Roz (ROZZUM Unit 7134), is the only surviving robot of a shipwreck off the coast of the island. Roz is solar-powered and programmed to be nonviolent, to keep clean, and to stay alive. Roz attempts to befriend the animals of the island but is unable to do so, thus, she camouflages herself to blend in and have a better chance at survival. By staying hidden by the camouflage, she can also learn about the behavior and language of the animals.

When Roz accidentally kills a family of geese, she comes to be the mother of the surviving baby goose, Brightbill. As a result, she befriends the other animals of the island as she seeks out their advice. Roz comes to consider Brightbill her son. She helps him learn how to fly, and she sadly watches him leave for the winter. Through the especially bitter winter that year, Roz builds a number of lodges to save the lives of countless island animals.
