Provence is a Lupo sniper operator in Arknights, the tower defence game from Hypergryph first released in China in 2019 and globally in 2020. The character is widely known among players for her exceptionally fluffy tail, which is joked about in her dialogue and profile lore. Clips of her mofu mofu voice line were later shared on soundboards and in fan edits, where the phrase became shorthand for anything soft, cute, or comforting within the Arknights and wider anime gaming community online.
