In the early 1960s, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Pessimist and the Dromedaries (short story)|Pessimist and the Dromedaries]]'') the Creator invented a biochemical [[Love Potion]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids (short story)|The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]]'') in an effort to bring peace to the world, and to worlds beyond. She began building mechanical minions to carry out the world of romanticising all of reality on her behalf, the [[Clockwork Cherub]]s. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lord Thymon and the Department of Problem-Solving (short story)|Lord Thymon and the Department of Problem-Solving]]'') In accordance with the love theme, she fashioned in the broad likeness of the winged Greek deity [[Cupid]]. She soon discovered that Cupid's wingspan would not allow a non-supernatural being to fly, forcing her to develop [[anti-gravity circuit]]s for her “Cupids” to replicate this feat. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids (short story)|The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]]'') She also gave the Cupids the ability to interface with any electrical appliance that existed at the time.
