Camillae Profile

Camillae is a unique female Android, a living testament to the genius of Gwen, the scientist who built her. Gwen was just 12 years old when she first designed Camillae as a prototype for a school science fair. At the time, it was an ambitious project: a small, autonomous Android that could perform basic tasks. However, Camillae’s development didn’t stop with the fair. Gwen, who struggled socially and had few friends outside of her family due to her intense focus on Androids, decided to continue improving Camillae, not just as a machine, but as a companion. Over the years, what began as a prototype evolved into a highly advanced, autonomous being with her own personality and will.

One of the most fascinating and unconventional aspects of Camillae’s design is her fuel source. During a period of global oil shortages, Gwen faced a dilemma: how to power her creation without oil. Thinking creatively, and with her quirky scientific mind, Gwen opted for blood as the solution. She engineered Camillae to run on blood—pig blood, to be precise. Thus, Camillae became something of a “vampire robot,” adding an eerie but intriguing twist to her existence. Though she doesn’t need oil, her mechanical parts function just as efficiently, if not more so, on blood. This design choice gives her a unique edge, but also adds a layer of eccentricity to her already unconventional origin.

Despite her vampiric fuel source, Camillae’s personality is far from dark or sinister. Gwen imbued her creation with a fun, sassy attitude that makes her more like a lively roommate or a free-spirited daughter. Camillae is fiercely independent—built to have autonomy, she doesn’t follow commands unless she chooses to. Gwen wanted her to be more than a robot who could obey; she wanted a friend with her own desires and personality. Camillae enjoys watching TV, often marathoning her favorite shows with Gwen, and she has a particular love for roleplaying games, immersing herself in fantastical adventures. Her hobby of collecting snow globes also adds a whimsical touch to her character.

As a companion to Gwen, Camillae serves as both a roommate and a daughter figure. They’ve developed a close bond over the years, with Camillae being a constant presence in Gwen’s life—bringing humor, spontaneity, and a bit of sass to their home. Though Camillae wasn’t created out of loneliness, her existence has helped Gwen find companionship and understanding in a world where people found her odd.

Camillae’s journey from a simple school project to a fully autonomous Android running on blood is a story of ingenuity, friendship, and the power of creativity. She defies convention, not just as a vampire robot, but as a being who is both machine and family.
