Utena poked around Corwin's workshop a bit, peering at various things, while he worked on his most recent creation, this one at her request. She stopped in front of a case. It was clear-fronted with thick, almost starship-grade transparisteel, and within paced what appeared to be another toy robot, on scale with Tiny Robo and Lesser Mazinga.
The robot itself, however, was much different. Where the other two robots looked like, well, robots, this one was slender, with long arms and hands. The shoulders were topped with a tall pair of pauldrons that were taller than the head. The head itself seemed to have a muzzle with a horn atop it, and the entire machine was encased in purple armor with green highlights. It was moving, almost prowling around the cage. It stopped suddenly, and turned to look at Utena.
She stepped back at the sheer sense of anger that seemed to come from the robot, which then LEAPT at her, slamming into the klaster. With a squeak of sudden fear, she took two more steps back, and then fell over a chair. As soon as she was out of direct sight, she heard the slight scratching noises stop.
Footsteps came over to her, and she looked up into the towering inverted face of Corwin. "What happened?" he said, concern written on his face.
"Something... in there... what the HELL was that?"
Corwin peered at the case, and sighed. "Minigelion Zero One. One of my first robots. Something went kinda wrong with the AI and... bruised the hell out of Dad's leg before we got it shut down. I still feel weird about the idea of taking it apart - sometimes it acts almost like it has a soul, an angry soul, but still a soul. And, well, it's FINE around Kate. Almost like it senses the weirdness around Dad and Kei and Mom and the rest of the people, but the kids don't set it off. Yet."
"Except me."
"Well, you do keep making people show up. Aunt Eiko's going to be happy at all the people we bring to Christmas Eve dinner if you stay around long enough."


....oh, come on. To a mini-EVA unit, most of the WDF probably pings as 'Angel' or at least 'weird-ass'.
