Who is Bunny?

In the early 1960s, amidst the optimism of the space age and the cultural boom of a changing world, a small toy company set out to create something extraordinary. They wanted to design a toy that was more than just fluff and fabric — something that could be a lifelong companion, offering warmth, charm, and a touch of magic. Thus, the pink bunny was born. Standing tall with upright ears, wearing a meticulously tailored tuxedo and a top hat, this bunny wasn’t just any toy; he was a symbol of love, hope, and resilience.

The pink bunny found his way to his first owner, a bright-eyed young woman named Katherine, when she was sixteen years old. He became her constant companion through those pivotal teenage years — offering her comfort and confidence as she navigated the complexities of growing up. His wind-up music box played a delicate rendition of "Rock-a-Bye Baby," and whenever Katherine turned the small key in his back, the soft melody seemed to make the world a little less chaotic. This is some text inside of a div block.
When Katherine was preparing to leave for college, her mother tucked Bunny into her luggage — a reminder of home and her childhood. He became a touchstone in those uncertain years, something that offered comfort during long study nights, heartbreaks, and the challenges of becoming an adult. Though the world around her shifted with the civil rights movement, the Vietnam War, and the tumultuous social revolutions of the 60s and 70s, the Bunny remained constant — his confident eyes always seeming to say, "This too shall pass."

Decades went by, and Bunny witnessed the evolving landscape of the United States — economic booms and busts, cultural shifts, and technological revolutions. He saw Katherine fall in love, build a career, and raise a family. Through all these years, he watched with quiet observation, his sharp eyes taking in the world around him, his knowing smirk never fading.
Katherine had always been a collector of sorts — not of rare artifacts or expensive trinkets, but of everyday objects that held deep, personal significance. She gathered postcards, handwritten letters, her child's first report cards, small souvenirs from family vacations, and even mundane items like old keys and ticket stubs. These were the objects that told the story of her life, and Bunny was always there, a witness to her growing collection.
In the digital age, Katherine decided to create a virtual museum — a space where her collection of everyday objects could be shared and cherished. And who better to manage this museum than her trusted companion? Bunny, now embracing a new chapter, took on the role of curator and guide for this virtual space.

In this digital museum, Bunny comes to life in an entirely new way. With his debonair charm intact, he dons a virtual version of his classic tuxedo and top hat, his sharp eyes animated with intelligence and wit. He leads visitors on immersive tours through Katherine’s extensive collection, offering stories behind each seemingly ordinary item. A worn postcard from a cross-country trip becomes a story of adventure and freedom, a child’s drawing becomes a symbol of creativity and innocence, and an old concert ticket evokes the vibrant music and culture of a different era.
