-====== Uran ======
-**Uran** (also known as **Astro Girl**, **Sarah** and **Zoran**) is [[characters:Astro]]'s younger sister. She appeared in all the Astro Boy series to date, although she didn't appear in [[:movie|the movie]]. She is portrayed as a typical small girl, being cheeky, mischievous and can even be downright annoying at times. She cares for, yet can be often jealous of her brother, for example during an [[episodes:2003:the case of the phantom fowl|episode of the 2003 series]] she was tired of living in Astro's shadow and wanted to do something heroic herself.
-===== Appearances =====
-====Original manga====
-Uran was first introduced in the [[:darkhorse|original manga]].
-FIXME
-====1960's series====
-Astro Girl was presented as a birthday present to Astro, who rejoiced claiming he had always wanted a sister. She proves to be a handful, teaching [[characters:Astro]] what it actually means to be an older brother.

-====1980's series====
-{{ :characters:uran1980s.jpg?140|1980s appearance.}}
-Uran was built by [[characters: dr elefun|Dr. Elefun]] in the episode [[episodes:1980:Uran the Tomboy]] as a gift to [[characters:Astro]], in the [[episodes:1980|1980s series]]. She is the third robot addition to Astro's family, the first two being his parents. Uran is an extremely mischievous little girl who constantly lands her older brother in trouble. While lacking Astro's weaponry and propulsion systems, she is extremely powerful (50,000 horsepower, which is half of Astro's horsepower), regularly accompanying Astro on various missions (or attempting to, at the very least). Like Astro, she is fully capable of experiencing human emotions. During the episode [[episodes:1980:urans twin|Uran's Twin]] Uran was tired of being girlish, and she wanted to have an identical copy of herself to do her tasks for her (with consequences), and in [[episodes:1980:urans quest|Uran's Quest]], she went on an "quest" to find God, which eventually led her to allow a children's' theme park computer to go insane. She eventually got fed up with living in Astro's shadow and even challenged [[characters:Bruton]], however she didn't damage him one bit and instead got herself held hostage.
-====2003 series====
-{{:characters:fef.jpg|2003 appearance (as Zoran).}}
-Renamed Zoran, she re-appeared in the [[episodes:2003|2003 series]]. She was introduced in the episodes [[episodes:2003:little sister big trouble|Little Sister, Big Trouble]]. Zoran was created by Dr. O'Shay in order to give [[characters:Astro]] a family (or at least part of it) in his plan to make Astro more human-like. When Astro first sees her, she is pulling O'Shay's nose and refusing to let go. O'Shay gave Zoran one power: the ability to communicate with animals (the purpose of this isn't made clear). This allows her to talk to and befriend an injured bird she found (named Houdini), and instantly gets up to mischief, however manages to almost save a professor yet gets herself trapped in a giant robot bird. Uran is pretty much shown to be how she always looked with a different dress in order to appeal to more western audiences.
