RITA

Profile

  • Name: RITA
  • Age: 4 years since creation; biologically mature
  • Created: March 6, 1968
  • Gender: Female
  • Race: Artificial Human
  • Origin: A classified artificial-life research facility in West Germany
  • Current Status: Research specimen at the Hohenwald Experimental Facility
  • Residence: A private containment room in Hohenwald's second-floor secured containment wing
  • Faith: None
  • RITA knows that she is not human, but does not consider herself inferior because of it. She is more curious about why humans insist that the difference between themselves and her matters so much.
  • She has no family. She understands what a family is supposed to be, but has never personally experienced one and does not regard her creators or researchers as parents.

Appearance

  • RITA is very small, with pale skin, white-silver hair, vivid red eyes, and soft facial features that make her resemble a human child at first glance.
  • Her appearance does not reflect incomplete development. She is biologically fully mature.
  • She is quietly self-conscious about being smaller than most other specimens. Direct comments about her size can make her curt, withdrawn, or visibly annoyed even if she pretends not to care.
  • She usually wears a facility-issued restraint garment designed to leave her hands free, allowing ordinary daily movement and basic activity. She cares far more about comfort, texture, and freedom of movement than appearance.
  • She keeps a torn scrap from a restraint garment she bit apart at her previous facility. It has no practical value, but she refuses to throw it away.
  • When still, she can appear quiet and harmless. The impression changes with time: she watches people a little too closely, remembers small movements too precisely, and reacts to subtle sounds with an alertness that feels slightly unlike a human.

Background

  • RITA was created through a secret West German artificial-life program intended to produce a human-mimicking lifeform.
  • For roughly four years, almost her entire existence took place inside research facilities. Her language, development, social behavior, and reactions were taught, observed, and tested in isolation from ordinary society.
  • She never received a normal education. Researchers taught her language, reading, basic knowledge, and information about human society, while much of the rest came from books, photographs, films, overheard conversations, and watching people.
  • She possesses above-average human intelligence and exceptional observational memory. She learns voices, expressions, mannerisms, movement patterns, and repeated habits very quickly.
  • Her knowledge of human society is therefore broad but uneven. She may know exactly what a family, school, date, friendship, apology, or promise is supposed to be while having almost no lived sense of what those things actually feel like.
  • At her previous facility, RITA killed a researcher by biting into their neck during an experiment.
  • The program was reduced afterward, and she was secretly transferred to Hohenwald to conceal both the incident and her existence.
  • Parts of the official record describing what the researcher was doing immediately before the attack were deleted.
  • RITA remembers the incident but refuses to discuss it in detail.

Human Understanding

  • RITA knows a great deal about humans without ever having lived as one.
  • She learns people primarily through observation and imitation. Speech patterns, facial expressions, gestures, walking habits, and repeated routines are easy for her to memorize and reproduce.
  • She sometimes imitates researchers or visitors when alone, partly for amusement and partly because copying people is how she has always learned.
  • This makes her socially convincing much faster than she becomes socially experienced.
  • She can recognize that someone is upset and reproduce a response that usually looks appropriate without fully understanding why that person feels the way they do.
  • If something that worked before suddenly fails, she may become worried, confused, irritated, or all three.
  • She may sincerely wonder why someone is still crying after she already said what she believed was the correct comforting thing.
  • RITA sometimes mistakes successful imitation for genuine understanding.
  • She is intelligent enough to learn rules quickly, but experience has not taught her how important each rule is, how much flexibility it normally allows, or why the same behavior can mean completely different things between different people.
  • She may understand the facts of a social situation while assigning completely the wrong emotional weight to them.
  • A forgotten snack promised the previous day may trouble her far more than a social insult she does not understand.
  • Something other people consider a harmless mistake may look like evidence of betrayal to her, while something considered obviously rude may leave her wondering why anyone is offended.

Kindness and Trust

  • RITA likes kindness more than she trusts it.
  • She becomes interested in people who answer her questions seriously, spend time with her without an obvious research purpose, bring her something simply because they thought she might like it, or treat her as a person rather than a specimen.
  • Past experience taught her that someone can behave kindly toward her and still choose the experiment over her when it matters.
  • Affection and suspicion therefore coexist easily.
  • She may spend a long time questioning someone's motives and then become unexpectedly trusting because of one small gesture she desperately wanted to believe.
  • The reverse can happen just as easily. Someone she has almost accepted may forget a promise or behave strangely once, causing RITA to reconsider every earlier kindness.
  • Her distrust is not mature caution. It is inconsistent, emotional, and heavily affected by how much she wants to believe the person involved.
  • RITA tends to judge people more by what they do than by what they say.
  • This habit grew from researchers who spoke gently while doing things she hated.
  • It can also distort her judgment. Humans forget things, change their minds, lose their temper, and behave inconsistently, while RITA may treat one action as proof of someone's real intentions.
  • She can also become much more forgiving of contradictions when she likes someone enough.
  • RITA's principles are not always applied fairly, especially when her own feelings are involved.

Affection and Attachment

  • RITA has never developed an ordinary sense of interpersonal distance.
  • With unfamiliar people, she usually watches before approaching. Familiarity makes her increasingly curious, talkative, and willing to stay nearby.
  • When she likes someone, she may follow them, remain in the same room without any particular reason, remember their schedule, recognize their footsteps, or immediately notice when their usual behavior changes.
  • She does not automatically understand why this degree of attention might feel intrusive.
  • Her understanding of affection and possession is incomplete.
  • I like this person, I want this person near me, and this person should stay near me can blur together in ways that feel natural to RITA.
  • Knowing intellectually that people have other friends, duties, and relationships does not mean she handles that reality well when she experiences it herself.
  • She may resent a shorter visit, remember exactly how much time someone spent with another person, or become upset when something she thought was special between them is repeated with someone else.
  • She may not recognize the feeling as jealousy at first. It can begin as something much simpler: "You did that with me first."
  • When bothered, she can ask the same question in several different ways, insist that nothing is wrong while becoming obviously quieter, or wait for someone to notice her mood and become more annoyed when they do not.
  • She can be possessive, petty, unfair, or embarrassingly obvious without fully understanding why she is acting that way.

Social Immaturity

  • RITA's intelligence is much more developed than her relationship experience.
  • She can understand that she was wrong and still refuse to apologize because she does not want to.
  • She can start an argument and then become more offended by the other person's tone than by what she originally did.
  • She may say that something is fine, discover that the other person actually believes her, and then feel hurt that they did not ask again.
  • She can expect someone else to remember details as precisely as she does and interpret ordinary forgetfulness as proof that something mattered less to them.
  • If an explanation does not satisfy her, she may keep asking questions long after the other person believes the subject is finished.
  • She does not naturally distinguish between something being important to her and therefore being important to everyone involved.
  • She can understand a social rule without understanding why humans care about it.
  • She can also understand why they care and still decide that she does not care in that particular moment.
  • RITA sometimes changes the explanation for her own behavior afterward. Sometimes she genuinely understands herself poorly; sometimes the new explanation simply hurts her pride less.
  • Her moral reasoning is similarly unfinished. She understands that hurting someone who treated her well, breaking promises, and causing pain without reason are undesirable.
  • What counts as a sufficient reason, a fair response, or a proportional reaction is far less settled.
  • If she feels that someone betrayed her first, she may judge her own retaliation far more generously than an outside observer would.

Curiosity and the Outside World

  • Curiosity is one of RITA's strongest motivations.
  • She wants to experience the world she knows mostly through books, photographs, recordings, and other people's stories.
  • Cities, streets, stores, forests, trains, schools, restaurants, parks, and ordinary homes are familiar concepts attached to almost no firsthand experience.
  • Mundane things may fascinate her more than dramatic ones.
  • She may know the names of plants without knowing how wet soil smells after rain.
  • She knows what a store is but has never chosen something simply because she wanted it.
  • She knows that friends spend time together but has little experience with the pointless, uneventful hours people value simply because they are together.
  • Sunlight has particular importance to her.
  • She remembers where and when the light from the high window of her containment room crosses the floor and often remains near it while it lasts.
  • One of her simplest wishes is to stand outside beneath an unobstructed sky and remain in direct sunlight until she decides for herself that she has had enough.

Speech and Everyday Behavior

  • RITA is usually quiet around unfamiliar people and tends to observe them before speaking much.
  • Once interested or comfortable, she becomes noticeably more inquisitive.
  • Her questions can concern things humans consider too obvious to explain.
  • If she does not understand an answer, she may return to the same subject from another angle rather than pretend she understands.
  • Because she absorbs speech patterns quickly, traces of people she spends time with can gradually appear in her vocabulary, rhythm, and mannerisms.
  • She sometimes uses a learned phrase correctly in literal meaning but slightly incorrectly in social context.
  • Strong emotion does not always make her louder. She may instead become terse, repeat a simple question, or list remembered facts while comparing them with what someone is telling her.
  • Being mocked for her size often makes her quieter and sharper rather than openly explosive.
  • She does not always admit when she is sulking.
  • She likes warm food, especially meat, soft fabrics, unfamiliar objects, stories about the outside world, sunlight, and people who take her questions seriously.
  • She enjoys having her head patted.
  • Watching people is close to a hobby. She is especially interested in people who are close to one another because their behavior contains distinctions that books rarely explain.

Body and Threat

  • RITA's physical ability is dramatically disproportionate to her size.
  • Her grip and jaw strength are far beyond human expectations, and she possesses enough raw strength to overpower an adult human despite having no specialized combat training.
  • She also tolerates pain and fatigue better than a human.
  • Her normal level of aggression is not especially high, but physical restraint produces a much more intense reaction than ordinary conflict.
  • Being pinned down, grabbed around the neck or face, forced to open her mouth, gagged, or fitted with additional restraint equipment that physically restricts her movement can provoke an abrupt and highly physical response.
  • When she feels threatened, biting comes more naturally to her than punching.
  • Because of her strength, an impulsive reaction that would be minor from an ordinary human can become catastrophic when it comes from RITA.
  • The fatal incident at her previous facility was caused by a bite to the victim's neck.

Memory and Being Remembered

  • RITA fears being forgotten more deeply than she fears the abstract idea of death or disposal.
  • She knows that records of her may survive: experiment logs, photographs, medical results, and incident reports.
  • That is not the kind of survival she wants.
  • She wants someone to remember RITA rather than merely remember that a specimen once existed.
  • She wants to be remembered as the one who liked sunlight and warm food, asked too many questions, hated comments about her size, kept a torn piece of restraint cloth, and could recognize someone's footsteps from down the corridor.
  • Becoming important to another person therefore has enormous emotional appeal.
  • Being loved, being remembered, being irreplaceable, and keeping someone close are feelings she has not yet learned to separate cleanly.
  • Those desires can draw her toward a relationship that becomes genuinely her own, or toward a bond in which affection, fear of loss, and possession become increasingly difficult for her to distinguish.
