She was conceived of as an automaton but became embodied as a living girl through an unspecified process. Her creator and human "family" were particularly caring and involved in her upbringing, giving her level of normality despite the unusual circumstances of her life.<ref>"[Stewartsage] mentioned the difference between Whirlwind & Harvard Mark I-sama and ENIAC-sama, when it comes to having self confidence & being well adjusted, is having a parent / parents who were there for them..." Bells, August 2025</ref> Owing her experimental nature, she was born with a heart defect and dealt with pain through much of her early life.<ref>Referencing issues with Whirlwind prior to its core memory conversion. StewartSage, personal communication</ref>

			She made acquaintance of Harvard Mark I-tan, who was at the time the only other general purpose computer in town. Despite their different personalities, outlooks on life, and paces, the two became good friends. While Whirlwind recognized Harvard Mark I-tan as an example of what she might have become under different circumstances, she didn't compare herself to Mark I,<ref>"[Whirlwind] recognizes that computers like Mk. 1 aren't made anymore, and that computers like her are." Stewartsage, personal communication, 2026.</ref> but envied the purpose with which she lived her life.<ref>Described by Stewartsage as "Initially envious of Harvard Mk. 1's purpose"</ref>

			In addition to her role as a research computer, she worked for the U.S. Navy but was eventually abandoned,<ref>[https://www.deviantart.com/cptlfrghtr/art/OS-Interviews-Pt-1-152851849 OS-tan interviews, part 1]</ref> causing her to avoid anything relating to the organization, or discussing what happened.<ref>[https://www.deviantart.com/cptlfrghtr/art/Picnic-Pt-1-144172518 Picnic, Pt. 1]</ref> Not long afterward, she went to work for the U.S. Air Force, beginning the work that her descendants would later continue.

			Around this time Memory Test Computer-tan was cloned from Whirlwind as a purpose-made companion and caretaker. The two forged an intense bond with each other,<ref>"She could be passionate and maybe a bit obsessive for MTC~" Stewartsage, 2025</ref> romantic on MTC's part but unreciprocated by Whirlwind. MTC-tan donated her heart to Whirlwind-tan, improving Whirlwind's physical condition considerably at the cost of her own longevity.<ref>[https://www.ostan-collections.net/forum/index.php/topic,466.msg177442.html#msg177442 Bella's OS-tan art thread]</ref> Together, they would have two children: SAGE-tan and PDP-1-tan, in a process that's suggested to have contributed to Whirlwind's later physical instability.<ref>SAGE-tan describes Whirlwind-tan as having given up her life for her in [https://www.deviantart.com/cptlfrghtr/art/Dirty-Water-Pt-3-151306781 Dirty Water, Pt. 3]</ref><ref>The creation of SAGE-tan and PDP-1-tan has generally been described as primitive cloning using pieces of Whirlwind-tan herself.</ref>

	A series of experimental operations were performed in an attempt to improved her lifespan, speed and powers, but they were untimely unsuccessful, costing her numerous body parts as well as general mental and physical stability. Especially problematic were the coma-like states she fell in and out of for the ~~next fourteen years~~.

	~~Despite the dire consequences to her health, there were several beneficial effects~~. ~~Foremost among these, the creation of her second and third children,~~ [~~[TX~~-~~0]] and [[PDP~~-1]]-tan, ~~whose births would have never been possible without the knowledge gained during Whirlwind's experimental surgeries. In many ways~~, her ~~two children filled the nest left empty by SAGE's departure, and became a comfort and companion~~ to the ~~ailing Whirlwind~~.

	~~Whirlwind-tan's health became steadily worse with advancing age, and by the 1970s she was in a comatose state more often than not~~. ~~In 1973, she passed away, shortly after SAGE's final visit with her~~. ~~Her slow decline and lingering death is suspected to have contributed to SAGE's eventual psychological instability.~~

	~~Through the birth of TX~~-~~0 and PDP~~-1-~~tan~~, Whirlwind-tan inspired the creation of an entirely new type of computer: the smaller, nimbler, more efficient minicomputer-tans, whose ranks would swell throughout the next few decades to the point of becoming the dominant computer class. In this way, all computer-tans of the 1960s and 70s can be said to owe their existence to Whirlwind.
