Sonata is cheerful, modest, and responsible, often acting as a caretaker for the other Mac characters. She enjoys painting and has good relations with Windows OS-tans like ME-tan and XP-tan. Compared to Mac OS-tan, she is calm, easygoing, and dependable. Sonata acts as an older sister figure to the OSX-kuns and maintains the Mac household gently and motherly. Despite her calm demeanor and dislike of conflict, she was involved in the OS Wars, where she reportedly used apple bombs or firearms.
