The only Apple II-tan identified to date is meant as a catch-all design for all variants of the 8-bit Apple II computer. These include the Apple II, II Plus, IIe, IIc, IIGS, (and also the Apple III until a separate III-tan design was made), in addition to all the operating systems released for this platform, such as AppleDOS and ProDOS. | |||
Currently Apple II-tan is depicted as a young girl wearing red-and-white Edo period Japanese farmer clothes, a white kerchief around her hair, and a ''suge-kasa'' (Japanese straw hat) bearing the old rainbow Apple logo. She usually has her blonde hair -- done in long twin-braided pigtails -- covered by the kerchief and ''suge-kasa'' for reasons of practicality, although when inactive she will let her hair loose or at least exposed. Her white tunic bears the logos of all the major Apple II hardware labels, whereas her red rolled-up work-pants are patterned with A's written in the old Motter Tektura font as well as A's written in Katakana. She carries few props with her, other than a pole fruit picker to harvest apples with, a basket to carry them, and a golden, apple-shaped locket bearing a black-and-white picture of her mother [[Apple I | Apple I-tan]]. | |||
She is described as beginning life as an idealistic revolutionary, but over the years has settled into a slow-paced but still stimulating life of a natural farmer. She loves hard work, talks with an accent, and has a friendly, witty and rugged personality that sets her in sharp contrast to the latest generation of Mac-tans. Though she does not live with the modern Mac-tans, she still corresponds with them and fills the role of mother figure (and at times father figure!) in Apple I's absence. She does however take care of her younger sister Apple Lisa-tan, and is still served by her long-standing disciple [[GS/OS | GS/OS-tan]]. | She is described as beginning life as an idealistic revolutionary, but over the years has settled into a slow-paced but still stimulating life of a natural farmer.
