Description
Gre-chan appears across the Robot Girls franchise, specifically in Robot Girls Z and its distinct sequel continuity, Robot Girls NEO. In Robot Girls Z, she serves as the youngest member of Robot Girls Team Z, modeled after Great Mazinger. She stands noticeably shorter than her teammates, at least a head shorter than Z-chan. Her appearance features long, slightly messy purple hair styled after Jun Hono, purple eyes, and a typically blank expression. She wears a battle suit resembling Great Mazinger: a black jacket with blue cuffs, a red necktie, a V-shaped heat sink-like emblem on the chest, a red skirt, black stockings, and blue boots.
Her personality involves minimal speech, a cynical outlook, and frequent judgment of others' flaws, particularly targeting the slightly older Z-chan, whom she calls "kid." She explicitly dislikes athletic girls, especially Z-chan, and displays laziness, avoiding fights or athletic events when possible. She prefers sitting, playing video games, and eating sweets, often seen with a digital camera, cell phone, or portable gaming system. Despite her harsh exterior and treatment of Z-chan, she harbors genuine concern for her, evidenced by worry during Minerva X's interaction with Z-chan and visible distress when Z-chan declared hatred toward her.
Via the Brain Conder, she manifests her battle suit, granting abilities derived from Great Mazinger. These include launching her fists as Atomic Punch or Drill Pressure Punch attacks, summoning a Mazinger Blade to cut through beam attacks, controlling electricity for Thunder Break, and generating gale-force winds with Great Typhoon. She can summon the Great Booster for flight, sitting atop it, though she is prone to motion sickness on boats. An enhanced form, G Booster Gre-chan, debuted in Robot Girls Z ONLINE. This form attaches the Great Booster to her back, enhancing her abilities and enabling high-speed flight. It facilitates new attacks like Booster Sword and combined techniques such as Koshiryoku Beam Dynamic with teammates, developed partly due to budget constraints from Z-chan's Devil Scrander project.
Outside combat, she holds two known jobs: promoter for the Photon Power Laboratory and sales clerk at her parents' video game store. A younger version, Gre-tan, depicts her as an elementary schooler with average height and weight for her grade. This iteration has shorter purple hair, large glasses, and typically wears overalls over a light green shirt while holding an older gaming system.
In the separate narrative continuity of Robot Girls NEO, Gre-chan resides in a ruined Nerima following an unexplained photon energy disaster. The area, now called the Shutter District, centers around the surviving Photon Research Facility Tower. She cohabits with Z-chan in a salvaged-materials home named Photon House at the tower's base. This setting replaces advanced photon energy with Getter Rays dominating the environment, though she and Z-chan continue using photon energy to power their household. Her role and interactions in this post-disaster landscape focus on daily survival alongside Z-chan, distinct from her team-based activities in the original series.
