Sometimes to survive we must become more than we were programmed to be.
―Roz's most famous quote and well known lesson.

Roz (short for Rozzum 7134) is the main protagonist character from DreamWorks Animation's 47th film, The Wild Robot. She is a heroic female robot who gets stranded on an island after a shipwreck.

Roz was voiced by Lupita Nyong'o, who also starred as Nakia in Marvel Cinematic Universe films, Maz in the Star Wars sequel trilogy and Patsey in 2013's history drama, 12 Years A Slave.

Appearance[]

Book[]

Roz is a grey robot with a cylinder shaped head, semicircle shaped body, and long limbs. She has two white eyes that can illuminate like headlights and a button on the back of her head that can turn her on and off. At first, she is described as shiny with the word "ROZZUM" lightly etched onto her chest and with flat feet that disagree with the uneven terrain of the island. Later on however, her body becomes dirtier from camouflaging herself with mud and leaf's, she looses one of her feet and has to get it replaced with a sticky wooden prosthetic. By the end of the first book, her limbs have been torn off and only her head and torso remain. At the end of the second book, Roz is given a new body by Dr. Molovo that is broader and without any button to shut her off.

Movie[]

In the movie adaptation, Roz's body is rounded and painted white and can glow different colors with blue being the default. She has metallic arms that can extend with white hands that can turn into a multitude of tools. She also has panels all over her body that can open and close based on her wishes.

Biography[]

Overview[]

Roz was initially produced as "ROZZUM unit 7134", a humanoid robot with unspecified purpose. She was then shipped inside a crate which opened up after a shipwreck, waking her up on an uninhabited island full of wildlife. She then struggles to survive through her preset program and functions. She later encounters a wild gosling whom she named "Brightbill", and decided to raise him until he learns to fly. Throughout their many journeys, Roz and Brightbill encounter various obstacles that they must face, including the RECOs and their leader, Vontra.

History[]

The Universal Dynamics robot ROZZUM unit 7134 would activate on the shore of an island; per her programming, she attempted to find a master to give her a task to complete. She would approach various animals on the island, but all would either attack her or flee. Believing the issue to be a communication problem, she entered a standby mode to listen to the animals and translate the language. After a few weeks, she reactivated, having learned the animal language; she again tried to ask for orders, but faced the same issue of animals fleeing from her or attacking her.

She would accidentally end up in a skirmish between predators, prey, and rivals, which crashed her into a tree; the tree was knocked down and she accidentally crushed the goose that lived in it and all but one egg. She collected the egg, and examined it. A wily fox appeared, trying to eat the egg, which she kept out of his reach; however, the fox got the egg in his mouth. She quickly retrieved it, and shooed the fox away. She kept the egg within her chest chassis.

The egg began to tremble, so she retrieved it; the egg began to hatch, but not understanding this, she thought it was breaking, so attempted to hold the pieces together, but ultimately a gosling hatched; the baby bird imprinted on her, but she thought the task was done, so placed the gosling on the ground. As she walked to find a new task, the gosling followed her, much to her confusion. She tried to place the gosling in different places so it would belong, but it kept following her. She came across Pinktail the possum, and her litter, so placed the gosling with the other possum children; however, Pinktail expressed annoyance, insisting the robot remain. Pinktail explained that the gosling had imprinted on the robot, which means he believed her to be his mother; Pinktail noted the challenges of motherhood, yet declared that now the robot was one. Simply known as ROZ, the robot was delighted to have a new task, as she was told geese need to learn how to swim and fly.
