Haiku(-tan) is the personification of the Haiku OS Operating System, the open source successor of BeOS. She was originally designed as a tan for the BeOS Operating System, but it was later changed into a personification of its Open Source successor, Haiku OS.

She is the daughter of BeOS and has a twin sister, Zeta, who looks identical to her except for her personality.

Haiku is cheerful, friendly and energetic, but is also lazy when it comes to work - resembling the extraordinary potential of the Haiku OS project which doesn't currently live up to his potential. She is friends with almost anyone except Linux who hates her de-inhibited behavior and is particularly fond of Tiger, to the extreme that she actually develops a crush on her.

Her appearance has varied over the early designs, who featured her dressed in shorts and a sweater with the BeOS logo and the words Be Yourself written in it. The sweater and shorts was later dropped in favor of a light shirt featuring the same slogan and logo and a miniskirt, somewhat resembling a schoolgirl outfit, variations of this outfit is the current Haiku look.

Every design features bee antennae on her head and a pair of insect wings on her back (though their size varies from picture to picture), early versions also featured a stinger. She also features very long and single eyelashes resembling a stinger, and amber eyes.
