!! ''Moonlight Berry'' provides examples of:
* TheCameo:
** [[VideoGame/SaltysSundayNight Salty and Itsumi]] can be seen inside the cafe in the background.
** The characters shown on [[https://fridaynightfunking.fandom.com/wiki/Blueberry?so=search&file=Blueberry_BG.png city displays]] are [[VideoGame/MidFightMasses Sarvente and Ruv]], [[VideoGame/VsCyrix Cyrix]], and [[VideoGame/KOUMod KOU]].
* {{Expy}}: Blueberry was created as a PaletteSwap of [[VideoGame/SaltysSundayNight Itsumi]], before [[CharacterizationMarchesOn developing characterization on her own]] and being remade into a distinct, but still noticeably similar character. The two are now canonically cousins.
* WingdingEyes: Blueberry's sunglasses display the note arrows she is singing, as well as blue hearts for her IdleAnimation.

[[folder:Draft]]
Adding file extensions to names that shouldn't have them has been the staple of AnalogHorror since the era of modern computing, and for a good reason: In systems like ''UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows'' these are normally hidden from the user's view, so when they suddenly appear you get that [[UncannyValley uncanny vibe]] that something seems not right.

In RealLife this can mean that the file has been tampered with[[note]]Since many low-end file converters append a new extension instead of replacing an existing one, and the previous gets pushed back to the actual name[[/note]] or that it is aberrant somehow[[note]]Because by default only extensions unrecognized by the system are directly shown[[/note]], and in fiction the context is just as much disturbing if not more.

The use of file extensions in character names has been popularized by ''VideoGame/SonicExe'' and [[FollowTheLeader the numerous knockoffs it spawned]], and it [[TropeMaker went downhill from there]], as these became a [[NamingConventions Naming Convention]] not just for {{Evil Knockoff}}s from {{Creepypasta}}, but any fake digital character.


!!Examples

[[AC:Video Games]]
* Several ''VideoGame/FridayNightFunkin'' GameMod characters [[BreakingTheFourthWall break the fourth wall]] by referring to the protagonist as Boyfriend.xml, which [[NightmareFuel comes off as unsettling]] since this is exactly how his character file is named and the fact they are fully aware of that means TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou.
* ''VideoGame/SaltysSundayNight'': Since the majority of the souls trapped in the LotusEaterMachine are kids, the entity who oversees it created several [[NonPlayerCharacter NPCs]] as a substitute for their parental figures to ensure a normal life in there. All of the simulants have names ending with .exe to denote they are fakes and not actual people.

[[AC:Web Original]]
* Adding a file extension to the character's name is a staple [[NamingConventions Naming Convention]] for {{Evil Knockoff}}s from {{creepypasta}}, as codified by how ''VideoGame/SonicExe'' does it. The extension used is either .exe or related to the media the character originates from, such as .avi for WesternAnimation characters.
