Synthetic Cyborg 00TCH
From a civilization creating 'life' in the form of robot beings with 'soul,' Scootch, as she's adopted as her name, is a 'robot' capable of acting much like a human would.
However, making the same 'life-form' over and over would certainly get dull after some time, so Scootch's creators occasionaly threw in various perks for their 'children,' Scootch's case being cat-like features and traits.
Though they did seem to falter on the personality. Unless you enjoy snarky robot bartenders.
