EDVAC-tan is depicted as a woman of average height, with medium olive skintone, short, curled silver hair, and silver eyes. Like [[ENIAC | ENIAC-tan]], she is an automaton, though her mechanical traits are less apparent, and doesn't have the exposed wires or sockets of her predecessor.<ref>Refined ideas pioneered in ENIAC.</ref> She wears a 1940s-contemporary dress with a yellow tie, and hat with short black veil, typically disheveled. She carries counting tools and artillery tables, and can usually be found smoking from a long cigarette holder. When she's on duty, she wears a WAC uniform.<ref>https://www.ostan-collections.net/forum/index.php/topic,466.msg177210.html#msg177210</ref> | |||
===Personality=== | ===Personality=== | ||
Her personality reflects ENIAC-tan's pride and primness, without her graciousness or patience. She remains bitterly wounded, although she's gotten better at hiding her regrets she bares her feelings when the conversation turns to her past. Despite her scientific acumen she's less academic than others in her family, instead being hands-on and happiest when she has a practical problem to solve. Despite her achievements she's sabotaged by obsessive tendencies. | |||
