	Whirlwind-tan was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in the 1940s. She was conceived of as an automaton but became embodied as a living girl. Her creator and human "family" were particularly caring and involved in her upbringing. She worked for the U.S. Navy but was eventually abandoned<ref>[https://www.deviantart.com/cptlfrghtr/art/OS-Interviews-Pt-1-152851849 OS-tan interviews, part 1]</ref>, causing her to avoid anything relating to the organization.<ref>[https://www.deviantart.com/cptlfrghtr/art/Picnic-Pt-1-144172518 Picnic, Pt. 1]</ref>		Whirlwind-tan was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in the 1940s. She was conceived of as an automaton but became embodied as a living girl through an unspecified process. Her creator and human "family" were particularly caring and involved in her upbringing, giving her level of normality despite the unusual circumstances of her life.<ref>"[Stewartsage] mentioned the difference between Whirlwind & Harvard Mark I-sama and ENIAC-sama, when it comes to having self confidence & being well adjusted, is having a parent / parents who were there for them..." Bells, August 2025</ref> Owing her experimental nature, she was born with a heart defect and dealt with pain through much of her early life.<ref>Referencing issues with Whirlwind prior to its core memory conversion. StewartSage, personal communication</ref>

			She made acquaintance of Harvard Mark I-tan, who was at the time the only other general purpose computer in town. Despite their different personalities, outlooks on life, and paces, the two became good friends. While Whirlwind recognized Harvard Mark I-tan as an example of what she might have become under different circumstances, she didn't compare herself to Mark I,<ref>"[Whirlwind] recognizes that computers like Mk. 1 aren't made anymore, and that computers like her are." Stewartsage, personal communication, 2026.</ref> but envied the purpose with which she lived her life.<ref>Described by Stewartsage as "Initially envious of Harvard Mk. 1's purpose"</ref>

			In addition to her role as a research computer, she worked for the U.S. Navy but was eventually abandoned,<ref>[https://www.deviantart.com/cptlfrghtr/art/OS-Interviews-Pt-1-152851849 OS-tan interviews, part 1]</ref> causing her to avoid anything relating to the organization, or discussing what happened.<ref>[https://www.deviantart.com/cptlfrghtr/art/Picnic-Pt-1-144172518 Picnic, Pt. 1]</ref> Not long afterward, she went to work for the U.S. Air Force, beginning the work that her descendants would later continue.

			Around this time Memory Test Computer-tan was cloned from Whirlwind as a purpose-made companion and caretaker. The two forged an intense bond with each other,<ref>"She could be passionate and maybe a bit obsessive for MTC~" Stewartsage, 2025</ref> romantic on MTC's part but unreciprocated by Whirlwind. MTC-tan donated her heart to Whirlwind-tan, improving Whirlwind's physical condition considerably at the cost of her own longevity.<ref>[https://www.ostan-collections.net/forum/index.php/topic,466.msg177442.html#msg177442 Bella's OS-tan art thread]</ref> Together, they would have two children: SAGE-tan and PDP-1-tan, in a process that's suggested to have contributed to Whirlwind's later physical instability.<ref>SAGE-tan describes Whirlwind-tan as having given up her life for her in [https://www.deviantart.com/cptlfrghtr/art/Dirty-Water-Pt-3-151306781 Dirty Water, Pt. 3]</ref><ref>The creation of SAGE-tan and PDP-1-tan has generally been described as primitive cloning using pieces of Whirlwind-tan herself.</ref>

	In spite of the grim circumstances of their company's collapse, most DEC-tans are alive and doing well for the most part. PDP-1-tan, TOPS-10, OS/8 and RT-11 are affiliated with the Binteeji Renmei and work as a hobby systems. PDP-7-tan and PDP-12-tan are retired and their whereabouts unknown. PDP-10 is a hobby system and rumored to live near a small clutch of vintage computers with PDP-8 and LINC-tan (who are semi-working and retired, respectively). PDP-11-tan is semi-retired and lives with [[CB Unix]], while Rainbow 100, RSTS, Ultrix and VAXELN live as a wanderer. VAX, VMS, RSX and Tenex are affiliated with the CIOST, with VMS still-employed, VAX semi-working and RSX and Tenex hobby systems. DOS-11 and TSS-8 are presumed deceased, and PDP-9, -14, -15 and -16's statuses unknown.

	BUIC-tan is one of [[SAGE\|SAGE's]] daughters, created as a back-up to take up SAGE's responsibilities in case something befalls her. She had short red hair in something resembling a bob cut, and decorated with metal barrettes. Her eyes were blue with gold highlights just like SAGE's, but she was more petite, less formal and typically dressed in Air Force fatigues instead of the elaborate, antiquated dress uniforms SAGE often wore.
