Karv designed a moe representation of Windows 11[2].
Design
This Windows 11 interpretation has long, Link Water hair, and blue eyes. She wears a mostly blue dress with long sleeves, and long white socks. She also wears a Windows 11 logo hair accessory.
History
Karv published his representation of Windows 11 on September 1st, 2021 on Pixiv[3], which is presumably her debut.
She probably became the most popular representation of Windows 11, completely overshadowing others like 11-chan despite the latter originating from the community that developed OS-tan, to the point that the Windows's Instagram account chose to use her in a video presenting Windows moe personifications and mascots posted on September 26, 2024[4]. This further boosted her popularity, but also as a consequence made many incorrectly consider her as the reference moe representation of Windows 11.
Profile
Karv does not appear to have revealed any information about her personality. However, due to her popularity, various people made up material about her.
He did portray her with a deaged Tōko Madobe in a few lewd artworks[5], possibly implying that she was meant to be part of an alternate Madobe Family.
