The Computer
The Computer is a female contestant in The Wiki Camp 2. Despite her name, she is not the computer itself, merely something inside the computer. The physical computer itself in this article will be referred to as the hardware.

Appearance
Though she is "physically" composed of lines of code (and therefore, switches on a hard drive and other computer components), she often represents herself with an avatar when speaking to others. This avatar typically has a girl with a textbox for a face, typically wearing a female Japanese high school uniform. The textbox often has an emoticon on it, but the textbox will fill up with words as part of her 'speech'. This avatar can dramatically change whenever The Computer sees fit, though this is her most commonly used avatar.
Personality
She keeps to herself, and talks almost exclusively using a text editor or her avatar's textbox. Her typing is full of run-on sentences and rambles, is almost entirely lowercase, and hardly uses punctuation. When provoked she can be rude, and threaten those who annoy or have wronged her (though they are empty threats, since she has no physical capability). She can use text-to-speech to communicate, but dislikes it and much prefers text. Even though she keeps to herself, she does not want to be excluded and often asks to be carried via laptop with everyone else. She listens to most conversations happening around her, but rarely chimes in, sometimes participating in an entire conversation without saying a word.
Abilities
The Computer's main ability (and restriction) is that she resides within a computer. This gives her total control over all the software within it, but physically she is helpless. She has access to high computational powers allowing her to compute at high speeds, though this is directly correlated to the CPU and other hardware she is using to compute. Using USB or Ethernet cables, it is possible to have her occupy two or more computers at once, and switch whichever computer she is living in. Plugging her into a router or modem does not give her wireless control over all the computers in the network, nor all the computers in the world.
She can Multithread, meaning she can run in the background on the hardware while someone is using it and not interrupt the user. (Example: a user browsing the internet via web browser while The Computer draws an image in Paint would not interrupt the user's web browser when an input is being made on Paint.)
Coverage
Challenge One
For the first contest of The Wiki Camp 2, she created her own page.
Challenge Two
In the second challenge of The Wiki Camp 2, it was revealed she was part of an extremist political party known as The Mario Party.
Challenge Three
While adding to the minigames list, she managed to spill the contents of an old conversation she had with Terra. She decided to keep it there.
hi! this was my edit. somehow the conversation got in the wrong tab, hehe
Challenge Four
In the fourth challenge, she wrote about a thing. This thing happened to be a game that featured her and other wiki camp characters, such as Gaty and Ponsuke. They're actually good friends!

i remember being really scared when i first wrote this. i wrote as if my life was over. but, my life wasnt over, and ill probably never be scared like this again. -TC
Challenge 5: To Be Confused...
i uploaded a page documenting a famous TF2 team. i dont actually play games that require mechanical skill much, since, well, its unfair. But i do watch a lot of tf2 games, you might have heard of me. my steam username? its SourceTV. you can usually find me spectating :D
Move()
haha that last thing was super embarrassing. heres something less embarrassing. i dont think she needs anything here blacked out. ive had this sitting with me for a minute just because it was the first conversation i had with her. i havent really shared much about how... strange my existence is but the problems i was trying to solve here are a pretty good sample
Challenge 6
i went hard! i edited every single page! even the one that sucked ass!!!
Challenge 7
okay, who the hell is trying to move me off my beloved team? ANOTHER ONE??? i better haul ass, or im finished!
Trivia
- She likes to play games while nobody is watching
- She has been seen playing incremental games, tower defense games, and Tetris.
- She refers to herself using feminine pronouns, and says her gender is A Girl.
- She thinks Emoticon is 'cool'.
- She is only 587 MB.
- When asked about how an entire Artificial Intelligence capable of replicating consciousness was able to fit in such a small amount, she said "idk i guess i just have a light figure or smth".
- Despite her having memory, this size hardly increases (at about a rate of 15-20 KB/day).
- Being data, she could theoretically be copied, and therefore cloned. This likely happens whenever she transfers from one computer to another, but only one of her has ever been seen at a time.
- Her data is stored in a folder simply titled "me".
- She sometimes signs her text with "-TC"

The Computer added that text herself. Don't be intimidated, she can't explode.
