R&D Unit Yellow

R&D Unit Yellow, or simply just Yellow, is one of several hundred yellow Pikmin enlisted among the ranks of Outer Heaven, distinctly as part of the Research and Development Team. Although Yellow himself does not possess any sort of special traits that differentiate him from the rest of his kin (he does not even have a proper name), it is the important distinction of this Pikmin's relationship with the Void entity known as Sarvoite that clues us in on the identity of this particular Pikmin.
== Personality and traits ==
Like the rest of his kin, Yellow is a natural-born tinkerer. He has an almost compulsive affinity to invent and create, and is incredibly inquisitive and observant when it comes to new phenomena. Although an entirely competent engineer, some of his inventions tend to devolve into near useless gags and practical jokes he deems hilarious (ex: the fart gun). He is never reprimanded for this behavior because the entirety of the R&D team also finds shit like this bonkers, so they just roll with it. Despite his flair for the absurd, Yellow is not tone-deaf, and responds to serious situations with an almost grim determination.
Yellow, as stated before, does not possess any unique physical traits that sets him apart from his brethren. He wears the standard issue Outer Heaven uniform, specifically the uniform tailored for his Unit. He possesses a bud at the top of his stem.
== History ==
Yellow is no more distinct from the rest of the yellow Pikmin in terms of origin. He was generated from the yellow Onion, and enlisted in the Research and Development Team. It was simply by happenstance that this particular Yellow was snatched and taken by Sarvoite, who sought the aid of a brilliant mind in order to complete her Lady's plans for expansion of the Void. Yellow was initially adverse to constructing a weapon, but coercion in the form of some admittedly very nice gifts (holy shit is that zirconium) convinced Yellow to begrudgingly follow along.
As he worked, he learned more about Sarvoite and the kind of person she was. Unlike her apathetic captor, Sarvoite was a surprisingly sympathetic presence that Yellow couldn't help but worry about. To reward his diligent work, Sarvoite ensured that Yellow was properly fed with only the finest of purchases from the local Denny's. Their relationship actually turned rather jovial, with the two getting along quite well. Although Yellow thought not much of it, this relationship would prove incredibly influential on Sarvoite's outlook on life; Yellow might have been working to free himself and return to Mother Base, his presence would unintentionally free Sarvoite in kind.
After his work was complete, Sarvoite let him return back to his home on Mother Base. However, Yellow was heartbroken to see Sarvoite use the weapon he made to launch an attack on the rest of the Zones, including Mother Base. At the time, he was unaware of another presence in Sarvoite's mind, so he had believed that Sarvoite had betrayed him. Fleeing the scene and eventually confronting the true source of the malice, Yellow utilized his acquired knowledge of Void material's vulnerability to electricity to subdue the assailant. Though he had learned of Sarvoite's innocence, it would require external help from Mih in order for the two to finally reconcile. From then on, business went on as usual for Yellow. He fell back into the ranks of Outer Heaven, blending in with the endless sea of yellow he calls home. However, his efforts as an individual cannot, and will never be understated, at least in the eyes of Sarvoite.
