What Makes Her a Personification?
- The first letter of her name is derived from ZX81, and her last name is from Sinclair Research.
- Her narrow color palette is derived from ZX81's hardware and graphics limitations.
- The Houndstooth pattern in her dress is similar to a ZX81 hardware quirk, and also references ZX81 being manufactured in Scotland, as the contemporary Houndstooth pattern originated from the Scottish Lowlands.[1]
- Her role in education is based on ZX81's impact in British society, especially in the educational field.
- She used to actively perform as a stage magician in festivals (and still does, though less frequently), which is inspired by the ZX Microfair. [2]
