robot is name SPRITE
solar powered research information tech entity
flower is named dianthus and goes by Diane
SPRITE was sent to planet Chyria WY6, a planet that is completely covered with a jungle like terrain.
There are no oceans on this planet but there are many large rivers and the air is very humid
there are no animals on this planet, the inhabitants are all plants. They resemble some earth animals such as hummingbirds, frogs, deer, bats, dogs and cats but they are they are sentient plant life.
during the night they fold up into flowers and dream. they physically cannot stay awake when it is not daytime.
Each day and night is approximately half as long as it is on earth and the planet is a quarter the size of earth.
There are two suns, one is green and one is yellow
since the planet is so small there is only one moon, it is not round and looks like a potato.
SPRITE is sentient but was built by labryx technologies
SPRITE is there to observe and collect samples of stuff
he is about 2 feet tall but can extend to 4 feet if he needs to for some reason
Diane is a native of Chyria WY6 of the subspecies Dianthus Thephyra
Dianthus Thephyra come in the purple to pink range and most often resemble smallish mammals like cats, small dogs, foxes, raccoons, possums and rabbits. They are fairly common and not more than a foot tall.
She is very playful and loves to chase small insect-like seeds.
If she were human she would be in about her late 20s but she acts much younger
she likes to weave rainbow bracelets for people out of multicolored grass
She helps show SPRITE around when everyone is scared of him
Diane and SPRITE end up falling in love but her lifespan is only about 30 earth years and SPRITE does not age
Shortly after Diane's death SPRITE is called back to the space station with all of his research
before he is sent out to another planet he requests that they wipe his memory of Diane because he has started making errors
He doesn't directly remember her, but parts of the data erase failed and he has vague memories.
