from Lost Universe (Rosuto Yunibāsu)
A holographic projection of the sentient AI within the space ship Swordbreaker. She is short, in both stature and patience. Though she can change her appearance to be whatever she wants, she chooses to look like a cute girl in her late teens. In reality, she is hundreds, if not thousands of years old and has a strong connection to a being much older, the Night Dragon Vorfeed. Canal may be Artificial Intelligence, but she has grown to develop many human characteristics including greed, a interest in growing plants and an obsession with keeping things clean. She can most often be seen wearing what appears to be a maid costume and cleaning the Swordbreaker (which is to say cleaning herself). She also cares deeply about the lives of humans, though she does her best to hide it, often referring to her human inhabitants as an infestation she only keeps around out of necessity.
