| abstract | - Wonkers is Zoë Castillo's Watilla, whom Gabriel bought for her at the age of four after her mother died. Wonkers was presumably her playmate and watchdog when she was small, but now he functions as her organiser and a companion at home. He also interfaces with the household server and takes messages for her. Zoë mentions that Wonkers is a quite outdated Watilla model by 2219's standards, but she cannot bear to part with him for sentimental reasons. Reza Temiz leaves an automatic message with Wonkers that activates after he disappears, telling Zoë to go into his safe and get his notepad. When Zoë needs to retrieve a password from Reza's Watilla, she has to borrow some components from Wonkers to reactivate Lucia after she's attacked by a Spider. Wonkers has a very different personality to Lucia: whereas Lucia is quite bouncy and enthusiastic, Wonkers just wants to keep Zoë happy, whether that means making sure she keeps her appointments or comforting her when she's crying. He's also very fond of games, and keeps asking Zoë to play with him. Wonkers is voiced by Jack Angel, who voiced a similar robot, Teddy, in the film Artificial Intelligence: AI. This was a deliberate choice by creator Ragnar Tornquist.
