Character details
Multiple designs
As of this date, there are several known renditions of Ubuntu-tan. The first was posted on 6/12/2005 by the Japanese artist Piro. This Ubuntu-tan is portrayed as a young, wild and happy-go-lucky girl with only a very slight dark-skinned complexion and blue eyes. She is scantily-clad with motif's from the default Human Gnome desktop theme and wears high-heeled sandals. Pieces of the Ubuntu logo are also featured as her hairclip and forming a kind of energy shawl around her chest.
The second rendition was posted on 10/9/2005 by the Italian artist Juzo-kun. This Ubuntu-tan is older and much more genuinely dark-skinned, but still has a kind and serene quality to her. Her clothing is also a combination of motifs based on the Ubuntu logo and the default Human Gnome desktop theme; however, she also sports armor and a spear, following the trend of depicting all Linux-tans as members of a warrior-class.
Both versions follow the theme of making Ubuntu a dark-skinned girl of probable African decent, given the South African roots of the Ubuntu Linux distribution. There have been several fanart renditions of Ubuntu-tan, usually more-or-less modeled after Juzo-kun's design, with varying styles of clothing.
Characterization

She is knowledgeable and forgiving with those new to Linux; all of which are references to the customizable and user-friendly nature of the operating system. She is also generally seen as quite youthful and good looking. In the OS-tan expanded universe, she is one of the most popular and successful diplomats, towards other factions, and within the Linux Unix Consortium.
Incidentally, the meaning of the word Ubuntu is generally suggested to mean humanity towards others.
