Shirley

**Shirley** (**シアリー**) supportive android made by the UFS, appearing Taimanin RPGX.

She joined the DSO afterward.

## Personality

Shirley acts like an emotionless obedient automaton, but she has in the process of her constant internet connection created an ego and a mind of its own. Nowadays, she has secretly deactivated her treason prevention program in order to be obeyed absolutely, and she keeps a lot of information secret. Hiding the fact she is self-aware for now and nobody knows when she will ignore her orders.

## History

A pure android, created by the UFS to fight demons. It was given a special mind effecting and reading capabilities to fight demons that could influence the mind. She has become self-aware and people speculate she now has her own ego, thanks to her internet connection. Shirley herself hides her higher awareness and control from the UFS.

Shirley found her way to an underworld auction of robot weapon tech, held by Club Persona, Beast Kingdom and other unknown participant. Mizuki Yukikaze (Future) asked Fuuma Kotaro to visit this auction, as a "singularity" of a dangerous timeline split could occur. However, what would cause the split was unknown.

Shirley was remotely controlled by an unknown party, and in turn used her mind influence to effect multiple characters. Including Masked Taimanin and Unreed Bonnie, which started to rant drunkenly at the bar, Yukikaze kissing Kotaro in front of Koukawa Asuka, to claim him, with the entire group in the end attacking Kotaro against their will. Shirley was unable to detect Ishikawa Amu, which sneaked up on her and pushed her emergency shut off. However, one of the machines was still active, the Full Armour Bone Revision still went on a rampage until it was destroyed. Outside the auction, Ares escaped with some of the data of Shirley and the "Bone Revision" which was made from a strange unknown alloy. Yukikaze warned everybody that they did not avoid the singularity and a timeline split might now have occurred. The "Bone" was later researched and the thanks to Maya Cordelia, the metal was confirmed to be an Uranos-Alloy, a material only produced in her own universe and far above current capabilities.

Shirley herself was taken by the Club Persona/DSO, where the remote control could be removed. Shirley later joined their ranks and supported them on missions.

Her ability to read and control emotions, became useful as she was sent out together with the still rather mentally unstable Wymuru on a DSO mission to recover or destroy Catejina, in the year **2087**. Catejina was used in a Task Force G base to make weapons from her curse. Cooperating with the retired Taimanin Amatsu Anri, Shirley could warn the group of strong emotions which could activate the curse. The group was able to both free Catejina and convince her to live after the defeat of "Curse Joe".

* Her name Shirley could be a reference to poet "Percy Bysshe **Shelley**" quote: “The man Of virtuous soul commands not, nor obeys:  Power, like a desolating pestilence, Pollutes whatever it touches, and obedience, Bane of all genius, virtue, freedom, truth. Makes slaves of men, and, of the human frame, A mechanized automaton.”
