This is version 2.0 of Plurpy, and the first face you see when you open Pluralpedia.
2.0? What happened to 1.0? Well you see, Plurpy 1.0 was made in a picrew, back when there were less than 20 people on the project! Most picrew makers don't let you use their outputs for anything aside from personal icon use, and we decided to future-proof the project and step away from that image as quickly as we could!
We still have the original saved, though, don't you worry. You can even see it under the cut!
Fantastically Plurple!

Back during the early days of Pluralpedia, when we barely knew that we wanted to call it Pluralpedia yet, the Discord server where it all started began discussing a mascot. Ideas were thrown around, and as everyone was feeling excited for this mascot, this Pluralpedia-tan (Plurpy-tan for short), Nikiha of the @frost-system came up with a quick visual for the mascot...
... Leading to the first mass-introjection event of over half a dozen so-called Plurptives, across just as many systems. Many more Plurptives were to come, but forevermore would Plurpy, the purple-haired girl with a penchant for books, be the through-line of the wiki community.
