7 is the seventh creation of The Scientist. She is a brave and self-sufficient warrior and adventuress, rebellious and shunning 1's cowardice and authoritarian attitude. She is the sole female stitchpunk. Her fastening is a single toggle button in a vertical button hole.

Personality

7 is a spit-fire. She is strong-willed, rebellious, independent, and defiant. However, she is calm and confident in battle. She is frustrated with the others for not being willing to go out and fend for themselves like she has, and she especially has abhorrence to 1 by his ego regarding leadership mannerisms. She is also specially protective of 3 & 4, having a maternal role over them. At the beginning of the film, she had more of a hardened nature— but at 9's arrival, she began to develop a more sensitive and emotional side.

Character Relationships

  • 9 - 7 develops a more gentle personality after she first meets 9. She is often annoyed with his carelessness and the trouble he gets the stitchpunks into, especially reprimanding him after getting 2 killed. She eventually starts to care for him and even tries to convince him not to sacrifice himself.
  • 8 - 7 is fairly agitated by 8 because he is very much loyal to 1.[citation needed]
  • 6 - 7 is very much confused by 6, and she tries her best to ignore him; Nonetheless she will defend him, and she is also melancholic.
  • 5 - 5 and 7 are very good friends; 5 sewed 7's impaled leg that she received during the Winged Beast fight.
  • 3 & 4 - 7 is very protective and caring towards the twins, and she somewhat acts as an especial motherly figure to them.
  • 2 - It is evidential that 7 and 2 have been good friends because 2 was excited about 7's return after she killed the Cat Beast; In sympathetic desolation for 2, 7 tries to kill 1 after finding out he selfishly sent 2 out to his death.
  • 1 - 7 has a ruminative intolerance towards 1; she left him and his cowardice to go scavenge for any survivors, hunt for utilitarian items/equipment, and fight any machines domiciling in the Emptiness.

Physical Description

9 (2009 Film)

7 appears to be made from a small weave of corduroy. The primeval color of her fabric skin when precedingly created became bleached from long amounts of exposure to the sun due to her long intervals of exploration.[citation needed] She wears a bird skull from a crow as a helmet, and the quadrate bones of the animal hang down from the sides of her helmet acting sort of as earrings. Two long natural color-striped feathers are strap-tied to the back of her helmet which visually shield her backside, which covers a previous injury where a patch of striped fabric now obscures most of the number inked on her back. It is possible that 7 discovered the bird skull while she was imprisoned in the birdcage that resides in the factory when captured by the Cat Beast.[citation needed] She wears a small russet metal bracer on the forelimb of her right arm and wears a small shield on her right arm made from part of an old bullet shell and a galvanized flat washer tethered altogether with a durable string. Her spear is made from a black clock hand and a small knife blade. She loses her helmet and shield near the end of the film.

Aside from the aforementioned "earrings", she does not have hair nor accessories to distinguish her as being “feminine" appearance-wise. However, her structure is a taller and slimmer figure than her other counterparts, giving her a svelte appearance. “Feminine" stitchpunks such as 7 have a shoulder delineation that is noticeably curved sooner to the distance between the tip of the shoulders to the actual neck joint of the endoskeleton. The shoulders are less straight in the outlined shape and rather come down with the natural curvature slightly more vertiginous than the other eight stitchpunks from the Scientist. The chin-line shape is an other physique that can be varied, as how 2, 5, 6, and 9 particularly have a similar rounded chin-line shape. 1 and 8’s facial formality were modeled differently from the others, but 7 and the twins (3 & 4) have a more pointed silhouette of their chins (though 3 and 4 do not have a specified gender).

Biography

7 and 9

9 (2005 Short)

The soul of 7 can be seen coming out from the Talisman and returning back to her numbered skin after 9 combined the Cat Beast's and his own Talisman together.

9 (2009 Film)

"9" Scientist's Facebook

According to the Scientist's Facebook page, 7 was created and awakened on Monday, August 31 at 5:41p.m. She was noted for her precision and ability to mediate, which was observed to be a natural balance to the conflicting personalities, such as 1's skepticism and 5's gullibility.[1]

7 is first seen on screen unnamed in 1's explanation of the war.

Later, her shadow is seen, finding the map 9 and 5 lost on their way to save 2.

She then appears at the fight with the Cat Beast, leaping down and beheading the beast, killing it. 2 and 5 are overjoyed that she's come back, and 9 gives her a look of admiration. After 2's death, she is seen reprimanding 9 for being so thoughtless.

OH SNAP

7 preventing 9 and 5 from falling

She helps fight the Winged Beast and plans to kill it fast by sneaking behind it and beheading it with her spear, but it deflects and sends 7 flying into to the wall. 7 tries again by attempting to attack the Winged Beast head on, but like the first time, she is struck once again. Her left leg is impaled by the beast's harpoon-tipped tail. The beast begins to reel 7 in. 9 catches 7 and uses her spear to halt the pulling. 9 orders 8 to cut the cable. 8 cuts the cable and it whips around the plane's propeller. With the plane edging, 7 hangs onto her spear, 9 catches hold of her impaled leg, and 1 holds onto his staff—which 9 had quickly grasped to catch him with—5 and 6 power on the propeller by attaching the loose wires to the copper cables, pulling the Winged Beast closer to the revolving propellers. The Winged Beast repels this by flying forward and latching onto 1's cape with its multi-bladed beak. 9 urges 1 to let his cape go, which he does after some convincing. The beast is then pulled in and crushed by the propellers.

7 nearly beheads 1 out of shock and indignation when he shamelessly reveals that he pragmatically sent 2 out to die. In the battle against the Seamstress, 7 severs 2's body from the end of its tail. 7 fearlessly leaps up to fight the Seamstress head-on, but is quickly subdued. 5 shoots directly into the Seamstress' eye with his handmade crossbow, cracking it. The Seamstress turns tail and leaves on a whim, taking 7 and 8 hostage.

9 rescues 7, having set up an elaborate trap to destroy the Seamstress, crushing it between two gears. They both managed to escape the Factory before it explodes. After the Fabrication Machine is seemingly destroyed, 7 thanks 9 for saving her. The two watch 5, 6, 3 and 4 goof around a record player. 5 goes to fetch a runaway record, but sees an ominous shadow lurking towards him. As it turns out, the Fabrication Machine was still alive, and it takes 5's soul. 7 instinctively covers 3 and 4's faces

On the Bridge, she turns back to restrain 6 in an attempt to safely escort him to the other side of the Bridge, but she fails and 6's soul is also taken by the Machine. She begins to doubt 9's reasoning when he repeats 6's last words, taking them seriously; she stands by her belief that the Machine must be destroyed before anyone else is taken. When 9 takes off, 7 calls to stop him, but she is told to let him go by 1.

7, 1, 3, and 4 work together to wield a functional remaining tank against the Machine as it approaches. When 9 returns to endow the newfound information that each of them are a piece of the Scientist's soul, she is astonished and speechless. The tireless fight against the Machine continues as they are all chased through the tunnel. 9 instructs them how to use the Talisman once it has been reclaimed, alluding that he will sacrifice himself. 7 becomes insistent that 9 should not to sacrifice himself, but 9 manages to convince her to let him do it. She is present when 1 shoves 9 out of the way to sacrifice himself instead.

In the end, she, 9 and the twins build a memorial for the deceased, releasing the souls from the Talisman and watching as they spiral up into the sky.

Trivia

Omgsofreakingrandom

7 being rescued by 9.

  • In the Russian adaptation, 7 represents The Scientist's wife.[citation needed]
  • It is possible that both 9 and 7 have romantic affections/feelings with each other ever since 9 met her, but because of the ongoing tragedies, they were unable to show much affection until the end of the film.
    • This was confirmed by director Shane Acker that 9 and 7 are somewhat a couple.
  • It is mentioned in the Commentary that the scene in which 7 shadows her face with her bird skull helmet in The Library is a reference to how hockey players in Canada put their helmets down, as that shot was animated by one of the remote animators in Canada.[citation needed]
    9 and 7 relationship
    • The Commentary also mentions that 7's fighting skills are based on both parkour and skateboarding moves.[citation needed]
  • 7's battle helmet is consisted of a dead bird's skull, some little teeth bones, and two bird feathers attached to the back of her helmet. It remains on 7's head until the explosion caused by the Fabrication Machine near the end of the film, which it flew off and she never picked up.
  • During some shots of the film, one can see 7 has a patch on her back covering up most of her number. It is explained in the commentary that she received it in a fight with the Cat Beast.
  • Some assume 7 to be ambidextrous, as she frequently uses both her right hand and her left hand while fighting/handling things with no visible difficulties. Whether this was an animator oversight, or purposeful is unknown.
  • 7 was going to have a figure made by Neca, but it ended up being cancelled; she would have come with her bird skull and spear included.[citation needed]
