Janet from The Good Place
Janet is the source of all information and knowledge in The Good Place. They also serve as an assistant, summoned by the phrase, ‘Hey Janet.’ Besides omniscience, their abilities include teleportation, retrieval, and reality warping. It is important to note Janet is not a robot, but rather an anthropomorphized vessel of knowledge. Therefore Janet is genderless, making for awesome non binary representation. Good Janets are cheerful and have a sunny disposition. Every iteration of Janet is played by D’Arcy Carden.

Despite this, Korosensei deeply cares for their well-being and loses his temper when any of them are put in danger. You can paint the tentacle fingers yellow with acrylic paint to match your gloves. If you don’t want to use a patch on the tie, you can paint the moon on as well.
