The portrayal that became part of the [[ List_of_Canon_OS-tans | OS-tan canon]] is that of a frail grey-haired young girl in a long frilly violet gown, with a 3.1 brooch on her collar. She has a quiet personality and is usually accompanied by either a black cat (sometimes nicknamed DOS Kitty) or a small black-haired catgirl in a nurse's outfit, both representing DOS. She is often seen with [[NT-tan | Windows NT-tan]] and [[95-tan | 95-tan]] but has an inseparable relationship with DOS Kitty as Windows 3.x is highly dependent on DOS | The portrayal that became part of the [[ List_of_Canon_OS-tans | OS-tan canon]] is that of a frail grey-haired young girl in a long frilly violet gown, with a 3.1 brooch on her collar. She has a quiet personality and is usually accompanied by either a black cat (sometimes nicknamed DOS Kitty) or a small black-haired catgirl in a nurse's outfit, both representing DOS 6.22.

She was usually depicted as being quiet and deadpan, but now depictions of her being cheerful and carefree are about equally common. | |||

In OSC-based continuity, 3.1-tan was very close to 1.0-tan and 2.0-tan in childhood, but currently only has a patchy memory of them. A possible interpretation was that part of her memory was wiped after 1.0-tan and 2.0-tan were exiled. Or if she remembers them, she knows she cannot speak of them to the rest of her family, who don't know or remember them. | |||

In Futaba-based OS-tan continuity, 3.1-tan is emotionally the closest to Futaba!1.0-tan, and they are usually seen together. | |||

Sometimes in pictures, she's seen together with ME-tan, and there have been jokes about 3.1-tan being the littlest sister of the family since she's smaller than the petite ME-tan, and often looks younger than her as well. | ||
