Character Details
General
NetBSD-tan is seen as a teenage girl, around 18 years old but physically 15 or so. She wears red plastic glasses, and has bi-colored eyes; the left amber, the right green, as a reference to serial terminals, which had CRT screens of aforementioned colors. Her hair is black with white tips, and she wears orange ribbons, a nod to the NetBSD Flag. She also has devil horns and a tail.
She dresses in a Japanese schoolgirl-style uniform (sailor fuku); With a white top and orange skirt, knee socks and orange shoes. She also wears a collar piece with the Bell Systems logo at the tie point, a reference to BSD's Bell Labs Unix heritage. She carries a handbag in the shape of a chrome toaster; a clear nod to the famous installation of NetBSD on a toaster.
Her attitude is quite timid and shy, with a schoolgirlish charm. She must have a quite adventurous side, however; NetBSD is one of the most portable systems made. She is presumably close with her BSD sisters, including FreeBSD-tan, her older sibling.
Family and relationships
NetBSD-tan's mother is BSD-tan, and sisters are OpenBSD-tan, FreeBSD-tan and DragonflyBSD-tan.
