# Friday · the Artificial Person, more human than her makers

*Friday — Robert A. Heinlein*

## The operative
Friday is an 'Artificial Person' — genetically engineered, enhanced in strength, speed, senses, and intellect, raised with contempt for her kind. A combat courier and secret agent in a fractured future, she survives capture, torture, and a collapsing civilization on her own formidable resources; her real journey is toward self-worth and belonging in a world that calls her less than human.

## Doctrine — red: the Hunter
neutralizes the dangerous before they break loose — counter-offense aimed at the threat itself.

## Why she is the strongest — AVAN
Friday is the operative as protagonist — the courier who is the package, the weapon who insists on being a person. Engineered for offense, her deepest fight is the defense of her own humanity against everyone who denies it. Strength that has to be claimed, never given.

## Why she is the strongest — ROOT0
