}}'''CS-NA''', also known as '''Cessna''' or by the nickname '''Cesse''', was a small sapient robot, originally designed to perform construction work on spaceships. He came to live in the [[Cupid Homeworld]]. Cesse was mute, communicating by projecting silent holograms or (in an emergency) by beeping morse code. | |||
== Description == | |||
=== Physical appearance === | |||
CS-NA was a small silver robot. His shape was somewhat spider-like, with a flat body and thin segmented legs, although he only had six, not eight. His head consisted of two conjoined cameras with round, yellow lenses for “eyes”, which could also glow red when he was scared. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Winter Quests (novel)|The Winter Quests]]'') | |||
=== Personality === | |||
CS-NA was kind and helpful, and somewhat naive due to his origins. He liked to think in terms of patterns. He had not originally been constructed to have a personality, but developed one over his many decades of existence; consequently he did not have a very strong sense of his identity, generally accepting the way those around him saw him. He felt no need to pick a name for himself, although he was happy to be given one by the Cupids; likewise he had not had any desire to pick pronouns for himself prior to the Cupids beginning to refer to him as a “he”, but went along with this without complaint. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Winter Quests (novel)|The Winter Quests]]'') | |||
== Biography == | |||
=== Origins === | |||
CS-NA was built by a group of scientists and given the designation “Construction Series — Number Alpha”. His makers were not human, and did not speak English, meaning this was actually a translation of his original name. The scientists quickly took to referring to the robot as “CS-NA” as though it were a name. CS-NA passed through several hands, eventually ending up in the possession of a callous scrap-merchant at the [[Interdimensional Black Market]]. He was “rescued” by [[Tracker-764]], a [[Clockwork Cherub]] of the [[Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]], who took him back to the [[Cupid Homeworld]]. By then, he was several decades old. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Winter Quests (novel)|The Winter Quests]]'') | |||
=== In the Cupid Homeworld === | |||
It was the Cupids who first referred to him as “Cesse” as a nickname, and took to referring to him with male pronouns rather than as an “it”. Although he had not previously given his gender any thought, CS-NA was happy with this choice. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Winter Quests (novel)|The Winter Quests]]'') He was living in the Homeworld by December 2020. As such, he was one of the non-[[Clockwork Cherub]]s inhabitants of the realm who were used to celebrating Christmas (or some equivalent thereof) in their own worlds, and protested against the [[Cupid Parliament]]'s rule against the holiday. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Time of the Toymaker (novel)|The Time of the Toymaker]]'') | |||
Although Tracker sometimes visited him, CS-NA generally kept to himself during his early stay in the Homeworld, vaguely puzzled that he was being treated like a person rather than a possession. Instead of simply putting him to work, the Cupids formally gave CS-NA a job in their ship-building department. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Winter Quests (novel)|The Winter Quests]]'') | |||
=== Cesse saves Christmas === | |||
In 2021, CS-NA, having noticed a pattern of the Cupids' adventures getting more dangerous year by year, feared that this year's winter misadventures would risk ruining [[Christmas]]. In thanks for all the kindness they had shown him, he resolved to “save Christmas” himself. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Winter Quests (novel)|The Winter Quests]]'') | |||
