I think I'm gonna like this new character a lot. Socially awkward but not reclusive. The kind of person who would walk up to a stranger in a bakery and introduce herself with "Do.... you like pokemon?". Just oozes adorable in her introduction and I can only see fun places it could go from there.
She could prove an interesting pair with Momo since Momo's remarkably socially outgoing. Could turn out into a more extroverted version of the Marigold/Hanners premise. Though I'd never accuse Jeph of recycling characters. Limited information on New Girl (name?) yet so relying on crude approximations for the characters. Seems though like we got a nerdy socially awkward girl with confidence and a healthy degree of extroversion paired with a full blown extrovert who's idiosyncrasies and inexperience are more than sufficient to create a certain degree of social fumbling and who's quite comfortable with the nerdier subject matters. Don't mean nerd in a derogatory fashion either. Just can't think of a better word right now. Just got out of bed and I'm typing this out before class.
So I was gonna ask how old she was because I strongly suspect she's not be a SMIF student but we think She's the bakery owner's kid? That could be interesting.

Do we know that AIs have perfect memorization in this universe? Seems they could have a system similar to humans for prioritizing which information gets stored anywhere where it could be immediately recalled on the drop of a pin or gets stored at all.
Though I really think a lot of people are making assumptions about how obvious Momo's status as an AI is. I mean sure, there are cues. The ears. Her eyes behave a little differently from normal eyes. I don't think I'd clue into it from the moment I see her from down the hall though. At some point you probably notice, but hell. I've hung out with a guy for three days before noticing he was missing a hand. I can't imagine everyone just starts cataloging her anatomy the moment they approach her or are approached.

Right, she probably defines all databases with information that helps her relationship with Marigold important, so she never deletes them to make room for new information. I assume she has an encyclopedic knowledge of all video games and anime. Odds are she does spider the Internet for extra information about certain topics as a background task.

Holy shit she's tall... Or Marten is far shorter that I'd have thought. Do you guys know any female characters in QC that aren't tall? lol

Marten is slouching :P Plus, females hit puberty faster, so even at 13-14, they're likely only a few inches shorter than their max height will be. (but yes, marten seems to be pretty short)

I'm pretty damn sure she's not a new character

Heh, I didn't count on that, thanks.
Mr_Rose:
So...
Marten has now independently met the daughter of Dora's new business ally/date/friend, and potentially none of them are aware of the common threads.
This is usually the set-up for Comedy of Errors style plots.
I just hope Sam (is that her canon name?) doesn't simultaneously develop a crush on Marten and an irrational loathing for Momo then say something unguarded where her father can misinterpret it and try to sic VespAvenger on either of them...
