VR-0N1CA

VR-0N1CA (or Veronica) is a female CL4P-TP unit specialized in Telecommunications, manufactured by Hyperion. According to Claptrap, the model she was based on was discontinued following the success of ECHO 1, and is possibly the last of her kind. She appears in Borderlands 3.

Background
VR-0N1CA is a V-class telecommunications bot used by Hyperion. After the ECHO 1 was released, her entire line of production was shut down and she was left decommissioned on Promethea. She was later found by Claptrap, who was seeking for a companion.

Borderlands 3
As Claptrap felt lonely in his quarters on the Cargo Bay of Sanctuary III, he activated VR-0N1CA, which was still functioning. Being in a very poor state, and realizing that VR-0N1CA is possibly the last of her kind, Claptrap orders the Vault Hunters to seek for spare parts all across the galaxy on dead Claptraps, so he could rebuild her to his liking, equip her with the best parts, and finally put an end to his loneliness.

While looking like a classic CL4P-TP unit with no arms or wheel when discovered, VR-0N1CA progressively gets better over the course of the adventure. She gets a repaint, and has more dialogue lines when parts like a Hairpiece, a Poetry Module or a Reinforced Rear Plate are found. She even becomes more capable than Claptrap with the addition of a Stair-Climbing Update. As Claptrap rebuilds VR-0N1CA, he progressively develops feelings for her, and a relationship seems to develop between the two robots.

When the final part is found, VR-0N1CA is upgraded with a Higher Cognitive Function module. When Claptrap expresses her his feelings, VR-0N1CA violently rejects him, calling herself a "strong, independent woman" that doesn't need a bot like Claptrap. She then climbs up the stairs to set in Moxxi's Bar, leaving Claptrap devastated.

When all parts are found, she thanks the Vault Hunters, knowing that they found the parts for her, by sending them a mail containing a legendary pistol, the Baby Maker++ from Tediore. After the break-up scene, VR-0N1CA can be found at Moxxi's Bar and doesn't have any dialogue from that point.
