Countess de la Roca was an elegant and wealthy fembot who was also a class three yacht. She and Bender met on the Titanic and fell in love, although Bender feared this was merely because the Countess believed he too was rich. But when the Countess discovered he couldn't even cover his bar tab she loved him regardless. Romance blossomed, as Bender sketched her circuit diagram, kissed her in a car and ...other things occurred. But when the Titanic was doomed by a predictably incompetent Zapp Brannigan, the Countess was rescued by Bender, both reaching the escape pods at the last moment. As it became clear that their escape vehicle was overburdened, she sacrificed herself and disappeared into the black hole. Although, it's possible she survived as Into the Wild Green Yonder treats black holes like worm holes, which would have tossed her out of a different black hole.
