Ruri Hoshino is an 'electronic fairy', a technopath genetically engineered to directly connect with computers. She understands the systems of the Nadesico as if they were the back of her own IFS-tattooed hand, and its Super AI, Omoikane, is her best friend and confidante. Though she's the youngest crewman on the bridge, her brusque snark belies her cute exterior -- because Ruri Hoshino had no need to understand emotions or human bonds growing up. She is brilliant, and wise beyond her years... and fundamentally lonely, separated from the foolish adults around her by a gulf of difference, even as she moves through electronic systems as if she were just another AI.

Background

Seven years ago,

Ruri, an unidentified orphan, was adopted by a couple who worked at a Nergal subsidiary computing research laboratory. Ruri was intellectually nurtured within the laboratory, and trained by her foster parents to be a Nadesico crew member, a ship slated to be completed in six years.

In return for a large compensatory award for her education, Ruri was handed over to Nergal.

What I want to know is what happened before that.

But I still want to know.

Resources

Electronic Fairy: Ruri is a type of technological empath called an 'Electronic Fairy' -- which makes her, amongst other things, a psychic hacker. She can tell how technology is feeling, though in the case of simpler electronics, whether this involves her powers 'translating' the current use state into emotional data or whether they really have interiority is an open question. She experiences sentience as curiosity, and makes connections with Super AI easily.

Because of her capacity to reach out to electronics, Ruri is able to encourage technology to do its best within the bounds of its functions. People paying close attention may notice this is the true form of her [Command] buffs. Whether she can negotiate with technology to do something contrary to their assigned tasks has yet to be seen.

The Nadesico: Ruri, integrated with Omoikane's systems, does the lion's share of systems operation on the ship -- maintaining its shields, cycling its reactors, charging its cannons. While she doesn't handle the end-user input of things like piloting the helm or communicating essential data, Ruri is able to translate to Omoikane quickly, because her mind is able to keep up with his digital reflexes. Due to this, Ruri can be considered an essential part of the Nadesico, despite not being its Captain. She's generally only seen outside of the ship when the Nadesico is in a safe place, so that Omoikane can handle systems operation automatically.

A College Education: Ruri has a rich well of knowledge of science, data, language, music, and numbers; she completed her base education when she was four years old, and while she doesn't remember the context of her lessons, she retains the knowledge. (A further six years were spent specifically on operating technological systems, but she remembers those.) Tragically, this education was deeply one-sided; while Ruri understands the theories of scientific greats like Archimedes, Einstein, and Pythagoras, she doesn't understand much about how humans feel. Including herself!

On-Ship Encyclopedia: Ruri's best friend is the Nadesico's computer, the Super AI Omoikane. Through him, she has access to an astounding amount of knowledge. She enjoys going through this encyclopedia on her down-time.
