* {{Expy}}: Of [[WesternAnimation/FinalSpace KVN]], in a way. Though it's heavily DownPlayed in that Bowie isn't as annoying as KVN and, unlike Gary, Iris actually ''likes'' having him around and cares about him. Still, Bowie is a MotorMouth whose constant blabbering can easily ruin the dramatic tension in an otherwise serious scene, he's a RobotBuddy to an otherwise lonely protagonist (though Iris also has June, who's implied to be the ''only'' human being she interacts with), he has SkewedPriorities and he's utterly ''terrible'' at reading a room. And while KVN was voiced by Creator/FredArmisen, the fact that Bowie is voiced by Creator/OlanRogers himself further reinforces the connection to his WesternAnimation/FinalSpace counterpart.

Him downloading a bunch of music in the hanged couple's house using the remnant Wifi still running in the building also lets him download Ryan's message to Iris, letting her know to head to the old launch site to meet him.

* OldSoldier: He's old enough to have been the best friend of Iris' father, who went missing when she was still too young to remember him. Considering that Iris appears to be in her early 20s, and that KS visibly looks aged despite being an alien, he definitely qualifies.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: He only introduces himself as "Kingslayer".

Added tropes for Bowie.
Added DiffLines:
* CuteMachines: And ''how'' ! He's an adorable little robot with an egg-shaped body, a pair of cat-like ears, and a [[TVHeadRobot screen for a face]] that can display some really cute expressions.

* {{Keet}}: Small? Check. Hyperactive? Check. Annoying-yet-loveable? ''Double-check''. Bowie is basically the only source of humor and levity in what is otherwise a ''very'' bleak setting.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Gets the robotic equivalent of one late into the pilot, when he suffers a nasty hit that leaves a noticeable crack on his screen.
* RobotBuddy: He follows Iris around whenever she ventures into the wasteland, and she's shown to be quite fond of him in return.
* TVHeadRobot: His face is a little screen that adapts to the emotion he's trying to convey in a given situation.

Started adding tropes
Added DiffLines:
* GoodParents: The only thing that matters to her is that her son is safe. Iris' sacrifice is the reason why June became her best friend, and when they have to say goodbye to eachother, June finds solace in the fact that, no matter what happens, her child is alive and well thanks to Iris.
--> '''June:''' ''"My son escaped this world. He's alive. My job is done..."''
* IOweYouMyLife: She owes Iris her ''son's life'', which, as a loving mother, she considers even more important than her own life.
* IChooseToStay: After Iris receives a message from her uncle urging her to go back to the old launch site (which requires going through a deadly storm), June states that she won't be going with her, accepting her fate in the wasteland. After a last farewell, June only asks Iris not to forget her, which Iris promises she won't.

Added DiffLines:
* AffectionateNickname: During a dialogue with Iris, June calls him her "little starman".
* ChildrenAreInnocent: He's just a little boy who didn't have the luck to be among those allowed to board one of the ships leaving Earth. Iris took pity on him and (after a moment of hesitation) gave him her own ticket because she ''knew'' the poor kid would most certainly die should he remain on Earth.
* NoNameGiven: His name isn't listed at any point, either in or out of universe. June herself only refers to him by an AffectionateNickname when she mentions him during a dialogue with Iris.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: He only appears on screen for less than a minute, has no spoken lines and we don't even get to learn his name. But Iris' decision to give him her ticket is what kickstarts the story and the reason why she's stranded on Earth in the first place.
