for a Mental Model, anything goes so long as she is Female.<br/><br/>Haruna gave the perfect explanation for it in the series when the one guy on I-401 asked why all Mental Models are female. She stated it was because Humans treated/referred to ships as Females. :P<br/><br/>As for Hyuuga, If they ever Dub her in English. SHe has to have the Stereo mad scientist voice/Accent.  >:)
