Inu-T (Japanese: いぬてぃ, Inutei) is an OS-tan that personifies Windows NT, presumably the versions before Windows 2000.

History

The first design of her was published on June 22, 2004 in a Futaba Channel thread[1]. The design was similar as NT Maman's (who debuted on September 28, 2003) and the characters were treated as the same.

Later in 2004, user Haruka published the current dog design, and from this point Inu-T and NT Maman were treated as independent and separate characters[1].

Design

Inu-T is depicted as a dog kemonomimi, and has blue or light purple hair, fluffy droopy dog ears, a dog's tail and a red collar. Both the ears and tail have white at the ends. She usually wears gloves and boots shaped like paws, and colored blue to match her ears and tail. She also wears a yellow ribbon on her hair and a sleeveless light blue one-piece.

Portrayals

Inu-T is a carefree, sweet and spunky person, with an endearing dog-like attitude[Challenged]ⓘ. Most depictions of her show her being able to speak human language and waking with 2 legs. She rarely speaks and most of the times only expresses herself with "wafun" ("わふーん")[2].

Inu-T wasn't the brightest bulb among the OS-tans, and is frequently presented as a comic relief with Me-tan. Because of its high memory capacity for an old OS, she is often portrayed as a gluttonous eater like XP-tan, and often finds herself in risky situations due to her nature[Challenged]ⓘ.

Some portrayals feature Inu-T as 2K-tan's sister, and is able to communicate with other OS-tans, while others don't show her being able to speak in the human language, and walks on all fours like a dog[Challenged]ⓘ.

Trivia

  • The reason Inu-T is a dog kemonomimi comes from the romaji of NT (enu-ti), which sounds like inu ti, and inu (いぬ) is the Japanese for dog[2].
