	====Commodore Minuteman====		====Commodore Minuteman====
			Minuteman-tan was PET's tutor, and PET looked up to her as a second mother. PET-tan learned her aggressiveness from her.

	====VIC-20====		====VIC-20====
			VIC-20-tan and PET-tan never really had a sibling rivalry since they competed in different markets and had different rivals, but did share a rivalry with the Atari-tans. PET-tan couldn't compete with the technically superior Atari-tans, and was accepting of VIC-20-tan's more advanced abilities, and helped train her. VIC-20-tan admired PET-tan from an early age, and inherited hers and Minuteman-tan's aggressive streak, which fueled her successful campaigns against the Atari-tans and the game console-tans.

	====Amiga====		====Amiga====
			PET-tan used to be antagonistic. While she never had anything personal against Amiga-tan, PET-tan disliked that Amiga-tan frequently disregarded the finer details of etiquette. Now that PET-tan has become a lot less uptight, she gets along well with her.

	====Commodore 65====		====Commodore 65====
			PET-tan never met Commodore 65-tan until long after the Commodore Family disbanded. After a series of misunderstandings were cleared up, the two found out they have a lot in common, and are now good friends.

			====Apple II====

			====Atari DOS====

 Commodore PET-tan is the personification of Commodore International's first successful computer. Released in 1977, it competed with the Apple II and TRS-80 for control of the US Computer Market. Although it was not a top seller outside the Canadian, US, and UK educational markets, it was Commodore's first full-featured computer and would form the basis for their future success.

-But when the Commodore Family disbanded and PET-tan was left as a wanderer, she saw how old and helpless she was on her own and her sights of the OS Wars humbled her a lot. She joined the fledgeling [[Binteeji Renmei]]. Once she met Amiga-tan and Apple II-tan (one of her former rivals) at the fledgeling Binteeji Renmei, she would have already been quite willing to put the past behind her along with them and start fresh.

During her time there, she became the laid-back individual she is today.
 Also in her youth, PET-tan used to be a formidable fighter and wielded a cutlass. Her mightiest attack was her Killer POKE which would instantly kill the opponent, but used as a last resort to save the day. However in the present day she is weak and slow, and her Killer POKE attack is now the only attack of hers that she can used to cause any damage (though it's still lethal) if she can even get close enough to her opponent in battle. But that's not a problem to her as she is now a pacifist anyways.

			==Character details==
		⚫	Commodore PET-tan is depicted as a small and young girl wearing her old Commodore uniform, resembling that of a naval captain's. She used to also wear an old-fashioned admiral's hat, and have her uniform decorated by many medals but when the [[Commodore Family]] was in its last throes, she sold those for some extra money her family seriously needed. She has short black hair, two large side-bangs by her face with a large circular metal plate attached as a subtle reference to the steel case of the original PET. She wears a pair of Velcro boots, a nod to the Anti-Gravity Slippers featured in 2001: A Space Odyssey, which was the inspiration for the styling on the original PET.

			She is sweet, soft-spoken and old-fashioned. She is also wise, optimistic and very pleasant to interact with. Despite her innocent and young appearance, she has a mature mindset and is surprisingly entrepreneurial. Also contrasting with the rest of her appearance is her eyes which are very intimidating so in the present day she always keeps them closed except when angry. PET-tan is also great at caring for animals and takes care of the KameLogo, a flying triangular turtle based on the old LOGO software.

			She used to be rivals with [[Apple II \| Apple II-tan]] and [[Atari DOS \| Atari DOS-tan]] but now the three of them are best of friends.

	==OSC Notes==		==OSC Notes==
			Back when she was in service of the old Commodore Family fleet until their disbanding in 1994, PET-tan was extremely professional and austere- she was prim and proper while off-duty but stern and calculating when on the field. She was initially jealous of her sisters, [[Commodore VIC-20 \| VIC20-tan]] and [[Commodore 64 \|C64-tan]], for their color displays and larger memory, but she grew to accept them as the VIC-20 was supplanted by the C64 and the C64 was supplanted by the C128. She did not get along with [[Amiga \| Amiga-tan]] back then because PET-tan disliked her very unprofessional attitude.

	The present-day PET-tan can best be described as somewhat Janus-faced. While on the outside she seems anemic and pleasant, she is prone to sudden and unexplained fits of rage, a nod to the Jack Attacks of Commodore's CEO, Jack Tramiel. However, PET-tan in her early days competently commanded the Commodore armada, facing off against her rivals. Initially jealous of her sisters, VIC20-tan and C64-tan, for their color displays and larger memory, she grew to accept them as the VIC-20 was supplanted by the C64 and the C64 was supplanted by the C128.

===Description===
Commodore PET-tan is the personification of Commodore International's first successful computer. Released in 1977, it competed with the Apple II and TRS-80 for control of the US Computer Market. Although it was not a top seller outside the Canadian, US, and UK educational markets, it was Commodore's first full-featured computer and would form the basis for their future success.
