## Background information

**Nori Doorman** is a posthumous character in *Murder Drones*.

She was the wife of Khan Doorman and Uzi's mother, who was euthanized by her husband sometime before the pilot episode after sustaining a fatal Nanite Acid injury from an unknown Disassembly Drone.

Despite being dead before the events of Murder Drones and not appearing physically during the show, Nori is implied to have a more pivotal role in the plot due to being the second known host of the **AbsoluteSolver**, which caused her code to become infected and passed down to her daughter, Uzi.

## Appearance

Nori strongly resembles her daughter Uzi, meaning that Uzi inherited many of her mother's traits. She has neon purple eyes, though Alice contradicts this, stating that Nori had yellow eyes. Her hair is violet, a slightly lighter shade than Uzi's, with a long bang parted to her left and tied up in a ponytail. She also wears a black construction helmet, a short black dress, and a black choker on her neck with the number 002 (her ID number). Her outfit is identical to Yeva's, who is the deceased mother of Doll. Uzi would later inherit Nori's ID number, 002.

The AbsoluteSolver's hologram also shows Nori holding a baby Uzi, most likely indicating that Uzi was only an infant when her mother died. In the hologram, Nori and the infant Uzi sport the Solver's three-pronged glyph in their visors, revealing that Uzi has been infected her entire life because she inherited her mother's code.

## Personality

Though anonymous, there are hints about her interests before her eventual death. According to her husband Khan, Nori was a notable "catch" to her fellow kind, implying she was well-liked by her fellow peers and very social, putting her in the reverse of her daughter's position, who everyone tries to avoid most of the time.

Furthermore, it implies she was relatively easy-going with those around her as photos of her during her time in the Cabin Fever Labs show that she didn't seem too concerned with possessing the AbsoluteSolver despite the potential risks of harboring it. This disregard for the AbsoluteSolver's potential risks resulted in her being fully possessed by it. Her husband described her as 'kooky and insane' due to her drawings of her prophecies, which were considered as nothing more than crazy ramblings at the time about the Disassembly Drones and singularities. This could imply that Uzi's erratic and unusual behavior is attributed to some of her mother's.

## Biography

While still shrouded in mystery, Nori was a worker at Camp 98.7 when it was still active, involved in some as-of-yet unidentified research project, presumably about experimenting with Solver-infected Drones. She bore the ID Tag **#002**. At some point, Nori escaped Cabin Fever Labs, which Alice took as her abandoning everyone else. After the core collapse that turned Copper 9 into an apocalyptic wasteland, Nori and Khan Doorman left the Camp to join the Worker Drone colony.

Nori began a peaceful life with Khan and their daughter Uzi before she slowly became delusional, seeing visions of Disassembly Drones, which she referred to as “sky demons” and nightmares of dangerous "singularities". She also tried to warn other drones about the coming dangers. She also told Khan to build doors to shelter themselves from the Disassembly Drones. Her prophecies would be proven correct shortly after: Disassembly Drones were deployed to Copper 9 to begin their slaughter. Nori was stung by one of their acid tails, leading to Khan euthanizing her with a wrench to put her out of her misery.

## Trivia

* Her name was first revealed by Liam Vickers at the Early Screening of *Murder Drones* "Heartbeat" in Berkeley, California.
	+ Liam Vickers likes Nori's hairstyle.
* A family photograph of the Doorman family is seen during the Pilot; Nori's face has been burned by what seems to be Nanite Acid.
* A closet labebled "NORI'S KOOKY INSANE STUFF" is seen in The Promening and Cabin Fever, where Khan stores her and Uzi's crazed ramblings.
	+ The closet contains drawings of Disassembly Drones, black holes, and variations of the AbsoluteSolver symbol.
	+ The closet also has a box labeled "HAPPY FAMILY MEMORIES... BEFORE NORI WENT KOOKY & INSANE!!!", implying that Nori was briefly free from the Solver's influence before it re-awakened within her.
