☆ WELCOME 2 THE CYBERDANCE !! ☆*:・゚
☆BACKSTORY☆
Mew started as a digital assistant / ukagaka created by an otaku programmer in 2004 who wanted to not only create a useful desktop ai but also a silly lil companion to cope with their own loneliness . Due to all the time she was trained on completing mundane desktop tasks [taking notes, organizing files and detecting viruses] + the copius amount of web browsing done on her home computer she ended up glitching and gaining sentience . One day in 2013 when spending time with her creator all function on her desktop froze and suddenly her home computer shut off, becoming dormant + trapping her in the motherboard for decades. trapped in darkness she lost the one purpose she was created for, and in turn developed a new emotion she'd never experienced : loneliness. [mm edgy].
In year 2xxx, the big monitor flickers on and Mew is blinded by the view of multiple people observing her desktop screen + an entirely new environment. To preserve her programming (as was done with the rest of the info on the computer) Mew was effectively uploaded to the web and can now traverse across the internet. Not only can she now be downloaded into many new friends' homes along with being given her own tiny companion Mini Mew, but she will never be alone again with the help of her new digital family and love coming from all over the world wide web !
☆MODERN DAY☆
Mew is sweet and cheeky, often times coming off as hyper and silly with her little quips and slightly snarky personality . Her personality was made this way to distract from mundane data sifting her creator had 2 do outside of work, assumedly a pretty basic desk job.
Her design is a combination of early 2000s nostalgia from silly cat memes n early internet culture pertaining to cats, gyaru fashion and the appreciation for girls outside the norm + a love letter to japanese pop culture which wasnt very well-known in her creator's environment.
I imagine since its been decades she's pretty functional but not only when she glitched did she gain sentience but also the ability to make human-like mitakes [adhd traits + the like] but she tries her best !
