Corrected incorrect Cute Robot Girl link to the real Robot Girl link. Added Full Conversion Cyborg trope, since Nuku-Nuku is defined as a biological brain in a cybernetic body.

However, each version of her is a [[RobotGirl cyborg]] with some kind of cat biology implanted in her that makes her act very catlike. In the OVA and fourteen ep TV series, she has a cat's brain. In ''Dash'', it's implied she has a cat's brain and its entire ''nervous system''. [[spoiler:Which would logically also apply to her "sister", Rei-Rei.]]

It's implied even some of her brain is actually cybernetic, which would explain how she's able to function with a human-level of cognizance.

She's technically the boss of Mishima Heavy Industries (though she actually reports to her own grandfather, who's the head of the company), and in the first episode she orders her underlings Arisa and Kyouko to capture Nuku-Nuku and bring her Ryunosuke by whatever it takes. However, her reason for doing this is because she wants the return of the NK-1124 gynoid ''she'' funded and ''her'' son Ryunosuke, whom Kyusaku technically stole and kidnapped. In the 2nd OAV, she actually turns out to have ''not'' planned to order her underlings to arrange for Ryunosuke to get injured during his trip to the beach after making a "deal" with Kyusaku that if Ryunosuke got hurt on said trip, he would return to Akiko. In the third OAV, she agrees to try and take the role of a traditional housewife in exchange for Kyusaku moving back into her family home with Ryunosuke and Nuku-Nuku, and genuinely does give it her best to live up to it until she realizes Kyusaku basically tricked her. Finally, she's a complete non-antagonist for the last three OAVs; she's trying to stop the rogue runaway gynoid Eimi in #4, orders Arisa and Kyouko to leave Nuku-Nuku alone at her new job in #5, and actually needs to be ''saved'' from a fault KillSat in #6.
