Slash is the official mascot of Docusaurus. You will find different variations of her throughout the website, whether she is moving fast on her scooter or writing documentation at her standing desk. At Facebook, we have actual Slash plushies -- and you never know, you may see these plushies at various events and conferences in the future.
The team sat in a conference room trying to come up with a name for the project. Dinosaurs became a theme, finally landing on Docusaurus, combining documentation with those many dinosaurs that end in "saurus". Of course, we needed a logo for our new project. Eric sat down and designed a logo that was quite beyond the norm of our normal open source project logos, but yet was just so awesome, we had to use it. We needed a name for this cute Docusaur. "Marky" for markdown? "Docky" for documentation? No, "Slash" for the normal way someone starts code documentation in many programming languages // or /* or ///. And Slash was born.

It took just over an hour and a half. I'm going to send you a PR with the addition so you can take a look and see if you like it. Your workflow for adding docs wouldn't be much different from editing those markdown files.”
— Note sent to the Profilo team
The Profilo engineers were happy to see that they didn't have to change their workflow to update existing content. They were able to continue working with Markdown files. This will still be true in the future if new docs are added, although there may be some config changes needed if the sidebar navigation needs to be updated.
The infrastructure provided by Docusaurus made it easy to convert Markdown files into a working website. Even though the project had only three docs, this gave Profilo a more professional look. So, it was well worth the short time investment to get it done.
