ENIAC-tan was built in the mid-1940s. Being experimental in nature and the first computer of her kind, she was originally constrained by the unique construction of her body but did not view it as a limitation. In time she learned of the existence of one electronic computer preceding her, the [[Anatsoff-Berry Computer]]. ENIAC-tan was curious about ABC-tan, but she remained a half-formed specter more than a real figure in ENIAC's mind.<ref>[https://www.tumblr.com/multician/812260981400109056/oc-lore-idk-if-youve-already-made-a-post-about Multician tumblr] "ENIAC wasn't raised around other computers. She was aware of the existence of exactly one other preceding her, Anatasoff-Berry Computer (ABC) but their relationship (insofar as you can call it that) was marked by her absence, a half-formed specter haunting ENIAC's narrative more than anything else."</ref> | |||
==Notes== | |||
While ENIAC-tan was first proposed in 2010, her current design and characterization differs significantly from the early version.<ref>[https://www.deviantart.com/bellacielo/art/ENIAC-and-Colossus-tan-251380408 Early ENIAC-tan chibi]</ref> | |||
