Gadget | Gadget, a clockwork doll crafted by [[Juppo]], served as a companion to [[Meg]] on her ventures and was entrusted to her as his master. An exceptional creation, Gadget was a product of advanced [[trickster]] techniques, possessing the ability to interact with people, act independently, and even learn. When initially constructed, Juppo likened him to a newborn, requiring fundamental concepts like handshakes to be explained. | ||

Although incapable of feeling pain, Gadget demonstrated emotions. For instance, when Meg affectionately knocked on his head during their first encounter, Gadget did not experience pain but felt apprehension at being "struck" until the meaning of the gesture was clarified. | |||
Among his diverse abilities were a transformation protocol that reached its true potential during the [[Dunan Unification War]] and a thermal detection capability. However, it should be noted that Gadget was not waterproof. | |||
The intricacies of Gadget's internal mechanisms remain largely obscure, except for his utilization of a mainspring (or wind-up) power source. Bamboo was chosen for his joints due to its flexibility, and his sturdy construction allowed him to support Meg's weight, occasionally being used as her mount. | |||

Originally assigned by Juppo to accompany Meg back to [[Lenankamp]], Gadget eventually acknowledged his responsibility as not merely bringing her home, but also safeguarding her wherever she ventured. Consequently, he agreed to accompany her in her quest to locate her uncle who had headed towards [[Crystal Valley]]. | |||
[[ | During their journey from [[Greenhill Principality|Greenhill]] to [[Muse Principality|Muse]], Meg and Gadget encountered the [[Hero (Suikoden II)|leader]] and decided to join the [[New State Army]] after Gadget recognized the leader's resemblance to Juppo. Operating as a special forces unit within the army, Gadget played an active role in their endeavors. | ||

Despite being crafted for Meg by Juppo, Gadget developed a distaste for Meg's tinkering, often evading her attempts to modify him. However, Meg found enjoyment in tinkering with Gadget, taking him apart and reassembling him, albeit occasionally ending up with extra screws. Meg delighted in repairing Gadget and even contemplated improvements such as waterproofing, although Gadget was not keen on this particular upgrade. | |||
Years later, in a | After the [[Dunan Unification War]], Gadget continued to accompany Meg, despite her self-centered nature, while he struggled with his assigned role as her guardian. Together, they embarked on an unusual adventure alongside [[Millie]] and [[Nash Latkje|Nash]] during their journey to Crystal Valley, inadvertently triggered by [[Viki]]'s [[teleport]] magic. | ||
Years later, in a burst of inspiration, Meg reconstructed Gadget from scratch, giving rise to the more advanced entity known as [[Gadget Z]]. | |||
