Character details
Damn Small Linux-tan (aka: DSL-tan) is extremely small, with a height of only about 15 cm (6 inches) or even less. She often can be found where one does not expect it, such as sitting on another's head. Unlike most Distro-tans, who wield spears; DSL-tan resorts to wielding a toothpick. She appears as a tiny school girl with a black+white shirt and skirt, light brown hair and eyes, black cap, orange shoes and a backpack that looks like a penguin.
She is an extremely fast runner, high jumper and excellent spy. She is rather timid because she's much smaller than everyone else, but is comfortable around the diminutive OS-tans. Her little brother is Damn Small Linux-kun, and DSL-tan is protective of him and likes to be his mentor.
She lives as a wanderer but bands together with the other Damn Small-tans: Damn Small BSD, Damn Small Linux-kun and Damn Small Solaris-tan. Because of how well-known she is among the Linux distro-tans, she is often invited to Linux distro meetings hosted by the LUC, and while grateful, she prefers the more independent and less hectic wanderer life.
However, she does have at least one rivalry, particularly with Tiny Core Linux-tan, referencing Tiny Core being created by a former head developer of Damn Small Linux, the two find themselves in an arms race trying to be the most minimalist Linux distro-tan.
