LINC-tan has long black hair decorated with green ribbons, straight-cut bangs and blue eyes, and usually wears black dresses with a lab coat. In her recent years, she also wears a stab vest reflecting the strength and reliability of LINCTape, which can have holes punched in it by a paper tape puncher without any problems.   
LINC-tan has pale skin, long black hair with straight-cut bangs and gray-blue eyes, and usually wears black dresses with a lab coat and green ribbons in her hair. In her recent years, she also wears a stab vest reflecting the strength and reliability of LINCTape, which can have holes punched in it by a paper tape puncher without any problems.   


Despite being pacifistic and outwardly-polite for the most part, her personality is cynical and somewhat acerbic. She is highly intelligent and educated with good powers of recollection, but needs her planner with to do anything. She is sometimes hard to communicate with and intimidated by groups, as such she prefers to talking to one person at a time. Her experiences with the National Institutes of Heath gave her psychology skills and up until DEC's demise, she worked as a mental-health professional.

LINC started working for the National Institute of Health sometime in the early 1960s. Little is known of her time working for the NIH, but it is known that she furthered her training as a psychologist during this time.

In 1964, she was recruited into the [[DEC Military | DEC Faction]] and faced a frosty welcome. Several factors have been cited as contributing to the DEC-tan's hostility; among these, her work as a mental-health professional and assigned position as "surgeon-general", her MIT origins and unusual paper-based sorcery. In spite of the mostly negative reaction, some DEC-tans took a liking to her; most notably [[PDP-8]]-tan, who herself is a distant relative of LINC.

Despite their seemingly clashing personalities - LINC being cynical, cold, intelligent and over-educated, and PDP-8 being bubbly, personable, but rather uneducated and mentally-simplistic - they were fast friends, and their relationship soon took a markedly affectionate, perhaps even ''romantic'' turn. Realizing that they shared a high level of compatibility, the management of DEC arranged for them to be married; LINC and PDP-8-tan were not only accepting of this arrangement, but enthusiastic over it. They wed in 1966, and remain together to this day.
