A robot made by a lonely scientist
The result could only be called
a "miracle" (miracle)

(Written description coming eventually, notes for now.)

- Android/robot. He was created by Malachai, a scientists that worked at Becquerel Labs.
- Older half-sister is Cattail. (Okay, "technically" they're not siblings, since.. you know, they're robots. But they were both made by the same person, and they consider themselves siblings, so close enough.)
- More "organic"/lifelike, compared to Cattail (physically speaking, that is; internally, he's made up of wires and such, just like she is). Cattail was created by two scientists, Falderal and Malachai. They had different ideas for her and argued constantly during her creation; Falderal ended up leaving shortly after Cattail was first activated, and this deeply shook Malachai. He created Nettle by himself; he attempted to make him appear more humanoid (well.. not 'human', cause they're anthros, but.. whatever, you know what I mean), as opposed to the fantasy, mecha anime kind of robot that Cattail was meant to be (or what Malachai wanted her to look like, anyway). Cattail was essentially a failure, one that had cost him his relationship with Falderal, and he was desperate for Fal to come back. At that point, he would've done just about anything if it meant they could be together again. So he tried to make Nettle look like something Falderal would make (or, something Malachai *thought* he would make, if that makes sense), thinking "if I do things HIS way, maybe he'll forgive me and come back". (Also because he had realized by this point where he had gone wrong with Cattail, and that maybe Fal had a point about giant robots being impractical/unrealistic ^^;) Falderal never came back, though, and Malachai ended up dying shortly after Nettle was activated.
- Nettle's eyes weren't installed properly (Malachai screwed up. He screwed up a lot of things.) and as a result, they're unfocused and tend to stare a lot. They're also somewhat sensitive to light; because of this, he always wears sunglasses.
- Naive, clueless, relies on Cattail for most things. Clings to her.
- Very 'basic' and poorly made, in comparison to Cattail. (Well.. Cattail isn't exactly a super deluxe robot, either, since she's so mismatched and was also the first attempt for both scientists. But Nettle was made by a sad, dying man who was clouded by regrets and wasn't really thinking straight for most of Nettle's creation. Also, again, it was his first attempt at making a robot like Nettle, so he was bound to screw up somehow.)
- Like Cattail, he has little idea of societal norms, how to act around people (that aren't Cattail, I mean), etc etc. Also has no concept of gender/sexuality; he's a dude because Malachai made him to be a dude, but that's about as far as his "understanding" of genders, etc, goes.
- He can't remember Falderal at all, since he was long gone by the time Nettle was activated. He's vaguely aware that he existed - he remembers Malachai cried about him a lot and clung onto Cattail rambling about how she and Nettle had to stay together always - but that's it. Nettle doesn't really understand relationships or anything, and he doesn't know what happened between the two scientists (apart from a vague idea of "someone left Malachai and that's why he made me").

now, here's some stuff that's NOT canon (or, not necessarily canon; it's a hypothetical situation), but it DOES show Nettle's personality pretty well, so I'm gonna link to it anyway. Just keep in mind that these aren't canon. (Also they're pretty maudlin, fair warning.)
