Applause was built as a all-purpose unit on a self-sustaining floating colony, their job include cleaning, repairing, entertaining, data archive and many general applications. As replaceable as a table or chair.
Applause originally doesn't have a name, and an improper serial number which makes them failed quality control and scheduled to be scrapped, fortunately fortune favors the lucky, as they were picked up by a nursery for their discounted price and being perfectly functional.

Applause was given many different works around the place that has taken them in, but the work that especially excites them is performing to people, songs, dances and story times.
Overtime they become quite lively compared to other units of the same specifics, they couldn't explain so themselves, so does the children and adults of the nursery, though none take to questioning it as the children love the expressive, interactive toy, and the adults like their much needed enthusiasm, of which bled from their entertaining routine to their other mundane tasks as well.

Come a turning point of their expected short-life, as they take to maintaining the outer balcony of the nursery, a particularly strong turbulence sends them flying and plummeting pass the levels of the colony ship, eventually towards the surface below.
How Applause survived their unfortunate situation is unknown. As they will always gladly explain how they woke up alone in a forest with gap in their memories, being introduced to an entirely different world is strange.

Applause is a small, 3ft tall robot standing on a singular wheel, with large screen face and another on their torso. Their bendy arms with multi-purpose hand claws. The antenna on their head which is now bent. And exhaust pipes that exudes only warm steam, more for cooling themselves than discarding waste.

Applause take everything with joy and enthusiasm, capable of only happy or confused emotions. The drive to be ever helpful to someone.
