In 2003, the anime Bottle Fairy quietly aired on Japanese television. Among its cast of magical girls was Hororo — a soft-spoken, slow-moving fairy who seemed to exist in a world entirely her own. Speaking in riddles and poetic fragments, Hororo stood apart from her peers. She wasn’t just cute — she was strange, dreamy, and deeply disconnected in a way that felt almost prophetic.

Fast forward to the age of the blockchain, and Hororo’s essence reemerged — reimagined, remixed, and viral. Milady Maker, the Ethereum NFT collection that defined a cultural moment, owes its aesthetic and emotional DNA to this obscure moe fairy. The wide, vacant eyes. The pastel void. The strange mix of innocence, irony, and emotional distance — all trace back to Hororo.
