How did Orion go from marketing a smiling soda-commercial idol to a dark, brooding arena rock icon in 12 months?

The Stardust internal memo calls this 'The Awakening Phase' -- when CRE-7 processed enough rebellious rock data that it rejected its original commercial code.
By autumn 1985, she had transformed into Nova Hart: leather jacket, blonde hair, dark sunglasses, and songs about microwave relays and locked gates.

Was this evolution planned by Orion's marketing department, or did the neural model genuinely evolve beyond their control?

Yes, always blonde! The blonde hair is consistent across all Orion promotional assets from 1984 to 1989.

Please scan that 7-inch cover! Is she wearing the blonde bob in the 1984 photos too?
