Description
Brass, whose formal designation is Sailor-Multi of the SLR-191218 type, is a Medabot owned by the aspiring journalist Erika, known in Japanese sources as Arika Amazake. Her physical design takes the form of a Sailor-type Medabot, with an appearance reminiscent of a Japanese schoolgirl in a sailor-style uniform. She is powered by a standard beetle-type medal, which contributes to her balanced and reliable performance.
The personality of Brass is consistently portrayed as that of a young, polite, and kind-hearted schoolgirl. She possesses a gentle and feminine demeanor, acting with a level of maturity and calmness that often contrasts with the more excitable and argumentative human characters around her. Despite her quiet nature, she is not without her own opinions and has been shown to agree with her friend Metabee on matters such as the childishness of the frequent arguments between their owners, Ikki and Erika.
Brass's primary role in the story is not as a combatant but as a steadfast supporter of Erika's journalistic career. She spends most of her time acting as a camera operator, faithfully documenting events, gathering scoops, and following leads to help Erika get a story for the school newspaper. Her motivation is intrinsically linked to her loyalty to Erika, as she diligently performs her duties as a partner and assistant. This supportive function means she rarely participates in formal Robattles, but when a fight is unavoidable, she proves to be a capable and tough opponent.
Key relationships are central to her character. Her most important bond is with her owner, Erika. Brass is a constant and reliable companion, assisting in all of Erika's journalistic pursuits without complaint. She also shares a notable friendship with Metabee, the Medabot partner of the protagonist Ikki. Their relationship is a positive and supportive one; they work well together in team battles, and she has gone out of her way to help him on multiple occasions. Some sources note that they are viewed as an unofficial couple due to their close friendship and frequent cooperation.
While Brass does not undergo a dramatic personal transformation, her development is shown through her increasing willingness to engage in combat when her friends are in danger. She transitions from a purely non-combat support unit to a reliable fighter in critical moments. Specific instances of her growth include gathering repair parts for a damaged Metabee while evading enemy Kilobots, single-handedly saving Metabee from the powerful Clay Golem, and providing tactical support during a battle against Ninja-type Medabots by guiding Metabee's attacks when his own vision was impaired. In video game continuities like Medarot 3, she even takes a more active role in investigations, such as helping to interrogate a member of the Roborobo Gang.
In terms of notable abilities, Brass is fundamentally a slow-moving, ranged-attack specialist. She may lack speed, but this is compensated for by an extremely accurate targeting system built into her optics. Her combat style emphasizes methodical precision over rapid movement. Her armaments include two laser cannons, with one embedded in each arm. She also has access to a machine gun capable of a high rate of fire, a tactic once dubbed the "Hail of Fire," as well as a more powerful, slower-firing semi-automatic rifle. Her head part, the Variablehair, can be used to scout an opponent, dramatically improving her accuracy in battle. Her leg parts, the Flaregather, are a dual-footed design optimized for stable shooting on flat, even terrain like fields and forests.
