			===Physical===
	Plan 9-tan is portrayed as an eccentric rabbit-eared girl with horn-rimmed or square glasses, short white hair, and pale eyes. She mainly wears form-fitting space suits in grey and white. In formal dress, she wears a low-cut gown modeled after Vampira's.
			Plan 9-tan is fairly short like many of the Unices. She is only slightly taller than UNIX, being her direct descendant. She has pale skin, pale eyes and white hair, with white rabbit ears. Her rabbit ears and white hair are references to Plan 9's mascot, Glenda. She wears horn-rimmed or square glasses, and has her hair is short, usually styled as a chin-length bob cut with short bangs.

			Her main outfit is a grey and white, stylized space suits. She has also been portrayed in formal dress, wearing a low-cut gown modeled after Vampira's of Plan 9 from Outer Space.
⚫	In her ~~youth~~, ~~before~~ ~~she~~ ~~founded~~ ~~the~~ ~~User~~ ~~Space~~ ~~Gang~~, she used to have medium-length black or dark-grey hair, and wore business-like clothing. She originally modeled herself after UNIX, wanting to be just like her but more, to show herself as a worthy heir. After defecting, and after the Unix Wars, she changed to her current appearance.

		⚫	She retains some resemblance to her mother, but did not always have white hair. In her youth, she used to have medium-length black, or dark-grey hair, and wore business-like clothing.

	Her bunny ears white hair and white suits are references to Plan 9's mascot, Glenda. Her formal dresses, space ship and that she is a necromancer are also references to Plan 9 from Outer Space.

			===Personality===
	Personality-wise, she is very strong-willed and likes well-planned, elegant solutions. She is described as 'alien', or, 'just plain weird, and having no sense for aesthetics to most other OS-tans, the latter referencing Plan 9's less than elegant GUI.
			Plan 9-tan is eccentric and weirds out nearly every OS-tan she meets at first. She is strong-willed and likes well-planned, elegant solutions, but not necessarily elegant aesthetics. To most other OS-tans, she has no sense for aesthetics, referencing Plan 9's unelegant GUI. She has the charisma and organizational skills needed to unite her relatives who defected from the Unix Wars, and organize the User Space Gang. Outside the User Space Gang though, other OS-tans describe her as 'alien', or 'just plain weird'. She is outgoing, but socially awkward; her eccentricities reinforced by her comrades being eccentrics themselves. She has several geeky interests, and is fond of old B-movies.

			===Powers===
	Her special ~~abilities~~ ~~are~~ as a necromancer. She can temporarily bring deceased OS-tans and hardware-tans from the dead, ~~but~~ only as mindless zombie-like minions that die off again after a short while.		Her special ability is that she is a necromancer. She can temporarily bring deceased OS-tans and hardware-tans from the dead.

	==History and Background==		==History and Background==
			Plan 9-tan was born in the mid 1980's, and is UNIX's most direct descendant. She originally wasn't the heir of the Unix Dynasty, and wasn't intended to be; her creation was experimental. When the Unix Wars erupted in the late 1980's, and with Solaris-tan (then the heir-apparent) playing a pivotal role in sparking the War, UNIX appointed Plan 9-tan. Most of the Unices considered her an unsuitable heir, and was not taken seriously by them.
⚫	~~She~~ ~~admired~~ ~~Unix~~ at ~~first~~, wanted to be just like her, and ~~was~~ eager to take up ~~UNIX's~~ responsibilities at first, ~~but~~ ~~disagreed~~ ~~with~~ ~~her~~ ~~actions~~ ~~during~~ ~~the~~ ~~Unix~~ ~~wars.~~ ~~She~~ ~~complied~~ ~~for~~ a while in ~~the wars~~, but what finally set her off was when she reported Xenix's death in the war to UNIX, and was appalled by UNIX's apparent indifference.

		⚫	At first, she was overjoyed to become UNIX's heir, wanted to be just like her, and eager to take up her responsibilities at first. As the Wars went on, she disagreed more and more with UNIX's actions. For a while, she complied, but what finally set her off was when she reported [[Xenix\|Xenix's]] death in the war to UNIX, and was appalled by UNIX's apparent indifference. Plan 9-tan refused to accept UNIX's social darwinist attitude towards her own family.
⚫	She ~~did~~ ~~not~~ ~~want~~ to be UNIX's heir if it meant going against her own ideals, conforming to the things she hates and having to harm her family further. Plan 9-tan left and ~~teamed~~ up with [[FreeBSD \| FreeBSD-tan]], [[OpenBSD \| OpenBSD-tan]] and [[NetBSD \| NetBSD-tan]] and ~~started~~ ~~their~~ ~~own~~ ~~faction~~.

		⚫	She no longer wanted to be UNIX's heir if it meant going against her own ideals, conforming to the things she hates, and having to harm her family further. Plan 9-tan left. While on her own as a drifter, she met [[Linux\|Linux-tan]], also a drifter, and they became friends. They parted ways, with Linux-tan negotiating with the Unix Family, and Plan 9-tan recruiting the other Unix-tans who defected from the Unix Wars. Circa 1993 or 1994, she initially recruited [[FreeBSD \| FreeBSD-tan]], [[OpenBSD \| OpenBSD-tan]] and [[NetBSD \| NetBSD-tan]], and they created the User Space Gang.

	She now also has a daughter ([[Inferno \| Inferno-tan]]), a clone ([[Plan B \| Plan B-tan]]) and a granddaughter/clone ([[Octopus \| Octopus-tan]]).		She now also has a daughter ([[Inferno \| Inferno-tan]]), a clone ([[Plan B \| Plan B-tan]]) and a granddaughter/clone ([[Octopus \| Octopus-tan]]).
