Four and Belle are some of my main Murder Drones OCs. Four was the first one I ever made, and Belle came shortly after. As such, their stories are very long and under the cut.
Four and Belle were both drones owned by the Collins, a rich family on Copper 9 with ties to the Cabin Fever Labs. Four, known then as Tsuna, was a gardener. Belle, on the other hand, was both a nanny and a plaything for the Collinsā children. The only times she left the mansion were when she snuck out to visit Tsuna. Although she couldnāt speak out against the Collins directly, Belle was stubborn and fiery, a trait she tried to instill in the shy gardener. They brought out the best in each other, and it didnāt take long before they started falling for one another.
Unfortunately, their budding romance was put on the back burner when the Collins rushed their drones, family, and friends into a bunker deep underground. Soon after, humanity on Copper 9 fell. Belle and Tsuna hardly saw each other in the years that followed. Still, when the disassembly drones breached, the first thing they thought to do was find each other. Tsuna was dragged off by disassemblers while protecting Belle, and Belle barely made it out of the bunker in turn. Belle was left to wander Copper 9 alone, and Tsuna was converted into a disassembly drone.
Tsunaās memories were wiped, and she was assigned Serial Designation Four. All the progress she had made in learning to stand up for herself had been destroyed, and she easily fell into being the squad leaderās unquestioning lackey. Things somehow only got worse when she was sent on a mission to Cabin Fever Labs. She was quickly torn apart by sentinels, and her core was stored in an oven by Alice. It was only when Uziās solver destroyed the room that she was freed. Eventually, she reactivated, going eldritch and consuming anything in her path until she regained both her form and lucidity. Horrified by the carnage, she fled the labs in search of her squad.
Belle hadnāt had much luck either. She had zero survival experience and was flying by the seat of her frilly dress. It was inevitable that she would be caught. She was chased down after a supply run gone wrong and torn limb from limb. She lay there motionless, slowly losing oil. Days later, she heard rustling. Her screen was shattered, but she could only assume it was another disassembly drone. She dared it to finish her off. Little did she know it was Four. Taken aback, the disassembler crept up to the worker. Though she couldnāt place it, the half-dead drone seemed familiar. She couldnāt bring herself to kill Belle, instead taking it upon herself to repair her.
Four didnāt know the first thing about engineering, and as a result, Belleās repairs were sketchy and mismatched at best. She was barely functional, and Four couldnāt figure out how to fix her sight either. Still, in their time together tinkering, they grew close. Belleās initial spite and resentment began to soften as she recognized little mannerisms. Although it seemed impossible, she couldnāt shake the feeling that this supposed monster was Tsuna. After a long heart-to-heart, Four admitted that she couldnāt remember Belle, but she still loved her. She was willing to do whatever it took to help the worker, even if it meant putting herself in danger. So, she abandoned the search for her squad and carried Belle to the nearest outpost. Although the exchange was heated, they took Belle in for repairs and let Four leave with her life.
Thereās a lot more lore about these two, but this thing is already crazy long, so Iāll leave it at that.
