Although she is a Unix-tan, she does not consider the Unices to be her family, but rather the Apple-tans who she lived with in her childhood and up to 1996. She has been a wanderer since then; she got evicted from the Apple family during the worst of the OS Wars because she was too costly to keep around. She still has close ties to the extended Apple Family, and visits on occasion. | Although she is a Unix-tan, she does not consider the Unices to be her family, but rather the Apple-tans who she lived with in her childhood and up to 1996.

A/UX-tan has super strength and stamina obtained through cybernetic enhancements and extensive training, turning her into a super soldier. She excels at melee combat. Unlike other Unices, she doesn't use sorcery in combat. It's possible that she doesn't the ability to use combat sorcery, so experimental cybernetics were used to grant her power. | |||

She would have also been better off in the hierarchy if she hadn't been neutral during the wars; if she would have lost anyways, at least she would have lost putting up a fight. Instead, her neutrality was interpreted as cowardice. Her being one of the first Unix OSes to value the GUI more than the command line also made it hard for her to be taken seriously by them. | ||
The Unix-tans are her biological relatives, but she doesn't care for most of them and doesn't consider them her real family. Ever since her debut, however, she attends the Unix Family (now Linux/Unix Consortium) meetings out of obligation to show that she has no intention of being a traitor. Knowing that they hardly take her seriously, or even seem to notice her, she makes the best of the meetings by being the group clown. | The Unix-tans are her biological relatives, but she doesn't care for most of them and doesn't consider them her real family.

She considers the extended Apple Family to be her real family, and identifies with them the most. She gets along with them for the most part, though the more timid among them are nervous around her. The more boisterous, such as Macintosh System 6, Mac OS8, and OSX Cheetah are the most at-ease around her, and she has friendly rivalries with them. | ||

In her youth, A/UX-tan was trained to be very strict and professional with very high standards held to her since so much money was invested in her. She was prohibited from mingling with the general public, only allowed to be around very high-end users. She enjoyed being around the Apple-tans (especially [[Mac OS6 | Mac System 6-tan]], who she also has a friendly rivalry with) but was discouraged from 'childish behavior' and often too busy trying to fulfill what her company wanted from her. | In her youth, A/UX-tan was trained to be very strict and professional with very high standards held to her since so much money was invested in her.
