An AI was recovered from a missile that had been floating in space. He never completed his mission because he did not want to die, which would have occurred if his warhead had detonated. He is later placed into a stuffed animal that vaguely resembles a round, pink cat/penguin. Normad usually heaps endless praise on Vanilla (despite her intermittent nonchalant abandonment and abuse of him), but holds cynical views toward the rest of the Angel Team, particularly Milfuelle, whom he calls a dimwit, and Forte, who returns the favor and routinely shoots him. Aside from occasional descriptive information he provides, he mainly serves as comic relief due to his inability to avoid injury. His name might have been inspired by NORAD, which warns against missile attacks, corresponding to his original role. Normad's voice is performed by Mika Kanai (Vanilla). In the English dub, he is portrayed by Richard Ian Cox. In the first manga, Normad's body can be seen in chapter 2.
