Personality Data in NieR: Automata

Alright, so I know I’m super late to the NieR train (like,, uber late, even. I just finished Automata a month or so ago and am just starting Replicant lol) but I’ve been chewing through the light novels and something that was pointed out to me got me thinking. Spoilers for Long Story Short/Short Story Long/YoRHa Boys abound, be wary. This is gonna be a kind of stream of consciousness so bear with me.

The numbers in YoRHa classifications are indicative of their personality type (at least for later models. for A2′s squadron they were both personality and combat class); we don’t get many examples of this in game or in supplementary canon, but there are enough to provoke thought. No. 21s (21O and 21S (both the one from YoRHa boys and the one from the Pearl Harbor descent)) are calm and logical with little tolerance for nonsense, No. 9s (9S, Lab No. 9, and 9H) are bright and kind with an insatiable curiosity and a penchant for drastic personality shifts... hell, you could even argue that the No. 3s we get (3A from YoRHa boys and 3S who is the server admin for the Bunker) have similarly abrasive personalities as well despite us not knowing that much about the latter.

I say all that to say that the personality type of the androids that we arguably see the most (No. 2s) is very... vague. A2 was sweet and a little ditzy at the beginning of her deployment but turned hard and jaded after the destruction of the Mount Ka’ala servers and the death of all of her comrades. 2B is cold and closed off for the most part, only warming up to 9S (and always coming to regret it later). 2D is very detached and aloof, mostly because of his true designation and isolation from most other YoRHa. In almost all of their cases, their coldness is something learned, not something they start with as a baseline personality trait. So, it begs the question; what brings all these No. 2s together?

Attachment (and self doubt, but that’s another post for another time). All of these androids form attachments to the people around them at the drop of the hat. 2B has 9S, 2D has 9H, and A2 has... so many people that i sort of lost track while reading Short Story Long. You could also paint it as a fierce, unwavering loyalty; especially for 2B and 2D, given their true classification as E models. This loyalty/ease of attachment gets in the way of their duties constantly, to the point where they’re reprimanded by command for not fulfilling them (or, in 2D’s case, decommissioned entirely and swept under the rug). Similarly, in A2′s case, her attachments to the resistance members she met alongside her own squadron are what drive her and her hardened heart. Getting vengeance for them by killing every machine lifeform she can is her reason to live and keep fighting. 

This whole thing is probably a super reach, but it’s still something interesting (and sad, at least to me) to think about.
