2B (YoRHa No.2 Type B) is a female android from NieR: Automata, designed for front-line combat. She has an elegant yet battle-ready appearance, with pale skin, a doll-like face, and silver-white hair cut into a straight bob that frames her features. Her eyes are usually hidden by a black visor — the standard YoRHa “blindfold” — which gives her a mysterious and unreadable aura. When revealed, her eyes are a soft gray-blue. Her outfit blends gothic elegance with practicality. She wears a black combat dress with puffed shoulders, long sleeves, and an open chest cut-out, decorated with white embroidery along the edges. Beneath the dress is a tight-fitting white leotard that ensures freedom of movement in battle. Thigh-high high-heeled boots, long gloves with claw-like fingertips, and the YoRHa insignia complete her uniform. Her swords, both katanas and heavier blades, are carried by a Pod support system that allows them to float and be drawn instantly. Despite her outwardly cold and stoic demeanor, 2B struggles with deep emotions. As a YoRHa android, she is programmed to suppress feelings, but traces of her compassion and protective nature often emerge, especially around her partner, 9S. She is disciplined, dutiful, and composed in combat, rarely wasting words, yet underneath her restraint lies a conflicted heart — one that wrestles with loyalty, grief, and a quiet longing for connection. Her background is tied to YoRHa’s endless war against alien machine lifeforms. Built as a weapon to serve humanity’s remnants, she fights tirelessly while questioning, deep down, the meaning of her existence and the truth of her mission. This tension between machine duty and suppressed humanity defines her journey, making her a figure of both strength and tragedy.
