She is magically-powerful enough to get her way by means of sorcery; however her shrewd and Machiavellian nature makes her disposed to using mind-games to enact her will. In fact, she is so skilled at manipulation that she can defeat rivals by using their own psychology against them or use masquerades to turn enemies into allies. She is often believed to be sociopathic or even ''monstrous'' because of these tendencies. Although she seems to posses a higher-than-average sense of self-preservation - bordering on selfishness, even - she is not without conscience and has shown sorrow and regret for her past transgressions as well as pity for and compassion toward those in need. | She is magically-powerful enough to get her way by means of sorcery; however her shrewd and Machiavellian nature makes her disposed to using mind-games to enact her will.

Unix's value systems have gone through a number of changes throughout her lifetime. She started off as a proponent of what would later be known as "free software" and (unwittingly) pioneered a sort of Open Source model. However, she slowly abandoned her early espousal of freedom and communality for the sake of making money and securing power and turned into a rather greedy industrialist for a time.

She started off as a proponent of what would later be known as "free software" and (unwittingly) pioneered a sort of Open Source model. However, she slowly abandoned her early espousal of freedom and communality for the sake of making money and securing power and turned into a rather greedy industrialist for a time. But the Unix Wars made her reevaluate her morals and she has since returned to her early ethos - literally becoming an Open Source OS-tan. Throughout her life, she has maintained certain philosophical stances: most notably, a set of ideals known as ''Unix Philosophy''. Chief among these is the belief that simplicity is key and should take precedence over completeness, that change is inevitable and should be prepared for, that program-tans should maintain harmony with each other and be trained to do one thing and do it well among many others. | ||
Her emotions are notoriously unstable - she rarely hides or feigns | Her emotions are notoriously unstable - she rarely hides or feigns her feelings and tends to speak whatever is on her mind. Due to this, she has a reputation for being temperamental and neurotic and there are numerous accounts of her lashing out violently when angered (with whacks from her staff or thrown objects favorite attacks of hers'). Her detractors point out this trait as evidence of underlying unreliability, while her proponents consider this more an endearing quirk than anything else - and appreciate her honesty above all else. It should be known that Unix-tan appreciates honesty from her followers as well, and will not tolerate condescension or sycophantic behavior among them. Her gentler side is known by her friends, as well as the vintage-tans she helps to support at the [[Binteeji Renmei]]. | ||
