When you initially see A2 in the game, it's in the Forest Kingdom, and it's not for very long. After killing the defenseless machine baby (who also happened to be the Forest King, Immanuel), A2 fights with 9S and 2B, before fleeing and imparting them with the mysterious words: "Command is the one that betrayed you". While the game initially portrays her as a cold and calculated killer, A2 couldn't be farther from that in all actuality.

The truth is, A2 is someone who is lonely and lives with survivors guilt. As a prototype for the 2B and 9S units, A2 and her squadron were sent down to Earth on their first and last mission, The Pearl Harbour Descent. After losing all but three of her squadmates, A2 had to assume the captains duty, though reluctantly, asking for the mission to be aborted multiple times and receiving a no for an answer each and every time, even with less than half of the current units remaining. When she met the remaining Androids on the ground from the last Earth mission (which started nearly 200 years prior), there were hostilities on both sides. Thanks to A2's quick judgment, and the resistance leaders support, both were able to come to an agreement and work together.

Their friendship and teamwork would soon meet its end, as when they moved in to complete their mission, The Red Girls appeared. When they speak, they tell both A2 and her comrade No.4 that humanity has abandoned them, and that they live only to die, that humanity is extinct. Not only that, N2 (The Red Girls) also tells them that all of YoRHa was only created as experimental weapons, that everything was planned on this day, every battle, and every death. That it didn't matter if YoRHa took this server from the machines, because they didn't need it in the first place. When it comes to the fight, all of the other androids present minus A2 are quickly slaughtered by N2 and the machines it controls, and to add insult, a virus over takes some of them, causing them to turn on their comrades. A2, who has by this point been told by multiple other androids that she is extremely human like, clutches her dying comrade, distraught.

When No.4 activates the bomb in her chest, A2 is the only survivor to what can essentially be called a massacre. It's these events of the past that drive her in her mission to eradicate any and all machine life forms. And yet, when A2 meets the pacifist machine Pascal, she spares him. When she's invited to their village, Pascal even offers her a new fuel filter to replace her damaged one. Though she's standoffish and cold, A2 does more than the minimum for the machine village, and even despite her complaining about it, she even goes as far as to build the machine children a slide. A2, despite everything, has remained a kind person, even to the best of her abilities. Even when faced with YoRHa units hunting her down to kill her, she's only ever acted in self defense to them. Even when you first meet her in the forest kingdom, A2 does not attack first. And even despite being attacked by 2B and 9S, she hears out 2B's dying request, and does what she can to try and make amends with 9S each time she meets him, no matter how he shuts her down, even with violence. She even grieves for the machine children when they commit suicide, and shows extreme reluctance to do what Pascal asks of her; deleting his memories or killing her.

Again, A2 is a very lonely person, and she does her best to do what she thinks is right. The problem is, she's also afraid to get close to people because of everything that's happened, and the immense survivors guilt that she lives with. She's bad at approaching people first, and she frequently gets caught up in situations that readily make her look like she's the enemy or bad guy, which doesn't help peoples view of her at all. No matter what happens, if someone sincerely requests something of her, she'll go out of her way to help them, whether it be something like protecting another person, or as tedious as fetching supplies to help improve quality of life.

It's also important to note that all Androids in Automata are programmed with an immense love and loyalty for humans. While in Duplicity, she'll more readily approach people who appear entirely human and offer to help with anything they might need. She'll still be awkward as hell though, since she's had very little socialization in the past 6 years other than other androids trying to kill her.

POSITIVE TRAIT: Kind
A2 is a deeply kind person, a trait instilled in her from the human memories that were given to her. She does a lot of griping about helping people, and she does comment on what a pain it is, but she can't stand to see suffering in her fellow androids. She gave the resistance leader Anemone an ear full when she found out that the androids in the camp weren't treating two android models very well, and were taking advantage of them. She's also made a slide for children Machines when they asked her.

NEGATIVE: Aloof
While A2 used to be a very warm person, and was commented on to be the most human-like of her squad, years of solitude and constant stress from being hunted by other androids has made her not particularly great at social interaction. She struggles to actually speak to people, and struggles to ask for help as well.

NEGATIVE: Vengeful
A2 has survived 7 years on her own due to a promise she kept, and another promise to slaughter every machine she comes across to avenge her fallen comrads, and she will not let anything stop her. While there was a small truce with Pascal's village, after its and his demise, A2 doubles back on this, and is quick to slaughter any machine in her way once more. She clashes with the Red Girls with great ferocity once she finally gets the chance.

NEGATIVE: Stubborn
A2 is bullheaded and determined to her fault. She doesn't change her mind easily about things, and it's difficult to get her to stop once she's started something. Particularly in the region of combat, where her sheer stubbornness has seen her live as long as she has, even as an old and out of date unit.

Powers and Abilities:
- As an android, A2 is significantly more durable than a human, and significantly stronger and faster as well.
- As an Attacker type model, the prototype for both the 2B and 9S models, A2 naturally excels at both offense, and has proven skill in hacking as well. She has bested both 2B and 9S in combat several times previously.
-She has the ability to replace her parts as needed, suggesting that she has a decent knowledge of android anatomy and repairs.
- Unlike the newer YoRHa units, when A2 dodges or sprints, she completely disappears for about a second and a half before reappearing, suggesting that she's moving extremely fast in that moment. It's noted that she has the fastest movement in game.
- Instead of self destructing like newer YoRHa Units, A2 has access to 'Berserk Mode', which removes all of her combat limiters, causing an extreme increase in strength and speed at the expense of her defense, and causes her to overheat quickly. She can move significantly fast, and even leaves a red after image effect. Her body crackles with red electricity while in this mode.
- If left alone, A2 can recover quite quickly from wounds thanks to the nano-machines in her 'bloodstream'. This does not account for superficial wounds to her dermal layer.
- Like the other androids, A2 uses magnetism to keep her weapons on her back, and retrieve them when thrown, though she rarely uses throwing attacks. This means she can call other things to her with said magnetic force as well, should she need to.
- Unlike other androids, A2 has human memories implanted into her. She knows that this person in her memories is not her, but she still lives by the values that she was taught by her :grandmother"
- This means she knows how to knit and farm.
