Juliet-178 was one of the only female Clockwork Cherubs in the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids. She was Pythagoras-858's best friend and a capable member of the Department of Problem-Solving. She was more mischievous and prone to rule-breaking than he was, and got along well with Jenny Everywhere.
Description
Physical appearance
As a Clockwork Cherub, Pythagoras was a small, winged, humanoid robot with a round, sketchy face and short, wiry hair. Her copper skin was rusted light green, while her hair remained golden. She wore a dark pink bow in said hair as her only article of clothing. (PROSE: The Time of the Toymaker)
Personality
Like Pythagoras-858, Juliet-178 was possessed of more practicality and common sense than the average Clockwork Cherub. Also like him, she was very curious, to the point of sometimes getting delayed in the business at hand by trying to observe ancillary details. She was more adventures (some might say reckless) than Pythe, however, getting along well with Arganthone-056. For example, despite her dislike of Wellsians, she relished a plan that required her and Arganthone to travel to their planet to try and steal one of their weapons.
Even before such a meeting had happened, (PROSE: The Time of the Toymaker) Pythe believed that she'd get along with Jenny Everywhere if the two were to meet. (PROSE: The Grand Multiverse Hotel)
Powers & abilities
Though officially banned from using one, Juliet had an anti-gravity circuit which enabled her to fly. (PROSE: The Time of the Toymaker)
Biography
Early life
While he was looking for Mandragora-257, Pythagoras-858 told Juliet about some of his observations regarding the fundamental principles of magic. (PROSE: The Time of the Toymaker)
The Christmas crisis
After Pythagoras-858 found Madame Tarsa magically frozen in her Worshop in December 2020, he dispatched Juliet and Arganthone-056 to the Workshop while he went off in the Multiverse to try and find the culprit(s). After they determined that Tarsa's sentient marionettes didn't know anything of value, Juliet got the idea to try and match the unnatural ice with unnatural heat, and dragged Arganthone to New Wellsia to try and get a Wellsian Heat Ray.
The two were shot down before they got anywhere near the Wellsian citadel, and as they retreated it back to their Fog Ship, it was damaged by the Wellsians' artillery. Tumbling across the dimensions, it crashed in 1895 London in the Prime Universe. Luckily, this was witnessed by Jenny Everywhere, who joined the two Cupids, using her shifting abilities to take them back to the Workshop where she thought Tarsa might have left some kind of failsage to reanimate her in an emergency.
There, while Arganthone tried to interrogate the Mechanical Fortune Teller (to little effect), Juliet and Jenny headed into Madame Tarsa's Toybox. There, making their way through the Labyrinthine interior, they found themselves arriving at Wild West Town, where the Frog Mayor advised the three visitors to look for the “oldest toy in the Labyrinth”, who resided in the Christmas Toyland area of the magical toybox. When they met her, however, she was only able to show them the relevant rhyming clue left by Tarsa (which spoke of a “key” in a “distant star”), but not explain its meaning. The three travellers agreed to look for further clues in the forms of legends and myths which other civilisations in the Multiverse might have about Tarsa. They first, unsuccessfully tried the Euclidean Plane (where they engaged in a snowball fight with the Citadel's Octaser and Triangry guards) before heading to the Cupid Homeworld itself to check the Cupid Archives. (PROSE: The Time of the Toymaker)
Behind the scenes
