Inu-T

Inu-T (いぬてぃ) is one of the personified Windows NTs on Nijiura.

Overview

First Appearance	1996/12/10 (Release date of Windows NT 4.0 in Japan)
System Personified	Windows NT 4.0

Inu-T (いぬてぃ) is the daughter of DekaMaster who is separated from NT-Mama, her mother, and the sister of 2k-tan and the others.

Because she is a dog, she is not allowed in the house, and when she tries to enter, 2k-tan prevents her.

The reason she is a dog comes from the romaji representation of enu ti, this sounds a lot like inu ti, and inu (いぬ) is the Japanese word for dog.

She does not know that she is a father to DekaMaster], but she recognizes him as someone who improves NT-Mama's mood when he comes to the house.

Together with Konton-san and Akuma Gaoru, she had formed the Inu-Inu-Dan (a group of dogs), of which she is the leader. The battle between the Inu-Inu-Dan, who try to enter the house using various means such as fraud, tricks, large weapons, and even supernatural phenomena, against 2k-tan, who try to stop them by any means possible, is not only fierce but has become a kind of art form.

The kennel in the yard where she lives has a basement that is a more splendid secret base than the main house, but there is no indication that 2k-tan knows about it. It is also not clear why she would maintain such a huge facility while trying to break into 2k-tan's home, which is much smaller and far less well equipped.

The inuppy script was written as a parody of Snoopy, with CE as Woodstock.

History

When the doujin circle DejaVu independently created a NT design (a tongue-in-cheek character with pointed mechanical cat ears and purple hair) that looked a lot like 2k-tan. Inu-T was made into a OS Girl of Futaba against the NT design by DejaVu.

Appearance

Inu-T has blue hair, dog ears, a dog's tail and a collar. 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 just like her mother.

Personality

Most depictions of Inu-T show her as a young girl, with an endearing dog-like attitude, with carefree, sweet and spunky traits, even if she is a bit simple-minded.

Her intelligence also varies widely from human-like to dog-like.

She has almost no sense of shame and is always dressed up in unprotected outfits, making those around her feel uncomfortable.

Relationships

Shitsuji-kun

While she and Shitsuji-kun are seen as an interspecies couple, some believe that subjectively they are simply in a predatory (as in the prey is food in a playful sense) relationship.

Overall they are friends that get along together but Inu-T does not know about Shitsuji-kun's crush on her.
