History WebAnimation / Vlievers

[[https://www.twitch.tv/vlievers Vlievers]] is an independent English-language VirtualYouTuber stable that began in early 2021. The group has no specific theme and sets out to do whatever they want to do, from gaming to art to music and audience participation. It's currently composed of five people:

One thing that stands out about the Vlievers is the gamut they run with respect to {{kayfabe}}. Some, such as Sofiya, keep their identities secret and separate from the character, as is common with vtubers, but others, like Len (who was already a game streamer to begin with), simply continue with their original identities with no separation, and Skyrah even regularly shows her real face in cosplay photos and hasn't ruled out livestreaming with her real face either. Galilea is also open about having rebooted her character, rather than graduating "Hana" and coming back pretending to be a new person.

** Sofiya later develops a second persona as well, who appears to be another one of her fragments, and uses her lower voice and red eyes for it. This persona didn't officially have a name, going through a few fan nicknames, before finally settling on "Ia." In March 2022, she introduced a third alt, IMMORTAL/Soapia, a ditzy vampire with an entirely separate character design.

* '''[[https://www.twitch.tv/galileagalaxy Galilea Ganymede]]''', an alien trying to understand humans. Openly rebranded from her initial persona of '''Fox Hana''', a ditzy [[LittleBitBeastly foxgirl]] who sometimes turns into an actual fox, but insists she's human.

* ThinkOfTheCensors: Hana hesitates to explain some of the less child-appropriate [[Literature/TheBible Bible stories]] on stream when the topic of [[RaisedCatholic being raised in the church]] comes up, for fear of Twitch censors taking offence. Skyrah proceeds to cheerily explain the story of Sodom and Gomorrah in the most roundabout way she can think of.

* BeautyMark: Kei has a heart-shaped one under one eye.

* '''[[https://www.twitch.tv/dmails Sachu]]''', an energetic and excitable dragon girl with a habit of [[HilarityEnsues accidentally causing problems]], especially in collab streams;

* GuestStarPartyMember: Aside from their regular collabs with [=LoboTheGhost=] and Len's collabs with her "siblings"[[labelnote:*]]In vtuber parlance, fellow vtubers with the same character designer[[/labelnote]] (which she continued after quitting the group), they will sometimes collab with other vtubers beyond these. As well, in late 2021, Hana started to invite her non-vtuber friends on stream with her on a regular basis, like she had in her pre-vtuber career.

* LittleBitBeastly: Hana is a foxgirl and Kei has bee traits. While Len has horns, she doesn't seem to be part animal and insists she's an ordinary human.

* ArtShift: Hana has replaced her model once and Sofiya's done it twice.
