Character Profile: Roll

Roll is a household robot and Mega Man's sister, who assists him on missions. She possesses several home-appliances, most notably a vacuum cleaner. Unlike her usual video game appearance, usually that of a young to teenage-like girl, Roll, in this series has an appearance of young adult-like woman.

Roll is one of the main characters in Ruby-Spears's Mega Man animated series, appearing in all episodes. She was created as a teenager in the cartoon, and her arm can transform into several home appliances, which she can use for combat. According to the first episode, she apparently adapted these attachments as weaponry herself, whilst Doctor Light was modifying Rock into Mega Man.

Although usually below par in combat compared to Dr. Wily's robots, she would often fight alongside Mega Man, often defeating other robots on her own. She is voiced by Robyn Ross, except for a single episode, in which she is voiced by Kathleen Barr (note that there is much debate over how many episodes Ross voiced Roll in, with some sources saying Ross and Barr alternated the role in the first season before Ross became Roll's full-time voice in the second season).
