3
4	Bao the Whale, more commonly shortened to just Bao, is a Vietnamese-American whale girl [[VirtualYouTuber VTuber]].
5
6	She is a [[LordOfTheOcean whale goddess born from seafoam]] and is apparently the [[LastOfHisKind last of her kind]]. Throughout her long life, she had already explored every single nook and cranny in the Earth's oceans, and she became increasingly isolated and yearned for someone to listen to her voice once again.
7
8	She is infamous for [[LovableSexManiac having the hots]] [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom for all things ''wolf men'']], as well as being the [[MemeticLoser residential class clown.]]
9
10	You can find her Twitch channel [[https://www.twitch.tv/baoo here]], and her official [=YouTube=] channel [[https://www.youtube.com/@baovtuber featured here]], and you can also follow her on [[https://twitter.com/baovtuber?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor Twitter]].
11
12	Do '''NOT''' confuse Bao the Whale with the Pixar short ''WesternAnimation/{{Bao}}''.
13	----
14	!!Tropes applying to Bao herself:
15	* ACupAngst: While not to the same level as Yuzu and despite always stating that "medium is premium" whenever the topic of breast size comes up, she sure gets incredibly ''envious'' of the more well-endowed [=VTubers=], as can be seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WCRnO7GNf4 here.]]
16	** During the stream where she had Twitch chat roast her before she went to Japan someone joked that Giri would have an extra cutting board invoking a response...
17	--->"C-CUP BY THE WAY!!! '''''C-CUP BY THE WAY!!!!!'''''"
18	* AscendedFangirl: Bao's perverse sexual lust for Blaidd is responsible for the now ''infamous'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PE6wLtf7Y_0 [=YouTube=] video of Blaidd's VA, Scott Arthur, refusing to read one of the tweets]]. However, he eventually relented and gave Bao a tweet, re-enacting her thirsty tweet in Blaidd's voice. Bao's reaction to this was...well...[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5lv79B2mA4 we will leave it to your imagination]]... And don't even get us started on [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tX-bZjCqtD4 her reaction to an animation of the previous incident]].
19	* BeautifulSingingVoice: Bao is a pretty good singer, all things considered.
20	* BerserkButton: She is very unfond of being called a pillow princess.
21	* BestialityIsDepraved: Bao saw screenshots of [[WebVideo/SanagiYuzu Yuzu]] impersonating her and claiming she likes wolves and dogs. With that, Bao immediately steps in to clarify that she is into ''anthropomorphic'' wolves and dogs and draws the line at bestiality.
22	* BigWhat: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mg3OwlLVa-g Bao was a clip of Yuzu showing her mother, Mamagi]], some [=VTubers=] and asking her which ones she would smash or pass. She says one after Mamagi candidly states that her first relationship was with a girl, and she has another, shriller one after Mamagi not only decided to smash Lord Aethelstan, but also, upon learning that Nyanners is his girlfriend, suggested [[AThreesomeIsHot that he bring her along]].
23	* BrainBleach: Not Bao herself, but her friends and colleagues reacted with horror [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlT8GZw5tcA with regards to Bao's inflation art]]. If anything, Bao is often the cause of brain bleach.
24	* BreakoutCharacter: Bao is one of the more prominent indie [=VTubers=], with her MemeticLoser and sex fiend reputation becoming an online hit in the [=VTuber=] sphere.
25	* ButtMonkey: Bao is often the center of some ''absolutely embarrassing takes''. Like...holy ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htxt_vcpgI8 shit]]''.
26	* CantHoldHerLiquor: Bao has proven that she can't hold her liquor at all, reverting to a [[{{Manchild}} 5-year-old as a consequence.]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDjZPYtEaQY It has to be seen to be believed.]]
27	* CasualKink: Bao is very open about her depravities. In addition to having the hots for anthropomorphic wolves and dogs, she enjoys getting zapped by the shock collar, likes the feeling of helplessness that goes with sleep paralysis, and has openly embraced the "Baoberry" inflation fanart, to the point of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0m6QqW0jVQ scarring Vienna with her California Girls-inspired Baoberry song]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kv_dGTXaPE the rest of the Bottom Queens with her Baoberry cosplay.]]
28	* CharacterCatchphrase: "ARF! ARF! ARF! ARF! ARF!" She tends to devolve to barking whenever she comes across an anthropomorphic canine she finds hot.
29	* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Bao at her debut was very painfully shy and (more or less) wholesome. As time went on, Bao shed her wholesomeness and eventually became the wolfman-lusting maniac we all know. [[https://youtu.be/6uQ01G9D_tU?si=36rhnYztyD-9VHby The contrast is effectively]] like night and day.
30	* CoolAunt: She definitely thinks she is when she [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-uboeMvtBw brought her niece and nephew along.]]
31	* CringeComedy: Bao's most comedic moments typically tend to be embarrassing or cringe-inducing, from her takes to chat harassing her for laughs to her cry-whinging on her destroyed dignity.
32	* CuteButPsycho: Bao resembles a cute anime whale girl with an equally cutesy high-pitch voice, but the things that come out of her mouth are messed up, and her lust for wolfmen goes borderline {{Yandere}}.
33	* CuteMonsterGirl: Bao is an anthropomorphic whale goddess. Her design is cute. [[AllWomenAreLustful Her personality on the other hand]]...
34	* DudeWheresMyRespect: Bao constantly complains about her ruined dignity and reputation, which is self-inflicted.
35	* ElectricInstantGratification: Numi placed a shock collar on Bao during a spin-the-wheel challenge. Bao went from being terrified to oddly enjoying it.
36	* EmbarrassingNickname: She dislikes being called the "Pillow Princess", which largely owes to her reputation as part of the Bottom Queens. On the other hand, she outright approves "Blueberry Bao" (A nickname for her infamous inflation fetish art).
37	* TheEmpath: She has the ability to connect with her audience on an emotional level, provide comfort and support, and empathize with their experiences.
38	* EpicFail: Whenever something messes Bao up, it is always an accident on her part.
39	* EveryoneHasStandards:
40	** Bao [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=bQjGK5mSbtY draws the line at bestiality]], clarifying that she likes ''anthropomorphic'' wolves and dogs after seeing Yuzu impersonate her.
41	** Bao was hesitant to show the Baoberry fanart when Henya raided her and only did so because [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor the HEN隊 persistently asked her to]].
42	* ExtremeOmnisexual: Bao's an utter horndog, having the hots for anthropomorphic wolves and dogs like Blaidd, men like Ghost and Konig...
43	* FanCommunityNickname: Her fanbase is sometimes called the "Baobuddies".
44	* FunWithForeignLanguages: As a Vietnamese-American, Bao can speak in fluent Vietnamese (as well as Japanese) and is known to have entire Vietnamese-based streams.
45	* FunSize: Bao is relatively short, at around 152 centimeters tall. While not 'dwarf-sized' like WebVideo/{{Shylily}}, she ''is'' on the shorter end of the scale for the Bottom Queens. At ''least'' Bao is considered 'average' size for Vietnamese women.
46	* GenkiGirl: She has an energetic and lively personality, as well as enthusiasm for her hobbies and content creation.
47	* GorgeousPeriodDress: Bao's florist model has a dark blue modernist dress with a 1910s Art Nouveau design and floral designs over a long transparent skirt. She carries a handbag with even ''more'' flowers inside while her hair is tied in a neat braid. She would almost be a ProperLady, but of course, this is ''Bao'' we are talking about.
48	* GirlPosse: Bao is sometimes part of what some may unofficially call the "Big Six" Indie [=VTubers=] (They are called that as they are the most famous Indie Vtubers with pretty large fanbases of their own). With the other five being [[WebVideo/AkumaNihmune Numi]], WebVideo/{{Shylily}}, WebVideo/JuniperActias, [[WebVideo/SanagiYuzu Yuzu]] and WebVideo/{{Trickywi}}, and are often the ones Bao most likely collab with. Collectively, the "Big Six" is best known by their nickname as the [[MischiefForPunishment "Bottom Queens"]] due to their...shared behaviour...
49	* HatesBeingTouched: She dislikes being referred to as a pillow princess and will react strongly when people refer to her as such.
50	* HiddenDepths: Bao's proficiency in instruments, knowledge of animation and motion graphics, and her love for the film "5 Centimetres Per Second".
51	* {{Irony}}: She did a mini-series with fellow Bottom Queen Juniper Actias called ''Cringe Cops'', where they read the most embarrassing stories from their chat. The irony given Bao's [[MemeticLoser reputation]] is not lost here.
52	* KinkyRolePlaying: There is a reason why Bao is called the ''Pillow Princess''.
53	* KinkySpanking: There was one time when Numi spanked Bao during a spin-the-wheel challenge.
54	* LastOfHerKind: To Bao's knowledge, she is the last remaining whale goddess.
55	* LingerieScene: Bao's entire 2.0 model is this trope on speed dial.
56	* LittleBitBeastly: As a Whale goddess, Bao's hair resembles blubber, and she has a whale's tail.
57	* LovableSexManiac: As part of the [[GirlPosse 'Bottom Queens']], this is to be expected. Bao has been pretty open on her perversions, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMSibMhK3tM but she is best known for her absolute ''hard-on'']] for [[Characters/EldenRingSecondaryCharacters wolfmen like Blaidd from Elden Ring]] and [[Characters/PussInBootsTheWolf Lobo from Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.]] Even Projekt Melody, herself a shameless pervert, thinks that ''Bao'' is a bigger pervert.
58	* LordOfTheOcean: According to the lore, she is a whale goddess born from seafoam and, to her knowledge, the LastOfHerKind.
59	* MeaningfulName: Her name "Bao" is Vietnamese for both "storm" and "bun".
60	* MediumBlending: Bao has occasionally made real-life videos and regular livestreams in addition to [=VTubing=]. Interestingly, she seems to be much more restrained when making real-life content.
61	* TheNapoleon: Despite being the second shortest Bottom Queen, Bao is every bit as aggressive and upfront whenever something bad happens to her friends. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TX5nk6j5qBc As Numi attests.]]
62	* NightmareFetishist: Whether it is a shitpost or genuine, the things that Bao thinks of are utterly deranged, especially when she has quickly accepted the Baoberry fanart. Her fetishes can even make ''Numi'', the wall-kissing, 20-sex-toys-possessing extraordinaire, the StraightMan of the Bottom Queens by comparison.
63	* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: She is a whale goddess born from foam.
64	* PerverseSexualLust: Bao is known to lust over wolfmen, with her tweet about her desire to have Blaidd's puppies being one particularly infamous instance. Here is the entire tweet as written:
65	-->"I WANT BLAIDD TO BREED ME I WANT HIS PUPPIES PLEASE I WANT THE LEASH I WANT THE COLLAR I'M DROOLING WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF BARK BARK BARK"
66	* PrettyInMink: Her 2.0 model spots a large, thick white fur jacket.
67	* PromotedFangirl: She usually watches ''WebVideo/{{Max0r}}'s'' videos on her stream. At some point, she manages to play with Max and is featured in Max's ''VideoGame/HelldiversII'' video as the "mentally ill girl" screaming.
68	* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Her 2.0 model has a Yandere mode and adopts this color scheme, with her white hair and tail, black outfit, and the red glowing symbols on her hair.
69	* RedOniBlueOni: Especially when her sister, Nemosis, is involved, Bao is the lively, up-forward red to her blue.
70	* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Her mascot, Pestonini, a dog-whale hybrid.
71	* SadistShow: Frequently does "Punishment Wheel" challenges. She also set up a "roasting stream", where she herself was the victim, and [[GoneHorriblyRight her audience did exactly as the rules said... to extreme degrees]].
72	* SignatureLaugh: Bao has a very shrill, staccato laugh.
73	* SitcomArchNemesis: Of the Bottom Queens, Bao humorously has a very combative relationship with Numi as they try to roast one another.
74	* SoloDuet: When watching her debut stream, specifically the part when she sings "52 Hearts", Bao sings along with her past self.
75	* {{Stripperiffic}}: Given her horniness, it was bound to happen for her 2.0 model debut as she wears nothing more than white lingerie with even bigger boobs.
76	* {{Squee}}: Her reaction when Scott Arthur finally read her infamous tweet in Blaidd's voice.
77	-->'''"Blaidd:"''' ''[after reading Bao's tweet]'' Hm. Well... what can I say, Bao? Umm... ''[smiles]'' I'm ready when you are.\
78	''[Bao shrieks with joy while falling off her chair.]''
79	* ToiletHumour: Bao is a source of this. Her own sister exposed her for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuSC9pJ6j8w laughing at her own farts.]] And of the Bottom Queens Numi constantly accused Bao of constantly "breaking her toilet", and Bao herself admitted to Juniper that she is a "Bitch that Shits". She once ''destroyed'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfsmT08S-3U Giri's toilet to Chernobyl levels]].
80	* TooKinkyToTorture: Bao used to be afraid of sleep paralysis demons, but she hit puberty and came to like this feeling of helplessness.
81	* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: Mentions how she used to get scared of sleep paralysis demons until she hit puberty and realized she likes "that feeling". [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LkNdIkkkXI She suspects she ended up creeping out her paralysis demons since she did not experienced any of them since puberty.]]
82	* {{Tsundere}}: She's shown some aversion towards Michael Reeves and her dislikes, such as apartment sink water and cold showers.
83	* WaterIsWomanly: Bao has blue accents, and she is a whale-like creature and deity.
84	* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Bao's 2.0 model comes with a Yandere mode and suggests this, given that her blubber hair turns white and that she has gone mad after watching Blaidd pass by her and kiss Renna's hand instead.
85	* VitriolicBestBuds: Despite the combative nature of the Bottom Queens, Bao is close to Numi, as well as Shylily, Juniper, Yuzu, and Trickywi. Outside the Bottom Queens, she frequently works with WebVideo/OniGiri, Vienna, and Shoto.
86	* {{Yandere}}: Bao already spots characteristics of this, given the stuff she spews and how obsessive she is to wolfmen and military commandos. Her 2.0 model goes full throttle with a Yandere mode, establishing that she snapped after being invited to the royal ball by Blaidd, only to see him pass by her and kiss Renna's hand.

92	Bao's IRL younger sister.
93	----
94	* BrainBleach: Nemosis definitely does not appreciate her sister's....''vast'' collection of [[https://youtu.be/zd1Zi6PHF6A?t=146 horny fanart on Twitter.]]
95	* GirlishPigtails: Has these, in addition to lighter hair, to differentiate from Bao. Ironically, she's quite a tomboy.
96	* PleaseIWillDoAnything: Bao will occasionally threaten Nemosis if she doesn't do what she wants by withholding her Christmas presents or any sort of gifts she planned.
97	* RedOniBlueOni: Is the blue to her sister's red, being more laid back.
98	* SignatureLaugh: Like her sister, she has a staccato laugh but a much deeper tone.
99	* TomboyishVoice: Her voice is noticeably much ''deeper'' than her older sister's.
100	* TrueBlueFemininity: Subverted. Like her sister, Nemosis has blue hair (albeit a lighter shade), although she is more tomboyish in terms of personality.
101	* VocalDissonance: She occasionally comes on stream, but you wouldn't know she is the younger one given her ''very'' deep voice.
