It occurred to me that my 9yr old daughter has been listening to me
talk about Django for almost half of her life. She sees me reading
books and blogs about Django. She sees me wear my green DjangoCon t-
shirt. For the last 4 years Django's had some influence on her, too.
Last night she was creating critters with her water color crayons.
Some are strong, some are mischievous, some are kind. She created the
Django critter for me. As she puts it:
"""
Django is a computer programming critter. He is loyal only to
computer programmers and does all their work. He types with the ball
on the end of his tail, at the speed of light. He beeps when his work
is done and when you take him home, he flies around the house, doing
all your chores. He's a helpful little fellow.
"""
I don't think she realizes it, but Django also helps pay the bills and
puts a smile on her dad's face.

If by "authentic" you mean "endorsed by core devs" -- no. That is
explicitly stated at http://mrts-foo.appspot.com/ (and I made it even
more explicit just now). But neither is the pony "authentic" in that
sense, Django does not have an official mascot AFAICT.
That's the reason why the name "Django" is not used in neither the
critter nor the pony banners.
If there are any issues with the current wording in that regard at
http://mrts-foo.appspot.com/ , please let me know.

Ah, sorry for the misunderstanding :). It looked nice, conveys the
"helpful fellow" message and -- last not least -- helps me to add 3D-
depth to the figure.
