Roll (Mega Man)

Roll is one of the main characters from the Mega Man series.
== Charactah Account ==
The third humanoid robot built by Dr. Light, and a close companion of Mega Man brought up as a "sister" of sorts. Being a housekeeping robot, she doesn't do much fighting on the field, preferring instead to use her smarts and help Mega Man from the home base.
Roll is shown to be sweet, kind, and optimistic. She is a caring individual with a big heart. She doesn't fight Robot Masters as much as her brothers, but she does if she has the chance. She is supportive and compassionate, especially to Mega Man, Proto Man, and Dr. Light.
However, in Mega Man 11, Roll seems to be a jerk to Auto: when the latter asks to take a break from his work in the opening, the former snarkily states that she does not need a break. In the ending, she demands that Auto works faster, even though he's overheating. Auto retorts that he will enter meltdown if he goes any faster, and that they will have to pick up his pieces for overworking him.

== Trivia ==
* Roll was named to match her counterpart's name ("Rock" 'n' "Roll"), with Rockman being Mega Man's Japanese name.
* Roll wears a simple red dress in most classic series games she appeared in, but her design was changed in Mega Man 8, making her look older. This older look was her retained design up until the release of Mega Man 9, where she has reverted to her younger design. However, for the cost of 200 screws, her dress can be changed into the one seen in Mega Man 8, and her entire Mega Man 8 design is one of her alternative costumes in Mega Man: Powered Up. Roll received a new design in Mega Man 11, which adds a white hoodie to her dress in addition to a black shirt, a different bow and a new hairstyle. She retains the youthful appearance of her original design in this new design as opposed to her older 8 design.
* Roll's music theme is Where The Wind Blows, known in Japan as Kaze yo Tsutaete ("Oh Wind, Convey it to me"). The song first appeared in the 1997 game Mega Man: Battle & Chase, and is also featured in Marvel vs. Capcom, the Rockman Complete Works version of Mega Man 6, and the two versions of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. The soundtrack Chiptuned Rockman has a chiptuned version of the music. The song was translated to English in the 2010 game Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars.
* In Mega Man Powered Up, Roll is hinted to have a crush on Mega Man, as Copy Roll makes note of this in his pre-battle taunt, using it to intimidate the original. She also implies it herself in her "Valentine Roll" description. Mega Man and Roll also appear to be an item in Tobe! Rockman. Her aforementioned character theme can also be taken as evidence that Roll holds romantic feelings for Mega Man within the main timeline. This was likely the basis that went on to develop all other iterations of Mega Man and Roll (or Roll equivalents) as being an item in their respective series. (See: Legends, Battle Network, and Harp Note of Star Force)
* According to an interview with the developers, Roll was going to be the damsel in distress that Mega Man would have to save from Wily, and she was going to appear as a giant Roll robot that would shoot lasers.
* Roll is one of only two female characters to appear in the first 6 Mega Man games, the other being Kalinka.
* Roll's nickname for Mega Man known as "Mega" from the Ruby-Spears cartoon would later be used in Mega Man 11.
* In her Super Smash Bros. for Wii U trophy, Roll is stated to have appeared in Mega Man 2. However, she did not appear at all, making the description an error in the game section.
