Biography

Whirl is the first recruit to greet Hot Shot and to introduce in the group. She aspires to be a Rescue Bot police officer like Chase. She is into Earth culture. Whirl got new rotors on her arms, and though the initial test went horribly wrong, she and the other recruits enlisted the help of Boulder and Hoist eventually perfected the tools. When Blades was summoned to the academy to help Hot Shot perfect his flying, Whirl enthusiastically volunteered to take part as well and later took part in a rescue in Griffin Rock during which Hot Shot put the lessons into practice. Whirl enthusiastically memorized all of the police codes Chase was teaching the recruits, and as a result, when the other recruits persuaded Chase to let them try a rescue and instead got stuck in the snow, Whirl was able to rescue them.  When Hoist was put in charge of a rescue exercise, Whirl was the only one who actually followed any of his orders and ended up dangling over a chasm with Hot Shot, Wedge and Medix dangling from her until Hoist successfully rescued them. Whirl and the other recruits set up a surprise rescue mission for Medix, who didn't get the appeal of surprises. The Sparksayer gifted Whirl with a polyvisor which she put to good use during a volcano rescue. With her new Mul-T-Cog,Whirl is able to transform into a new car mode,courtesy of Chase. She grows a friendship with Scorch. Eventually after Medix has trouble with his new helicopter mode,Whirl insisted on guiding him,although she was jealous at first for finding out she isn't the only flyer in the group as for now. Her mentor is Chase. Her love interest is hotshot she has a crush on him and hotshot also has crush on her but they just wont admit it to each other
