Origin of Fake Haruna ━━━★

This is totally going to be different from what I normally post, but I thought it would be interesting.

We are all familiar with Fake Haruna (most commonly known as Nini-tan nowadays). She originally is a spoof off of Haruna who came from another desktop program called Personaware. Initially, Personaware was well received, being free and supported by a wide range of networks. Eventually as time went on, it had a paywall to it, it’s features were negatively being changed, and people were dissatisfied with the software.

Kuroi, the developer of Fake Haruna, was extremely unhappy with the way Personaware has changed. He began to release Fake Haruna to “chop Haruna into pieces”.  The new software, MATERIA, was evolving day to day, and the conversations with the desktop mascot were fresh and entertaining. As it grew and grew, more users of Personaware switched to Fake Haruna, and it grew into a major software with a cult following. 

The name that was coined was “arbitrary” (任意) as Fake Haruna could be whatever anyone could decide what her name should be, making her name optional. “Nini-tan” means any/arbitrary-tan and is what she is commonly called to now.

“Despite the silly name, users refer to the adorable mascot as a disdain for capitalist utilitarianism and a compliment to the author.”
