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 EDVAC-tan color sketches]</ref> | EDVAC-tan is depicted as a woman of average height, with medium olive skintone, short, curled silver hair, and silver eyes.

At the BRL she found herself forced to work with [[ORDVAC | ORDVAC-tan]] and [[BRLESC | BRLESC-tan]], whom she eventually warmed up to, even if she never fully understood them. | At the BRL she found herself forced to work with [[ORDVAC | ORDVAC-tan]] and [[BRLESC | BRLESC-tan]], whom she eventually warmed up to, even if she never fully understood them. She also got along with the IBM hardware who passed through the lab, particularly [[IBM 728 | IBM 728-kun]].<ref>[https://www.tumblr.com/multician/812260981400109056/oc-lore-idk-if-youve-already-made-a-post-about Discussion of early computer-tan dynamics]</ref> | ||
She is well-regarded and respected in the ordnance computer community, but tends to go unnoticed by the wider world. | She is well-regarded and respected in the ordnance computer community, but tends to go unnoticed by the wider world. | ||
