 Beautie was built by 8-year-old Elaine Girbachs, daughter of criminal technologist, "[[Dr. Gearbox]]." Elaine constructed Beautie to be a playmate, companion, and protector. Despite all of the intelligence and cleverness of this little girl, her father merely ridiculed and shunned her creation, evidently humiliated that such an advanced android had been built by his daughter single-handedly. Deeply hurt by her father's rejection of her technical accomplishment, Elaine ordered Beautie to leave and to forget about her, but Beautie's own heuristic design algorithms developed and resisted the command, repeatedly helping Beautie to re-establish memories back to her past and eventually rediscovering her creator.
-Beautie arrived in Astro City in the Fall of 1969. Her first recorded heroic act was foiling the kidnapping attempt made upon Joanie Wheaton, the heir to the [[Businesses#Wheaton Investments|Wheaton Investments]] fortune. Six months later, she assisted [[Honor Guard]] in defeating the [[Toymaker]], who'd attempted to copy her design to build a robotic toy army. The Honor Guard brought her into their ranks, leading to legal action declaring her a free person, using the [[Loony Leo]] v. [[Fagos Funny Features]] decision as precedent. As part of the case settlement, Beautie acts as the corporate symbol and representative for Tip-Top Toys, making appearances nationwide.

 In 1978, she broke up an attack on the [[Entertainment and Media#Astro City Gay Freedom March|Astro City Gay Freedom March]], which inspired the gay community of Astro City to adopt her as their favorite hero. Not long afterward, she moved into an apartment located over a gay bar in Astro City. Their company provides some relief and a barrier of sorts against the not-just-occasional advances of obnoxious males with romantic notions.

Given her design – she was not built to be anatomically correct, plus her skin is rigid ferrostyrene on an omnitanium frame - this suits her quite nicely.
