Better Category?

Thanks for FAC to approve my artwork
But I've got a question

http://www.fanart-central.net/pic-553644.html

This is a personification of a programming language called Ruby, as I stated in the description.
I just can't decide where the pic should be put because there is no category for this kind of pic. Finally I registered it under the category of

Miscellaneous > Science & Technology

Because I believe it is the best category to place the artwork.
However, the management of FAC might find it unsuitable to place it there, so they've chosen a new category for me:

Miscellaneous > Characters > Female > Teenagers (13-18)

But I think it can't reflect the nature of my artwork.

So, if management of FAC insists that my artwork has to put under that category, I may have to suggest a new.

Miscellaneous > Objects > Personification

Ah, I remember processing that one. The Miscellsneous category is (almost by definition) loosely organized, but several of the sections are intended for drawings based on real-life observation.

The "Science & Technology" category is intended primarily for drawings of things like calculators, computers, cars, etc., in other words drawings [i]of[/i] actual technology objects. It is not a place for characters [i]based on[/i] science or technology.

(I just spent a few minutes cleaning up said category.)

Basically, what you have here is an "OS-tan", moe anthropomorphism of a computer software. We do not have a proper OS-tan category at this time due to a general (as yet) lack of demand for it, as well as the difficulty of classifying it under an existing heading.
