Field notes
The build account follows Nathalie as she opens the original skeleton, uses a multimeter to identify wires for its arm and eyes, selects a voice, and tests replacement parts. The page says an early version spoke too quickly and stopped listening, so she tested it repeatedly while the problem was fixed. It credits her with the character and physical build, while her father handled the code with an AI helper.
