[Character name] Sumomo
[Age] She's a Persocom. They don't have "ages" though she acts like a very hyperactive little kid due to the nature of her programming
[Canon] Chobits
[Point in time taken from canon] Post Chapter 55, after Chii was kidnapped by Kojima.
[Why this character is an "add-on"] Sumomo isn't featured that prominently in canon. She only serves as a means of communication between Hideki, Minoru, and Shinbo because Sumomo has a built-in phone and she can browse the internet, plus receive email. Her breaking down earlier in canon when trying to check Chii for an OS served as a hint that there's more to the blonde Persocon than meets the eye. The little mobile unit is also the one who receives the mysterious pictures that Chitose sends through Minoru to Hideki as the series progress from a fanservicey comedy to a drama questioning why do Persocons have to look human.
[Background]
Sumomo is a mobile Persocom unit, meaning that she would be the Chobits world's equivalent of a laptop. She doesn't get much screen time in the manga but I'll try to show the instances when she does. The first time she appears was when Shinbo had her run a a basic Persocom test which broke Sumomo (note: this is incident is very important step in realizing that Chii isn't a normal Persocom). She comes back a few days later when Hideki and Shinbo go to crams school, good as new. Shinbo has her write in a piece of paper how much her memory costs and it made Hideki flip out at the price. When Shinbo and Shimizu-sensei eloped, Shinbo made the necessary arrangements for Sumomo to become Hideki's Persocom now (He still scares her with his exaggerated reactions which have become a running gag in the series. XD).
Sumomo becomes more prominent during the story arc where Chii gets kidnapped. In a way, she becomes the vessel of clues that Hideki, Minoru and Shinbo get that not only added more to the mystery of Chii's origins but it also helped them discovered where Chii was being kept captive. Also, her presence made it possible for them to figure out which house Chii was being kept in. In this arc, Sumomo stops moving for a few minutes due to the mysterious power has over every Persocom in Tokyo.
From the point of canon I took her, she's currently chilling with Hideki and Chii, driving Kotoko nuts with her antics. But that's not her fault since Shinbo programmed her to be peppy and hyperactive.
[Personality]
A Persocom's overall personality will depend on the programming and the algorithms the user will install in it. For some reason, Shinbo programmed her to be some kind of cheerleader. She's loud, cheery and hyper. She does cheers to motivate the user into finishing tasks or being a really enthusiastic greeter when her master leaves for cram school and when he comes home (she has the strength to tackle Hideki to the ground >w>;;).
[Abilities]
Just computer stuff. She can surf the internet,download porn, receive email and images, voice mail and calls. When there isn't a printer nearby, she can write what needs to be print on paper (It's definitely cuter that way~ Shinbo seems to think so).
[Other important stuff]
Every morning, she will wake up and make everyone do what she calls the "Wakey Wakey Up Exercises". She has a none ending supply of pompoms, flags and other cheering paraphernalia. For some reason, Hideki's exaggerated reactions scare poor little Sumomo.
[What is their purpose in game?] If Ria does get Hideki in, Sumomo serves as support for him and Chii (somebody has to lessen Hideki's technology fail). Wakey Wakey Up Exercises for everyone!
[Any questions?] Just one. Since Sumomo has a built-in phone, how will the Dreamberry factor into this? Will it become a part of her, like, a software upgrade or will she have her own Dreamberry like Chii? Thanks~ o/
