Haiku OS has been in development since 2001, as a successor to Be OS, which was last released in 2000. There were some who said that Haiku OS would never be released, but an alpha version was released in September 2009 with overall good reviews.
She is friends with almost anyone except Linux-tan who hates her de-inhibited behavior and is particularly fond of Tiger-TAN, to the extreme that she actually develops a crush on her.
Her appearance has varied over the early designs, who featured her dressed in shorts and a sweater with the BeOS logo and the words Be Yourself written in it. The sweater and shorts was later dropped in favor of a light shirt featuring the same slogan and logo and a miniskirt, somewhat resembling a schoolgirl outfit, variations of this outfit is the current Haiku look.
Every design features bee antennae on her head and a pair of insect wings on her back (though their size varies from picture to picture), early versions also featured a stinger. She also features very long and single eyelashes resembling a stinger, and amber eyes.
