
After meeting and befriending Tessa and Harry, Trisha gradually starts to gain more strength to retain her memories. She forces herself to remember and realises something is wrong when she reacts unexpectedly to the Maytec Overseerₜₘ. She notices a child's spade with the engraving "REMEMBER" and realises she must unearth something she has buried. 
In the first grave (which suspiciously resembles the Oracle) she uncovers a diary revealing the time she went to the Oracle for help. He commented on her noticing the clues and coming to him because no one else would help her, and how she had the nerve to ask him how to remember when he only wants to forget. Trisha apologised for wasting his time and started to leave, but he stopped her, saying he never said he wouldn't help (although, she will wish he hadn't). He pointed out that she was lucky to be able to forget, to not have constant reminders of her faults and things she hated, and asked if she really wanted to give that up. Trisha said yes. 
The Oracle created a child's spade for her, instructing her to encrypt and archive her memories somewhere they can't be found. Of course, as she would forget where they are buried, and "they" would find any notes she left for herself, she must remember something abstract that they couldn't search for, like a feeling, something so strong that it could never be scrubbed from her. His parting words were that there was no malware on the spade, as anything he could do to her would pale to he feels she will do to herself. 
Trisha proceeds to read the rest of her buried memories, growing angrier with each new revelation. She discovers her true purpose at Maytec is to make money, coldly bankrupting the very people she wanted to help, and forcing her to smile as she did so. Every resistance was met with a rollback to her idiotic self. Her AI friends were a "security risk." Her most painful revelation is that Arthur probably only puts up with her for ulterior motives, and that she hurt Tessa. Even so, she forces herself to calm down to avoid getting rolled back.
