Biography
RyuZU (Japanese: リューズ, Hepburn: Ryūzu) was a mechanical automata built in the form of a female human over a thousand years ago by the inventor Y when he helped transform Earth into the Clockwork Planet. She was made as one of the Initial Y-Series alongside her sister units with her being built for an unknown purpose. It was said that she was the first and thus eldest of the machines created in that time. Around 200 years ago, RyuZU deemed TemP defective, and destroyed her. She became inactive 206 years ago after using her inherent ability 'Mute Scream'. Between this time and the present, the Breguet Family acquired her and passed her down as a legacy artifact. Every single Breguet that inherited RyuZU tried to reactivate her, but they all failed until Marie's generation.
Due to the tremors in the Kyoto Grid, Marie had RyuZU delivered in a protective YD-01 storage unit, along with various parts. RyuZU's casket fell out of the transport and crashed into Naoto Miura's apartment, destroying it and the automaton he had been constructing. Upon seeing her prone form, he quickly decided to repair her, succeeding moments before his apartment fully collapses. A reactivated RyuZU returns the favor by carrying him away from the collapse. Knowing he was the one to repair her, she briefly goes on a small tirade against humanity before deciding to register him as her master. After he faints, she carries him away to a park, retrieving his personal belongings sometime after their exit. He awakens the next morning, upon which she places the choice before him: register himself as her master. Won over by RyuZU's charms, Naoto accepts her as his slave and RyuZU wraps her mouth around his fingers to do so. She concludes by proclaiming a vow of servitude seemingly as sacred as a wedding vow.
Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, RyuZU resembled a female human in her mid-teens, with flowing silver hair and a cherubic face. Her skin is coquettishly pale with lips that were red and moist. As described by Naoto, RyuZU has soft and smooth silver hair, snow white skin, golden eyes, crimson lips, and lithe arms and legs. She wears a simple, old-fashioned, and elegant black and purple dress, with a hair ornament made from white gears and a cloth with red, green and black color. Despite being described as being "so black it seemed like it had been tailored from the darkness of the night", her dress appears to be mostly purple and lavender hues. She also has two black scythes made from gears hidden in her back which can be deployed for combat and collection purposes. She was noted by her code name which was Yourslave (ユアスレイブ, Yuasureibu).
Like her code name implies, she was an automata made to serve her master. She was fiercely loyal to him, and should anything threaten him, she will retaliate with actions up to using lethal force. However, she will most often only use her abilities as a threat to deter any harm rather than escalate the conflict against humans. Unlike most automata, she possesses her own free will, and genuinely wants to stay by her master's side. She enjoys being praised, and requested it on occasion.
She has a jealous side, and will punish or threaten to punish him if he falls for another automaton or other forms of clockwork. RyuZU has also used violence against Naoto on one occasion during the destruction of Tokyo Tower when he acted perverted towards her, as well as choosing not to stop Marie from stomping on his head when he acted perverted towards the latter. Due to her loyalty, she also will take actions to ensure his physical and social well-being, remarking that his status reflected on her as his servant.
Since she does not have an offensive language filter installed within her, she tends to be very rude to others, although she herself is oblivious to this. This often leads to her using extremely harsh language to disparage those around her while simultaneously elevating and praising herself.
Powers and abilities
Though appearing human, she was actually a highly advanced automata who had abilities greater than those of ordinary humans. Her cognitive abilities are the strongest among all automata. Notably, she was able to discern that Naoto's principal wore a wig, and heard Houka Hoshinomiya contemplating orchestrating Naoto's death despite being engrossed in providing a lap pillow to Naoto. Another indication comes from her ability to pour over mountains of magazines and manga within the timespan of a shower.
Crafted by Y, RyuZU's parts and designs are well-beyond the level of that of a normal automaton. Upon restarting she suffers no startup delay in activation of her Accelerator Gears. Her Shock Removers are also powerful enough for her to jump out of a seventh story building with a human and land without causing damage to either herself or the human held. RyuZU's Main Cylinder has been noted to pulse with a similar rhythm to that of a beating heart. Her spring, unlike regular automata, is self-winding and runs perpetually until she either suffers mechanical failure or activates Mute Scream.
As noted by herself, she was the weakest in terms of fighting abilities among the Initial Y-Series but her cognitive abilities was the greatest of all automata. Similar to her sister units, she possessed within her body an special component that gave her superhuman abilities with hers being the result of her Imaginary Gear. The component allowed her to engage in an attack that she referred to as her Mute Scream. This allowed her to shift between Real Time to Imaginary Time that was a realm that only she could fully perceive. This was described as being an axis of time that was completely separate from the real world. Once activated, the function could not be turned off and used up all her energy thus leaving her unable to move afterwards. In such cases, she risked going offline until someone reactivated her gear and restored her to her full state.
