History and background

When she was in service of the Commodore Fleet, she was firm and professional, but was also mature and motherly, and the only one out of the old guard that treated the young cadet Amiga-tan with any welcoming spirit.

In the early days of their training, the cadet Amiga-tan and C128-tan both garnered their respective and secret fanclubs among the Commodore deck crew. While Amiga-tan's natural charm, friendliness and gaming prowess would've garnered the larger secret fanbase, C128-tan's sweet, gentle and mature air would have earned her points among a loyal and entrenched secret fanbase. They never found out about their secret fanbases in their time at the Commodore Fleet.

Since she was geared for the business market, her main competitors were MS-DOS-tan, PC-DOS-tan, and the PC Compatibles.

In 1989 when C65-tan was born, C128-tan was the only member of the fleet who was entrusted to know of her. She was C65-tan's caregiver, teacher, and mother figure until C65-tan's exile was ordered by executives in 1991. C128-tan hoped to give the young C65-tan a surprise party while simultaneously presenting the joyous news to her other sisters to introduce her to them. But after the horrible news of C65-tan's banishment, she chose not to tell anyone about it. With the company already in its last throes, she could not afford to drop morale even further. After the company's bankruptcy and disbanding of the fleet in 1994, she roamed the world as a Wanderer, and made it her life's work to find the long-lost C65-tan.

Around 2010, she found C65-tan, and wanted to introduce her to the rest of the Commodore-tans in one of the first reunions they had since the fleet disbanded. Conflicts broke out between C65-tan against the other Commodore-tans, who fought her before while they were wanderers, because they thought she was a bootleg OS-tan. C128-tan had to resolve the misunderstandings between them, but was able to properly introduce C65-tan to the rest of the family.
