Etta

Etta is an android from Zile City in Love & Logistics, a developing story for Reckless City (animated series). Her capacity for romantic feeling distinguishes her experience from that of many people around her.

The city's inhabitants can value friendship, enjoy company, and care about one another without necessarily experiencing romantic attachment. Etta's experience therefore involves more than finding a particular person attractive: she has feelings that others may not be able to share in the same way.

She becomes close to The Stardance Kid, who is also exploring romantic feeling. Their time together includes watching a film and taking a walk in a park. Etta can be hesitant in one conversation and playful in another.

Her perspective does not assume that everyone else must be unhappy without the experience she values. The story connects emotional discovery with the question of who may decide to alter another person's programming.
