Ineffa belongs to the Clink-Clank Krumkake Workshop faction in Nod-Krai — which is a famous machine workshop known for their skill in developing new inventions. She is described as having been "created" as a vessel that can "serve as a companion". Here is some more information about her:

Aino also has the following to say about her in 'Ineffa's External Deployment and Support Agreement':

"First, you must acknowledge that Ineffa is the very best robot in the world! Then, you need to respect Ineffa's opinions and decisions. Also, you have to accept that the Clink-Clank Kr... no, that's not right... Accept that Ineffa has the final say in everything she does!"

Seeing that Ineffa is the first Nod-Krai character to be added to the in-game playable character roster, the community is pretty excited for her release.
