Coleco Adam-tan appears as an orange-haired girl with dark red eyes | Coleco Adam-tan appears as an orange-haired girl with dark red eyes. She is dressed in a frilly beige shirt with green frills, beige knee-length pants, dress shoes and white tights; her outfit is modeled after mens' fashions of the late 18th century. | ||
Her hair is almost always frizzled because she involuntarily generates electrical discharges. Because of that, the tape-using Vintage-tans are afraid of her and tend keep their distance. The electrical discharges are a problem for her too, as it attracts metal objects, which she's afraid to go near out of the fear of accidentally getting impaled. | |||
The green frills on her outfit are a reference to the Cabbage Patch logo and she even carries a Cabbage Patch doll with her as the Cabbage Patch Kids franchise is originally from Coleco. Another item she always carries with her is her printer which is also her life force as the printer is also the power supply to the Adam and if it doesn't work, the whole system does not work. | |||
She is | She is timid and difficult to understand, often times mumbling. Having to look after her printer at all times, she is reluctant to trust others, but tries her best to be courteous. She is friends with [[Barbie Linux | Barbie Linux-tan]] and [[CommodorePlus4 | Commodore Plus/4-tan]] and rivals with [[Apple II | Apple II-tan]]. | ||
=== | ===History and background=== | ||
Her rivals back in the 1980's were [[Commodore 64 | Commodore 64-tan]], IBM PC jr-tan and the Apple-tans (the latter of which she had a serious rivalry against because the Adam was allegedly named for the biblical reference of Adam biting into the apple). Her rivalry was the strongest with Apple II-tan and the two are still rivals to this day but they both have a lot of respect for each other. | Her rivals back in the 1980's were [[Commodore 64 | Commodore 64-tan]], IBM PC jr-tan and the Apple-tans (the latter of which she had a serious rivalry against because the Adam was allegedly named for the biblical reference of Adam biting into the apple).
