I can see Faye taking a nervous Bubbles into some public location, maybe The Secret Bakery and someone hits on Faye's 'pretty Amazonian friend'. There follows much confusion in the Shakespearean mold.

BUBBLES: "Can nobody see that I'm a mil-spec robot?"
FAYE: "They can. They're just messin' with you. Also, if you see a dude with a robotic hand, RUN"

Okay, who else thinks Bubbles started pulling Faye's leg in this panel?
--- End quote ---
Nope. Not in the slightest. I can grok this in fullness. About once every 5 or 10 years I buy myself a cup of tea at a teashop, or even see a film.

--- End quote ---
Ah, but you see - if it's self-imposed, she may not want to be "freed". It should be her choice, not a behaviour that is imposed on her by others.
By circumstances, yes. Just ask Gordon. A considerate person, while acknowledging that they do not have to do something irksome to please others, may of their own free will choose to make a trivial (to them) sacrifice in order to increase general happiness.
It may be that such asceticism is natural to her, no great burden, if it be any burden at all. She may be most comfortable like that.
Or it could be a reaction to deep trauma, so not really a choice. Or a reaction she's aware of, but on intellectual or ethical grounds, has decided not to do anything about, as it's objectively useful. The cage might have been locked originally, but she may have unlocked it - then decided to stay.
By all means give her choices - but deciding what is best for her is arrogant, and oppressive. Not that she'd take offense.
