Robogirl is the main character in the Robogirl comic books that Hiro Nakamura reads and worships. She is a ruthless assassin who can feel compassion, love, and regret. Hiro feels a kinship with the character, often comparing Charlie Andrews to Robogirl.

About

Robogirl is an android who was originally built and programmed to be a bounty hunter, a gun for hire, a "ruthless assassin who would track down and kill her targets quickly". A beatiful, busty redhead, Robogirl wears lethally sharp stiletto heels and has robotic hands that can morph into any weapon in the world. However, at some point in her evolution, someone had reprogrammed Robogirl to develop emotions. But this didn't alter her fundamental purpose to be a killing machine.

Saving Charlie

During his road trip with Ando, Hiro has flipped through Robogirl so often that the pages were all coming loose. After he meets Charlie, Hiro thinks she looks just like Robogirl, the sexy female robot with weapons for hands and sadness in her heart. Hiro has read every issue of the manga since he was twelve years old. (Chapter 2)

At Music City Mall, comic book sales clerk PJ shows Hiro three perfect, plastic-covered issues of Rachel Red: Robogirl. Hiro identifies closely with Robogirl: despite being able to feel compassion, love, and regret, her fundamental purpose is still to be a killing machine, and she would kill a little piece of herself with each new assignment. Like Hiro, Robogirl is constantly searching for connection, a way to feel like she belonged. She doesn't give up when scared, but instead pushes through to accomplish her mission. Holding the Robogirl comics, Hiro feels he has found a friend and a companion on his mission to save Charlie. PJ, on the other hand, thinks that Robogirl has a nice rack. (Chapter 8)

Charlie asks about the Robogirl mangas at Hiro's apartment, and Hiro explains that it's a Japanese comic book, to be read back-to-front. After Charlie fluently reads the end of the comic, Hiro explains that Robogirl's adventures always end with her being alone. "But it's also awesome. She's my favorite." Hiro, feeling that talking about Robogirl with Charlie is "strangely intimate", says that Charlie reminds him of Robogirl, partly because they look alike, even though Robogirl was "aggressively" "over-the-top sexy, all boobs and legs and lips", and Charlie was a "different kind of sexy". Hiro recalls that his dreams used to star Robogirl, but that character has been sidelined since he met Charlie. Hiro finally allows that Robogirl and Charlie both have red hair. But Charlie looks at a picture of Robogirl in spike-heeled leather boots and a bustier that barely covers her nipples, straddling a guy, clutching him between her thighs as she Ginsu-s his carotid arteries with razored hands. Charlie says, "I kind of see what you mean," and says that she thinks it would be nice if Robogirl ended up happy. (Chapter 13)

Charlie shows Hiro the only photo she has of her father and her together. Hiro says, "Just like Robogirl." He explains that the only connection Robogirl has to her past is a picture of a man holding a little red-haired girl. She thinks it's her father, but she doesn't know for sure. (Chapter 16)

Abilities

Robogirl is an exceptionally skilled assassin. As an android, she has robotic hands that could morph into any weapon in the world (Chapter 8). She has demonstrated the ability to turn her hands into spiked clubs (Chapter 2) and into Ginsu-sharp razors (Chapter 13).
