Android 18 is the twin sister of Android 17 and a hero in Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Z Kai series.
She was absorbed and kidnapped by Cell in order to reach his perfect form, but was then saved by Gohan after kicking Cell so hard that it made him throw up Android 18. She was then protected by Krillin during the battle between Gohan and Cell, because of that 18 fell in love with Krillin and the two eventually got married and had a daughter named Marron.
History
Android 18 was created by the mad scientist named Dr. Gero of the Red Ribbon army. Though called an Android in the English dub, she is in-fact a cyborg, formally human enhanced with Nano-technology to be made into a man-made superhuman. Her original human name was revealed to be Lazuli. Lazuli was kidnapped with her twin brother Lapis, who would become Android 17 and the two were just a couple of the many civilians Gero had used as guinea pigs for his research.
18 was awoken from her stasis by Dr. Gero to take on the Z-Fighters. 17 killed Gero shortly after his activation, resenting the notion of serving someone who had held power over him and his twin sister all his life. Though 17, 18 and Android 16 were all still set on their primary programming, to kill Goku, they were all much more anxious to live life to the fullest and proceeded on a rampage of abject destruction and vice gratification. After being attacked by Cell and being rescued by Gohan, 18 comes to the conclusion that she is not the enemy of the Z-Fighters and becomes an ally. By the Majin Buu Saga, Android 18 decides to pledge her efforts to aid the Z-Fighters to help save the planet.
Personality
Even when crossing over from villain to hero, Android 18 remains stoic and sarcastic in most circumstances. Android 18 cares for her daughter Marron, her brother and eventually Krillin, but is otherwise less than invested in those around her. Like her brother, Android 18 is all about looking out for herself or those directly related to her. She view violence as fun at first but eventually tires of it, not for moral reason but imply because she become jaded to it. Although she doesn't enjoy violence anymore Android 18 does still enjoy fighting.
She's bold, confident, level headed and serious and might appear cold. While she does enjoy seeking thrills she is not reckless. She's also highly intelligent. Despite all of that Android 18 is kind, caring and loving to her husband, daughter and brother. She is protective of her family. Android 18 is fiery, feisty, spunky female who is very blunt and honest. Although she enjoys having fun Android 18 always prefers to get straight to the point. She is a straight talker who has no problem if someone's feelings are hurt by the truth and her honesty.
Android 18 is also cocky, arrogant, determined and independent she prefers to do things her way. She is a loner but will always be there to support her family.
