Byte Bandit-tan is a stotic and destructive Virus-tan, her personality is derived from the virus' destructive payload which can cause file loss and even system failure, her appearance is that of a theif of sorts, the pattern and color of her scarf is based off of a common design found on a large green (sometimes, disporportionate) bag a theif carries his stolen goods in (usually found in japanese anime, for example, the character T.A.C from Kirby Super Star has such a bag). Unlike most of her fellow virus-tans, Byte Bandit-tan targeted only the Amiga family and quickly became the most feared, for she was quick, precise and destructive in her assualts.
What made her unique is that she was never stealthy about her attacks like normal Virus-tans were, instead she administers a straight-forward, all out assualt against her target. She has 'Ninja claws' hidden within her large sleeves, said claws are attached to long chains. The claws are mainly used to grapple and/or hook into things so either the victim can't run or stick into solid objects (wood, stone ect.) so she can move around the battlefeild more strategically. She also has a technique in which she'll create clones a la the (cliched) Ninja Clone technique, to do this she'll state her name and then say a number, the number will determine the number of 'clones' that will appear (another referance to the virus, for in it's text string it states it's name and the number of copies it has created of itself).
Eventually, she and Lamer Exterminator-tan met and joined forces to wreck havoc on their main enemy; CAOS-tan, but despite being out matched she remained strong and fought the both of them off, this would go on for sometime, until her discontinuation/death, after this occured Byte Bandit-tan and Lamer Exterminator-tan, disappeared...However, as of now, they have been spotted near the grave of their former advisary, possibly gaurding it from vandals or mourning the loss of their greatest rival, both she and her partner are Virus-tan Generals, but are usually to them selves and tend to do things on their own terms. contrary to popular belief, Byte Bandit-tan rarely steals things from others...
