Movie
Description
Naomi Armitage is an illegal "third type" android, representing the most advanced and human-like generation of robots ever created. Her creator is Dr. Asakura, a researcher in artificial intelligence whom she affectionately refers to as her father. The setting for her story is a colonized Mars in a future where such highly advanced androids are officially denied to exist by the government and the corporation that developed her technology.
In terms of personality, Armitage is described as brash, energetic, and a hardcore fighter who acts quickly and lets no one stand in her way. She is known among her colleagues on the Mars Police Department as one of the best detectives, even earning the informal nickname "The Badge Toting Terror in Hot Pants". Despite her tough exterior, she grapples with profound emotional and existential questions about her own nature and purpose, exemplified by her poignant question, "If humans did not want me, why did they create me?".
Armitage's primary motivation is a search for identity and the reason for her own existence. This drive leads her to investigate a series of murders targeting advanced androids, a case that forces her to confront a governmental cover-up and a madman named Renee D'anclaude, who is programmed to destroy all third-type androids. Her role in the story is that of a detective who, in her quest for the truth, finds herself fighting against the very powers that be while trying to protect her own kind.
A key relationship in her life is with Ross Syllabus, a former Earth detective who becomes her partner on the Mars police force. Initially, Ross harbors a hatred for robots due to a past incident, but through working with Armitage, he comes to see her humanity, and they ultimately fall in love. Another crucial, though painful, relationship is with her creator, Dr. Asakura. When she finally locates him, he fails to acknowledge her humanity and rejects her, a moment that serves as a deep emotional wound for her.
Armitage undergoes significant development throughout the narrative. She starts as a secretive being hiding her true identity and transforms into someone who fights openly for the truth and for the recognition of her own personhood. Her journey is one of self-discovery, moving from a state of longing for acceptance to taking a stand against the forces that would deny her and others like her the right to exist.
Notable abilities possessed by Armitage are characteristic of her advanced design. She is a highly capable combatant, able to defeat both human thugs and large robotic opponents. Her android body grants her superhuman strength and durability, and in battle, she has demonstrated the ability to generate wings, allowing for flight and adding a dramatic, almost angelic, visual to her fighting style.
