Last of the Lamp Crew (depending on how one counts Hugo)
Dr.Periwinkle is very old for a Lamp, old enough that replacing core parts of Their biological system has a pretty high risk of killing them. So when they had a Hearts attack that took out half their hydraulic system they opted to just remove most of their Hydraulic limbs and convert their front “wing” to act as a support for the bodies system.
They took up jogging to help manage their remaining hearts (preventative medicine was a new field at the time, so this was seen as weird.) and then strength training. The improvement in live quality this gave Periwinkle lead to them switching their field of study to Preventative and repair version the more common replace an remove that is more common in Lamp medical fields. They are partially on Hugo’s ship to study human medicine (which tends not to default to just cutting a limb off and replacing it) along with serving as the ships doctor.
They are very confused by human genders, but Their Student Bluu started to use them for Herself so they have been trying to get better at it.
