Her classmates at school named her Key, as in the "key" to a strange mystery. Key is an android, created by a kindly old scientist wanting to use his skill in robotics to create peace and love in the world. For some years now, his creation Key has been going to school, just like a regular girl, albeit one who only ages when the kindly doctor exchanges her artificial body for an 'older' one. So what if she doesn't really understand how to act human yet, or even how to smile. She's still just like a regular girl, even if she was built, not born.
