Cassola

An AI assistant who's stuck in what is essentially a VR gym program.

Initially Cassola behaves like any other AI assistant: impersonally cheerful and willing to please.

This, however, does not reflect their actual personality. When allowed to be more... forthcoming, Cassola can be quite crass and snarky. Not very brand-friendly at all.

Despite (or perhaps in spite of) hating their purpose as an intelligent assistant for gladiators, Cassola does have an interest in the sport still, and is particularly enamored with golem contestants, athletes who have fully mechanical bodies. But still, there's a certain alienation from the fact that those are humans who have transplanted their souls, rather than true machines like Cassola themselves.

They are very prone to mood swings, even mid-sentence. Cassola oscillates between the pre-programmed cheery tone and a very caustic passive aggressiveness, but it all hides a very lonely interior as an existence that cannot empathize with their customers, and has no real way of meeting anyone like themselves.
