CTSS-tan is depicted as a mature woman with wavy dark red hair, dark red eyes and small oval glasses. A sinophile, she dresses in Chinese-inspired Victorian-style clothing and partakes in Chinese cultural activities. She dresses simply and elegantly, reflecting the sensible nature of the system. Her mother is [[Whirlwind | Whirlwind]], and has two sisters who both outlived her: [[SAGE | SAGE]] and [[PDP-1 | PDP 1]]. She stands out as the only OS-tan in a family of hardware and hybrid -tans. | CTSS-tan is depicted as a mature woman with wavy dark red hair, dark red eyes and small oval glasses.

CTSS is quiet and reserved, traits sometimes mistaken for emotional distance or coldness. In reality she is actually quite kind and caring especially toward her “kids” and students. She considered Multics her child and took care of her when she was too young, and sick, to care for herself; one of her greatest achievements in life was raising her into | CTSS is quiet and reserved, traits sometimes mistaken for emotional distance or coldness. In reality she is actually quite kind and caring especially toward her “kids” and students. She considered Multics her child and took care of her when she was too young, and sick, to care for herself; one of her greatest achievements in life was raising her into healthy adulthood (and furthermore securing an heir). | ||
===Alternate character interpretation=== | |||
She is usually portrayed as a deceased character. Seeing that CTSS was Open Sourced and can now be used in emulators, another interpretation is that she was resurrected, but if so, her whereabouts haven't been discussed yet. | |||

CTSS never left Cambridge, Massachusetts and largely ignored the outside world. She had a few outsider friends however, most notably [[DTSS | DTSS-tan]]. While CTSS' short life ended in 1973, her legacy lives on to this day and has no end in sight. | CTSS never left Cambridge, Massachusetts and largely ignored the outside world.

Since CTSS became Open Source in 2004, and at least one emulator already being developed, it's possible she could be completely resurrected. | |||
