Character
NT-Mama, also known as NT-maman, is the personification of Windows NT 3.x and other NT releases before Windows 2000. She is often depicted as a maternal and protective figure for other Windows OS-tans, especially 2K-tan and Inu-T.
Appearance
NT-Mama has purple hair tied in a ponytail with a blue or yellow ribbon, and blue or purple eyes. She typically wears a simple pink dress, sometimes with a long-sleeved shirt underneath and an apron over it. Her design varies, but she is often depicted as a young woman with a maternal demeanor.
According to the Trouble Windows OS-tan Fan Book although some personifications of Windows NT were created during the first festival in August 2003, they were almost forgotten. On December 29, 2003, when the topic "Oh, what is NT?" came up, users recalled a simple design drawn on August 28, 2003. The reaction was, "Well, that's fine," and it stuck. This casual acceptance is part of the unique vibe of Futaba Channel.
Eventually, since NT is the foundation for both 2K and XP, she was depicted as the mother of 2K and XP, with more mature proportions and form. This character became commonly known as "NT Mama." Had this trend continued, NT would have been firmly established as a mother figure.
