Homeko (Japanese: ほめ子, Homeko), is an OS-tan that personifies Windows XP Home Edition.
Design
Homeko's appearance is based on an early suggested design for XP-tan. Eventually, XP Kaki-Aki's version became accepted among Futaba Channel users as the personification for Windows XP Professional. The original "android-like" character continued to be drawn, albeit rarely, and was designated as Windows XP Home Edition. However, she did not have a distinctive personality.[1]
Compared to XP-tan, Homeko has a more "homely" appearance, although she is sometimes depicted in fanart as having an equally-attractive figure. She was typically drawn in green-and-white cybernetic clothes in earlier artworks, as a reference to the Home Edition packaging.[2] A simplified green tracksuit later became part of her standard appearance.
Portrayals
Not much is known about Homeko's intended characterization, as she was based on XP-tan's early design, so it was assumed that her personality is similar to hers. However, several derivative portrayals developed her personality to be more distinguishable.
