Technical details
This character represents the Commodore C16, C116 and Plus/4 but mainly the Plus/4. The three computer systems are similar to each other and were all major flops in the Western markets just the same but at least the Plus/4 had some success in Eastern Europe and was also used in a Danish phone line to help the hearing-impaired. The main factor that caused the C16, C116 and Plus/4 to fail was that they were deliberately limited in their abilities as to not replace the C64 but instead be a very cheap competitor against the Sinclair computers.
The Plus/4 is noted for being Commodore's computer model with a built-in office suite with a word processor, spreadsheet, database and graphing. However its suite is of very poor quality and its inferior graphics and lack of backwards compatibility prevented the Plus/4 from being a gaming machine.
Character details
Plus/4-tan is represented as a girl with short light blue hair, dark blue eyes, and a headset. She wears a black+orange jacket and boots that are part of her old Commodore Family uniform. A recent addition to her outfit is a black+white dress with a grey arrow pattern and rainbow trim imitating the rainbow pattern on the Plus/4.
She is bad at gaming and writing referencing the poorly-made office suite included with the Plus/4 and it's inferior graphics capabilities. Plus/4-tan is still rather melancholy but is compassionate and good at helping others.
