Personality
Android 18 has a very laid back, sarcastic, and somewhat cruel personality as she take pleasure in overpowering others with her incredible strength. Her main goal, along with Androids 17 and 16, is to find and kill Son Goku. Her pursuit is interrupted however, as Cell, wishing to achieve his "perfect" form, absorbs 17 and then attempts to absorb her as well. 18 is naturally repulsed and horrified at the idea of being absorbed by Cell as she has no interest in him achieving perfection and wishes to remain free and independent. She attempts to evade Cell, but is ultimately caught and absorbed. She is greatly distressed while being absorbed as she cries out and futilely resists as she is sucked up into Cell's tail. After being released from Cell's body, she reforms and lives a peaceful life.

History
Android 18, along with her twin brother Android 17, were originally normal humans before being kidnapped and experimented on by Dr. Gero. The two were turned into powerful androids for the purpose of destroying Son Goku. Unbeknownst to them, they were also designed to be absorbed by the bio-android Cell so that it may become the perfect life form.

During the Androids/Cell story arc, Android 18 and her brother are awoken by Dr. Gero to kill Goku and his comrades. After rebelling and killing Dr. Gero and awakening Android 16, the three androids begin their search for Goku. Their search is preempted, however, as the three are confronted by Cell, who is intent on absorbing 18 and 17 to reach his perfect form. Though they attempt to resist him, Cell is able to absorb Android 17 and reach his semi-perfect form. Completely outmatched by the transformed Cell, Android 18 and 16 attempt to evade him, but, despite some interference from Tien, Vegeta, Trunks, and Krillin, he is ultimately able to track them down. Cell uses the Solar Flare technique to blind everyone around him, including 18, and uses the opportunity to absorb her. In the anime, the blinded Android 18 desperately attacks Cell as he approaches her, but it proves to be a futile effort as he easily engulfs her with his tail and pumps her into his body, allowing him to finally reach his perfect form.

Android 18 remains trapped inside of Cell for most the rest of the arc and throughout the Cell games. Supposedly, she retained some level of awareness while inside him, but otherwise was completely incapacitated. She is later spit up by Cell after he receives a devastating attack from Son Gohan from the head, which causes Cell to throw up, reverting him back to his semi-perfect form.
