Roll

Roll (ロール) is a kind-hearted humanoid robot, created by Dr. Light. She helps Dr. Light around the lab and does house keeping. She is Mega Man and Proto Man's sister, and is excellent at building gadgets for Mega Man to use. In Super Adventure Rockman, Roll will shut down if Rockman can't stop Dr. Wily and 16 Robot Masters from Mega Man 2 and Mega Man 3. In some games, she uses a communicator to give tipps for the player. Roll is the only female in the Megaman Classic series and although she is thought to be clever but cowarding, in Marvel vs. Capcom and its sequel, she is a playable character and uses an infamous weapon referred to the Roll Buster. It fires red plasma blasts and when she triggers it, she shouts "Roll Buster!". Most of the time she can be defeated easily but due to her small size, she is hard to hit.

Trivia

 * She was named to match her counterpart's name ("Rock" 'n' "Roll"). Rockman is Mega Man's japanese name.
 * Roll is a playable character in Mega Man: Powered Up as a download. She's also in the Marvel vs. Capcom series, though she's very weak in these games and is put in as a "joke character".  Roll also is a selectable racer in the Mario Kart inspired Mega Man: Battle & Chase.
 * In Mega Man 1 to 7, she wears a simple red dress, but in Mega Man 8 and later games her visual was changed.
 * In Mega Man: Powered Up, you can download new clothes for her such as knight's armor or a raincoat.
 * All the weapons from the downloadable skins of Mega Man: Powered Up (giant fish, lance, umbrella, etc.) have a similar usage of her weapon Roll Swing (a broom).
 * Her favorite color is red.
 * According to a 1999 interview with Keiji Inafune, Roll was originally intended to be playable alongside Mega Man in Mega Man 2, but the decision was made to not change the formula carried over from the first game. This was because they felt that the game wouldn't have worked as well with a co-op two player mode, and because the executives at Capcom didn't want to promote a game starring a girl when at that time they felt that their home console audience was made primarily of boys.
 * Roll and Mega Man are sometimes thought to be boyfriend and girlfriend by fans, and in Mega Man: Powered Up, Copy Roll makes note of their relationship, using it to intimidate the original.
 * Incidently, the MegaMan and Roll Caskett from the Mega Man Legends series (which are entirely different from the classic series Mega and Roll) actually are a couple and are not related.
