Originating from SunOS, Solaris is a Unix operating system used mainly in servers and workstations. It is notable for a high level of scalability and  number of advanced features.

===General===
===General===
Solaris-tan is depicted having short orange hair, and either purple or red eyes. She commonly wears outfits in purple, grey and red; the main color scheme of Solaris' CDE desktop. Her formal wear includes long gowns with gold, sun-themed jewelry, but her typical outfit is her waitress outfit when at work. She runs a coffee shop, referencing Java, also developed by Sun.  
Solaris-tan is depicted as a fit woman of average height, with short, somewhat spiky orange hair, either purple or red eyes and occasionally oval glasses. She commonly wears business-like attire in purple, grey and red (referencing the main color scheme of Solaris' CDE desktop), and has also been depicted in an elegant gold dress with sun-themed jewelry and earlier renditions put her in a purple waiter's outfit and apron - referencing Solaris's server nature and her in-story role as proprietor of a coffee shop.
 
Another early design from Japan portrays Solaris as a redheaded girl with red eyes and glasses, wearing either a simple white outfit emblazoned with a Sun Microsystems logo, or in a magical-girl outfit. In the OSC storyline proposals, this design is considered a representation of Solaris-tan's young self.
 
While highly intelligent and possessing a good work ethic, her demeanor is hot-headed and competitive, sometimes to the point of belligerence and rash behavior. Among the Unix Family, she is one of the highest-ranked of Unix's daughters; she is well-aware of this fact and acts accordingly haughty. Since delving into Open Sorcery, she has attempted to be more humble and genuinely sociable, but her continuing rivalries with other prominent Unixes in the Linux/Unix Consortium tends to push her - and their - patience to its limits.  
 
Her "day job" as coffee-shop owner seems to go against both her social status and her personality, but by all accounts she is a good manager and waiter. It is unknown how she came about opening a coffee shop - whether it arose from some inner desire to have a "normal" job, or if it was ordered by Unix as a way to help Solaris develop a sense of humility.  


Her demeanor is aristocratic, hot-headed, competitive, and often times belligerent. Among the Unix Family, she is one of the highest-ranked of Unix's daughters; her day job seems to go against both her social status and her personality. Since delving into Open Sorcery, she has attempted to be more humble and genuinely sociable, but her continuing rivalries with other prominent Unixes in the Linux/Unix Consortium tends to push her patience to its limits.  
Solaris-tan's sorcery is extremely powerful, yet difficult to precisely pin. She has the ability to control magnetic and electrical fields, a power than can be manifested on large scales - such as telepathically controlling magnetic objects - and incredibly tiny and intricate ones, such as manipulating the neurological functions of other OS-tans.  


===Family and relationships===
===Family and relationships===
====Unix and Linux====
Solaris and Unix-tan's relationship is best described as somewhat strained. While she is rewarded by Unix for being one of the strongest and most successful of her grandchildren, Unix is irritated by her arrogance and short-tempered nature.
Her relationship with Linux-tan is similarly complex, viewing her as a mix of rival and inspiration.


====Spring OS====
====Spring OS====
Spring OS-tan was her younger sister, born in the early 1990's. Spring OS-tan was sickly her whole life, and was too sick to fight in the Unix Wars, and didn't understand why the family was torn in war. Solaris-tan was initially motivated to fight, promising Spring OS that she could end the war and restore peace to the family, and that they could spend more time together afterwards. She died before the end of the war. Her death greatly upset Solaris-tan, and drove her to become selfish.
