The **Laetificating Intelligent Android AX-099**, locally known as **LIA** and nicknamed as **Lia**, is a mentioned character in the Beyond Worlds and Scarlet Swan reboot, SWAN: Murder in San Fran. She is an android planned by Hiro and Tadashi Hamada after thinking that Léa Navarro drowned.

Later in the story, another version of Lia, named **099**, is introduced, when the main characters are in the Krei Tech facilities. Alistair Krei is the one who created her when he steals the documents and blueprints needed from Hiro and Tadashi.

Like Léa, Lia and 099 is based on Amree Aguinaldo.

## **Background**

Léa Navarro drowns in the ocean during one of Big Hero 6's missions in the Golden Gate Bridge, and in hopes of preventing the depression caused by Léa's passing, Hiro and Tadashi plans of creating an android that looks like Léa to replace her.

Hiro, Tadashi, and Red cancels the plan to make Lia and give her to the Navarros as a cover-up when Red thinks that Tori Hakucho would do just fine of pretending to be Léa while they investigate where the real Léa is- with Tori's words that Léa could still be alive.

## **Technology Specifics**

As her android self, she has synthetic skin, and was given biocomponents instead of bodily organs and parts- Lia has a lithium-ion pump regulator as her heart, a central processing unit (CPU) to act as her brain, optic units that lights up for eyes, audio processors for ears, and her "veins" are thin tubes so the lithium could flow freely through her body to power the biocomponents.

When Lia's synthetic skin is removed, her exterior is made out of white plastic, with some parts being colored in light gray. Whenever she takes hits, the area where she was hit or damaged loses the synthetic skin and regenerates just seconds after. A turquoise colored-LED on the shape of a circle could be found on her chest, where a human's heart should be, which displays the condition of the lithium- her "blood"- to check if it's running out (similar to a battery percentage of a gadget).

On the right side of her waist is an access port with at least nine chip slides, similar to that of Baymax's, and two of those chips are already in; one is colored purple with a star drawn on it to represent the chip for astronomy, and another one is colored red with a skull for combat. In times of an extreme damage or error, Lia would have a more robotic-like voice as opposed to her humanistic one when she malfunctions. She could easily ingest or drink lithium whenever she needs to.

## **Appearance**

Lia looks exactly like Léa; she has her brown hair cut short- about neck length- the only physical difference is that Lia has brighter blue (turquoise) eyes than Léa because of Lia being powered by the lithium-ion. She's also 5'2" in height.

She wears Léa's clothes, one of which is a purple glittered-jacket with a Cancer constellation on the left side, and a number 9 is around her left sleeve. Its "collars" are magenta in color, and it has a star-shaped snap button. Underneath her jacket is a light gray tube top with a black lining on the top. She's also described to be wearing black jeans and black boots.

As 099 in the Krei Tech Facilities, her hair is tied up into a high ponytail, and she appears to wear a bright blue sweatshirt under a platinum white dress that stops just above her knees with the Krei Tech logo depicted on the jacket's left sleeve. Lia wears white skin-tight stockings and white knee-high boots with heels- making her taller than both Léa and Lia.

## **Abilities**

* **Strength-** Lia could carry items no heavier than "five armored Baymaxes" weight as per Hiro, which could translate to over a 100 kilograms (220 pounds). In other terms, Lia could carry a fully grown panda without any of her limbs breaking.
* **Athletic Prowess-** Despite the fact that both Lia and Léa are initially clumsy, both possess great athletic abilities, especially Lia. She's skilled in archery and she has great aim because of her optic unit being able to focus and zoom in on targets. She could run and swim fast; she could do a lot of swimming tricks and it was mentioned that she could breathe underwater since she's an android. Since her body isn't made out of human flesh, Lia's punches, blocks, and hits are more hurtful than of a human's, also making her skilled in combat, and she's ironically light enough to perform acrobatics.
* **Frigid Temperature Tolerance-** Being an android, Lia couldn't feel the cold and therefore could handle even the most freezing weathers.
* **High Intelligence**- Like Baymax, Lia was given an access port by Hiro in order to program her with various chips to access information from, making her capable of learning things fast and executing them perfectly well. So far, the only chips that are in her access port are for astronomy and martial arts. She has about nine chip slots to take in more information, since Hiro wanted her to be as human as possible.
* **Luminescence-** Since the Xenorium is very bright, she could make her eyes glow in the dark, making them as built-in flashlights.
* **Vocal Imitation-** Lia has the ability to imitate voices whenever she wants or needs to. This is commonly used by Lia herself when she scanned Léa's voice in order to copy hers, with Hiro making it as Lia's voice default.

## **Trivias**

* Lia's name came from the running gag in the story that people keep mispronouncing Léa's name as "Lia".
	+ It was **Kit Aguinaldo** who named Lia as *Laetificating Intelligent Android*.
		- "Laetificating" means making someone happy or to cheer up, which is Lia's exact purpose story-wise; to make Hiro and the others think Léa is still with them to prevent depression.
	+ Her Krei Tech name, "099", is taken from her android model that Hiro and Tadashi concepted before Krei did.
		- 99 is Kit Aguinaldo's favorite number.
* Like Léa, her name was originally planned to have an acute accented letter I, which means the spelling of her name is technically "Lía". This is cancelled though, since whenever Léa's name is needed to be typed out into the PC or laptop keyboard, writers needed to copy and paste Léa's name somewhere else.
* Lia is based on the androids of Detroit: Become Human, sharing their model names and technology.
	+ She's also heavily based on Astro Boy from the franchise of the same name:
		- Both are androids that are copies of their human counterparts (Léa Navarro for Lia, and Toby Tenma for Astro).
		- Both need unique elements to power them; with Lia needing the lithium-ion and Astro has the Blue Core.
			* Also, both of their "fuels" are blue in color.
		- Both of their loved ones and creators (Hiro for Lia and Dr. Tenma for Astro) turn against them, realizing no one could replace their human counterparts but accepting them regardless.
		- There's only one difference between them and their human counterparts (Lia's brighter blue colored eyes due to the lithium as opposed to Léa's natural cerulean, and Astro's metallic spike hair as opposed to Toby's natural cowlick).

* A running gag in the story that Lia would look like she's drinking G Zero Glacier Freeze whenever she ingests lithium, as lithium looks like the beverage.
* Because singing and dancing aren't Hiro's priority, Lia couldn't sing or dance. Hiro programmed her to be as good as Léa when it comes to swimming and archery, though.
* Being an android, Lia doesn't have any fingerprints and therefore couldn't set biometrics in places. Although this is the case, she most probably could open Léa's phone even if it's biometric-recognition protected.
