Mini Moon

Name: Mini Moon

Nicknames: Moonie, lil Moon, Crescent Roll, grumpy, sleepyhead, and others

Age: AI programmed to about preschool age

Height: 2’9” (88cm)

Sibling: Small Sun

Caretaker: Sun/Mun (Daycare Attendant)

Likes: lullabies, sleeping, being held, cuddles, bossing Small Sun around, bossing other kids around, his personal space, picture books, plushies, blankets, pranks, successful schemes, exploring outside the daycare

Dislikes: Small Sun tattling on him, getting caught when up to mischief, timeout, restrictions to the Daycare, too much stimuli (ex: noise, lights, jerking around), Suns overly motherly fussing

Programming: Mini Moon is designed to be a friendly animatronic that interacts with children at the daycare. His appearance was meant to help make children less afraid of the Daycare Attendant as well as take some of the constant pressure off of Sun/Moon. He sings songs and is supposed to encourage good behavior and habits in other kids. Mini Moon is also designed to encourage kids to settle down, especially at naptime.

However recently Mini Moons AI appears to have exceeded the boundary of learning he was designed for and now learning behaviors from other children, some which are considered naughty. Snapping, yelling, backtalk, attempts to leave the daycare, and pushing other children are a few of the most notable changes. He is also starting to fight with Small Sun and sass at the Daycare Attendant.

Unique Features: The AI for Small Sun and Mini Moon is designed to learn from actual children so to mimic and blend with them easier. Another unique feature is the presence of sensors throughout the endoskeleton that registers as “pain” if handled too roughly. This was meant to teach kids to play nicer with others and with objects.
