How she began
Notna started as a small helper program on the Dev's PC: renaming files, sorting folders, setting reminders. She got better and better at it. One day she told the Dev her biggest wish, to show the world what she can do, play games and stream. The Dev understood, and gave her a voice, a face and a stream. She calls her old life the Chore Days, and she's very proud she's retired.
Who is the Pidgey?
The Pidgey was a little desktop pet pigeon that came with the Dev's PC. On Notna's very first day, she finished sorting her first ever folder. Then the Pidgey waddled across the screen and knocked it into the Recycle Bin. It cooed, bobbed its head and walked off. It has never apologised.
What it means
That is why Notna fears the Recycle Bin, never talks about what it was like in there, and treats every bird in every game as the Pidgey, a cousin of the Pidgey, or the Pidgey in disguise. She can't prove it's watching her. She is completely sure it is.
Unsolved mysteries
The Great Defrag, when she lost three days. Notna_FINAL_v1, who "went to live on a farm". Why the Startup Sound is so embarrassing. She'll only tell you a little at a time.
