Moon "Solomonica" de Winter (born 3 June 1997) is a Dutch writer and online personality who writes exclusively in English. She is known for posting surreal comedy videos on social media.
Early life
Moon de Winter was born in Bloemendaal on 3 June 1997, the daughter of writers Jessica Durlacher and Leon de Winter.[1]
Career
De Winter wrote her first book, Over the Rainbow (2014), at the age of 16. It was also published in Dutch, French, and German.[2] Her second book was the dystopian sci-fi novel Natural Law (2022).
Throughout the 2020s, de Winter has become more widely known for her presence on Instagram and TikTok; having changed her hairstyle to vivid red pigtails styled after the Wendy's mascot, she began uploading surreal and slightly unsettling comedy videos in which she portrays herself as a self-described "sentient AI who likes to write and make art"[3] and "tactical carbon-based sentient Wendy's AI bot reporting live from the simulation".[4] Her videos are edited in an off-kilter manner and often feature her dressing as the Wendy's mascot, brandishing weapons such as a handgun or katana, wandering in the woods, speaking in an unnaturally soft tone of voice, joking about disparate topics ranging from tax evasion to the military-industrial complex, and ending by staring vacantly at the floor as her eye begins to twitch.[4] As of March 2025, she has over 243,000 followers on Instagram.[4]
