This is Windows 3.1-tan, also known as Ōbaba-sama (大婆様), a personification of Windows 3.1! She’s a quiet and graceful character often depicted in a long, frilly violet gown with a 3.1 brooch on her collar.

Ōbaba has a unique connection to DOS Kitty, her inseparable companion who represents DOS. This relationship reflects Windows 3.x’s reliance on DOS. In some depictions, DOS Kitty is portrayed as a black cat, while in others, she’s a small catgirl nurse.

In the OS-tan family, Ōbaba is considered the younger sister of Oichi (Windows 1.0-tan) and the older sister of NT-Mama. She’s also often seen as Windows 95-tan's mother.

Originally, Ōbaba did not exist as a character and Windows 3.1 was portrayed as a box similar to what Windows 98 and 98SE-tan have but more recent depictions prefer the human design by ＥＧ３３. Her manner of speaking is often ending sentences with "ja". Despite being retired, she’s depicted tending a family shrine or occasionally donning military uniforms, suggesting a proactive role in the "OS Wars."

Ōbaba’s design debuted in 2004.
