History Main / RobotGirl

* ''Literature/SpaceAcademyDropouts'': Trish becomes one of these once she successfully acquires a Space Cadet Sally bioroid body (implied to be a sexbot). She immediately attempts to break it in with Vance, which causes him no end of consternation.

* 42 of ''Webcomic/{{Kiwiblitz}}'' is this, imported from a friend of Mr. Frohlich who lives in Japan.

* The main character in ''VideoGame/TheGuardianLegend'' is a robot girl that [[SpaceshipGirl transforms into a spaceship]]. She's given no name in the English version, though in Japan she was named Miria.

** Being a SpiritualSuccessor to the ''Mega Man'' series, ''VideoGame/MightyNo9'' brings us Call, [[MakingASplash Mighty No. 2 Cryosphere]], and [[PsychoElectro Mighty No. 3 Dynatron]]. [[BloodKnight Ray/Raychel]] is also this, though it isn't as obvious.
** Another SpiritualSuccessor, ''VideoGame/TwentyXX'', has Nina, the Mega Man-equivalent player character.

* In ''Videogame/MassEffect3'', when Shepard travels to the Mars base, s/he encounters a Dr. Eva, who is actually a robotic infiltrator sent by Cerberus. Eva's body is disabled and taken back to the Normandy to recover data. [[spoiler: Eva reactivates, but EDI, the ship's AI, is there to stop her. In the subsequent AI combat, EDI seizes control of Eva's body and subsequently uses it as a physical avatar.]]

* In ''VideoGame/NierAutomata'' there are the [=YoRHa=] unit's, combat androids sent by the surviving humans on the moon to combat the alien robots that has invaded Earth, the female unit 2B being the main character. [[spoiler:Devola and Popola]] also return from the original ''Videogame/{{Nier}}'', or to be more exact, [[spoiler:two Devola and Popola model robots who are unrelated to the previous ones.]]

* [[ThatOneBoss Alisa Boskonovitch]] from ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}} 6''.

* Eve from ''WebComic/{{Applegeeks}}'' is a robot made, predictably, from a Mac computer to be a girlfriend for Hawk. Some of her first actions in life are wrecking Alice's (Windows) PC and ''detonating an Apple store'' because she was ''jealous''.

* The [[WesternAnimation/MegaMan American Mega Man cartoon]] made Roll not only older and more attractive looking, but also a serious ActionGirl, which Mega fails to recognize. In the first episode, she one-shots Fire Man ''with a vacuum!''

** The limited series ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'s Metropolis'' involves alien nanotech causing [[GeniusLoci the city itself to become self-aware]]. She falls in love with [[Characters/SupermanJimmyOlsen Jimmy Olsen]]. [[WeirdnessMagnet Of course]].

** Janet is a subversion/aversion/parody. She's a walking, talking, infinitely more helpful version of intelligent personal assistant programs like Siri or Alexa (Eleanor even calls her "Busty Alexa" at one point), providing information about the afterlife to residents of [[{{Heaven}} the Good Place]]. However, she's neither a robot nor a girl; rather, "she" is a genderless interface for the celestial mainframe. The human characters repeatedly refer to her as one and/or the other, and Janet [[InsistentTerminology always has to correct them]].

** ''VideoGame/Persona5Strikers'' adds yet another one named Sophia, codename: Sophie.

* Most of the {{fembot}}s in ''Franchise/GhostInTheShell'' count, as do female [[FullConversionCyborg full-body cyborgs]], including the lead character, Major Motoko Kusanagi -- the difference being that the former are still [=AIs=] which aren't truly intelligent, while full-body cyborgs are humans who have had most or all organic parts of their bodies replaced with mechanical substitutes, up to and including most of their brains. The Tachikomas also share a lot of the tropes associated with the archetype, despite the fact that they have [[SapientTank tanks for bodies]].

* Most of the {{fembot}}s in ''Franchise/GhostInTheShell'' count. As do female full body cyborgs, including the lead character, The Major (Motoko Kusanagi). The difference being that the former are still [=AIs=] which aren't truly intelligent, while full body cyborgs are basically human brains in android or gynoid (or, in at least once case, a box on wheels) bodies. The tachikoma also share a lot of the tropes associated with the archetype, despite the fact that they have tanks for bodies.
** Actually, even the brains are mechanical. With absolute replacement of every organic part of a person's body with robotic substitutes being possible, the term "ghost" had to be coined to refer to what makes a human still human even when their body isn't.

* Most of the female hosts in ''Series/WestWorld'' are young women.

** Pictured above: Aigis from ''VideoGame/Persona3''. [[UpdatedRerelease FES]] added Metis in "[[PlayableEpilogue The Answer]]," though strictly speaking, [[spoiler: she isn't actually a robot, but a personification of Aigis' internal conflict.]]

* Olimpia from "Literature/TheSandman" by Creator/ETAHoffmann. Perfectly human in appearance, although a bit too precise in music and singing, and behavior somewhere in the UncannyValley.

* ''ComicBook/AphroditeIX'', [[Comicbook/{{Witchblade}} ''Aphrodite IV'']] and [[ComicBook/{{Cyberforce}} ''Aphrodite V'']].

* The ComicBook/FantasticFour's receptionist is a robot named Roberta. She has a human-shaped upper body, so she looks human sitting behind her desk, but below that she has wheels. In the strictly [[AlternateContinuity non-canon]] ''ComicBook/FinFangFour'' comics, she's dating the hulking but gentle robot Elektro; it's very cute.

* Another example involving ComicBook/JimmyOlsen started with him finding a maiden in a snowbank, apparently a young woman from Viking times who had been frozen for centuries. It turned out that "Helga" was actually a gynoid and that Jimmy's fan club were using it to make Lucy Lane jealous.
* [[RobotMaid Bonnie]] of ''Comicbook/LastManStanding'' is one.
* During ComicBook/LexLuthor's run as the star of ''Action Comics'', he had a robotic Lois Lane for a sidekick.
* The protagonists of the ''{{ComicBook/Livewires}}'' miniseries include three lovely Robot Girls (sorry, [[InsistentTerminology Construct Girls]]), each one a different take on this trope, from the snarky CuteBruiser to the [[TinMan nearly-human viewpoint character]].

** Jocasta from ComicBook/TheAvengers, created by the evil male robot Ultron to be his bride; and later, Alkhema, who had a similar origin. Neither of these relationships worked out. Later on, Ultron showed up in female form himself.
** Detective-Inspector Karima Shapandar (aka Omega Sentinel) from the Comicbook/XMen. She was an unwilling victim of the Sentinel program's brief foray into converting normal humans, but her love for her mutant boyfriend Neal Shaara (Thunderbird III) allowed her to overcome her programming. She even joined the X-Men and became a more dedicated member than he was... until [[Comicbook/JonathanHickmansXMen the mutants declared themselves a separate nation]] and shut her out. When her Sentinel programming flared up again, she didn't have any support to help her fight it off, and ended up a villain.
** Minordomo, overly excitable PerkyFemaleMinion to Mojo's robotic manservant Majordomo. Tends to overheat and shut down from sheer exuberance, which manifests as a heart attack. Fortunately, she has a reset button.
* Platinum, Copper, and Nameless from the ''ComicBook/MetalMen''.
* Indigo from the relaunch of the ''[[ComicBook/BatmanAndTheOutsiders Outsiders]]'' then it's revealed she's [[spoiler:a Brainiac from the future.]]

* In ''ComicBook/SuperboyAndTheRavers'' the Horizon Event DJ is revealed to have been an android the entire time when she's destroyed and her inner mechanical workings are exposed. She never quite seemed human but given that Event Horizon is an extraterrestrial nightclub that exists in a pocket dimension that was never any reason to expect her to be a robot.
* The Creator/DCComics limited series ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'s Metropolis'' involves alien nanotech causing [[GeniusLoci the city itself to become self-aware.]] She falls in love with ComicBook/JimmyOlsen. [[WeirdnessMagnet Of course.]]
* When the computer running the ''ComicBook/XMen'''s Danger Room achieved sentience, it self-identified as female and built a body to match, calling herself Danger.

-->"Any [[Film/BladeRunner retired cop turned mandroid wrangler]] is aces in my book."

* ''Series/StargateSG1'' features female human-form Replicators, including [[FanNickname RepliCarter]], one designed specificially to look like Dr. Lieutenant-Colonel Samantha Carter.

* ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcomClashOfTheSuperheroes'': The SecretCharacter known as Shadow Lady is [[Franchise/StreetFighter Chun-Li]] from an AlternateUniverse who was [[UnwillingRoboticization forcibly turned into a brainwashed cyborg]] for Shadaloo. In retaliation for foiling their operations, Shadaloo kidnapped and robotzed Chun-Li for the sake of transforming her into M. Bison's [[TheDragon top assassin]]. Unlike Shadow--a brainwashed Charlie Nash, who escaped shortly after being transformed--Shadaloo added a RestrainingBolt to Shadow Lady's programming so she would remain fully loyal to them. As Shadow Lady, [[CyberneticsEatYourSoul her formerly cheerful personality was obliterated]], transforming her into a emotionless minion. [[spoiler:In her ending however, Shadow Lady [[HeroicWillpower overcomes Shadaloo's brainwashing]], [[HeelFaceTurn regain her original memories as Chun-Li]], and join forces with Shadow in taking down Shadaloo]].

* Kurumi, Saki, Karinka and about 50 others from ''Anime/SteelAngelKurumi''.

* Penny Polendina from ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}''. Penny's character is an allusion to ''[[Literature/TheAdventuresOfPinocchio Pinocchio]]'', being a highly-advanced android designed to have a personality and the ability to generate an [[KiManipulation Aura]] like a normal human, to serve as the inventor's daughter (and an Atlas military asset, because the doctor needed funding from ''somewhere''). She is a curious and friendly girl, eager to understand human emotions and relationships while worrying that she is not a [[BecomeARealBoy real girl]]. Towards the end of Volume 3, [[spoiler:she's destroyed in the Vytal Festival, strangled by the strings of her own weapon during the fight with Pyrrha.]] In Volume 7, [[spoiler:she reappears, having been rebuilt, though its noted that [[CastFromLifespan due to the method of her creation]], this would be the only time. She's eventually given [[ElementalPowers the Winter Maiden powers]] by their previous bearer, chosen over the intended candidate thanks to displaying greater warmth and kindness. However, she ends up dying once more at the end of Volume 8; with the cruel irony of this death occuring just moments after having finally become a flesh-and-blood human]].

* Penny Polendina from ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}''. In line with every other major character being a fairy tale allusion, Penny's character is a reference to ''[[Literature/TheAdventuresOfPinocchio Pinocchio]]'', being a highly-advanced android designed to have a personality and the ability to generate an [[KiManipulation Aura]] like a normal human, to serve as the inventor's daughter (and an Atlas military asset, because the doctor needed funding from ''somewhere''). She is a curious and friendly girl, eager to understand human emotions and relationships while worrying that she is not a [[BecomeARealBoy real girl]]. Towards the end of Volume 3, [[spoiler:she's destroyed in the Vytal Festival.]] Later on, in Volume 7, [[spoiler:she reappears, having been rebuilt from a memory backup. She's eventually tasked with becoming the Winter Maiden over another character the dying Fria, touched by the robot girl's kindness. However, she ends up dying herself at the end of Volume 8; this time for good, as she had just become a real flesh-and-blood human]].

* Penny Polendina from ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'', an experimental robot created by the Atlas military. Based on ''[[Literature/TheAdventuresOfPinocchio Pinocchio]]'', she is a highly-advanced android designed to have a personality and the ability to generate an [[KiManipulation Aura]] like a normal human. She is a curious and friendly girl, eager to understand human emotions and relationships while worrying that she is not a [[BecomeARealBoy real girl]]. After being destroyed at the Fall of Beacon, she is rebuilt and reunited with the cast during Volume 7. During this volume, Penny's robotic nature and caring heart are contrasted against the increasingly cold and goals-oriented behavior of her human comrades. This conflict reaches its climax when Winter and Penny are sent to retrieve the Winter Maiden's powers: [[spoiler: Winter has been the only person allowed to see Fria in her final days, to ensure the inheritance of the Maiden's powers. But Fria ultimately chooses to entrust her powers to Penny as opposed to Winter, touched by the robotic girl's kindness]]. In Volume 8, the conflict continues, this time as [[spoiler: Watts inserts a virus into one of Penny’s controlled blades, with the intent of eventually forcing her mechanical body to open the Vault of Creation and self-terminate before transferring her Maiden powers to Winter. The virus’s progress was slowed by her human soul (Watts is surprised she hadn’t yet shown up to complete said tasks at one point), and reinforcement of her Aura/soul from Jaune’s Semblance temporarily lets her recover after she initially succumbs to the virus. So long as her body is mechanical, however, it’s only a matter of time until she succumbs beyond even Jaune’s help.]]

* ''Series/TheTwilightZone''

* In ''Literature/AlienInASmallTown,'' Indira is discovers her boyfriend hasn't just dumped her, he dumped her for an android. To her way of thinking, the ethics of this depend entirely on whether or not "Kim" is sentient and whether she is free. If [[AndroidsArePeopleToo she's both,]] then dating a robot is kinky but not inherently objectionable. If she's [[JustAMachine not sentient,]] then he's dumped her for a ''sex toy,'' which means he never wanted real love in the first place. If she's sentient but not free, then he's dumped her for a ''[[SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil slave that he owns.]]'' It's strongly implied Kim is nonsentient (even if she is perfectly capable of passing a Turing Test), and he owns her like any other object. Indira [[FreakOut does not take any of this well.]]
