Long Answer
1. Many may consider Roz to be a sentient being because she is able to experience “something like” emotions when she interacts with the animals and acts as Brightbill’s mother. For example, Roz feels proud of Brightbill and all he has accomplished when he is chosen as a leader in his migration. She also has experiences that mimic those of empty nesters, though she has not had anyone to copy this behavior from. Arguably, Roz could be functioning according to her programming as a helper and caretaker and may function according to her programming by shutting down as an empty nester to preserve energy. Perhaps the most telling evidence is Roz’s decision to defy the orders of the other RECO machines, indicating she is perhaps sentient. (Various chapters)
2. Initially, the animals function as their own separate beings aside from when they gather at the dawn truce to have morning meetings. Roz is able to draw the animals together by creating a garden and providing shelter for them in the winter. The animals, because of Roz’s efforts, learn to support and get along with each other and are aligned in a common goal when the RECO robots attempt to steal Roz.
