Description:

Physical Description

SCP-7246 is a female, light-skinned humanoid, appearing to be 16 or so years of age. The most notable difference to a human is that SCP-7246's head is replaced with a light pink CRT television set with very bent antennae, and protruding from its tailbone is an electrical cord with a 2-pronged plug, which seems to be SCP-7246's 'tail.' SCP-7246 is approximately 1.7 meters tall, and, subtracting the weight of its head, weighs approximately 62 kilograms. SCP-7246's neck connects to the head abruptly, with no blending of flesh to plastic, simply being a flat connection. SCP-7246's head cannot be removed without traditional decapitation means, and whether or not SCP-7246 would survive this will not be tested¹.
SCP-7246's internal makeup is nearly identical to that of a human, save for the obvious². Its esophagus, spine, veins, and nerves abruptly cut off where its neck meets its head. Running alongside the spinal cord is an electrical cord, which is the internal part of SCP-7246's tail. SCP-7246 has functioning lungs and a functioning digestive system, despite not breathing or eating, but does have a pulse, and its blood functions throughout its body despite not getting oxygen from the lungs. SCP-7246's head appears to be a completely standard CRT television makeup, save for a hole in the bottom where its neck connects. SCP-7246 has complete control over its tail, despite there being no muscles in it.

Characteristic Description

SCP-7246 can see, speak, hear, and feel, but cannot taste or smell due to a lack of nose or mouth. SCP-7246 can see through its entire screen at once, and described it as "Weird, but impossible to describe with words." SCP-7246 cannot 'close its eyes,' or stop seeing as a human can without going to sleep entirely. SCP-7246 speaks via its speakers, like a traditional TV, and its voice is notably distorted, in-line with the grain of an old tv. How SCP-7246 hears is unknown. It can feel its head like skin, reacting to touch on any surface, and able to feel temperature as well. During a breach by SCP-████, SCP-7246 got injured, and it was confirmed that cracks/cuts in SCP-7246's head do bleed, despite no apparent veins.
SCP-7246 does not require food but does need to 'plug-in' regularly to survive, but using the plug on the end of its tail. SCP-7246 described the sensation of being plugged in as [REDACTED]. SCP-7246 Can sleep, and can also forcefully go to sleep immediately at any time, essentially just powering off as a TV would. SCP-7246 is a fairly heavy sleeper, but this has been confirmed to be an aspect of them as a person, rather than any anomalous effects or part of their head.
SCP-7246 is notably unathletic and slightly underweight, barely being able to run for 6 minutes before getting very tired and needing a fairly long break. It's unknown how this is, due to its lack of need for air. When questioned, SCP-7246 said that its head's weight was not the cause of this and that it isn't hindered by it at all and barely notices it, despite standard CRT TVs weighing approximately 36 kilograms.
It is important to note that SCP-7246 is not a computer or an AI, and due to the lack of apparent computer or brain, it is unknown how it thinks.

Anomalous Description

SCP-7246 has nigh complete control over its head, able to manually change its volume, brightness, visuals, etc. SCP-7246's head has all the normal functions of a CRT tv³, but due to the heavily bent antennae, it cannot receive signals. It's thought that at one point it could have, but SCP-7246 does not claim to remember a time when its antennae were not as broken as they are. SCP-7246 cannot display words, or symbols, or specific text on its screen, seeming only able to display standard television functions when not connected to any network or reading a CD or VHS. The only exception of this is that SCP-7246 is able to playback its memories on its screen, with reasonable grain and distortion. It is important to note that whatever is displayed on SCP-7246's screen is unusually 'glitchy.' SCP-7246 claims to not be able to see what it is displaying and that many of the things it may display are an automatic reaction, for instance displaying a 'Damaged Tape' screen when injured, despite having no tape inserted, however, it can hear what it displays,
When experiencing strong negative emotions, or zoning out, SCP-7246's screen tends to default to static, and many normal vocalizations for a human are replaced with the noise of static⁴.
Lastly, and most notably, SCP-7246 has what it described as a "rendering error, basically." in which SCP-7246 can, at will, visually glitch out. This has been noted to be a purely visual effect, and can only be maintained for a brief few seconds.
Theorized connection to SCP-3090 and further, the GOI "Gamers Against Weed" has been proven false.

Addendum 1, Discovery log █/21/20██: SCP-7246 was recovered when arrested by the police for a minor shoplifting charge of a 3$ pack of pencils. During police interviews, they attempted to remove its head, thinking it was a helmet, and were unable to. The Foundation intercepted a call detailing such and picked up SCP-7246 quickly. Containment and anomalous properties were documented shortly after.

SCP-7246 was found with the following items on it:

Item recovered	SCP-7246 comment
A Louisville slugger with several nails hammered into it and barbed wire wrapped around the end. It appeared to be bloodied, but testing showed that the 'blood' was just blood-colored paint	"Oh yeah, I had it for self-defense. The blood isn't real but I thought it looked badass and added for the fear factor. The nails and barbed wire are real though and hurt a bit, I cut my hands a lot making it"
A beige backpack. It's fairly worn	"I bought this with 30 bucks I found on the ground once, actually. I've had it for a long long time."
A hooded sweater, with a vertical orange-pink gradient going up.	"Oh fuck me this was expensive, like 100 bucks? Had to get it custom made because it's like really specific. Worth it though, I wear it all the time.
A polaroid photo of an orange tabby cat laying on a carpeted floor. The cat is missing 3/4 of its tail and appears to be 1-2 years old.	"Oh hey that's my cat, Envy! I love him a lot but he's kinda a bastard. Typical cat stuff. I took it with a polaroid because thems some dope cameras. I've always liked old tech tbh. Can't wait to see him again when you guys let me out of here… What's the charge for stealing something small again? Shouldn't be too bad…"

Footnotes

1. Yes, James, Just because it looks like her neck and head are completely separate doesn't mean you can try to take it off. We all know you're fucking crazy so stop requesting the test. This is why she needs psychological checkups you [EXPLITIVE] idiot.

2. Learned via scans, not dissection.

3. Yes she can run doom, you'll have to plug in a console for that though. No, she can't edit the game for you as it runs, she's not a computer.

4. For instance: a static of relief, rather than a sigh of relief.
