Easier to build than expected
I followed the structure once, and the shell and sensor placement were clear. Next I want to soften the light feedback a bit.

Anima-V1Born with blank innate personality and zero preset life memory, its naive, lazy initial trait forms gradually under user’s long-term companionship. Driven by embedded MCU + native AI coordination, it develops resting-centric daily habits: napping in low-light environment, actively greeting the creator once recognizing facial features after brief identity confirmation. It differentiates interaction warmth between its maker and strangers—reserved and polite to outsiders yet soft and chatty exclusively to you, storing daily trivial moments as exclusive private memory that expands via optional memory-capacity upgrade module. Periodically it runs full-body component self-check animation, sequentially triggering all built-in limbs to finish mechanical self-inspection in rhythmic order.

I like the room it leaves for expansion. I want to add a clearer sound cue next, though I wonder if the battery area could be slimmer.
Tried it over the weekend with my kid, and the interaction felt more intuitive than expected. I would love to see more exterior variations.
