Kind of a micro meme here. Since Angela and I think Lyall both have superhuman senses of smell, it'd be handy for us if you could drop by here and briefly describe the kind of things your character smells of. It's the kind of thing I like to know.

Because, you know, I'm weird.

Ozone, synthetic oil, copper, sulphur, gasoline. Chris works both on the physical aspects of avionics and the programming aspects, so she's often dicking around with the guts of home-made remote-controlled airplanes of various stripes.

Since she got her robo arms & legs, this has gotten much stronger, especially the electronics smell. Think of it like a combination of new car smell with brand new computer server farm with a hint of jet fuel.

If your characters have super hearing of any kind, they can also probably hear her internal mechanisms moving, and also a weird electronic buzzing noise, especially from her chest (which isn't that odd since she's got no mechanical parts THERE...) (HMM)

OH. I don't know if y'all are sensitive enough to smell illnesses, but Chris now suffers from chronic mild-to-moderate deficiencies of several dietary minerals, primarily iron, copper, and zinc. She takes a bunch of dietary supplements and relies on Shiro to get her food that'll keep her uptake of all this stuff up, but she still suffers from periodic bouts of severe anemia and tiredness. This is due to her metallic parts leeching the metals out of her blood for self-repair and maintenance purposes.

Wow that would be fun for rei to experience. (The smell wouldn't be so great and the sounds would be disturbing.)

I am all for more people reacting really negatively to Chris in general, frankly. :3
