==Summary==
Operator 21O is a major side character of NieR: Automata. She is a female model of the Type O (Operator) series of androids produced by YoRHa. She was created for the purpose of coordinating the actions of androids fighting the machines which have invaded the planet and analysing the information collected by those androids.
Spoilers
21O is the operator responsible for 9S. Even though she is cold and focused solely on her mission in the beginning of the game it is later revealed that she has the secret desire of creating a family.
After the defeat of Eve she volunteers to become a type B unit and participate in the large scale attack on the machines. However she gets infected alongside her comrades with the logic virus spread by the machines. As a result of this she loses control over her body. However gains a significant boost in power since the virus disables all safety limiters placed on an androids body. She also gains the ability to control nearby machine lifeforms.
She meets 9S at the top of the "God Box" resource recovery unit. After a battle with him where she begs to be killed, she ultimately finds her peace when A2 strikes her down from behind.

Attack Potency: Unknown. At most Mountain level+ (Operators aren't meant for combat and thus are comparable to Scanners like 9S who was able to harm A2NieR Automata; 2017; Ch 06-05: A2's Revenge (A & B) who survived an explosion with a 250 km blast radiusNieR Automata; 2017; Concert Script 3 (Beasts Who Kill One Another)) | Mountain level+ (Converted to a type B unit. Comparable to 2B who was able to harm A2 who survived an explosion with a 250 km blast radius), higher with limiters removed (The logic virus removed the limiters on her body. Thus her power is significantly increased)
Speed: At least Superhuman (comparable to 9S who was able to outrun Beauvoir's missilesNieR Automata: Ch 04-03: Advent of the Songstress (A & B)) with at least FTL+ combat speed and reactions (Comparable to 9S who can dodge lasers) | At least Superhuman with at least FTL+ combat speed and reactions (As a B model, she is comparable to 2B and is faster than before the infection)
Lifting Strength: Superhuman physically | Class T physically, higher with limiters removed (Stronger than before the infection. Comparable to 2B who can block punches from Engels.NieR Automata; 2017; Ch 01-03_3: 2B's Aerial Combat (A))
Striking Strength: Unknown. At most Mountain level+ (infected operators were able to hurt 2B and 9S) | Mountain level+, higher with limiters removed (Stronger than before the infection)
Durability: Unknown. At most Mountain level+ (not intended for combat, so comparable to 9S) | Mountain level+, higher with barrier (can no-sell attacks from 9S)
Stamina: Virtually Infinite (Is an android. YoRHa type androids do not need any fuel to function)
Range: Standard Melee Range, Extended Melee Range with a weapon | Extended Melee Range physically, Hundreds of Meters with energy balls, Kilometers with lasers
Standard Equipment: YoRHa weaponry and armor (Should have access to it, but never used it since an operator is not meant to participate in battle) | The sword she used during the assault on the machines. Lots of support machines of the type "Small Sphere: Gun-equipped"
Intelligence: Above Average (Is an Operator model tasked with information analysis and has plenty of experience in this field) | Average (Despite having lost control over her body she appears to have gained skill as a fighter. The virus however likely has a detrimental effect on her analytical abilities)
Weaknesses: Operator models are not constructed for battle, she was never depicted fighting in this state however, so it cannot be confirmed in how far this has an impact on her fighting prowess. As an android she is affected by electromagnetic waves, Logic Viruses, and hacking. The body she is currently in dies if the OS chip is removed. | As an android she is affected by electromagnetic waves, viruses, and hacking. The body she is currently in dies if the OS chip is removed. The logic virus has rendered her berserk and taken over her body so that she wishes to be killed. The Pod lasers can only damage through heat and thus certain materials including heat resistant materials can take reduced to no damage from them.
Note: A2 surviving the destruction of Mt. Ka'ala cannot be considered at full strength because of her distance from Number 4. The inverse square law must be applied to calculate the energy.
