Technical details
Macintosh System 3.4 was released as part of AppleShare 2.0.1 Work Station to add this support to System 3, [https://web.archive.org/web/20080224190220/http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=5356 and to the Macintosh 512Ke, and uses Finder 6.1, the same Finder version used with System 6.
Character details
Macintosh System 3.4-tan is represented as a tall and eccentric woman, appearing to be in her early twenties, with long dark brown hair tied into forked pigtails. Her hair is decorated with red ribbons, three gold hairclips on one side and a 3.4 hairclip on the other. She wears a pair of large mask-like sunglasses, a grey frilly blouse, light blue skirt, yellow leggings and red ballet flats. She carries a parachute backpack in the style of a compact Mac.
She is very bold, daring, and very outgoing, She has great networking skills, but is also stubborn and single-minded, owing to very specific role that System 3.4 was created for.
Her eccentric personality, appearance, and role are because of System 3.4's highly unusual version numbering and release date compared to other Mac OS versions.
OSC Notes
Unlike most the other Mac-tans who all live together in the House of Mac faction, Macintosh System 3.4-tan chose to live a wanderer by choice to improve her skills and follow her dreams after becoming obsolete. Her early years as a wanderer were very difficult, especially during the OS Wars. She had several near-death experiences and barely survived, but sent some of her money and supplies she earned to the rest of the family to try to aid them, since she had some remorse over not fighting alongside them. Through a lot of luck and hard work, she defied the odds against her as a wanderer and became successful. She chose to become a stunt performer because death no longer scared her, and she later became a carnival ringmaster, to put her networking skills to use again and to help other obscure or forgotten wanderer OS-tans show off their skills.
Other Notes
Her previous characterization of feeling overshadowed and not believing she had a purpose in life before becoming a wanderer was based off of very limited information her creator had. From further research, a new characterization was retconned in portraying her as being successful in her early years and taking pride in her specialized role, since AppleShare 2.0 was well-received, but believing she lost her purpose in life when she became obsolete, and became a wanderer to keep having a purpose.
