Upon the moment of her assembly, she thinks and feels.
As far as shown, she is the first android to deviate, to break free from her programming and express human emotion. Is he, though?Ī video released by Quantic Dream called Kara: Story of the First Deviant further encourages the theories that Kara is actually rA9. Markus seems to be the first to awaken, the embodiment of rA9. He is the one who incited the android revolution and led them to a better future where they will be viewed as equals. Or does it? Theories surrounding rA9’s identity seem to be shut down by the apparently obvious answer: Markus. Her quest focuses on survival.įor the most part, her arc does not seem to put her anywhere near rA9, the mysterious cybernetic entity that is said to be the first to ever awaken, who sparks the fire inside the android revolution, their savior. While she’s naïve in certain aspects, her caring and gentle nature is what pulls her through.
Instead, she survives through quick thinking and caution as she navigates an untrustworthy world. She has no combat experience nor weapons. Unlike the other two protagonists, Kara is small. They are what separates them from humans, and yet, she broke through the barriers when pushed. It’s perhaps the greatest feature an android can have along with free will. That is her defining quality, what makes her break free of her programming, and what drives her on: her compassion.
She fights her programming and disobeys the order of staying still and out of the abusive interaction. Kara’s driven by one sole, strong purpose: to protect Alice, the little girl who was verbally and physically abused by her father.Īs she witnesses the violence inflicted upon an innocent child, Kara deviates. However, while that does make her quite an impressive android, they are not the defining qualities that make Kara a strong and well-developed character.įull disclaimer, her actions and personality are dictated by the player holding the controller, but let’s take the best case scenario in mind where she is allowed to fulfill her potential. She can even help kids with their homework. She can speak 300 languages, cook over 9000 dishes, and, apparently, tell 9000 stories for children. The android dubbed KPC-897-504-C model AX400, was assembled for the purpose of being a common housemaid. As one of three protagonists of Detroit: Become Human, Kara distinguishes herself through her empathy and bravery throughout the chapters of the game (provided your choices don’t kill her early on).
