Ginny Hackle (née Humboldt), also known as Aunt Ginny, is an elderly woman living in Dupont in her familial home, who offers outmoded robots a safe place to stay.[1] As part of the living arrangement with her outmodes, they go out to find "treasures and junk" and bring them back for Aunt Ginny to either keep or sell for "rent".[2]
Character summary[edit source]
Personality[edit source]

Relationships[edit source]
Aunt Ginny has a good relationship with all the outmodes, giving each one encouraging words as she goes through their scrap finds.[3] Her butler, Garrison, is on especially good terms with her as he openly apologizes to her while acting coarse and angry to all the other people in the house.[2]
While Darcy refers to Ginny Hackle as "Aunt Ginny", she is not actually her aunt.[5] The limited interaction between them has been icy, with Ginny being dismissive of Darcy and complaining that Darcy is "too loud".[6]
She also has a hard time remembering names, both for Emmy and Angela, even when the name was stated moments before.
