== Biography ==
 
===Before Pandora's Box===
Pandora was born in a [[Helper Corporation facility]] on January 1, 2064. Pandora was assigned Helper version three, orange cohort, male, and designationorange number 6165 at birthcohort<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2022/05/25/chapter-8-page-1/</ref>. [[The Helper Corporation]] subjected Pandora to a [[Helper programming|horrific brainwashing and indoctrination "training" program]]<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/04/chapter-2-page-14/</ref> to make her into a slave<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/10/18/chapter-1-page-17/</ref>. During "training," she was forced to use a dangerous<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2022/06/03/chapter-8-page-8/</ref> virtual reality headset<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2022/06/06/chapter-8-page-9/</ref>. Her training also included how to take care of human children.<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2024/07/16/chapter-11-page-5/</ref>
 
She knew she did not like being a boy, and eventually, she realized that other boys did like being boys<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2022/06/09/chapter-8-page-12/</ref>. After experiencing a literal moment of impact, Pandora realized she wanted to be a girl<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2022/06/10/chapter-8-page-13/</ref>. A short time later, with the help of [[Pandora's dark-furred friend|other]] [[Pandora's light-furred friend|Helpers]]<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2022/06/13/chapter-8-page-14/</ref>, Pandora realized that she <i>is</i> a girl<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2022/06/14/chapter-8-page-15/</ref>.
 
When Pandora's [[Product Care Agent]] [[Kyndley]] realized Pandora was serious about being a girl<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2022/06/15/chapter-8-page-16/</ref>, Kyndly said Pandora's gender was "inconvenient.<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/10/18/chapter-1-page-3/</ref>" Kyndly planned to erase Pandora's memory and give her a new personality<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/10/18/chapter-1-page-8/</ref>. Hence, Pandora tried to run away, while shouting "I'm not a boy!<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/10/18/chapter-1-page-9/</ref>" While escaping through a vent<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/10/18/chapter-1-page-10/</ref>, Pandora mentally grappled with the conflict between her knowledge that she is a girl and her programming's requirement to believe whatever [[Monopolith]] and Kyndley said about her<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/10/18/chapter-1-page-11/</ref>.
 
After climbing through the vent, Pandora found herself in a shipping area, where fully- brainwashed Helpers were being shipped to buyers<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/10/18/chapter-1-page-12/</ref> When Pandora realized the authorities were going to catch her, she climbed into a shipping container and was shipped out along with the other Helpers<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/10/18/chapter-1-page-13/</ref>. Inside the pod, Pandora reflected on her experience and wished she wasn't broken<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/10/18/chapter-1-page-14/</ref>.
 
By a stroke of good luck, the delivery drone carrying Pandora made an emergency landing, probably due to an engine failure<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/10/18/chapter-1-page-15/</ref>, which allowed the Pioneer City Resistance to rescue her<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/10/18/chapter-1-page-16/</ref>. [[Zero Angiers]] hacked the security on the pod<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/10/18/chapter-1-page-17/</ref>, while [[Isabelle Monday]] literally opened [[Pandora's Box]]<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/10/18/chapter-1-page-18/</ref>.

===After Pandora's Box===
{{NeedsExpansion|section=yes}}
During the car ride back from her rescue, Pandora met and was introduced to other members of the resistance<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/04/chapter-2-page-2/</ref>. During these introductions, she told Isabelle about being broken and the acts of defiance that led her to this point, begging not to be sent back<ref name="2-3">https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/04/chapter-2-page-3/</ref>. Isabelle then consoled her by revealing that they shared an identity as trans girls<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/04/chapter-2-page-4/</ref>, with [[Veronica Fortuna|Miss Fortuna]] commenting that it "must be fate"<ref name="2-3" />.

This is due in part to Pandora imprinting on Isabelle<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/10/18/chapter-1-page-19/</ref><ref>https://pandorastale.com/2022/06/08/chapter-8-page-11/</ref>, and likely partly because Isabelle is the first [[Human|human]] to treat Pandora as a person and not property<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/10/18/chapter-1-page-17/</ref><ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/08/chapter-3-page-2/</ref><ref>https://pandorastale.com/2020/07/16/chapter-5-page-1/</ref><ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/11/03/chapter-7-page-15/</ref><ref>https://pandorastale.com/2022/06/03/chapter-8-page-8/</ref>.
 
Isabelle, in turn, loves and cares for Pandora<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/05/26/chapter-6-page-14/</ref><ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/05/29/chapter-6-page-17/</ref><ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/05/30/chapter-6-page-18/</ref><ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/10/22/chapter-7-page-3/</ref><ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/10/28/chapter-7-page-9/</ref>. Pandora gives Isabelle determination to fight against Monopolith<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/10/29/chapter-7-page-10/</ref>. Isabelle is very quick to come to Pandora's defense<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2020/03/04/chapter-4-page-7/</ref>, as well as quick to trust Pandora<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/04/chapter-2-page-2/</ref><ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/16/chapter-3-page-10/</ref><ref>https://pandorastale.com/2020/03/12/chapter-4-page-15/</ref><ref>https://pandorastale.com/2020/03/13/chapter-4-page-16/</ref><ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/05/16/chapter-6-page-4/</ref>. Isabelle also tries hard to help Pandora learn to navigate the world<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/08/chapter-3-page-2/</ref><ref>https://pandorastale.com/2020/03/08/chapter-4-page-11/</ref><ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/06/01/chapter-6-page-20/</ref>.
 
In spite ofDespite her programming, Pandora is sometimes able to do things for the resistance against Isabelle's wishes<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2020/07/23/chapter-5-page-8/</ref>. MoreoeverMoreover, Pandora sometimes gets frustrated with Isabelle<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2022/06/16/chapter-8-page-17/</ref><ref>https://pandorastale.com/2022/06/17/chapter-8-page-18/</ref>.
 
===Con Yung===
Con witnessed Isabelle rescue Pandora<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/10/18/chapter-1-page-18/</ref>. Though Con initially considered Pandora to be a stranger<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/04/chapter-2-page-2/</ref>, Con quickly warmed up to Pandora<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/04/chapter-2-page-7/</ref>. Con is nonetheless weirded out by some of the effects of Pandora's [[Helper programming|programming]]<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/11/chapter-3-page-5/</ref><ref>https://pandorastale.com/2020/02/28/chapter-4-page-2/</ref><ref>https://pandorastale.com/2020/03/14/chapter-4-page-17/</ref>. Pandora also seems to like Con<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2020/02/27/chapter-4-page-1/</ref>. Con didn't know or think much about Helpers prior tobefore meeting Pandora<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/14/chapter-3-page-8/</ref>, but she knew that what The Helper Corporation did to Pandora is what the Resistance exists to fight against<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/10/18/chapter-1-page-17/</ref><ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/10/29/chapter-7-page-10/</ref>
 
When Isabelle asked Con to watch Pandora for one night, Con was initially reluctant but agreed<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2020/07/17/chapter-5-page-2/</ref>. Con intended to keep Pandora out of trouble<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2020/07/18/chapter-5-page-3/</ref>, and so Con got scared when [[Hemmel]] insisted on bringing Pandora on a dangerous mission<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2020/07/19/chapter-5-page-4/</ref>. Con tried to remain overly protective of Pandora throughout the evening<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2020/07/20/chapter-5-page-5/</ref><ref>https://pandorastale.com/2020/07/23/chapter-5-page-8/</ref><ref>https://pandorastale.com/2020/07/24/chapter-5-page-9/</ref>, largely because Con was afraid of how Isabelle would react if Pandora got hurt<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2020/07/27/chapter-5-page-12/</ref><ref>https://pandorastale.com/2020/08/05/chapter-5-page-21/</ref>. Months later, Con remained uneasy about her role in Pandora's escapade<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/05/18/chapter-6-page-6/</ref>, and she was seemingly surprised by Pandora's subsequent antics<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/10/31/chapter-7-page-12/</ref>.
Line 82 ⟶ 83:
Zero was responsible for finding<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/10/18/chapter-1-page-15/</ref> and unlocking [[Pandora's Box]]<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/10/18/chapter-1-page-16/</ref><ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/10/18/chapter-1-page-17/</ref>. She also helped explain key aspects of [[Helper programming|Pandora's programming]] to the rest of the resistance<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/10/18/chapter-1-page-19/</ref><ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/10/18/chapter-1-page-20/</ref><ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/04/chapter-2-page-5/</ref><ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/04/chapter-2-page-6/</ref>. Nonetheless, Zero's relationship with Pandora has at best been antagonistic. Zero initially suggested selling Pandora on the black market<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/10/18/chapter-1-page-17/</ref>. Pandora seemed to annoy Zero enough that Zero denied being a [[cavefish]]<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/09/chapter-3-page-3/</ref>. When Pandora asked to join the resistance, Zero strenuously objected<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/11/19/chapter-3-page-13/</ref>, and Zero was visibly annoyed when [[Hemmel]] allowed Pandora in anyways<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2020/03/14/chapter-4-page-17/</ref>.
 
Months later, Zero got angry at Pandora for apparently slacking off on a mission<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/06/02/chapter-6-page-21/</ref>, despiteeven the fact thatthough Zero [[w:Hypocrisy|was ''actually'' slacking off]]<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2021/11/06/chapter-7-page-18/</ref>.
