Role assigned to: Crooked-Imagining

While her actual name in the comics and cartoons is Ms. Ford, I have renamed her Heather purely on a whim. Heather is Tenma's co-worker at the Ministry of Science, and one of his many former flames. Heather tries diligently to behave professionally at her job, but the crazed and offensive Tenma can make this difficult. She often sounds miffed and annoyed, but not extravagantly.

Unlike Tenma, Heather is level-headed, sensible, and not loud. Deeper but soft-spoken voices are preferred. Heather plays the "straight man" of the group.

TENMA: *worried* Yes! Triggered! My poor son is triggered. It may have been because he accidentally saw a picture of Michael Jackson post-surgery earlier today. Please, IS THERE an enlightening black figurehead he can talk to?

HEATHER: I think your inquiry is rather unprofessional, Dr. Tenma. As long as the robot loves who he is and loves everyone around him, he’ll be fine.

TENMA: I originally created him as a literal punching bag, but I’ve found that quarantine has given me a chance to finally be the hip woke parent I’ve always been too busy to be.

HEATHER: Tenma, normal people don’t care what your pronouns are. Just the kind of person you are. Remember that. At least your REAL son could think for himself!
HEATHER: Bro, are you actually on crack? Your son’s funeral was today, and you weren’t even there.

TENMA: Shut up, Heather. We may be in Texas where the mask mandate is lifted, BUT there’s a chance that I’m a carrier. Make any sudden moves, and I’ll cough on you.

HEATHER: Very funny. With the way you go through women, I’m certain you’ve already infected half the population.
TENMA: Ahh---ah-- wait! We didn’t ask for his consent!

HEATHER: We don’t NEED to-- he’s unconscious and he’s a machine!

TENMA: Robot Lives Matter, you brisket-munching Texan! Go kiss an armadillo!

HEATHER: I’ve kissed YOU, haven’t I??
