Imoen first appeared in Baldur's Gate, the 1998 computer role playing game developed by BioWare, as the protagonist's childhood friend and a recruitable companion. Her bright voice lines, played when players selected or greeted her, became a memorable part of exploring the Sword Coast. Short clips like this greeting later circulated on soundboards and in fan videos, where Baldur's Gate players use them for nostalgia and newcomers use them as a generic cheerful hello. The line remains popular because it captures Imoen's friendly personality in just two words.
