Description
Apple I-tan personifies the Apple I, a limited production circuit board computer for electronics hobbyists which pioneered many features that made the subsequent Apple II a commercial success.
She is depicted as a young hippy woman in her late teens, with long brown hair decorated with flowers, green eyes, patchy earth-colored clothing, and wood paraphernalia. In addition to having a maternal disposition, she is also considered to be open-minded and idealistic, optimistic in the success of her offspring in leading the personal computer revolution. Owing to the wood theme, Apple I-tan was originally depicted as a living doll (similar to a Rozen Maiden), although a later rendition seemingly depicts her as a regular woman of average height.
Apple I-tan is considered the de facto mother of the entire Apple Family, despite the fact that the Macintosh and OSX lines are not directly related to the original Apple computer line. She is also a deceased character, owing to the fact that few of the actual Apple I units have survived in working condition to this day, and thus has no active user following to keep the system alive. Apple II-tan, Apple III-tan and Lisa-tan were the only Apple-tans to have known her in life (although the latter was too young to remember); thus given her proximity to her mother, Apple II-tan carries an apple-shaped pendant with an old black white photo of Apple I-tan in remembrance.
OSC Notes
In her youth and before she had any daughters, Apple I-tan was somewhat of a prankster but often felt lonely. Her first daughter was also her direct successor, Apple II-tan. Her other two daughters she knew while still alive are Apple III-tan and Lisa-tan (Mac System 1-tan was born shortly after Apple I-tan died) but she had to spend the most time with Apple II-tan to teach her the things that would ensure a better future for herself, her sisters and future generations of the Apple Family and to carry on family traditions.
Also by the time that Lisa-tan was born, Apple I-tan's health was already in decline so she did not have much energy to be able to play with her younger daughters. She wanted to spend more time with each of them and felt sad she couldn't and when she knew her time was almost up, she left to die alone as to trouble her daughters less over her death. But Lisa-tan saw Apple I-tan outside in a field just minutes before her death and just before quietly passing away, Apple I-tan apologized to her for never have been able to spend more time with her.
Apple I-tan's body was preserved and kept in a secret mausoleum whose location was only known by Lisa-tan. The mausoleum was located somewhere in the original capital city of the Apple Family's territory until it got attacked by the Windows Family forces during the OS Wars. Fortunately, her body was safely relocated to a new mausoleum located in the territory's mountainside.
She still lives on in multiple ways (referencing the Apple I emulators and the Replica-1, the legalized Apple I-clone), with dedicated followers carrying on her hopes and dreams and that Apple I-tan herself is alive again though as a ghost that no one can see or hear but she is happy to watch over all of her descendants.
