Roll Caskett is a video game character, the adoptive "sister" of MegaMan Trigger, and a character in the Legends series of Mega Man games.

[edit] History

Roll Caskett is the granddaughter of Barrell Caskett and adopted sister of Mega Man; she also serves as his "Spotter" on his missions and helps craft new items for him.

Ten years before the events of Legends 2, her parents Banner and Matilda mysteriously disappeared during their attempted venture into Forbidden Island. It was then that her grandfather began raising the then five year old Roll. Now 15, Roll is a brilliant mechanical genius who builds and maintains everything mechanical for the Caskett family, from the Flutter to Mega Man's weapons.

[edit] Personality

While the original version of Roll (Mega Man Classic) offered little more than just being a support role to her brother Mega Man during his adventures against Wily, Roll Caskett is considerably more involved in Mega Man Volnutt's escapades. Roll is responsible not only for building and upgrading Mega Man's weapons and other equipment (this was Dr. Light's responsibility in the Classic Series), but also serves as a Spotter (or guide) for Mega Man. So in a way, the relationship between Mega Man and Roll during their adventures is a lot like the relationship between Operator and NetNavi in the Battle Network series.

Roll is sweet-natured, and quite energetic when it comes to her engineering abilities; but she is constantly plagued with worry about Megaman, whose duties as a Digger tend to put him in considerable danger. Though she certainly knows better than to try to come along with him, Roll devotes herself to doing whatever she can to help, be it guiding him from the Flutter's computers or upgrading his weapons. She is extremely protective of him. The actual nature of their relationship is disputed; no one really knows if they share a romantic bond or a fraternal one.

In many in game dialogs, Roll appears to be a fan of the Megaman games. For example, it is stated within the game that Roll named Megaman after "one of her favorite video game characters."^[1]
