Who was Minie?

From Archer:

She was always true to herself
She was wacky fun and funny.
She always told the people she loved that she loved them.
She could be stubborn.

~Just some of my recollections

From Hollus:

My memories:

At some point, I remember Minie showing up on Gameday IOW, and she started to become a regular. I don’t remember her “precise” form from these early days. One day, her and I were alone, and she addressed me as “a kitty”, which made me smile. I probably was wearing something that disguised my features some. Also, I’m not the tallest Tiny.

I laughed, and then asked her to take a closer look. She was extremely surprised when she discovered my equine nature, and that I had hooves as well. She then told me that she herself had always been looking for a horsie type of Tiny. I told her about the Tokushi Tinies.

Unfortunately, I had to take a longer time away from SL soon afterwards. When I came back, to my great surprise, I met Minie in her very own and customized unicorn form! I was happy for her and also happy and grateful to see her at Pieni’s side most of the time. Not only is Pieni a wonderful friend, she’s also a very capable builder and artist who helps others with customizing their avatars.

Another strong memory is that Minie was learning German, which is my native language, and we sometimes talked about that. I once translated a longer document for her, which concerned one of her favorite music artists. Also, she added some extremely funny German nicknames to her SL name, and I always had to laugh to myself when I read them:)

From Star:

When I think of Minie, I think of her laugh in rl on voice and her laugh in SL gesture. Both, so full of life and excitement, loud and bold, joy and curiosity, with with more than a little bit of mischief mixed in.

She was always zooming around in her wheelchair, proud to be seen and happy to be out and about with her friends.

One day I had an impromptu party at my beach and I put the enormous Madpea round Pizza Float in the water. There was music and dancing, and Minie got on the float in her wheelchair and said it was the first time she felt safe on the water. She was thrilled and relaxed, enjoying the music and her friends.

Even though I didn’t know you as well as others, I miss you so much Minie.

This amazing bird Auggie makes me think of Minie! She even looks like her, a little. Unique color (Minie loved blue), stubborn, cute, always up to shenanigans, funny. And chosen family. Sounds like Minie. I even told the owner about Minie, and how much Auggie helps us with grief.

To send testimonials, things that remind you of Minie, etc, send a notecard to Pieni inworld, please.
