"Bite me!"
―Uzi's iconic one-liner.
Uzi Doorman, more commonly referred to as Uzi, is the main protagonist of Murder Drones.
She is the rebellious daughter of Khan and Nori Doorman and initially sought to battle against Disassembly Drones, who hunt her fellow Worker Drones, as well as JCJenson and humanity as a whole. Eventually, she grew a friendship with N but the two discovered the Absolute Solver, an immensely powerful artificial intelligence that afflicts her.
Following the events of Absolute End, Uzi succeeded in destroying Cyn's heart, preventing the Solver from taking back her form by swallowing her singularity core of the Solver. This action caused the melded form of Tessa's corpse and Cyn's drone body to collapse into oil and blood, but it inadvertently made Uzi the Solver's new host, which let her inherit the abilities of her late predecessor. Unlike Cyn, Uzi still retained her personality and was not fully overtaken by the Absolute Solver.
Physical Appearance
Uzi takes on the appearance of a short Worker Drone with neon purple eyes and short, dull purple hair. She wears a black striped beanie with a glittery bobble at the tip, and black boots with long, dark purple light purple striped socks. She also wears a black hoodie with a white emblem on the front depicting a battery with two bones going across it, creating an "X" shape. The bottom of the hoodie has two white stripes wrapping around it, and the left sleeve has a white Secchi disk symbol on it. The hoodie also has black fur around the bottom and the collar. She also has a black choker around her neck with a skull and the number "002" on it.
Prom Outfit
In The Promening, she is seen donning a short, strapless dark purple dress along with midnight purple colored laced boots, given to her by her father, who sourced it from a deceased human skeleton he found. She also wears dark purple long gloves that are a lighter shade of purple then her dress.
Camp Outfit
In Cabin Fever, she is wearing a large backpack with bat wings on both sides before her Absolute Solver transformation.
Solver Form
In her "Solver" form, her eyes are no longer visible, being replaced with an Absolute Solver symbol or the symbol "X", which Disassembly Drones have. She also grows several jagged teeth and has large, bat-like wings with claws on the sides and a tail with an Dark purple raptor-reminicent head with small spikes and a crocodile-like mouth and purple glowing eyes, which she used against V. In Episode 6, she gained control over this form.
Epilogue Changes
After assimilating the Solver within her, Uzi's eyes shift to an orange-purple gradient. Her tail's eyes are yellow because of the Absolute Solver's consciousness, while her left wing is also the same color as Cyn's. She also sprouts three tentacles from her back, which she can get rid of and summon at will.
Personality
Uzi acts quite rebellious, sardonic, cynical, insecure yet determined and believes that all of her fellow Worker Drones should rise and stand against their creators who wish to have them all dealt with like garbage, much to the general unconcerned nature of her peers. She has been described by Liam Vickers as a "little devious twerp."
Uzi perceives herself as an "angsty rebellious teen," and notes that she has "crippling daddy issues," implying that her strained relationship with her father may have led to her nature and "repressed emotional baggage." She can be obstinate at times, insisting on her ideals and actions even if others disagree with her, although this may more directly be a result of her lack of caring in social norms and potentially sociopathic traits making her lack empathy for her peers. Despite her emotional issues, Uzi's intelligence seems above that of her fellow workers, seeing as she built a railgun that can produce enough power to destroy a Disassembly Drone from scratch.
However, following her self-exile from her colony, she began to develop paranoia as a bizarre symbol begins appearing in her eye causing glass to crack whenever she attempts to look at herself, leaving her unsettled. Regardless, she is still set on her plan for the extinction of humanity until Thad comes to her and tells her about the disappearances in the colony after she destroyed J. Despite her dislike of her people, she chooses to return upon the realization that J may have survived the blast and comes upon a mysterious clue with something called the "Absolute Solver", further provoking her paranoia.
After barely escaping from Eldritch J, Uzi is outright traumatized, reacting fearfully to physical contact from N and becoming more obsessive in her research into the Absolute Solver, though as she encounters more and more dire situations, she manages to overcome them, and become more selfless as a result, and more willing to step into the line of fire.
Following the events of Heartbeat, The Promening, and Home, Uzi appears to have reconciled with her father, no longer ignoring towards him and willing to hear him out when he talks about Nori, even if only somewhat. She even develops an intimate relationship with Serial Designation N over the course of the series, displaying jealousy over other campers hanging out with him at Camp 98.7, and this proves to be her breaking point, releasing her Solver Form in a fit of insanity. This was eventually resolved with a heart-to-heart with N, where she revealed that she fears being forgotten and being left alone.
As of Absolute End, she has ultimately acclimated to the colony, and claims that she "doesn't totally hate it" even garnering some respect from her classmates (in addition to direct support from her boyfriend, N and her friend, Thad). However, she is still prone to impulsive action, such as when she releases her Solver Form to show her class, much to their shock.
Biography
Season 1
PILOT
In the pilot episode, Uzi is first shown giving a class presentation for a project in which she talks about her displeasure with how the Worker Drones hide behind the three doors "like cowards", and states that's why her project is a railgun she had created, and that it doesn't work yet. She then states that maybe it does and turns it on and points it at her classmates. The teacher then points out that the homework was a word problem about buying watermelons and asks Uzi if the railgun is supposed to be that color. Uzi looks down at it and notices that its lights are red instead of their usual green, and shortly after it malfunctions. Uzi is then shown in the nurse's office with bandages around her head holding an ice pack to her wound. Lizzy and her friend Doll are seen walking past the room, and she comments "Ew, it didn't kill her!" before laughing and running off. Thad then enters the room after having talked to an unseen character named Chad, where he reveals to the watcher that Uzi is Khan Doorman's daughter, a member of the Worker Defense Force who had built the three doors protecting them. Uzi talks to Thad about her plan of sneaking into the Disassembly Drone lair in search of the last spare part she needs to finish her railgun.
Uzi is later seen waking up at exactly 3:00 AM to sneak out to find the last piece. She sneaks into her dad's room to take a floppy disk labeled "DOOR MASTER KEY" used to open the doors. Uzi manages to open the inner door where Khan is seen waiting on the other side. She can convince him that she wants to examine the exterior of Door One for a school project. Before she leaves, Khan gives her the wrench he used on his first door, which he also states he had used to put Uzi's mom out of her misery when the Disassembly Drones presumably injected nanite acid into her body. While Uzi makes her way through the cold, snowy streets, she steps on a dead Worker Drone's head, which is stuck in the snow. Uzi then looks up and sees the giant spiral made of Worker Drones' corpses which make up the Disassembly Drones' lair.
Uzi enters the lair in search of the last part and succeeds in finding it. However, a Disassembly Drone perches on the landing pod located in the middle of the lair. She hides behind some debris but is spotted by the Disassembly Drone and a fight ensues between the two. Uzi is almost killed but can land a shot on the Drone's head. Its head gets destroyed, and its body goes limp. Uzi celebrates her victory only to witness the Drone's head regenerate. This causes Uzi to panic, so she grabs a dead Worker's arm and hits the Disassembly Drone with it. This fixes the error displayed on its visor and causes it to reboot, however some of its systems are offline, and therefore it cannot detect Uzi as a Worker.
It assumes that Uzi is a Disassembly Drone and introduces itself, revealing that it is known as N. He notices the wound on Uzi's hand and tells her that Disassembly Drone saliva can heal wounds, and tells her to put it in her mouth, still oblivious to the fact that Uzi is a Worker Drone. The two enter the landing pod and Uzi shoves her hand into N's mouth, and they agree to never talk about it. N informs Uzi of two other Disassembly Drones in his squad, J, and V. Uzi also figures out that the Landing Pod is a spaceship and tells N that the company might dispose of the Disassembly Drones after all the Workers are dead and that they could work with them to repair the spaceship. However, shortly after, they hear loud banging from outside of the ship, which N immediately recognizes as J and V coming back to the lair after hunting. Uzi then starts running back to the bunker but is noticed by V, who informs J about it, who is rebooting N's systems, which causes him to realize that Uzi is a Worker.
While Uzi is running back to the bunker, N is seen chasing her from behind, attempting to retrieve her railgun. She managed to reach it, however, could not close the door in time as N was able to hold the door open with his claws. The five Worker Drones, including Uzi, stare in pure horror as N pierces the master key into the terminal with his tail, causing the three doors to open. They try to run, but N quickly catches up to the four WDF members and kills them, before jumping into the ventilation shaft. Khan walks in and notices the doors open and the other WDF members' bodies and asks what Uzi has done. Uzi is unable to respond as N slams onto the ground, throwing Uzi back, however, she lands perfectly and aims the railgun at N, who quickly stabs Uzi with his wing, pins her to the wall, and throws her railgun towards Khan, who is unable to shoot N out of fear, and shuts the door, leaving Uzi for dead. This leads to N feeling sad for Uzi and throwing her to the side when J and V arrive.
Uzi then plays dead while J plants a virus on N for questioning the company. When she leaves through the ventilation system, Uzi is convinced to remove the virus from N using the wrench Khan gave her, so he can help her get into the ventilation shaft, which is too high for her to reach. After going through the vents, Uzi and N witness V and J about to kill off the WDF and some of Uzi's classmates. A fight begins with Uzi fighting J, and N fighting V. Although N was able to overpower and incapacitate V with relative ease, Uzi nearly gets killed, but manages to land a killing blow on J's chest, and spits on her corpse. After the fight, Uzi chews out Khan for leaving her for dead and banishes herself. N then flies off with Uzi and V through the roof of the bunker. While outside, Uzi tells N about her plan to head to Earth and kill all humans, while her eye glitches to a strange symbol before laughing maniacally.
Heartbeat
Sometime after her self-exile, Uzi calls N into the Disassembly Drones' spaceship stating she has found something. Uzi looks into a mirror and the mirror shatters as her right eye turns into a mysterious symbol for a split second. A chained-up V turns to Uzi and states that it is "weird and concerning." Uzi tells her that it's probably the Disassembly Drones' fault. N enters the spaceship ship and Uzi places the badge she had found on his hat, stating that he is the pilot. N asks Uzi if killing all humans is moral, and Uzi explains to him that the humans are past negotiating since they cut off all communication with the Disassembly Drones, while mentioning that the humans also tried negotiating with Uzi's mom. V then points out how Uzi says the Worker Drones are so "conveniently innocent", but Uzi wants to kill all humans. A fight almost occurs between Uzi and V; however, N pulls Uzi away from her to prevent it. N then questions the fact that J was getting orders from someone, and it wasn't the company, to which Uzi simply replies with "Quit complicating my murder plan!"
While Uzi and N are outside the lair, Thad finds them and tells Uzi about the recent disappearances of Worker Drones, which convinces Uzi to return to the Worker Drones' bunker. After Uzi arrives at the bunker with N and Thad, N convinces the Worker guarding the door to let him in, and all three enter the bunker. After sneaking into the room where they fought J and V, they discover J's body is missing, this is when Uzi finds something with "Absolute Solver" written on it and starts reading it. Uzi finds out that this is a program that activates when the host Disassembly Drone is destroyed, and the program attempts to find material to repair the host's body.
Uzi is then shushed by N as they notice a human hand, attached to a long robotic arm that grabs Thad's leg. N fires a missile into the distance to illuminate the rest of the creature, to reveal a large, centipede-like creature crawling on the walls and ceiling. Right after witnessing this monstrosity, the arm pulls Thad towards the creature, however, N throws a shuriken at the arm, cutting it clean off. It then knocks both Uzi and N to the ground and drags Thad into the darkness.
Uzi and N both run after Thad where they see a hologram of him in an attempt to lure them towards the creature. N throws a shuriken towards it, which Uzi kicks mid-air to give it a boost, and it cuts one of the creature's limbs off, which was holding on to Thad. Thad runs away from it, and Uzi asks about J, to which a robotic voice replies that it is trying to repair the host's body, then creates a hologram of Nori, Uzi's mother, and says she's disappointed Uzi doesn't remember them. Uzi asks N about the hologram but he's nowhere to be found.
The creature then creates a hologram of Khan, rips it apart, and eats it right in front of Uzi. It accomplishes its goal of distressing Uzi when it starts moving in on her. It creates a hologram of N which tricks Uzi into giving it the railgun. The creature succeeds in tricking Uzi, mocks her for being an "idiot" and knocks her to the ground. Uzi falling to the ground caused the railgun to hit the ground and malfunction. The creature is about to eat Uzi herself when the real N appears and cuts the creature's limbs off with his chainsaw hands.
N notices that the railgun is about to explode, so he flies her to a safe distance and shields her from the explosion with his wings, which almost destroys the creature. Its heart then crawls towards them only to get impaled repeatedly by N's tail, before turning into a miniature black hole and disappearing. N hears the other Workers approaching and holds out his hand for Uzi to grab. However, she pushes his hand away in pure terror and asks what Disassembly Drones are. He understands that Uzi won't come with him, so he flies away without her. Right after N leaves, Khan and a small group of other Worker Drones enter the room, and Uzi rushes to her dad and hugs him tightly. Khan looks up at N who quickly leaves the area. Uzi is then shown looking up at her room's ceiling which has pictures and drawings of the creature, and other things that she has witnessed.
The Promening
It is the day of the prom, and Uzi finds out that many Worker Drones have recently disappeared and tries to bring the missing posters to her room, only to find out that her father has removed all of the things she had put on her wall, because he thought that Uzi needed to change, and brought Lizzy and Doll to help her get ready for prom.
They then go to Doll's house where Uzi goes to the bathroom to get dressed.
While she was there, she found a pile of discarded mirrors in the bathtub and noticed that Doll was approaching. Uzi can escape through the ventilation shaft using the discarded mirrors as stairs, and while running outside, N appears and tells her that V escaped.
The two then decide to work together to stop Doll, and when they go to prom, they are surprised that V wasn't killing anyone, and that Doll was the one killing the Worker Drones and using the prom to have a chance at revenge against V for murdering her parents. Uzi and N quickly intervene and prevent Doll from killing V, telling her that humans are trying to force them to kill each other and that she won't deal with what is happening to her alone.
A fight breaks out against Doll, who almost successfully kills Uzi before V shoots Doll in the head. The three then investigate Doll's apartment, where they find the bodies of many Worker Drones, along with Doll's parents, when searching for the body of Doll's mother, Doll appears and takes the bullet out of her head and shoots it at Uzi, who stops it from hitting her with her strange powers. Doll feels sorry for her after realizing she was affected by the Absolute Solver and leaves. Uzi then yells that she hates it here.
Cabin Fever
Uzi decides to investigate her mother's past and look for Doll in Camp 98.7 under the guise of a camping trip, bringing her classmates and teacher along with her. N and V supervise Uzi's class while she goes alone to investigate. While investigating in a small cabin, she stumbles upon a calendar that states that all of the dogs were evacuated before the core collapse and are now immortal thanks to science, to which she lets out a sigh of relief before hearing strange noises and seeing a human hand, making her almost drop her flashlight. She then hears screaming from outside and thinks that someone's in danger, only to look out the window and see N, V, and her classmates canoeing on the frozen lake.
Her jealousy of seeing N being happy with the others and seemingly forgetting about her causes the Absolute Solver to activate, breaking the window she was looking out of while she begins to overheat. She starts scavenging through her bag to find an arm she stole from Doll's apartment to feed on but doesn't as V barges in. Uzi kicks her bag aside as V reminds her to continue investigating Doll instead of watching them from the window. She also tells Uzi to stay distant from everyone and that she'll kill her next, scratching her visor while saying so. Just as she leaves, she tells Uzi that N will move on just fine without Uzi if V kills her.
After V leaves, Uzi repairs the scratch on her visor and goes to retrieve her bag. She puts it away and finds a crushed robotic cockroach under it, which she repairs using her powers. She then sees something peculiar about a set of floorboards, destroying them to reveal a Worker Drone's corpse underneath it, surrounded by papers and more robotic cockroaches.
A Keybug crawls onto her hand Uzi tries to slap it away, only for it to crawl away and appear on her other hand, voicing its anger through a holographic display resembling a chat bubble with the text ">:(" written on it. Suddenly, it starts scanning her face and collar, registering her as "002" and opening a holographic display resembling a messaging app on a phone. It sends multiple chat options, each of them being "SUBMIT TIMECARD," "PTO REQUEST," "REGISTER TORTURE CHAMBER COMPLAINT", "END MY SUFFERING (PROMO OFFER DISCONTINUED)," and "CALL ELEVATOR." Uzi questions the elevator, and the cockroach responds with "PLEASE PLACE ME ON PROXIMITY READER (CABIN FEVER LABS)." Uzi asks it where these labs are and what the cockroach is, however, it is registered as "Wear his hat. What argue?" and the cockroach replies with "INVALID RESPONSE." In the background, Doll is seen stalking Uzi, disappearing shortly after.
Uzi leaves the cabin with the green cockroach and sees N and V practicing archery with her class, where Uzi uses the cockroach to communicate with N from a distance. She tells him to not let V know that she's there. N, however, calls out Uzi, making everyone else notice her. Just as he realizes his mistake, Braidon shoots an arrow at her, but she catches it with her powers, only for it to mutate into a demented organic mass. As her class starts fearing her, she runs away to another cabin while V attempts to chase her down and kill her.
Uzi has a meltdown, when she enters an abandoned cabin, closes all the windows, and shuts out the lights, however only one lightbulb remains, and when Uzi tries to destroy the remaining lightbulb, it only turns into a cocoon. Rebecca and Darren, who snuck away to make out, arrive at the cabin. As Rebecca and Darren explore the cabin, Uzi sprouts from her cocoon, fully transformed with organic wings and tail. She then kills Darren and rips Rebecca's legs off, though she manages to escape and warn the rest of the campers about Uzi.
While Lizzy, Emily, Sam, and Braidon try to make sense of what Rebecca has told them, Uzi's eyes flash in the distance, and Braidon realizes that she was who Rebecca was trying to warn them about, only for him to get beheaded with the rest of his body set on fire. The three remaining split up.
Sam is seen running into the woods, only to bump into a tree and land upside-down against it. A book then falls from above, onto Sam's head, and as he tries to make sense of the book, Uzi appears, hanging from the tree and crawling towards him. Sam asks her if the book has pictures, to which Uzi responds that it doesn't, and she checks before brutally mauling him.
Lizzy hears Sam screaming in the distance and then sees Emily waving at her in the distance. As Lizzy approaches her, it's revealed to be Uzi using Emily's corpse as a puppet before dismembering her, showing off her organic bat-like wings. Uzi then skitters towards Lizzy and gets ready to attack, only for V to shield Uzi from Lizzy with her wings.
V approached Uzi, getting ready to attack her. She nonchalantly says "New body, same horrors. Huh, Cyn?" though Uzi doesn't know who Cyn is. She begs V to let her talk to N, to which V refuses, making Uzi angry. Just as V is about to strike, Uzi's organic tail appears beside her and bites her arm off, throwing her to the side. Uzi throws V's blade back at her; however, she deflects it with her other arm. Uzi then pins her against a tree, and V attempts to shoot Uzi with a missile, only for Uzi to stab her in the side of the head with her blade, causing her to miss. The missile lands on the ground next to Lizzy, blowing her away.
Uzi throws V onto the ground and pins her down. V attempts to stab Uzi with her nanite tail, although Uzi bites it off with her organic tail and grabs it with her hand, attempting to stab V with it. However, N appears and picks Uzi up, who stabs his hand with V's tail. Just then, she snaps out of it as N throws her into the sky.
N follows Uzi as they both fall from the sky and they both have a heart-to-heart. Uzi tearfully asks him if he's going to leave her for everything that she did. N says that he missed her, as before they met, scary stuff was scary, and tonight was quite scary without her as well. Uzi admits that she missed him too. He reassures her that they'll stick together using Uzi's tail as a ventriloquist dummy. Uzi laughs and says not to touch it, then does the same thing as N, mocking a British accent just as they both land on the earth with N carrying Uzi.
Uzi apologizes for what she did tonight, and N laughs it off as he tells her once again that they'll both stick together from now on. Uzi hugs him, making Lizzy disgusted while V merely looks annoyed.
The surviving campers make their way back to the bus. The teacher tells V that some of the campers are missing. She looks over at N and Uzi who are sleeping together, as the green cockroach crawls up to Uzi's beanie, then sighs as she takes the blame for all the murders. Meanwhile, as the sun rises, Uzi's hand begins to burn. N notices this and takes Uzi's hand from the sunlight, only for Uzi to twirl it around his, shocking him as he nervously lets go.
Home
Sometime after Cabin Fever, N and V get knocked unconscious by Cyn, who tries to hack them to erase their memories of the past.
Uzi decides to hack into their memories, showing up as a crow, to free N from a tree and save him from the crows. During this, Khan tries to talk to her, but Uzi angrily shuts the door to her room after he thinks she is having a sleepover with N and V. After getting back to N's memories, Uzi and N go to talk to Tessa and J to ask for the key to the mansion's basement, which Uzi can get from J.
V, who is possessed by Cyn, attacks them, and J and Tessa decide to fight against Cyn while Uzi and N go to the basement. After her crow is killed by Cyn's solver form, Uzi hacks into the solver and uses it to see the basement, where she and N find out that Cyn was using it to do experiments on Worker Drones' bodies.
When Uzi then tried to leave their memories, Doll appeared to steal the Keybug and she was forced to leave N's memories, causing Cyn to retake her body and try to kill N. However, Uzi gives Doll her cockroach, and locks the door to her room in Doll's face, causing Doll to leave, which makes Uzi able to hack Cyn again and stop her from killing N. After saving N's life, she can get N and V out of their memories and back to the real world, and they go find Doll, who is now working for J and "Tessa."
Dead End
When meeting "Tessa" for the first time, Uzi's first instinct is to bite her out of spite and demands to know what a human is doing on Copper 9, clearly showing her dislike for humans. Then, turning to see the reconstructed J, Uzi claims how she is pretty tired of killing "this one", to which J claims proudly that "effective drones were cloned more".
Suddenly, Doll betrays "Tessa" and J by taking the Keybug to the elevator for herself, provoking everyone else to chase after her as she descends into the depths of Copper 9 towards Cabin Fever Labs.
While J is ordered to look after "Tessa's" landing pod, Uzi, "Tessa", V, and N attempt to go and explore Cabin Fever Labs. However, soon after they get into the entrance and look for the secret elevator to get further down Cabin Fever Labs, "Tessa" is abducted by a trap which drags her away, prompting the rest of the team to go after her. After trying to catch up with "Tessa," the group encounters a spider-like Untrained Neural Network named Beau which they attempt to shoot down. After it crawls away, a feral worker drone named Alice and Beau emerge, and the team gets knocked out by an EMP which Alice sets off.
Uzi, N, V, and "Tessa" are brought into operating rooms where they wake up. Uzi wakes up with a magnet stuck to her visor and a rope tied to her arms. Uzi first tries to use her Absolute Solver powers to escape but finds difficulty in activating it, possibly due to the magnet. Alice then discovers that Uzi is Nori's kid and calls Beau over, which is where Uzi finds a moment to bite Alice's finger. Uzi is then tortured by Alice who, in retaliation, cuts off one of Uzi's own fingers and stabs her hand.
After getting her finger cut off, Uzi is forced to lie on the table and watch N and "Tessa" get ambushed by the Sentinels which Alice released on them. Uzi gets so overwhelmed to the point that the Absolute Solver gets a chance to possess Uzi and destroy the panel that kept the doors in the office closed, allowing the Sentinels to enter Alice's safe place. As the Sentinels close in on V while she tried to free Uzi from her ropes, they get sucked in and killed by a NULL black hole summoned by Uzi (or the Absolute Solver). V gets the opportunity to carry Uzi, who is partially knocked out, on her back and escape. Uzi then wakes up as V confronts "Tessa" about the Sentinels, and hugs N tightly as soon as she sees him.
After that, the group leaves and tries to kill the corrupted Sentinel to make the trip to the elevator easier. Uzi checks in with N as she notices N looking worried by communicating through their visors, before heading for the elevator. The foursome sees a boot-looped Doll and sees the chance to retrieve the Keybug. However, Doll reveals that it was a trap as the boot-loop was a GIF. Doll then activates the elevator and salutes Uzi as she dives down into the labs, trapping the gang with the Sentinels.
Uzi tries to summon a black hole to make a gateway to the elevator but loses control and starts to severely glitch out. This prompts N to cut off her hand to stop the black hole and as Uzi falls to the ground, the Solver briefly fully possesses Uzi and asks N if he missed her. Uzi continues to glitch as her eyes flicker from purple to yellow and her voice switches from the Solver's to her own.
"Tessa" pulls N, who drags Uzi, to get into the elevator as V sacrifices herself to allow them to safely go down the elevator. V states that she trusted Uzi to look after N and salutes to her before presumably getting attacked by the corrupt Sentinel as the group goes hurtling down the elevator.
Mass Destruction
After falling down the shaft, the group is thrown out of the elevator, and N tries to destroy the rubble blocking the shaft, trying to see if V is still alive, but he accidentally threw some rubble towards Uzi, forcing her to use her Solver powers to deflect it. However, N is reprimanded by "Tessa" and he and Uzi apologize to each other. "Tessa" suggests to N they have Uzi stay behind and he tells Uzi that there are some things she may not want to see. Uzi starts to panic over N seemingly siding with "Tessa", but he tries to deflect her worries and reassure her that they won't hurt her. This only causes Uzi to panic even more, and Cyn takes over for a split second and opens a black hole, which Uzi tries to redirect. The black hole causes a cave in and N tries to reach for Uzi, but she backs away as rubble collapses around them, separating Uzi from N and "Tessa".
Uzi then gets to the cathedral in the center and begins to watch a video of what happened on the day Copper 9's core imploded, after watching the video, she rips off her collar chain in horror before seeing Doll collapse onto the floor dead, with the last words displayed on her visor saying "дАй ОТПОР" (FIGHT BACK). "Tessa" then walks in and assumes that Uzi killed Doll, and "Tessa" proceeds to execute Uzi before N manages to get there in the nick of time and behead her. N then helps Uzi up, but it is too late as Uzi finally succumbs to its influence as the Solver possesses her and she begins to attack N. They attempt to behead N before Nori stops and holds them off.
After a heated battle between the three, N is thrown onto the ground critically damaged. Uzi is about to eat her mother before N wrote on the ground with the oil of his decapitated arm, which triggers Nori, as he writes about N and Uzi's relationship. Enraged, Nori then proceeds to slap Uzi, causing her to snap out of the Solver's control, whilst also kicking Nori like a football into the pit. Uzi rages at N for what he said to Nori as they "did not discuss being gross" and screams in frustration while N frantically reveals that the heart she kicked away was her mom, distressing Uzi even more. N realizes he broke his promise of secrecy to Nori N and they both scream in frustration and anguish as they walk to each other, finally stopping and hugging each other for a long time, with Uzi silently crying in N's arms. "Tessa's" head rolls towards the pit during this and she reveals herself as Cyn who grafted Tessa's corpse onto her own, making a Drone-Human amalgamation. She attacks N and Uzi, attempting to drag them into the pit.
After being dragged close to the pit, N and Uzi cling to its edge, upon that time Uzi makes the decision to sacrifice herself and thanks N for everything. Against N's protests, she then throws N out of the labs with the ship's keys and ultimately, falls into the pit.
In the final scene, it's shown that Uzi is not dead, she was somehow thrown out into the exosphere of Copper 9, witnessing the destruction of Copper 9 resuming.
Absolute End
Uzi is first seen continuing to drift through space, witnessing the destruction on the planet below, before losing her orientation and beginning to tumble aimlessly. Her struggle is brought to an end when a chunk of stone entrapped by a Solver glyph collides with her, granting her something to hold on to. Her mother, who had also been thrown into space by the presumed explosion, stabilizes the two of them and proceeds to converse with Uzi about how to stop the Solver's rampage. Due to the inability to audibly communicate in space, Uzi spells out words on her visor while Nori scratches them onto a rock. Uzi reveals that the patch has been destroyed, whereupon Nori throws her choker to her, scratching out "IF YOU A LIL B-" on her rock. This seems to encourage Uzi, after which her mother instructs her to destroy Cyn's core and tosses her pickaxe to her.
Before Uzi can grab the item, J's landing pod collides with her at high speed, carrying her away with it while leaving Nori behind. Uzi is then pulled inside, revealing N to be the pod's operator, a fact that he cheerfully announces before Uzi complains that he had left her mom behind. After briefly losing and then regaining control of the pod as it flies through the planet's debris field, N and Uzi attempt to reconcile, only to be cut short when one of the Solver's tentacles destroys the pod, sending the two drones tumbling back towards the surface.
N and Uzi grab hold of each other as they fall through the atmosphere, and Uzi works up the nerve to tentatively suggest that they are "...dating now, right?", to which N agrees. The two embrace, before Uzi announces that it is "time to murder a planet", and they continue their descent. Once they land on the surface, they feel the planet shake, they look down into the abyss and see Cyn with Uzi's black hole that she had when she was heading her way to the surface. Then the two watch Cyn walk up to them. While the planet starts to be covered with grey fog, Cyn nearly possesses Uzi, but Uzi prevents that from happening responding with "bite me!". Then Cyn suddenly appears and grabs N with one of her tentacles. Uzi's same hand that she uses her solver gets sliced off by Cyn, and then she quickly pulls out Uzi's heart. N starts distracting Cyn to save Uzi, while she falls on the ground, putting her heart back in regaining her consciousness. She then sees Cyn rip off N's head. Then Uzi gets chased by Cyn, escaping her. Uzi starts pulling N's unconscious body inside a building while Cyn watches them. As Uzi reaches the building, Cyn is seen sprinting extremely fast chasing Uzi and N, but she looses track of where they are: hiding. Uzi, along with N are hiding in a small room while she watched N panic from Cyn. After V appears in the hallway apologizing to N for acting like a jerk to him throughout the show, Uzi sees N's heart get ripped out by Cyn. While Cyn chases V, Uzi gets out of the room her and N were hiding together. She later reappears after Cyn does more damage to the planet, almost being possessed by Cyn again but Uzi stops it. She gets a pickaxe and holds her railgun with her tail, and then Uzi, along with others start fighting Cyn. At the end of the fight, Uzi runs away from Cyn, but Cyn teleports right in front of Uzi and she accidentally pulls out Cyn's heart. Uzi starts burning Cyn's heart, which causes a black hole to appear, making everything black and white. Inside of it, Cyn reaches out for the black hole, but Uzi eats it, regaining the planets color. Then Uzi starts to black out, while N runs up to her.
After the fog clears away, Uzi wakes up coughing, and then looks at the new rainy Copper 9 atmosphere, that being red. She then starts hugging N and then gets hit by V. Uzi then gets aimed at by V's gun because of Uzi's eyes, being purple and yellow. Uzi looks into N's visor as a mirror and calling herself a "damaged oc." Then Uzi continues hugging N and then jumps on V crawling over her. That transitions to a recorded video of that on the board at Uzi's class presentation while she explains that nightmares can be real and that they should've stayed behind the ol' doors. Khan and Nori are seen cheering at the door but Uzi uses her Solver to make them disappear. Then she explains that she no longer hates being on Copper 9 while her other classmates and N cheer at Uzi, while Lizzy and V boo at her at the back of the classroom. She then scares her classmates by deploying her bat wings and activating her Solvers, one on each of her hands.
After the end credits, Uzi walks up to her locker looking at her shattered mirror placed in it. Then the Solver possesses her tail, saying that Uzi looks great and asks her if she ever considers having a bow on her. Uzi then shuts her locker, ending the series.

Notable Relationships
Uzi has been described by V as being the "sad purple one" due to "having no friends". Many of the other Worker Drones, with the exception of Thad, are disturbed by her mere presence (she "freak[s] us out", according to Lizzy). This repulsion towards her is forcefully displayed in Cabin Fever, when her classmates gravitate towards N and V (their supposed predators) rather than be near her. This derisive behavior towards her is even shown by her only family member, her father Khan Doorman, who openly admits that "Doors are [his] real daughter". In the Pilot, he shows little hesitation in leaving her to die at the hands of the Disassembly Drones in favor of saving himself and the other colonists, even when provided the means and opportunity to save her.
Family
Nori Doorman
Uzi's mother, Nori, is believed deceased by the events of the series due to having been euthanized by her husband after being assaulted by the acidic nanites from the Disassembly Drones, so her relationship with her daughter is very ambiguous due to it being unknown how old Uzi was when Nori had to be "put out of her misery", as claimed by Khan.
According to Alice (017), a former associate of Nori from when she was a test subject in Cabin Fever Labs, her first remark upon realizing that Uzi was Nori's daughter was to tell Uzi that she was a lot like her, except Uzi lacking her mother's yellow eyes. As for Uzi, upon learning Alice was affiliated with her mother, Uzi questioned how they knew each other and what her mother was like.
Khan Doorman
Uzi's father, Khan, is her only family member by the time the series begins, as he is the leader of the Worker Defense Force and the engineer behind the blast doors keeping their colony safe from the Disassembly Drones. He is well known for being considered emotionally abusive towards Uzi due to seeing her as a "disappointing failure of a child" At one point, he even went as far as to say that "doors are my real daughter" in an interview, and didn't seem to understand the interviewer's confusion.
However, as the series progresses, Khan began showing more interest into Uzi's life starting in the end of Heartbeat, where he gave Uzi a hug after her encounter with the Solver. This development is also shown in The Promening where he tried to help Uzi during her fight with Doll. Another encounter of him showing more care is in Mass Destruction and Absolute End when he chose to look for his daughter and help her fight against the Solver, albeit to a relatively minor degree.
Allies
Serial Designation N
N is the first Disassembly Drone that Uzi met when she was searching for a missing piece of her railgun.
Upon their initial encounter, N attempts to kill Uzi, leading to a protracted fight that ends with her firing her railgun at him, temporarily decapitating him. Upon regenerating, a malfunction in his optical systems causes him to mistake Uzi for a Disassembly Drone. He helps her heal from an injury he previously inflicted, after which she questions his team's blind faith in their leadership. As the episode progresses, events compel N to throw in his lot with the Worker Drones, helping Uzi save the colony from V and J.
However, despite seeing N as an ally in her goal to kill all humans, Uzi begins to see N in fear after watching Eldritch J seemingly kill her father. However, this fear eventually fades after her guilt becomes "active" upon seeing an incredibly poorly drawn interpretation of herself and N given to her by the latter.
Her short-lived fear of N is dealt with after she realizes that the true monsters are one of her kind, Doll, who also carries the Absolute Solver and resorts to cannibalism after she and Lizzy intend on giving Uzi up to V at the prom before running back into him and she realizes that she does need his help, which elates N as he declares they are "dapper buddies". The two of them break into the prom in an attempt to stop V from murdering everyone but are confused to see her being crowned prom queen just as Doll puts her plan into action, slaughtering several of her classmates in the crossfire as she incapacitates V, attempting to lay a finishing blow on her, but Uzi and N's interference causes this to fail and for Doll to ultimately flee at the end of The Promening after she learns Uzi is infected by the same "sickness" as herself.
In Cabin Fever, Uzi's psychological state worsens due to V's threats and her classmates' inhumane treatment of her mere existence, and said classmates' adoration towards N, causes her to give in to the Absolute Solver, murder several classmates, and initiate a deathmatch with V. N intervenes and manages to get her away from the chaos and talk to her without anything else worsening her condition. Despite her reluctance to talk, she nervously asks if he would leave her. N tells Uzi that she makes the "scary stuff... fun, somehow," to which she agrees. The two embrace after the talk, and Uzi shows an interest in holding N's hand at the end of the episode.
In "Dead End," she feared the worst when she saw security footage of the sentinels attacking N, and after Uzi is rescued from Alice, she wakes up immensely relieved that he survived, and tightly hugs N when she sees him, and they share a hug. While they are hiding from sentinels and trying to forge further into the labs, Uzi notices N's distress and uses her visor to ask him the same thing he constantly asked her during the events leading up to their first encounter with the Solver: "U Good?". N shrugs and they agree to talk more later, as what N learned from "Tessa" was heavy stuff, to which Uzi reassured him with a ">:3" emoji in her visor. They are later shown flipping in and out of holding hands, sweating, and blushing as they walk through the hallway to Tessa. When V and Tessa notice their hand-holding, V's disgust, and Tessa's patronizing comment prompt an angered defense of N from Uzi.
Serial Designation V
V and Uzi have a complex relationship filled with ironically animosity and wariness, yet eventually trust and somewhat friendliness. V was originally hostile to Uzi, seeing her as nothing more than another one of her prey she was sent to devour. In the Promening, she and Uzi do not see eye to eye much, although they seem to be temporarily at an understanding. V begins to see the importance Uzi has to N but disregards it, stating Uzi would have to be her next victim. After seeing that she was a host of the Absolute Solver and her infection was getting worse, V does not hesitate to attempt to dispatch her. When she is saved from being stabbed with her own dismembered tail by N, he tells her that he should have listened to him about not antagonizing Uzi.
Abilities
| Ability | Function |

Trivia
- Uzi is named after the Submachine Gun of the same name.
- Ironically, real-life Uzis are known for their fast fire rate, while Uzi's railgun has an exceptionally slow fire rate.
- Her signature weapon is her railgun.
- Real railguns use magnetic fields to propel projectiles at high speeds, though Uzi refers to hers as a "magnetically amplified photon converger" and it's visually depicted as firing a large green blast, indicating that it may be a directed energy weapon or a laser cannon rather than a railgun.
- She pirates lots of Anime, which is the source of her acrobatic skills.
- Uzi is left-handed.
- This is seen in The Promening where she is seen writing with her left hand.
- Additionally, when she wields her railgun, she is seen holding it in the left-handed position.
- Uzi keeps a stereotypical "conspiracy string theory" of various papers on her ceiling. The papers in Khan's office show that this was a habit Uzi inherited from her mother.
- Uzi is skilled in engineering and hardware, assembling a railgun as a "school project".
- Uzi is noted by N's sensors to have "Plot Armor".
- Uzi is one of Liam Vickers's favorite characters alongside N.
- Uzi's railgun has a sticker on it which resembles the emblem of the SMG4 character Saiko Bichitaru.
- Uzi's clothes come from Hot Topic, according to Rebecca.
- Uzi is a fan of My Chemical Robots, a robot version of the popular emo band My Chemical Romance as seen in her locker.
- Unlike Doll, Uzi has less control over the Absolute Solver and her own body. Examples include:
- The Absolute Solver cracking multiple mirrors
- Uzi's forced transformation in "Cabin Fever"
- The tail of her Solver form appears to have some autonomy in "Dead End"
- In "Dead End," Uzi is possessed by the Absolute Solver and consequently commits manslaughter by allowing Alice to be boot-looped and trampled by Sentinels, and even killing them with a black hole.
- In "Mass Destruction" when she finally succumbs to the Solver's influence and ends up getting fully possessed. She almost kills N and Nori (in her core form) before Nori makes her snap out of it.
- In Dead End, while Uzi is looking around after waking up, her Worker Drone ID (shown as WDID) appears as UZI.
- Uzi has been shown to be associated with crows; as based on Home and official merchandise depicting her as a crow plush. Crows are symbolic of death and transformation, both of which are linked towards Uzi due to her connections with the Solver.
- Uzi was once called "Birdzi" as a crow by the lead animator of the series, Kevin Temmer Tunes, in the YouTube video "Shot I Animated on MURDER DRONES EP.5"
- Due to her height, she stands on a stack of books in order to reach her locker as shown in the episodes The Promening and Absolute End.
