Shortly after the launch of Lapsang Souchong’s designer clothing line, the Chinese girl was contacted by one Vayick Sørenlance – owner of, chief designer at and enormous talented genius behind Sørenlance industries, Sweden’s biggest producer of designer electronics. Sørenlance congratulated the fashionista’s new-found success and placed an order including one or two custom items.
Not long after the clothes had shipped, a parcel arrived at a local gaming store, addressed to Lapushan Xiaozhong, Inside the parcel, which was dutifully delivered to the academy by Emma, was a thank you gift from Sørenlance himself; a prototype robotic assistant with the serial number X-3.
X-3 stands at a mighty 15cm tall and has an average build (or, rather, what would be an average build were she scaled up). Her features resemble an eastern Indian woman – she has dusky skin, delicate facial featured, deep hazel eyes and even darker brown hair. She arrived dressed in generic cloth jeans and a t-shirt reading “I <3 ST” but her wardrobe has since been extended by Souchong.
X-3 has access to a wide variety of functions, much like those found on an iphone/android. She can send and receive calls, find and retrieve information via google and she can even give you a reminder to pick up milk on the way home. Strangely, she’s missing a satellite navigation option, nor can she be counted on to find directional information not found on web-based route finders. X-3 can speak three languages; Swedish (should she ever speak to her creator or the first two prototype units), Chinese (the default setting for addressing Souchong) and English (although, given the nature of her programmer, this setting is referred to as “’MURICAN”).
X-3 also has access to a number of more unorthodox features. It is worth noting that they cannot be initiated or called on by anyone other than X-3 herself.
Given that her core architecture is a miniaturised Sentinel construct, X-3 has the ability to fire a beam of piercing energy from her mouth. Similarly, she has the ability to remotely scan and record data on any electronic device she turns her eye to (a tactic almost exclusively reserved for gathering intel on any Sentinels found around the LA area. Any information that is gathered on Sentinels (regarding height, weight, power source, heat signatures etc.) is relayed back to Sørenlance Technology’s headquarters during the units recharging periods. It is also worth noting that, for the safety of Sørenlance and Souchong/her companions, the broadcast does not contain any location or telemetric data, merely potentially pertinent information regarding the development of the Sentinels.
To clarify, X-3 is...
She is not...

To clarify, X-3 is...
- A means of giving Souchong some bite and a reason to join in scenes
- A trustworthy ally
She is not...
- A sentinel
- A double agent
- A sentinel
- Giving away the location of the school
- A sentinel
- A sentinel
- An extra character
