Estelle Parkins is a character in UNIVER.SYS. She is a Techne from Ethereal Canopy and former member of the defunct unit Graphicus Initiative. She is currently residing in Logiciel.

History

Estelle's first design was posted on a now-deleted post on Twitter in November 5, 2022. [1] Her design and character bio were later refined and published on OS-tans.moe in April 7, 2023, before being moved to Moeverse.

Character

Trivia

Technical

  • Estelle represents the Xerox Star computer, the first commercial computer that introduced GUI, folders, and Ethernet networking, and a successor to the Xerox Alto.
  • Her first name is of French and Occitan origin, meaning "star",[2] and her last name Parkins is derived from Xerox PARC, the company Ethereal Canopy is based off of.
  • Her design features star motifs, and her color scheme is mainly yellow, referencing Xerox Star's original codename Dandelion. [3]
  • She is a well-known influencer and idol despite her own shortcomings, which reflects Xerox Star's influence to many computers and OSes despite its poor marketing by Xerox's executives. [4]
  • Her interest as an aviator alludes to Xerox Star's Pilot operating system.

Misc.

  • Estelle decided to move to Logiciel instead of Prismage because she found the latter's art market to be more saturated the former. This also alludes to Xerox Star's GUI being an influence to Windows and to an extent Microsoft Office, and how the Xerox Star was intended to be the "office of the future".[5]
