While over 40 years old chronologically, Unix-sama is physically a small teenage girl, around five feet tall. She has long dark purple hair, piercing blue eyes implanted with the Bell Labs logo and wears square or horn-rimmed glasses. She has horned owl ears, symbolically carrying connotations of wisdom, truth and darkness (as well as associations with goddesses and magical powers). Dressing in simplistic monochrome clothing and boots, she wields a polished aluminum staff inscribed with roman numerals – each said to stand for a tenet of the Unix Philosophy – and is occasionally depicted with black wings, a throwback to her mother. Since the early 1990s she has been confined to a wheelchair, due to physically manifested psychological trauma that occurred during the Unix Wars. | While over 40 years old chronologically, Unix-sama is physically a small teenage girl, around five feet tall.

Highly intelligent, Unix is an artful mind-gamer capable of manipulating and defeating enemies without using physical force. In her youth she gained psionic powers from her mother, [[Multics | Multics]]; she wields this energy mostly in the form of fire control and psychic projection of images, but has dabbled in other forms as well. She is often wrongly considered monstrous and heartless; while she strayed from her humble philosophy and became a calculating industrialist, witnessing the near-destruction of her family during the Unix Wars and her subsequent alliance with | Highly intelligent, Unix is an artful mind-gamer capable of manipulating and defeating enemies without using physical force. In her youth she gained psionic powers from her mother, [[Multics | Multics]]; she wields this energy mostly in the form of fire control and psychic projection of images, but has dabbled in other forms as well. She is often wrongly considered monstrous and heartless; while she strayed from her humble philosophy and became a calculating industrialist, witnessing the near-destruction of her family during the Unix Wars and her subsequent alliance with Linux has made her strive to return to her original ethos. Her gentler side is known by her friends, as well as the vintage-tans she helps to support at the Bintenji Renmei. | ||
