Uran
Uran is Astro Boy's tomboy-ish younger sister. She was created for by Dr. Ochanomizu, along with Astro's Father, his mother Mitchy, and his older brother Cobalt, in order to give Astro a more realistic childhood. However, because she was made by Dr. Ochanomizu and not Dr. Tenma, she is not nearly as sophisticated as her older brother and lacks his special powers. However, her jealousy of Astro and desire to prove herself sometimes leads to her disguising herself as her brother in order to have adventures of her own... usually with unfortunate results.
