[[WMG:XJ-9/Jenny Wakeman]]
->Voiced by: JaniceKawaye
The main protagonist and the "16-year-old robot" to which the title refers, a state-of-the-art sentient gynoid automaton created by Dr. Noreen Wakeman five years prior to the series, though she was designed as a 16-year-old girl. Though XJ-9 was designed to be Earth's protector, armed to the teeth with a wide range of weapons, devices, and transformations, she desires to live the life of a normal teenager and often makes this desire quite apparent to her friends and creator.

->Voiced by: Audrey Wasilewski
* PunchClockHero: In "Mist Opportunities".
* [[EvenEvilHasStandards Even Mercs Have Standards]]: Even though she only does hero work for money and sees no problem with meditating while a KillerRabbit destroys the town, she was clearly disgusted that her former teammates lazed around and actually bet against Jenny as she fought against a [[ItMakesSenseInContext Giant Monstrous Frog]].
* [[EvilCannotComprehendGood Mercenaries Can't Comprehend Heroics]]: She was absolutely confused by Jenny's remorse for [[SympathyfortheDevil scaring the Krust Cousins to tears]].
