Pia (also known as The Prototype) is a Frame Girl currently owned by Sadie Charger and the deuteragonist of BattleFrame Girl. Pia is an experimental prototype Frame that was being developed in secret by BattleFrame Industries until she was lost and subsequently came into Sadie's possession.
Appearance
Bio
Pia was originally referred to as "The Prototype" while in the Custody of BattleFrame Industries, and was developed as a top secret project. Three days before the events of the story, Dr. Amy Rover intentionally abandoned the Prototype outside of BFIs headquarters.
Sometime after being lost, The Prototype is found by Jack in the parking lot outside of Serv-N-Stop, heavily damaged and seemingly non-functional. He presents Sadie with The Prototype and asks her to take the Frame home and fix her. Sadie agrees, and after running a diagnostic test overnight, the Prototype powers back on. Sadie takes The Prototype with her to a game store, where she is introduced to the owner Greg Caddy. After walking her through the principle of swapping a CCU to a new body, Sadie deliberates on which new body to choose before deciding on a Devil Dog Frame. Sadie presents the now-fixed Prototype to Jack, who after exchanging some words asks what her name is.
Sadie and the Prototype set out to decide on a name for her together and settle on naming her Pia after she expressed a desire to be named after a Vespa scooter.
Personality
Pia is highly curious, often asking Sadie questions and not being satisfied until she receives an answer. She displays an ability to learn and adapt faster than Frame Girls are usually able, and was able to defeat a training simulation on her first try in spite of still adjusting to a brand new body.
Pia also displayed enough Personality Drift to drastically affect BFI's readings on her own when in BFI custody. How this excessive personality drift will manifest is not yet clear.
Relationships
Sadie
Sadie is Pia's owner, and is enthusiastic to learn more about her. She has a tendency to prod Sadie to get what she wants, and is eager to get Sadie to enter her into Frame Battles.
Dr. Rover and Delphi
Pia was developed in secret by BattleFrame Industries' Reasearch and Development team, and had her Personality Drift measurements monitored by Delphi. It is currently unknown what Pia's feelings were towards Delphi and Dr. Rover while she was in BFI custody.
Trivia
- The design for Pia's damaged prototype Frame was contributed by Snix.
- Pia was abandoned at the Serv-N-Stop on 415 Garden Street, Motor City.
