[[Mark I]]s were the original design of [[Clockwork Cherub|Clockwork Cherubs]] built by [[Cupida Hartnell]]. They were taller than later models, with a chest unit separated from the base of the legs by a tubular waist. Their limbs were articulated with elbows and knees, and their “hair” was a simplistic metal cap on top of their circular head.

The Mark 2s are smaller and rounder, and have been compared to rag dolls. [[Juliet-178]] was a Mark II; accordingly, her [[Sisters of Juliet|many duplicates]] were also technically Mark IIs, despite being obviously newer than “legitimate” Mark IIs, something other Cupids tended to find disturbing.

[[Mark XVII]]s were a mark of Clockwork Cherub.
