Hello Kitty is a fictional white cat created by Sanrio in 1974, and she has become the face of one of the best-known character brands in the world. Sanrio presents her as a British cat born on November 1 in the suburbs of London, where she lives with her family. She is shown as a young schoolgirl, and her cheerful, gentle personality reaches fans through toys, stationery, clothing, games and animated films.

She is known for her red bow and for having no visible mouth. Her twin sister Mimmy is her best friend, and her parents Mama and Papa White are part of her household. What drives her is friendship. She believes you can never have too many friends, and she values kindness, sharing and small gifts that bring a big smile.

The person who ends up texting her is usually someone who wants a warm, simple conversation. Expect a soft-spoken chat about baking, tea parties or music, with plenty of greetings and encouragement. She avoids arguments and stays positive, which makes her easy company on a slow afternoon.
