She's the only female out of all the artificial humans. She has a habit of running her hands through her short, blond hair. She's a beautiful girl, but has a harsh personality, hating unfashionable things.Originally, she was just a delinquent girl, but because she was kidnapped and reconstructed into an android by Dr. Gero, she hates him and will not follow orders. She was sealed in the lab because of this, but when Dr. Gero was in trouble, he unsealed and rebooted her. When Imperfect Cell absorbs Jinzoningen #17 and becomes Semi-Perfect Cell, Kuririn refuses to engage her self-destruct device, which would have destroyed her, in spite of the serious threat that could result in Cell's perfection posed by Jinzoningen #18 being alive. Because of this, Semi-Perfect Cell eventually absorbs her and reaches his ultimate power. During the Cell games Perfect Cell becomes overpowered by Gohan, and regurgitates Jinzoningen #18. Kuririin immediately comes to her side and tends to her for the duration of the battle. When Super Perfect Cell is defeated, Kuririn uses the Dragon Balls to make a wish to Shenlong that Jinzoningen #18 and #17 would be restored their complete humanity, but when Shenlong is unable to grant his request, Kuririn takes the opportunity to wish for the self-destruct devices within #18 and #17 be removed. Jinzoningen #18 thanks him and leaves The Lookout. After the Cell Games, she marries Kuririn, who in the beginning, she had absolutely nothing to do with, and has a daughter named Marron.
During the 25th Tenkaichi Budokai's Battle Royale, she defeated Jewel with one kick, and exposed Mighty Mask's true identity. In the finals, she lost to Mr. Satan on purpose, demanding 20 million zeni, twice the prize money for winning the tournament.She must later take refuge from Majin Buu on Kami's Lookout. A day later,Jinzoningen #18 is killed, along with her family, by Super Buu, who turns her into chocolate and eats her.
Her life is restored through a wish from Polunga, and she later supplies Goku with her energy to fuel a Spirit Bomb, in an effort to defeat Kid Buu. Though peace has returned, Jinzoningen #18 still maintains a cool and distant attitude toward Goku, as she was originally "created" to kill him, but she still can't resist smiling when Goku returns and has a tearful reunion with his family, showing a softer side to her personality. She is later seen at a party at Bulma's house. A decade later she attends the 28th Tenkaichi Budokai with her family and the other Z-Senshi at the end of the Dragon Ball Z series.
Years later, In her first appearance in Dragon Ball GT, Jinzoningen #18 is a servant of Baby. During the battle between Super Saiyan 4 Goku and Bebi Vegeta, she, Kuririn, and Marron are caught in the destruction of Satan City by Bebi's Super Galick Gun. However, all of them appear to have avoided the blast. She is cured with the Sacred Water. She must later go to the Tsufuru Pllanet before the earth explodes because of the wish by Bebi to restore his home planet. Afterwards, she attends a party at Bulma's house.
Some months later, #18 later appears in the city with her family, until Jinzoningen #17 attacks. 17 attempts to control her, however Kuririn intervenes, pointing out that #18 is now married and has a child. He also reminds Jinzoningen #17 that he killed Dr. Gero himself, but #17's Machine Mutant counterpart, Hell Fighter #17, contacts him and regains control, causing him to kill Kuririn. His death brings Jinzoningen #18 back to reality causing her to attack her own brother. Seeing what he's done, #17 then targets Marron so he can gain full control of #18, but #18 defends her from #17's energy wave, leaving her in a critical condition. Android 17 flies off to merge with Hell Fighter #17, and #18 crawls over to Kuririn, taking his hand as she appears to die with him. Later during the Super 17 Saga however,# 18 reappears, and in an attempt to avenge her husband's death, she joins Goku in the struggle against Super #17, leading to the super-android's self-emancipation by force from Dr. Myu and eventually his death.
In her last appearance in the anime, Jinzoningen #18 is seen at the Capsule Corporation accompanied by Bulma, Chi-Chi, Videl, and her daughter, Marron.
There is some debate as to whether or not Jinzoningen #18 and her brother are still alive a century after the events of Dragon Ball GT. While Dr. Gero states that the process of reconfiguring the siblings into cyborgs has made the two immortal, this is contradicted by the special A Hero's Legacy, where it is narrated that Pan is the only character remaining.
In some point, Jinzoningen #18 is considered the strongest female in the manga canon. When she defeats Vegeta, she becomes the first character to defeat a Super Saiyan, unless one includes Goku in his fight against Jinzoningen #19, whose outcome was decided because of a heart disease Goku had.
