| 26 | [[folder:5th generation as a whole]] |
| 27 | ->Note: Due to Aloe's unfortunate early graduation, most of the following tropes will ''not'' apply to her. |
| 28 | ---- |
| 29 | * CastHerd: Similar to Gen 3, they are TrueCompanions that frequently collab within their generation; all four of them are likely to be featured together in hololive cross-promotions such as the collabs with Family Mart and Xbox Game Pass. |
| 30 | * GirlsWithMustaches: For Christmas 2021, all four members of [=NePoLaBo=] got white mustaches and beards for their models in reference to Santa Claus. |
| 31 | * InSeriesNickname: They originally went with [="HoloFive"=], as a nod to their status as the five members of fifth generation, but the nickname didn't see a lot of use after Aloe's graduation; instead, their preferred nickname now is [=NePoLaBo=], from the first syllable of each of their names. |
| 32 | * ShipTease: Surprisingly, a majority of this generation has similar love interests. |
| 33 | ** All the other members of Gen 5 want to ship themselves with Lamy and occasionally make violent remarks to one another. Unfortunately for Lamy, this is an UnwantedHarem as she prefers to be with Botan. |
| 34 | ** All the members (sans Botan) are absolutely infatuated with Ninomae Ina'nis from the English branch. Ina is always accompanied by a member of Gen 5 whenever she is on the JP ''Minecraft'' server and each tour is littered with [[invoked]]HoYay bread crumbs. |
| 35 | * TrueCompanions: All four of them had a small discussion stream expressing their grief shortly after Aloe's graduation, showing how close they are to one another; they've also gone to Disney Sea together as a group too. |
| 36 | * WorldOfBuxom: By coincidence, all five of them (including Aloe) are rather busty. Even Polka, who is the least endowed, is busty in her own right. |

| 57 | ---- |
| 58 | * AffectionateNickname: She is sometimes called "Liver Face" by Korone. |
| 59 | * TheAlcoholic: |
| 60 | ** She ''loves'' alcohol. She occasionally has alcohol on stream and has been gifted hundreds of liters of alcohol from fans. [[https://youtu.be/bYEwYeqFcWk She considers the difficulty of moving all the bottles]] against ''having better internet for streaming'' [[SkewedPriorities in her decision to move into the holohouse]] with Coco and company. |
| 61 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tB591rWm_x4 There's also the time Gen 5 went to DisneySea]], an amusement park where visitors can freely drink alcohol, when they had a lunch break and Nene saved the group a table, Lamy came back with food and two drinks. Nene assumed she was going to share one with her, but [[IllTakeTwoBeersToo Lamy said both were for her.]] |
| 62 | ** This trait actually shows up in the Hologra episode ''"Polar Bear vs. Noble Girl"'' where she literally stashed her sake bottles all over the office, up to and including hiding one in one of Ayame’s katana sheaths. |
| 63 | * ApologizesALot: When [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rva4Y9QfL2A her chat floods her with Superchat messages]], she can't help but apologize every time she gets flooded with them. It got to the point that she politely asks her chat to ''not'' send her money. |
| 64 | * AscendedFangirl: She went from an Ichimi happy to hear her superchats read out loud to trading skinship with Marine and smacking her oshi's butt in Noel's soundproof room. |
| 65 | * BerserkButton: |
| 66 | ** Even the easy-going Lamy has one: not liking her beloved sake. |
| 67 | ** Denying her alcohol is also this, given she loves to drink. |
| 68 | * BloodKnight: Yes, believe it or not, Lamy is ''competent'' at killing. |
| 69 | ** During the 2020 ''Minecraft'' Sports Festival, she and Watame begins to dominate the other team by ''actively killing them''. Never mind that they have to gather the necessary items instead of trying to kill everyone who isn't on their team. |
| 70 | ** When adventuring solo in the Nether, her reaction to Blazes and Wither Skeletons is to rush straight at them and [[CurbstompBattle beat them all to death one after another]], calmly retreating from larger groups to heal and split up the mobs so they don't overwhelm her. Even Ghasts don't seem to do more than garner annoyance from her; on one occasion, she was eagerly trying to find one to test out the power of a newly-created bow enchanted with Infinity. |
| 71 | ** When it comes to horror games, she fares better in games where she can fight back. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8rSZcGCT20 Her reaction to the lycan window scare]] in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage'' was to immediately open fire even while screaming. |
| 72 | * BewareTheQuietOnes: While Lamy is normally timid and scared silent during horror collabs with Botan, [[https://youtu.be/j1GbS4TbHM8?t=400 one particularly nasty scare]] in {{VideoGame/Visage}} has Lamy decide that she's had enough. |
| 73 | --> '''Lamy:''' I ''HATE'' THIS GAME! |
| 74 | * BornLucky: In her ''VideoGame/UmaMusume'' stream, she has one of the greatest luck after pulling ''nine times'' with special characters that would make Suisei and Fubuki, [[TheGamblingAddict who are both notorious gacha addicts]], green with envy. |
| 75 | * CallingYourAttacks: She does this when [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxEkC7pMN4U asked]] what her Noble Phantasm would be if she were a ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' character. She even puts an [[PowerEchoes echo filter]] over her voice when she does it. |
| 76 | --> '''Lamy:''' [[GratuitousEnglish Smile of the Lamy!]] |
| 77 | * CantHoldHisLiquor: She enjoys drinking, but her alcohol tolerance isn't very high. |
| 78 | * CatchPhrase: |
| 79 | ** Lamy is known for frequently using ''"Yamena!"'' (やめなー) where others would use ''"Yamete!"'' (やめて) to order someone to stop. |
| 80 | ** She has "My face is a liver!" as an introduction in reference to her drinking, thanks to Korone. |
| 81 | * CatGirl: Her 2021 New Years outfit allows her to grow a pair of cat ears and tail. |
| 82 | * CuteLittleFangs: She, like Nene and Botan, has small fangs that can occasionally be seen. |
| 83 | * ComedicSociopathy: |
| 84 | ** [[AxeCrazy Unlike several of her senpais]], Lamy is surprisingly a rare ''innocent'' version of this. She once asked her chat [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTLwC2uJR6c what would they think if she made a book cover out of their skin]]. When she played ''VideoGame/AmongUs'' along with the rest of G5 and [=HoloENG=], she was a bit kill-happy until she gets caught. |
| 85 | ** The innocent version ends up being subverted [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uqbx76LKsVk when she participated in the ore item hunt]] during the 2020 ''Minecraft'' Sports Festival where both her and Watame's BloodKnight tendencies begins to slip in. She then ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibwFf5W8S7Q&feature=youtu.be&t=18084 participated in killing a traveling merchant]]'' along with Suisei and Matsuri while he dared showed up while Miko was explaining the track course. Looks like Suisei's kill-happy shenanigans might have rubbed off of her. |
| 86 | * CovertPervert: Normally falls on the pure side of hololive, but there are a few things she gets particularly raunchy about: |
| 87 | ** She gets ''very'' excited at the idea of receiving milk from Noel. |
| 88 | ** She's commented that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sWXMyY9Hss she finds Marine to have a very smackable rear end.]] |
| 89 | * DeathGlare: In the Hologra episode ''"Polar Bear vs. Noble Girl"'', she gives one to Flare after stating her intention to do a drinking stream. She was not happy when Flare forbids her from doing so. |
| 90 | * DinnerBathOrSexOffer: Subverted with the last one: While drunk, she asks her chat with dinner or bath. And then her chat decides to give out ten options: Bath, dinner, stream, watch TV, eat together, get changed, evening drink, having their ears cleaned, go to work again. Then chat decided to be weird by suggesting throwing red Super Chats, go to a convenience store, going to a grocery store, and eat outside. People noticed how smart she was being to not suggest the last option of the meme. |
| 91 | * DoNotCallMeSir: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ow83cb_6Kg8 Her attitude]] to being referred to as "senpai" by holoEN. Being as the latter branch debut roughly a month after Gen 5, Lamy understandably doesn't think of herself as a senpai due to still being new to hololive. In fact, she feels that the holoEN girls are her senpais due to their incredible talent. |
| 92 | * DoubleEntendre: Her ''VideoGame/StoryOfSeasons'' streams gave birth to plenty of sexually charged jokes due to naming her cows "Noel" and "Flare", who went on to have calf that she named "Lamy". The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKMdFpaOdbw Officer Oozora stream]] highlighted just how far they can go. |
| 93 | -->'''Subaru:''' Is it true you were making a profit with Noel's teats? |
| 94 | * FailedASpotCheck: Prior to her VideoGame/HomeSweetHome collab with Lamy, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLGEWvbp0EY Botan had a chatting stream]] where she debates doing a rehearsal playthrough so she can anticipate the scares and enjoy Lamy's reactions to them. Come the collab stream, the [[InterfaceSpoiler "Continue Game" option]] (written in Japanese) is available in the start menu before they started playing. Lamy didn't notice this. |
| 95 | * FanGirl: Revealed in September 2021 that she's a long-time Ichimi. |
| 96 | * TheFashionista: When meeting with any of the other idols IRL, she is always described as being very stylishly dressed. |
| 97 | * {{Flanderization}}: Her love for alcohol. She likes a good cup or two, and will occasionally drink during streams. Then there's the time when she bought herself [[IllTakeTwoBeersToo two alcoholic beverages at DisneySea]] with her food order. But in Hologra (where episodes featuring her are produced after the aforementioned events), her character revolves entirely around alcohol: |
| 98 | ** In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lz08zMLUtEc "Polar Bear vs. Noble Girl"]]'', her debut episode in Hologra, has the plot kickstarted by Lamy's intention to drink regardless of Flare's opposition, only to have her alcohol stash taken away by Daifuku in the end. |
| 99 | ** In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VopFRgAJo_I "I Refuse to Lose to You"]]'', the punishment game she puts on herself for losing Old Maid with Noel, Watame, and Subaru, is "No booze for a month". |
| 100 | * FunnyBackgroundEvent: During "horror dates" streams, Lamy will position her avatar to appear like she is leaning on or hiding behind Botan, especially when she is frightened. She'll also occasionally look up at Botan for reassurance. [[note]]That implies she looks away from the monitor every time she does this but fans think [[RuleOfCute it looks incredibly cute regardless]].[[/note]] |
| 101 | * HalfHumanHybrid: Like Flare, Lamy is part-human, part-elf. |
| 102 | --> '''[[https://youtu.be/q0CNvUZe3ys?t=449 Lamy]]:''' Lamy is a half-elf born to an elven father and a human mother. |
| 103 | * HasAType: |
| 104 | ** According to Choco's psychological test, Lamy's type is a carefree and intellectual type. To the surprise of ''[[EveryoneCanSeeIt no one]]'', Botan actually fits that description. |
| 105 | ** When asked what kind of character she likes in the manga, she states she likes male characters with [[SuperStrength overwhelming strength]]. This doesn't mean she likes characters that can one-shot his opponents, but characters who can face a villain for their power balance. |
| 106 | * HiddenDepths: She enjoys anime such as ''VisualNovel/SteinsGate'', Anime/{{Charlotte}}, and ''Anime/LoveLive''. |
| 107 | * IAmTheNoun: [[https://youtu.be/_wqSFIZW3Xc I am the law!]] |
| 108 | * IdiotHair: Has a long, heart-shaped one. |
| 109 | * IncorruptiblePurePureness: Her rather innocent personality is perceived this way by her chat. This actually works in her favor as in her meme review with Coco, she so far is the only one who refuses to say the word "motherfucker". For context, even ''Tokino Sora'' senpai supreme of all ''hololive'' has said it. |
| 110 | * InnocentFanserviceGirl: |
| 111 | ** In a literal way. She actually used a HotterAndSexier fanart of herself in her Craftopia stream, to the surprise of many. It is still tame compared to others, but the sudden use was a surprise to her chat. |
| 112 | ** She sometimes does some rather suggestive things, seemingly completely unaware of their context. Her distress in ''VideoGame/FallGuys'' is expressed by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLpXdFSbaOM questionable vocalizations]], and there was a moment where she repeatedly [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJ_ku2xKra4 smacked two fish sausages together]] for no apparent reason. |
| 113 | ** During her 3D debut, she innocently went along with Nene's not so innocent requests. |
| 114 | * {{Irony}}: She is a Snow Elf who dislikes the cold, and an alcoholic who CantHoldHerLiquor. |
| 115 | * MrImagination: A recurring thing is that Lamy really likes to make up stories. Give her a reason to think of a setting (like Marine's "which members would you like to have as family?" question or discussing her potential role in Alternative) and she'll promptly think up entire fanfics on the spot. |
| 116 | * MundaneMadeAwesome: To her bemusement, she is genuinely surprised when her chat ''enjoyed the sound of her eating and drinking'', both her English ''and Japanese'' viewers. As she was hungry at the time, she muted her mic as so she doesn't come off as rude. |
| 117 | * NiceGirl: |
| 118 | ** She is unabashedly a sweet girl, even in moments where she should be frustrated, such as losing in multiplayer games. When the girls play ''Craftopia'' together, Lamy scolds the other girls for harassing an NPC quest giver, and her frustration is there but doesn't raise her tone. |
| 119 | ** During a ''Minecraft'' stream, despite only wanting to protect her senpai and getting killed by Pekora herself in return, when she respawned and [[https://youtu.be/gDYcm35IN_E?t=62 learned what Pekora was doing at the time]], not only did she holds nothing against her, but her first reaction was to repeatedly say "I'm sorry" while promptly making her way back to apologize. |
| 120 | ** She does make exceptions to the rule. When asked what would she do if she were to actually be married, she states she'll let her partner do what they want, but if they cheat on her, she will only answer them with her fist i.e punching them. |
| 121 | ** She once spoke with Korone, where her senpai had thought that Lamy would be something of an aloof rich girl but was happy to learn that she's unpretentious and easy to get along with. |
| 122 | * NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: During a ''{{VideoGame/Minecraft}}'' stream, she once saw what appears to be [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jFi7IEbBWo Pekora being chased by a zombie villager and attempted to help her by slaying it]]. Unfortunately, Pekora was trying to keep this particular zombie ''alive'' so in a rush to defend it, Pekora kills Lamy. That said, Pekora was willing to give Lamy her entire inventory as an apology, which Lamy repeatedly refused to accept, until finally taking a few pieces of iron as Lamy blamed herself for misunderstanding. |
| 123 | * NotSoAboveItAll: Even the cute and innocent Lamy isn't above killing on ''Minecraft'', and she's deadly as well. She's still the OnlySaneMan of her Generation, but she will use acts of violence which is perfectly showcased [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uqbx76LKsVk&ab_channel=NoisesVtuber here]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibwFf5W8S7Q&feature=youtu.be&t=18084 here]]. |
| 124 | * OldShame: Lamy sounded and behaved ''very'' differently in her early streams, having put on a cutesy ''seiso'' act at the time before [[CharacterizationMarchesOn gradually morphing into the Lamy we know today.]] Present-day Lamy finds it incredibly cringeworthy and her genmates and viewers [[NeverLiveItDown tease her over it at every opportunity.]] |
| 125 | * OnlySaneMan: Her own generation is as quirky as some of Generation 4 and GAMERS. This is best shown in ''Craftopia'' whereupon meeting a quest giver, Polka immediately suggests killing her, and Lamy scolds the other three girls for being so violent to a friendly NPC. |
| 126 | * TheOjou: Lamy revealed in a stream that her IRL family is actually quite well-off. Her father owns and runs his own company, her mother is in the medical industry, and her brother is a traveling lawyer. This was only alluded to obliquely before, and it really highlights the differences in her and Botan's background and upbringing. |
| 127 | * OurElvesAreDifferent: She's a Snow Half-Elf noble. |
| 128 | * PointyEars: As part of being an elf, although they aren't as pointy as Flare. |
| 129 | * ShipTease: With Botan. |
| 130 | ** When they play together, Botan often teases her with horror games just to get a good reaction out of her. Their personalities meshes well with their TeamMom[=/=]TeamDad dynamic, which is perfectly shown during G5's ''Craftopia'' stream, she scolds the girls for being violent towards an NPC quest giver like a scorned mom while Botan enabled their behavior like a loose dad letting their children do what they want. |
| 131 | ** Both of them also took Choco's personality test. All Choco did was describe the personality of the one that will make them the happiest and both of them came to the conclusion that the other person fits Choco's description. |
| 132 | * SilkHidingSteel: |
| 133 | ** Lamy might be considered one of the more soft-spoken talents, but she's quite strong-willed and is willing to put her foot down when the situation calls for it. [[https://youtu.be/v_n5RICObFI?t=96 The other members of 5th gen]] agree that she's like the kind of princess that can take care of herself. |
| 134 | ** She's no slouch physically, either. She idly talks about [[https://youtu.be/ZtsFCN7TD_s trying to train up to match Kanata's legendary 50 kg grip strength]], and during the 2021 Sports Festival, [[https://youtu.be/c2Wfuk67mq8 she reveals she's up to 40 kg]], already putting her on par with Noel. Kanata wishes Lamy had told her as much earlier as they could've bonded over it. |
| 135 | * SingingVoiceDissonance: During her first year, Lamy was fairly self-conscious about her singing voice, usually preferring the nasal pitch she normally uses when talking. Over time, however, she gained enough confidence to sing with a sultry contralto pitch. |
| 136 | * SmarterThanTheyLook: When she starts ''VideoGame/RingFitAdventure'', she actually hid her personal information from viewers while imputing them with an illustration. For context, Rushia had a FreakOut when her chat was able to figure out her age and weight, which send her off in a panic [[note]]Her chat sees her type in 20 years old and her weight being 43 kg[[/note]], and Haato trying to hide her personal info by enlarging herself. |
| 137 | * SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Her being an alcoholic. In some cases, she'll pop a cold one during a stream. When both she and Botan decided to watch the ''Beyond the Stage'' concert together, she actually did open a can just as the stream started. |
| 138 | * TeamMom: |
| 139 | ** Plays this dynamic to the rest of the 5th Generation. It's most noticeable when she offers her support to the nervous Nene during her debut stream. |
| 140 | ** According to Sora, Lamy was like this to her when they were rehearsing for Suntory Nomu's mini-live. |
| 141 | * TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The girly girl to Botan's tomboy, especially evident in their horror game streams. |
| 142 | * UnwantedHarem: Some of the other idols, including all of Gen 5 and Matsuri, wants to be with Lamy. However, she only wants to pair herself with Botan. |
| 143 | * YokoOhNo: Not at the receiving end, but not as drastic as Kanata's reaction. She is a fan of Yui "Gakki" Aragami, and like Kanata, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wixPisizUEk was shocked that she was getting married to Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu co-star Gen Hoshino]]. Unlike Kanata, Lamy did had an initial shock, but took it well. Which contrasts Kanata's BerserkerTears while letting out her frustration over the announcement. |

| 178 | -->-- ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7P5oggg7aSE Nenenenenenenene! Daibakusou]]'' |
| 179 | |
| 180 | ---- |
| 181 | * AliensSpeakingEnglish: According to Nene, she is an alien from planet [=TaoTao=] who came to Earth to meet new people, so she communicates using Earth languages like Japanese, English, and Spanish instead of her home planet's language. |
| 182 | * AnimalMotifs: Officially, her new outfit has many bear trappings, particularly with the optional ears and paw mittens. Unofficially, fans have mostly ignored it in favor of comparing her to seals[[note]]Bears and seals ''are'' [[TruthInTelevision in fact related to each other]], but this doesn't make it less funny.[[/note]]. Nene herself likes both motifs and uses them interchangeably, though she seems to be more in favor of the latter, and her official onesie outfit is seal-themed. |
| 183 | * AnimeChineseGirl: She was originally conceived as one; she used to have the stereotypical "aru" VerbalTic, and her previous profile entry specifically notes her as wearing a Chinese dress and liking gyoza. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMLjEUYLSy0 No longer the case as of her redesign]], though her twin bun hairstyle is still a holdover from that concept. |
| 184 | * ArtEvolution: Downplayed. Nene's new idol/bear inspired look mostly leaves Nene's physical traits intact, with the exception of noticeably more detailed hair. |
| 185 | * ArtShift: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_oaGycOCzg In a 3D collab with Sora, Suisei, Matsuri, and Kanata]], Nene is a cardboard cutout of her avatar for the whole stream. |
| 186 | * ArentYouGoingToRavishMe: A bit of a sore spot for Nene herself, as despite her attempts at being "sexy", her fans and fellow idols insist on viewing her as a wholesome lovable dork with barely any sex appeal. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaRVVgfLx_g She is quite desperate in this regard, too, and is most jealous of Lamy who usually gets all of the lewd attention in her generation.]] Ironicially, some of her outfit choices act against this goal. |
| 187 | * BadBoss: PlayedForLaughs with the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNrQcCjmnz0 company rules]] of [=NenePro=], with a daily wage of 300 yen (roughly about $3), no paid holidays, employees being forbidden to resign as the building ''has no exit'', and staff members are fed with dog food. |
| 188 | * BerserkButton: After finding out what it meant, requesting the husband number of [[LOL69 69]] results in a comical angery from her. |
| 189 | * BookDumb: She took Choco's test, and only had ''three points'' out of 15 questions. |
| 190 | * BreakoutCharacter: Nene's popularity has led her to have quite a significant impact outside Hololive and has been featured in a number of different media. |
| 191 | ** In June 2021, Nene formed an idol subunit with Subaru and Aqua, called NEGI☆U, with [[https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2021-06-13/hololive-idols-aqua-subaru-nene-sing-the-great-jahy-will-not-be-defeated-anime-ending/.173899 their first single "Tsumari wa Itsumo Kujikenai!"]] being the ending theme for ''Manga/TheGreatJahyWillNotBeDefeated''. |
| 192 | ** In October 2021, Nene ended up being featured in the Japan's Weekly Playboy under "Next generation of Beautiful Women". |
| 193 | ** Nene would [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pXQecUhZWE make her debut as an anime voice actor]] where she was featured in ''Literature/TheWorldsFinestAssassin'', voicing a character named Kelly. With her role actually credited as "Momosuzu Nene" in the end credits. |
| 194 | * ButtMonkey: Frequently the target of bullying and teasing, but according to Polka, she actually enjoys it. |
| 195 | * CasualKink: |
| 196 | ** She's more than once suggested other idols hit her, including idols from other branches. |
| 197 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCAsXaDyTFY She's openly admitted she likes men literally looking down at her and being degraded by men, as well as men with really big shoes. Much to the shock of Suisei, Kanata and Matsuri.]] |
| 198 | * CleavageWindow: One such "[=MomoPai=]" is included as part of her redesign. As Nene's "Mama" [[https://youtu.be/jgc3YmaHzOg notes in one stream]], due to the two holes in her outfit, one could fit [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything an arm or something of similar size below to pop out the top]]. |
| 199 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: She displays shades of this in talking streams or off-collabs. |
| 200 | ** As detailed in {{Fangirl}} below, American kidcoms are one of her favorite shows, the real kicker is that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OBj8YzOJY8 Nene told Kiara]] that she thinks they are ''tear-jerking, adult-oriented, western dramas''. |
| 201 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rkwg2utVgU When responding to the memetic question of "Do you like pineapple on pizza?"]], Nene gives a straightforward "No. I only like gorgonzola cheese pizza", before correcting herself and saying she likes ''honey cheese pizza''. |
| 202 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCAsXaDyTFY During an off-collab with Kanata, Matsuri, and Suisei over pizza]], Matsuri starts the topic of "What do guys do that make your heart flutter?" In other words, a light fetish. Nene starts the discussion with a hypothetical situation of a guy physically looking down on her. Everyone was visibly confused and asked if Nene was an 'M' only for her to reply that ''[[CasualKink being degraded feels great]]''. It gets crazier when Nene continued, saying she wants guys to click their tongues at her, much to the disgust of everyone. She finishes the list off by saying that she also likes men with ''really big shoes'' and she cites [[{{Manga/Gintama}} Gintoki]] and ''Creator/WaltDisney'' (yes, ''that'' Walt Disney) as the ideal men who embody her fetishes. |
| 203 | ** She considers body hair removal and getting a driver's license as equal conversation topics. |
| 204 | * ColorMotif: Orange, befitting a GenkiGirl such as herself. All of her outfits to date have lots of orange, to the point where she'll sometimes introduce herself as "the orange representative, Momosuzu Nene". This is also referenced in the title of her sub-group with the similarly-colored Kiara, "O'Riends" (portmanteau of "orange" and "friends"). |
| 205 | * CoolAndUnusualPunishment: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQ1AfrHpST4 Polka asks Nene to pull for her]] in a gacha game until they get the target SSR and she becomes increasingly distressed as Polka spends more and more money on in-game currency. |
| 206 | --> '''Nene:''' Why? I thought a game is supposed to be something to enjoy. Why do I have to feel painful? [[SuddenlyShouting WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO PURCHASE MORE!?]] |
| 207 | * CorruptCorporateExecutive: PlayedForLaughs. |
| 208 | ** She initially offered her viewers 4 trillion yen daily to work at her company, but it turns out [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vP-rO8A2ztY the payment is only 300 yen]]. |
| 209 | ** Furthermore there are no exits in [=NenePro=], something she makes clear in her ''VideoGame/GoodJob'' playthrough by sealing off the exit of the in-game company and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neqiJ9r4T5A emphasizing that nobody can leave]]. |
| 210 | ** After Polka tweeted that Nene ran a black company, she [[https://twitter.com/momosuzunene/status/1307716181734744064 tweeted]] back her intent to take over Polka's circus. |
| 211 | * CostumeEvolution: She received a new, permanent outfit on January 31st, 2021. This outfit is effectively a new avatar that replaces her original Chinese-inspired design, unlike the older outfits of Fubuki or Subaru, which those two can freely switch back to at any time; and more like [[Characters/HololiveSuiseiChannel Suisei's]] new and permanent main outfit to go with her redesign. |
| 212 | * CuteButCacophonic: Her frustrated cries are something to behold. For example, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxdTvDwrUy8 she once died too many times in quick succession]] in ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosU'', resulting in a long-winded wail that can only be described as an ambulance siren. |
| 213 | * CuteLittleFangs: Has one on her teeth, but only visible in closeups. |
| 214 | * {{Determinator}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdBqEmiAu5s&t=1s Her application was rejected]] ''three times'' before she finally made the cut. |
| 215 | * DirtyOldMan: Nene is quite desirous of drinking the sweat from Lamy's armpits, in the same vein of Watame. Aside from this, her reaction to rolling a given Idoly Pride character [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMV4-faYHww is ''something'' else.]] |
| 216 | * ADogNamedDog: According to [[https://youtu.be/fJ7ueGLuXk8?t=833 her debut stream]] and her previous official description on the hololive website, on her home planet, [=TaoTao=], people called her "Taoling". |
| 217 | * DoesNotLikeSpam: She really hates vegetables, having boasted of not eating any since around 2019. When doing a punishment game in her July 2 ''New Super Mario Bros U'' stream (with the punishment being forcing herself to eat a cherry tomato for every death), [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUFU-itVmXg she nearly threw up after eating the fifth cherry tomato]]. Oh, and she also hates avocadoes. She had to take another punishment game in a ''Minecraft'' Hardcore Mode stream (where for every time she dies she has to eat an avocado), and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpB8wK2OWK0 threw up almost immediately after being close to swallowing it]]. |
| 218 | * {{Fangirl}}: For American KidCom shows such as ''Series/ICarly'', ''{{Series/Victorious}}'', and ''Series/HannahMontana''. ''iCarly'' in particular is what introduced her to the world of online streaming and would lead to her career as a Vtuber. When it was revealed in December 2020 that the series would be receiving a revival, [[https://twitter.com/momosuzunene/status/1337014756796813314 Nene gave an ecstatic congratulatory tweet]]. |
| 219 | * GenkiGirl: One of the most cheerful and energetic members of Gen 5, Nene always has tons of fun on her streams, whether it be playing games or interacting with chat and her many "husbands". Other members have stated that she and Haachama are the only two Hololive members who never drop their energy levels like the rest do. |
| 220 | * GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: Nene is the model of a cute idol in most ways, but her hobbies and attitude towards some topics have led to jokes about how she can sometimes really feel like you're watching a ten-year-old boy. Her fascination with beetle catching and bugs in general is often portrayed as a very stereotypical "little boy" trait in japanese culture. |
| 221 | * GratuitousEnglish: Her attempts to reach out to her overseas fans shows she doesn't have the greatest grasp on the language, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCDcDc41h4U once mixing up "goodness" for "goddess"]]. |
| 222 | * GratuitousForeignLanguage: Nene is notable for being the only member of Hololive to regularly attempt to reach her Spanish-speaking audience. While other members have made one or two attempts to speak a few words in Spanish, Nene thanks her Spanish-speaking fans in their language on a frequent basis. She, as of 2022, has taken to trying to respond in more languages. |
| 223 | * HaremSeeker: She has a husband collection comprised of her viewers. |
| 224 | * HiddenBuxom: The bulk of her outfits downplay her nicely sizable chest by various levels, an unusual thing given her off-stream shamelessness and on-stream desire to be seen as sexy. |
| 225 | * HiddenDepths: She enjoyed playing ''VideoGame/KouchuuOujaMushiking'' so much that she wanted to recreate the experience in real life. As a result, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQ1rjTrJ3Hs she's very passionate and knowledgeable about catching and breeding different species of beetles]], and even [[https://twitter.com/_nenechidayo has a second Twitter account]] mainly to show off photos of her exploits. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H62LybbV7cQ She even carries spare batteries in her bag]] so she can use a headlight when searching for beetles in the forest. |
| 226 | * HolyHalo: She got one as an accessory during October 2021. Unlike Kanata and [=IRyS=], it is a more traditional-looking golden ring halo above her head. |
| 227 | * HomeNudist: Nene doesn't seem to wear proper clothes at home, even when she's not in the shower, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmGVcsyICQc according to Lamy who paid her a visit]]. |
| 228 | * HumanAliens: Her homeland is [[https://youtu.be/fJ7ueGLuXk8?t=833 another planet called TaoTao]] yet she looks like an ordinary human. |
| 229 | --> '''Nene:''' Nene's hometown is [=TaoTao=] Village on the planet [=TaoTao=], where Nene was born and was called "Taoling". |
| 230 | * IdolSinger: Her dream is to become one and have one of her original songs being used as the opening for an anime. |
| 231 | * InnocentSwearing: While reading off her superchats after a ''VideoGame/RhythmHeaven'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0QN3JCHWbw&t=12017s playthrough]], Nene mishears the text-to-speech translation of "far cuter" and mistakes it for "[[PrecisionFStrike FAQ you]]", only realizing its true meaning after being told by her chat. |
| 232 | * TheKlutz: [[CuteClumsyGirl Part of Nene's charm is her clumsiness]], both in her gaming streams and on the technical side (her stream titles usually contain typos, for one). When playing games like ''Minecraft'', she would often die from falling or flubbing the use of elytras and such, much to the amusement of her streammates. |
| 233 | * LeeroyJenkins: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mrr2hs6Wk64&ab In the girls' Craftopia collaboration]], she bum-rushed towards the boss when the other girls warned that it's a berserker. What happens next is Nene alone getting absolutely destroyed by the boss due to buggy AI and despite it dying on everyone else's screen while the other girls tease her. |
| 234 | * LegFocus: Nene seems to be aware of the attention her legs get, which may be why she did [[https://youtu.be/L0bLaUFrEyk?t=35 a supermodel walk]] entirely unrelated to her [[ParlorGames king game]] dare in one [=3D=] stream. |
| 235 | * MarryThemAll: Her approach to any marriage proposals made by her fans. Whereas someone like Fubuki or Pekora would decline, Nene accepts these proposals wholeheartedly and adds them to her "husband collection". She doesn't take kindly to the idea of one of her husbands trying to "divorce" her, either. |
| 236 | * MundaneMadeAwesome: Nene does this for Superchat Readings. There's a reason why the talents tend to say goodbye in the middle of the stream before superchat readings or have streams dedicated to just reading them: they're often the least exciting stream compared to anything else the talents could be doing. While other talents such as Watame, Calliope, and Reine spice it up by playing games and using instruments, Nene takes it a step further by spawning her crude drawings based on the message of the superchat, perpetuating her ever-growing husband collection, and even cloning herself at viewers' request. By the time the stream is nearly over, Nene's screen is absolutely filled with chaotic imagery from how she approaches superchat readings. |
| 237 | * NeverGetsDrunk: According to Lamy, Nene drinks with her often and matches her pace, knocking back alcohol from sun down to sun up, but she has never seen the latter get drunk or suffer from a hangover. |
| 238 | * NinjaPirateZombieRobot: When [[https://twitter.com/momosuzunene/status/1450674228097798153 a viewer asked Nene the question]] of whether she's an alien or a person from a different dimension, she answers with something that combines 8 different things together. |
| 239 | --> '''Nene:''' I'm a different dimensional genius-slash-alien-slash-human-slash-animal-slash-creature-slash-talent ''[seal emote]'' |
| 240 | * OfCorsetsSexy: Her redesign primarily features a frilly dress with a matching corset. |
| 241 | * PungeonMaster: Not to the same level as Ina, but she's slowly learning thanks to the former. |
| 242 | * PutOnABus: Because of her CostumeEvolution detailed above, she is the only active member of Gen 5 that didn't participate in the ''bloom'' concert in 2021, since a 3D model of her new outfit wasn't ready in time. |
| 243 | * {{Polyamory}}: A RunningGag is for her to gleefully accept all marriage proposals from her fans but also remind them of all the other husbands she has, adding them to her "husband collection", as opposed to Pekora or Fubuki who plainly turn down suitors. |
| 244 | * {{Retcon}}: Alongside her permanent outfit change, her old backstory was changed to remove any Chinese elements from it. |
| 245 | * SadClown: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFakr0uZ5vg She's been explicitly diagnosed with depression]] despite her outward GenkiGirl status. Unlike many others, however, she's open about her diagnosis and has stated she won't be pushing herself past her limits. |
| 246 | * SdrawkcabName: Downplayed; While not entirely reversed, Lamy accidentally wrote Nene's family name as "Suzumomo" during her debut stream. This was carried over to Nene's own debut stream, much to her confusion. Played straight with her "ENENMI" nickname, which came from her trying to put the phrase "I'M NENE" on a building in ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' and accidentally facing the wring way while doing so. |
| 247 | * ShamelessFanserviceGirl: If the rest of Gen 5 are to be believed, Nene is surprisingly open about her body. As a HomeNudist, she was completely unfazed by being seen running around the house naked by a visiting Lamy, and in one case where she was trying on some new underwear in Hololive's changing room, she called Botan and Polka over to see her body before she got dressed. Her only reaction to Polka pulling down her bra was to lament that her breasts were not in the best shape to be seen at the time due to goosebumps from the cold. If anything, Nene even seems to be rather proud of her assets and would like them to be seen. |
| 248 | * StrangeMindsThinkAlike: Presumably how Nene got along so well with her "mama" Nishizawa. A cursory glance at Nishizawa's [=YouTube=] channel gives away immediately how much of a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} she is, with her brand of random and off-key humor sometimes giving even Nene a run for her money. |
| 249 | * StylisticSuck: While Nene is actually a capable artist herself, she admits she’s absolutely terrible at making thumbnails. And then there's all those props she uses during her streams: where most of the other girls tend to either use stock pictures from [[https://www.irasutoya.com/ Irasutoya]] or pre-made items, if Nene needs something she'll draw it on the spot. And she uses a ''lot'' of props, so her screen often ends up covered in goofy, colorful doodles that only reinforce her image as the adorable dork of the crew. |
| 250 | * ToAbsentFriends: While all the members of the 5th generation cared about Aloe and spoke on her departure, Nene has the distinction of honoring her memory the most in whatever way she can. She has refused to change her Twitter banner because it has Aloe in it [[note]]Her Twitter banner was updated for her redesign, but still includes five hearts to represent each of the five fifth gen members, Aloe being magenta[[/note]], vowed to learn how to sing ''Happy Synthesizer'' because of her, and created a Jack-O-Lantern for her on the Hololive JP Minecraft server. In any situation where Nene wants do/make something for all of Gen 5, she'll insist on doing/making it for ''five'' members, not four. |
| 251 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Gyoza. To drive the point home, it's even her official emote. |
| 252 | * TryToFitThatOnABusinessCard: Her username in ''VideoGame/ApexLegends'' is Supernenechi. After catching on with her viewers, she exaggerated the descriptors, referring to herself as "Super Hyper Ultra Ultimate Deluxe Perfect Amazing [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Shining God 東方不敗]] Master [[Series/UltramanGinga Ginga Victory]] Strong Cute Beautiful Galaxy Baby 無限 無敵 無双 Nenechi." |
| 253 | * UltimateLifeForm: When [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcA_mD9pQTM a viewer asked whether she is a bear or a seal]], she claims that she is actually a "perfect being consists of all living beings", and that she can be anything she wants to be. She later alluded to this again, as seen in [[https://twitter.com/momosuzunene/status/1450674228097798153 this tweet]]. And indeed, this explains her TryToFitThatOnABusinessCard SuperMode-esque titles. |
| 254 | --> '''Nene:''' Nene is a perfect being that incorporates all living things. |
| 255 | * UnfortunateNames: As [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibavikEpwmE one superchat]] noted, one interpetation of her name in Chinese is "rubbing and sucking on boobs". Nene herself finds it both embarrassing and amusing, flip-flopping between calling her name "the best" and jokingly telling her chat she's gonna tattle on Zawa-mama (her illustrator). |
| 256 | * VerbalTic: She used to end her sentences with the stereotypical "aru" tic commonly used by Chinese characters in anime, and she pointed to Kagura of ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'' as her inspiration for using it. However, she has long since stopped using it as she had to make a conscious effort to remember using it as opposed to applying it naturally like how Pekora does her tic. |
| 257 | * {{Womanchild}}: Doesn't like vegetables, adores American kidcoms, and her visual props tend to be very crude and childlike. Other hololive members view her more as a child than an adult or even a teenager. |
| 258 | * {{Yandere}}: Downplayed. She's as cheerful and kind as they come, but she has a strict policy when it comes to being a member of her channel; mainly, that once you're one of her "husbands", you can never leave. |
| 259 | --> '''Pinned Chat Message:''' You are Nene husband forever! |
| 260 | * YouAreNumberSix: Per [=NenePro=]'s company policy, its employees are referred to by their numerical ID instead of their given names. |

| 282 | ---- |
| 283 | * TheAce: |
| 284 | ** Known for her gaming proficiency such as: |
| 285 | *** Reaching Master Rank in ''VideoGame/ApexLegends'' which is within the top 0.12-0.30% of players and the highest ranked in hololive. |
| 286 | *** Carrying the rest of the team, no matter who she's with, in ''VideoGame/Left4Dead2''. |
| 287 | *** Being a very competent detective and Impostor in ''VideoGame/AmongUs'' which often gets her targeted. |
| 288 | *** Going on a killing spree during the 2020 Minecraft Sports Festival's 3 vs 3 [[PlayerVersusPlayer PvP]] event. |
| 289 | *** Even in less intensive multiplayer collaborations where she prefers to goof around, she tends to dominate. In Gen 5's ''Super Bomberman R Online'' collab, she handily won in every single round, in team matches or free-for-alls. This was even when she trolled whoever was on her side with a bit of team-killing in the former, and when the others tried to prioritize her as a target in the latter. |
| 290 | ** She's also known for her technical expertise in helping the rest of 5th Gen with tech issues and going over computer parts with them and her viewers. |
| 291 | * ActionBomb: The [[https://twitter.com/shishirobotan/status/1385854446974869507?s=20 SSRB]] are adorable lion-bombs that respawn in 5 seconds. |
| 292 | * AffectionateNickname: Quite a few members, most notably Polka and Lamy, have taken to calling her "Shishiron". |
| 293 | * AWolfInSheepsClothing: This is literally her theme in the 5th Gen "Animal hoodie pyjama" outfit sets. Botan's hoodie is a sheep that happens to be based upon Watame's [[AudienceSurrogate "Watamate" fan]] mascot design. |
| 294 | * AllAmazonsWantHercules: She seems to have [[https://youtu.be/xzNydzY9D3Q quite the fondness]] for the grizzled Captain Price in her playthrough of ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyModernWarfareII'' |
| 295 | * TheAllegedCar: The shopping cart in ''{{VideoGame/Trials}} Rising'' is her go-to vehicle. It's a JokeCharacter choice as it's unable to handle some of the trickier jumps in a game designed for dirt bikes. It’s even referenced in a few [=HoloGra=] episodes (most notably “The Need for Speed”, where she tries to [[ItMakesSenseInContext woo Kanata with it]]; and "Holo Drift", where she turns it into a taxi service and summons [[DrivingStick a full manual transmission setup]] from [[{{Hammerspace}} out of nowhere]]) and her Twitter banner. |
| 296 | * AmusingInjuries: She ''loves'' this trope. Any game that involves physical competition or accidental injuries is ''guaranteed'' to send her into laughing fits. Such as sledding and, '''especially''' in ''Trials Rising'' where she starts busting out laughing at the injuries her characters sustain, and in ''VideoGame/FarCry5'' where her partner Hurk survives a grenade toss from her and the helicopter she was riding in inexplicably lands on top of him. |
| 297 | * AnimalGenderBender: Her hair resembles the mane of a '''male''' lion[[note]]female lions have them too, but theirs are shorter than their male counterparts[[/note]], though this is understandable from a design perspective as without the mane, it would be pretty difficult to [[LittleBitBeastly visually signify what animal she is supposed to be]] without going [[BeastMan full furry]]. Her spy outfit straightens out her hair so that it less resembles a mane, while her casual outfit goes the complete opposite direction and makes it insanely disheveled and fluffy. |
| 298 | * AnimalMotifs: Lions, and cats in general. |
| 299 | * AwesomeByAnalysis: Her intelligence rivals Suisei's in ''Among Us'' collaborations, and shows she can figure out the circumstances behind someone's death and who was with them last. This benefits the Crewmates when they get the most wins because of her, and it doesn't take until someone figures out she's too smart to live. |
| 300 | * BadassBoast: Delivers a hilariously blunt one during a 2022 ''VideoGame/AmongUs'' collab: |
| 301 | -->'''Botan:''' Hi, Shishiro Botan from hololive 5th Generation here! Just wanted to let you guys know that [[RefugeInAudacity I'm the Imposter]] and I'm gonna kill you all. |
| 302 | * BadassInANiceSuit: Her 3rd 2D outfit is a more feminine version of this, bringing to mind a covert operative or hitman (complete with additional NightVisionGoggles). |
| 303 | * BloodyHandprint: The background for her chatting streams inexplicably has one on the screen door to her backyard. |
| 304 | * BulletproofHumanShield: She uses YAGOO as a shield in her 3D debut despite her objective to save him. He proves remarkably sturdy though so it's not as callous as it seems. |
| 305 | * ButtMonkey: She's the one who endures the most consistent suffering in Watame's weekly ''[[WebAnimation/WatameDidBorderlineNothingWrong Girigiri Warukunai Watame]]'' shorts, down to being the [[https://youtu.be/c3DcpEy3xd8 first member]] Watame ever tormented in the series. |
| 306 | * CallingYourAttacks: When she plays ''VideoGame/ModernWarfare'', she will occasionally call out a soft "Poi!" before throwing a grenade. Similarly, she'll sometimes say "Pon!" when firing a grenade launcher. |
| 307 | * CarnivoreConfusion: While often brought up within Hololive, Botan is often the one to be involved when the topic of being a intimidating carnivore frequently interacting with anthromorphic herbivores or what would be considered prey animals. In fact, it's shown that Botan infrequently can end up eating Watame, and has a few holografiti shorts where she has eaten or attempted to eat her fellow idols. |
| 308 | * CasualKink: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rU0HGiWglOw During her and Okayu's first collab]], Botan admitted she'd rather be dominated than do the dominating. |
| 309 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "La-Lion~!" which she opens off streams and superchat readings with. Its origins stem from the lyrics of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6qvAZhXB70 improv song Nene made for Botan]] after their debut. |
| 310 | * CombatMedic: She's an absolute beast in any gaming competition and, for Halloween 2021, got a nurse's cap and armband as accessories for her avatar. It is also her preferred loadout in games that allow them, such as in the ''VideoGame/{{Battlefield}}'' series. |
| 311 | * CompetitionFreak: {{Subverted|Trope}}. While her gaming background is clear to see, she is very relaxed when streaming and often laughs her losses off with a smile. |
| 312 | * CoolBigSis: When she took part in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJdasAH0PpI&feature=youtu.be Miko's "best moms" competition]], she exuded enough supportive coolness that [[LovableSexManiac Marine]] wanted Botan to train her to overcome her libido, even if it meant enduring a [[HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood comically Spartan version of tough love]]. |
| 313 | * CovertPervert: Downplayed. Botan isn't known for fan service or playing up her sexuality but she does provide some [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_aWTiy8-pQ rather provocative shots]] of her model after her 3D debut. |
| 314 | * TheCutie: According to Subaru, Botan is one in the vein of Luna whenever the lion meets any of the holomembers in person. |
| 315 | * DatePeepers: A platonic date, but she kept spying on Pekora and Moona during their first voice collab together. |
| 316 | * DeadpanSnarker: Her rather deadpan causal deliveries are often in this tone when she streams. |
| 317 | * ADogNamedDog: Her family name, "Shishiro," uses the kanji for and is translated as "white lion," which is exactly what she is. |
| 318 | * DontCallMeSir: When a superchat referred to hololive EN as her "kouhai", Botan replied that she doesn't really feel that way since she only debuted one month earlier than them, and says that she'd prefer they treat her as an equal rather than giving her any special deference. |
| 319 | * TheDreaded: Like Suisei and Korone, everyone is scared of Botan but unlike those two it's only when it comes to competive games. Botan is easily one of the most skilled players in Hololive. This makes her one of the most feared people for the others to go up against in competitive games, particularly Among Us or any kind of FPS. |
| 320 | ** Expect the most common strategy everyone falls back on to be essentially dog piling her in the hopes of overwhelming her with sheer numbers. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2790h6Jc0tU Also expect this to be followed by the sound of gleeful laughter as she happily ploughs through the lot of them.]] |
| 321 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZkn3hTEtcE Pekora and Miko are keenly aware]] that if Botan was to join the ''VideoGame/{{RUST}}'' chaos midway through 2022, she'd be a top level threat who curbstomps holomembers left and right. Botan, for herself, hesitates to join the ''RUST'' craze since [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K18Aa9pqLvg her prior experience with the game]] was being a typical {{griefer}}, thus making it hard for her to gauge when the shenanigans stop being funny. |
| 322 | * FaceOfAThug: |
| 323 | ** Downplayed. She's not scary looking but she has one of the most intimidating static portraits of the Japanese branch aside from Flare. However when she's streaming and the avatar is in motion, Botan is nothing but smiles and giggles. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvEEAQw9gyA Her birthday stream draws the perfect comparison]]. |
| 324 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJT_k4N-1Ig One of the memes Coco reviews with Botan]] lampshades this, comparing her stoic-looking first official render with an equally stoic-looking actual white lion. The second pair of images compares a laughing Botan with a little white kitten sitting in a tiny shopping cart (a nod to her ''VideoGame/{{Trials}}'' ''Rising'' playthrough, where her favorite "vehicle" is an AmusingInjuries-inducing shopping cart). |
| 325 | --->'''Coco''': (Regarding first impressions) You have an older woman's charm that's different from a mom's. I got that sisterly vibe from you. \ |
| 326 | '''Botan''': It turns out, I was a person who laughed a lot. (Proceeds to do just that) |
| 327 | ** This trope basically starts the plot of her debut [=HoloGra=] episode “Grown-Ups on Tricycles”, as she inadvertently scares Towa off by posing with a model gun while she was waiting for the glue to dry and subsequently tries to find and apologise to her before being confronted by a [[ItMakesSenseInContext tricycle-riding Luna in sunglasses]]. |
| 328 | * TheGadfly: She ''loves'' teasing Lamy at her expense with horror games. She clearly enjoys herself when Lamy gets frightened and is hardly fazed by the scares herself. |
| 329 | * GamerChick: |
| 330 | ** Built her PC with four monitors, and when she starts ''VideoGame/FallGuys'', she immediately checks her graphics and control setting despite the game being in English. In fact, she also buys upgrades for her PC and posts them on her Twitter. This is particularly impressive given that [[https://www.pcgamer.com/how-japan-learned-to-love-pc-gaming-again/2/ Japan's PC gaming market hasn't exactly been flourishing]]. |
| 331 | ** When [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8HH0Oc7308 asked]] if she prefers the Xbox or [=PlayStation=] brand, she said she personally liked the Platform/Xbox360. She prefaced her opinion with "Ignoring the demand for it", at least acknowledging the console's [[invoked]][[AmericansHateTingle awful reception]] in Japan. Given Japan's treatment of the 360 as "the shooter console" and Botan's fondness for the genre, it would make sense that she liked the 360 more than the Platform/PlayStation3. |
| 332 | ** She's also incredibly skilled at [[FirstPersonShooter FPS]] games such as ''VideoGame/RainbowSixSiege'' and ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'' and even got sponsored to preview the multiplayer of ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOpsColdWar'' before release. When she talked about [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ET1pG_FRBlE games that she enjoyed]], most of them are FPS titles. |
| 333 | * HasAType: She took Choco's psychological test, and her results from her is that she wants to be protected or at least be comforted by a mother. She is not thoroughly convinced with the test result and just convinces herself that Lamy is hers (which to say, isn't that far from the truth). |
| 334 | * HiddenDepths: She loves PC games and built her own PC. She also made her own introduction video for her debut. |
| 335 | * HoldingBothSidesOfTheConversation: PlayedForLaughs. In both of her ''VideoGame/HouseFlipper'' streams, Botan's construction office holds a large portrait of Lamy which [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nYzvJR1XP0 "greets" her at the start and end of the stream]]. |
| 336 | -->'''Botan (as Lamy):''' Shishiron! There's only three weeks left! You're going to be okay, right? \ |
| 337 | '''Botan:''' Everything will be alright! Just leave it to me! Nothing is impossible for Shishiro! |
| 338 | * TheHyena: |
| 339 | ** Not quite to Mio's extent, but Botan is also very quick to laugh. As above, AmusingInjuries seem to bring it out the most, as seen in her playthroughs of ''Trials Rising'' and ''Steep'', both of which bring out non-stop laughter from her. |
| 340 | ** [[WreakingHavok Jank physics]] also gives her the giggles, especially when things go flying at the slightest touch, as she found out during her ''VideoGame/TotallyAccurateBattleSimulator'' and ''Totally Accurate Battlegrounds'' playthroughs. Generally speaking, any game with overly-excited ragdoll physics is sure to send her into an uncontrollable laughing fit at least once. |
| 341 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63TbbU2Utds Subaru's constant screaming]] brings out the most coughing fits she ever had while playing ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOpsColdWar'''s ''[[VideoGame/CallOfDutyZombies Zombies]]'' mode where along side Choco and Luna, she constantly screams at everything to the point that everyone involved could not stop laughing. |
| 342 | ** Every time she collabs with Lamy on a horror game, she'll be belly laughing for all the jump scares in reaction to Lamy's horrified reactions. Doubly so if Lamy tries to snark through her fear or otherwise attempt to downplay it, like in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7x39sIMHf0 their collab]] on the ''WebAnimation/HololiveERROR'' demo. |
| 343 | * HypocriticalHeartwarming: She bullies Polka a lot, but plays [[PapaWolf Mama Lion]] if someone else does the same; during one ''Minecraft'' session when [=Gen5=] had the impression that Aqua was pranking Polka, Botan's immediate response was to grab a Diamond Sword and march off to have a "chat" with her sempai. |
| 344 | * ImprobableAimingSkills: Comes with the territory of being one of Hololive's best FPS players. In one particular incident, when challenged by Sakura Miko in Minecraft to try to shoot her while atop a distant tower, not only did Botan [[https://youtu.be/hJzyQMeu2xQ make the shot]], she did so while just checking if her arrows would reach. And it was a headshot no less. |
| 345 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: During a ''VideoGame/{{Mordhau}}'' stream, Botan [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OjwPXTL7CY had a go at using a Lute to bonk people over the head with]]. Being a JokeWeapon, it did little to help her score kills, but she stuck with it anyway because [[ItAmusedMe it was funny to goof around with]]. |
| 346 | * JackOfAllTrades: Not to the degree of Amelia Watson's variety of stream content, but she plays the widest variety of game genres in her generation. Along with her usual FPS streams, she's played action-adventure, racing, horror, simulation, puzzle, open-world, and real-time strategy games for at least one stream to try them out. |
| 347 | * LagCancel: In her ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage'' stream, she teaches chat on [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVSISTyQ4Ms how to shoot the magnum]] faster than it should by disengaging ADS (aiming down sight) before ADS'ing again. |
| 348 | * LastNameBasis: The rest of 5th Gen call her Shishiron. |
| 349 | * LegFocus: Her 2021 New Years' outfit reveal has her revealing the outfit shoes first and panning up to her head. Unlike Gen 4 and the rest of Gen 5 who also revealed their New Years' outfits in the same time frame, Botan's new outfit leaves her legs completely bare. She spends a good part of the tease on just her legs alone because she is so tall. |
| 350 | * LittleBitBeastly: She's a white lion with the ears and tail to match. |
| 351 | * MoralityPet: Lamy appears to be hers as whenever the girls play together, she always assists her when she needs it. While she isn't above teasing her, she does go out of her way to save Lamy if possible compared to Polka and Nene whom she treats as CannonFodder. |
| 352 | * {{Motifs}}: Solid black with one white stripe on the left and three on the right. As seen on Botan's default outfit, the pattern is also on her chair in the background of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MruR8r1STFg her 500k karaoke stream]] and on the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMYv5BnfxDA sniper of the Botanx statue in Minecraft]]. |
| 353 | * NervesOfSteel: |
| 354 | ** Don't let her thumbnails with horror games fool you. Botan is rarely frightened by horror games, as she has SeenItAll, and she teases Lamy for flipping her shit whenever Botan does even mundane things. She [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-a2dKijrBw explained]] in one of her ''Minecraft'' streams that {{Surprisingly Creepy Moment}}s in non-horror games (like ''Minecraft''[='=]s [[ActionBomb Creepers]]) manage to scare her more than scares in horror games, where the player already knows there's going to be scares in advance. |
| 355 | ** This is ''very'' noticeable in her playthrough of ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage Biohazard Village]]'', with two instances standing out: |
| 356 | *** At the window JumpScare where one gets the combination for a nearby locker, she neither screams nor flinches at the sudden appearance of a lycan. [[https://youtu.be/Q9GZ9PEZhJc?t=197 Her only reaction right at that moment]] was to move her crosshairs a few pixels to the left and deliver a headshot. |
| 357 | *** When she was in Donna Beneviento's house where she encounters [[spoiler:the infamous baby monster]], she doesn't raise her voice nor is she suddenly startled by it, only recognizing that [[NoGearLevel she is defenseless, and needed to run]]. |
| 358 | ** NintendoHard frustration machines like ''VideoGame/JumpKing'' do nothing to ruffle her feathers. Every other hololiver that plays it will eventually lose their cool as they lose progress and irritation mounts. Botan keeps her chill and giggles throughout all her attempts, start to finish. |
| 359 | ** Botan is nigh-impossible to embarrass. Every attempt with dares or penalty games has her performing them with gusto and having fun as she does, usually to the disappointment of her peers who have never been able to get her on the backfoot. |
| 360 | * NightVisionGoggles: Her casual/spy outfit gives her a pair of night vision goggles instead of the usual glasses. Amusingly, [[https://youtu.be/MGn9wuwD3lU?t=176 she thinks they make her look suspicious]] (especially with the outfit she paired the goggles with), and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GDf49ggDB0 Polka and Nene]] think the [=NVGs=] make her look freaky. |
| 361 | * NotSoStoic: |
| 362 | ** After months of being seen as emotionally unflappable, she bursts into tears during her last collab with Coco Kiryu, voicing regret that she didn't reach out to her more. |
| 363 | ** During the Crazy Raccoon ''VideoGame/StreetFighter6'' tournament at the 2023 Tokyo Game Show, she broke down in tears after she lost her match in one of their sets, in part due to feeling that she let her team down even though she tried her best. This was immediately [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QM78-SDr9Ps followed by more waterworks]] after her teammate, pro player Dogura, won his match giving their team the set. |
| 364 | ** On a lighter note, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnuI1XF1T-Y while fleeing from the Sturm]], Botan gets startled upon running into an unexpected Hauler and reflexively shoots it down. This makes it one of the rare instances when a scare in a ''horror game'' manages to get her. |
| 365 | * OneManArmy: It is recognized that she is this among Holomems in a competitive FPS environment. More than once she has entered into a match against several Holomems at once and she proceeded to slaughter them all - ''multiple times'' - without dying once. It is because of this that several members openly dread the possibility she joins the Hololive RUST server, because they all know she’d be the undisputed top dog and there wouldn’t be a thing they could do about it. |
| 366 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: |
| 367 | ** During the ''VideoGame/AmongUs'' collab between the 5th Gen and EN members, Polka (correctly) gets Botan ejected from the station, on the sole basis that she sounds cuter than usual and that is clearly suspicious. |
| 368 | ** It's typically very hard to get under Botan's skin. However, Botan shows [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lN7hPqbFKIE a brief moment of despondence]] when saying goodbye to Coco during their last ''ARK: Survival Evolved'' collab together, shortly before the latter's graduation. Keep in mind, this is the same Botan who had to take the reigns and stoically lead her own generation through Aloe's graduation shortly after their debut. |
| 369 | * ThePollyanna: Aside from living in a rough neighborhood, she has stated that her father accidentally backed into her with a car twice, almost crushing her against a garage wall, as well as running over her foot (with no lasting damage). She has also mentioned, when asked about her family that a good part of her family is deceased; the person asking the question also inadvertently had reminded her that she needed to visit their grave soon to pay respects. |
| 370 | * PunnyName: The name "Botan" is homophonous with the English word "button" in Japanese pronunciation and ''kana'' writing. Might or might not be intentional, given her reputation as an FPS ''gamer''. Regardless, there's always a good chance that some kind of pun involving Botan will come up [[Memes/{{Hololive}} whenever the word "button" is mentioned on-stream]]. |
| 371 | * QuickDraw: She's a ''really good'' gunslinger when there are games involved in a game. Miko even mentioned seeing a comparison video where [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9pVQbz3sFw her own poor aiming was compared to Botan's gunslinging skill in TikTok]]. |
| 372 | * RealityIsUnrealistic: Some female lions, in fact ''do'' have manes; theirs isn't as thick and bushy as their male counterparts, which Botan has. |
| 373 | * RightForTheWrongReasons: She figured out who the imposter was twice in the first Among Us collab hosted by Towa, but both times her deductions were ignored because while she was right about suspicious movements they were based on misunderstanding the rules of the game. In Noel's case, Botan didn't realize that reporting a body cancels emergencies and suspected that Noel went for the second O2 to cause a time-out, and in Okayu's case she believed the imposter had to be standing still in Admin and alive to shut the door on her when the one shutting doors was actually Nene, who was already dead. |
| 374 | * SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: "Poi" is the Japanese onomatopoeia for lightly tossing something, grenades in Botan's case. |
| 375 | * SeenItAll: The fact that she barely reacts to horror games like Sora tells how much they hardly faze her. Unlike Sora, who actually gets scared on rare occasions, Botan always laughs in the face of danger, while Lamy often gets very scared when they play horror games together. |
| 376 | * SinisterSilhouettes: Her 2021 New Year's outfit reveal stream opened with Botan already in costume, but completely in silhouette and a giant circle over her head to tease the reveal. |
| 377 | * SingingVoiceDissonance: She usually sings with a higher pitch than her normal talking voice. A meme showcased on Haachama's Shitpost Review [[https://youtu.be/BOpCX9zf2iI?t=3060 lampshades this]] in a similar manner to the meme in FaceOfAThug above - her singing voice is represented by a CuteKitten with stubby legs. |
| 378 | * SheCleansUpNicely: |
| 379 | ** Her 2021 New Year's outfit is a short-skirt kimono which shows most of her legs, and an odango hairstyle that somehow manages to tie up her large mane. |
| 380 | ** Her casual outfit is a slick and professional spy outfit that shows off her figure well and fits her calm demeanour perfectly. |
| 381 | * SignatureLaugh: Hers is a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWFJaIijCSo rather nasally "Ha ha ha ha!"]] that often devolves into her wheezing for air after a minute or two, given her status as TheHyena of Gen 5. |
| 382 | * SmarterThanTheyLook: |
| 383 | ** She took [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6cwakLdvJ0&ab_channel=VClipn%27Subs Choco's 3-minute quiz]] and scores a record 28 points, beating out the previous hololive record of 20 points by Kanata and the previous overall record of 27 points by independent Vtuber Amai Hiyo. For reference to the rest of 5th gen, Lamy scored 15 points while Polka got the hololive average of 7 points, and Nene scored ''3 points''. |
| 384 | ** She is very knowledgeable about keyboard shortcuts. She told Nene to press Alt+F4 to force shutdown ''Minecraft'' after it was having difficulties. Her chat noticed this a rare occasion of telling someone to use Alt+F4, but not as a prank. |
| 385 | * StrangeMindsThinkAlike: In her ''VideoGame/HenryStickminSeries'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTOxIrOlOqk stream]] when she picks the [[TimeStandsStill NrG Drink]], she laughs at Henry doing exactly what she thinks he's gonna do: throw the guard in the trash and grab the donut out of the other's hand and eat it... until it wears off and [[YetAnotherStupidDeath he has a heart attack]]. |
| 386 | * SupremeChef: She's not quite on the level of someone like Choco or Lui, but Botan is very good at making ramen and will often make custom orders for her genmates on special occasions. |
| 387 | * SurprisinglyCreepyMoment: Botan explains that these moments in a video game, mainly a non-horror video game, are much more effective at scaring her than scares from horror games are. With horror games, Botan has time to prepare herself mentally as she already knows that there are going to be scares ahead of time, but non-horror games do not give her such preparation. |
| 388 | * SurveillanceDrone: Operates one in her 3D debut to find YAGOO and show off the 3D city environment. |
| 389 | * TeamDad: Gender aside, her calm levelheadedness and more stereotypically boyish hobbies have lead to her to be viewed as gen 5's cool dad figure [[TomboyAndGirlyGirl to pair]] with Lamy's TeamMom, a title both Coco and Kanata agreed was fitting. It was most noticeable [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCqDv94ZeuA when the group gave their thoughts]] on Aloe's graduation from hololive: while Lamy and Nene struggled to speak through tears and Polka was too dispirited to talk much, Botan took the reins and emceed the video with a composure that still made her sadness clear. |
| 390 | * TheTeetotaler: Her body doesn't handle alcohol well, so she drinks orange juice instead. |
| 391 | * TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The tomboy to Lamy's girly girl. When they decide to play a first-person horror game, Botan remains unfazed by the constant scares while Lamy instantly freaks out. |
| 392 | * TranquilFury: She rarely, if ever, gets angry. Especially if she loses at a game. Her video playing ''VideoGame/RainbowSixSiege'' shows her actually getting angry, but she doesn't raise her tone. |
| 393 | * {{Troll}}: |
| 394 | ** In Generation 5's collaboration stream on ''VideoGame/Left4Dead2'', both Polka and she were the only survivors who managed to make it to the safe house, but Polka encountered a large horde of zombies that proceeded to hound her. Botan gives a half-hearted "Oh no, there's nothing I can do" while Polka shouts incessantly to rescue her. In the next level, after a rough fight, Botan heals Lamy, but the latter tells her Polka is badly injured. Botan's response is a deadpan "Oh, she'll be fine". [[note]]In gameplay terms, Botan actually made the optimal choice. [[ViolationOfCommonSense By indirectly killing Polka at the end of the stage, she'd respawn right away with more health rather than wasting a medkit to heal up]]. In the second scenario, Lamy had been downed and thus had "temporary health" (which gradually decays) unlike Polka, making her the higher priority to heal.[[/note]] |
| 395 | ** During horror game collabs, Botan is not above making sudden movements or running into monsters to deliberately get a good scream out of Lamy. |
| 396 | * UnfortunateNames: "Botan" is actually a Russian slang word roughly meaning "nerd" (originating from the word "botanik", or "botanist" in English, perceived as a nerdy and unmanly profession). This would normally be a minor piece of trivia if it weren't for [[invoked]][[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff her significant following in Russia]]... Botan herself seems to be [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eters0Z6bVo at least vaguely aware of this]]. |
| 397 | * VagueAge: Botan's age changes every time she's asked about it, running the gamut between "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSjOeye5KnE Roughly 22 or 23. Or 25 or 26. Or... Or 27 or 28]]" and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaaWr4RlKCo Between 20 and 30... Or between 40 and 50]]". |
| 398 | * VocalDissonance: People who were following her before her debut expected her to have a deep voice based on her looks. Instead, she has a somewhat high-pitched voice that's been described by [=YouTube=] commenters as "Miko without the lisp" or "a combination of Marine and Flare". |
| 399 | * WaistcoatOfStyle: Her casual/spy outfit includes a stylish black vest that can be taken off. |
| 400 | * WallOfWeapons: She has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxhuqfEbq-A a hidden cache of weapons]] inside one of the walls in her room, as revealed in her 3D debut stream. |
| 401 | * WildHair: She has bulky, messily styled hair resembling a (male) lion's mane. Averted with her casual/spy outfit, which straightens her hair out. |
| 402 | * WrongSideOfTheTracks: In her debut, her intro video described where she came from as a bad neighborhood. |

| 437 | * AffectionateNickname: "Poruru-neesan" to the [=FuwaMoco=] twins, due to her wanting to act as their big sister (and the fact that she's Mococo's oshi). Though she did come up with the nickname herself. |
| 438 | * AfraidOfDoctors: She has a fear of dentists, probably tied to when a dentist's mistake scarred the palate of her mouth and left her with a SpeechImpediment. |
| 439 | * TheAllegedComputer: Played for laughs. When some of her fans call her gaming rig a "Potato PC" due to its occasional lapses in performance, she tries to wave it off, only to suddenly rave about how it is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJ1HdZLwszU a "Beef PC"]] in a raging litany of denial. |
| 440 | * AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fesntRK-H6g Polka's mother is a member of her channel]] and keeps tabs on frequent commenters and fellow members, often talking to Polka about her viewers' perceptions of her and telling her how some of them have grown and changed from watching her content. She eventually shows up in a phone call during [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4EExLkVwf4 an episode of]] ''The Legend of Polka'' where she and Polka discuss the latter's various childhood accidents and continues to dote on Polka and tease her in equal measure. |

| 442 | * BerserkButton: Do not call her computer a "Poltato PC". [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkWetD_tEa8 As Gura found out]], Polka will hunt you down and burn you with flaming arrows. |
| 443 | * BigDamnHeroes: When [=IRyS=] got attacked by a horde of skeletons and zombies after accidentally logging into the JP server when playing ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' for the first time, Polka quickly came to the rescue and defended her before pulling a StealthHiBye, which made [=IRyS=] explicitly compare Polka to ComicBook/{{Batman}}. She also rescued Kronii during the latter's first foray into the JP server, when she got lost and panicked. |
| 444 | * BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine: |
| 445 | ** Typically plays the boke to whoever she's streaming with, especially with Flare and Choco. Ironically, she would often end up being the tsukkomi to the rest of her generation, whose {{Cloudcuckoolander}} tendencies (especially Nene's) tend to outstrip her own, despite her being a literal clown. |
| 446 | ** In the ''Legend of Polka'' mini-series, she plays the tsukkomi to [[Characters/HololiveJapan Itzutsu's]] boke, though they do switch roles on occasion. |
| 447 | ** When first meeting [[Characters/HololiveJapan Nodoka]], she ended up playing the tsukkomi to Miko and Koyori's boke, wanting to look professional in front of hololive staff despite the other two not caring about that. |
| 448 | * BrawnHilda: Polka's incarnation in Miko's ''[=WWE 2K22=]'' custom superstars matches is a giant, hulking beast of a woman that puts even Mukirose to shame, and easily mops the floor with the rest of the bunch without breaking a sweat. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrebNgOaZFg Polka herself demanded that the character be designed this way]], and giddily shares fanart of the matches on her Twitter in approval. |
| 449 | * ButtMonkey: |
| 450 | ** Frequently becomes one for Botan when they play together. In [=G5's=] ''VideoGame/Left4Dead2'' stream, Botan manages to get to the safe house, but she ends up being left behind by Botan who doesn't bother saving her, even after she pleads to save her. In another level, the girls get in a particularly rough fight with a horde, and Lamy suggests Botan heal Polka, but the latter declines, saying "[Polka]'ll be fine". |
| 451 | ** In her collaboration stream with Coco, the latter deliberately messes with her when Polka is playing ''VideoGame/KeepTalkingAndNobodyExplodes''. Coco, of course, [[{{Troll}} gives the instructions in English]], something Polka admitted she can't read nor speak very well. The LanguageBarrier has caused Polka to die again and again. |
| 452 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "Polka Oruyo!" [[note]]Polka's here![[/note]], usually in response to "Polka Oruka?" [[note]]Polka, are you there?[[/note]]. |
| 453 | * CostumePorn: |
| 454 | ** Her default outfit has a lot going on even for Vtuber design standards, which fits her chaotic personality. |
| 455 | ** Her 2021 New Years' outfit is a triple whammy of Polka's chaos, Vtuber design, and New Years' combined to create an outfit so over-the-top the only place for your eyes to rest is her ''shoes''. |
| 456 | * CutenessProximity: Lamy's voice tends to turn her brain to mush, especially when Lamy's being motherly and affectionate. Polka compares it to getting high. |
| 457 | * DontCallMeSir: While playing ''VideoGame/AmongUs'' with her viewers, she repeatedly has to tell them to stop calling her "[[UsefulNotes/JapaneseHonorifics Polka-sama]]". |
| 458 | * DreadfulMusician: Not normally, but while playing guitar in ''VideoGame/NightInTheWoods'', she wound up getting this reputation in-game due to hitting one too many notes out of tune with the song "Die Anywhere Else". To take it further, she even tried to play her kazoo alongside said song, but hardly in tune with the song at all. |
| 459 | * DullEyesOfUnhappiness: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCpP0nBtJ4I Her model was given this option with her 3.0 update]], where [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk2IUeuwhwE her pupils lose all of the glitter effects and turn dark purple,]] which lends well to Polka playing the occasional {{Yandere}} character, though it is rarely used. |
| 460 | * ExoticEyeDesigns: Her pupils will change shape depending on her mood, appearing as hearts and stars when she's excited or happy, clovers when she's sad, and spades when she's angry. Notably, these seem to correspond to the four playing card suits, with stars replacing diamonds. |
| 461 | * {{Fangirl}}: Polka once shared her favorite vtubers she enjoys watching. Among them is Froot and Nyanners from WebVideo/VShojo. |
| 462 | * FunWithSubtitles: A fixture in Polka's non-stream videos on her [=YouTube=] channel are the official English subtitles, which often include references to her related memes, or her crew and assistants goofing off and laughing at her in the case of her ''Legend of Polka'' show. |
| 463 | * TheGamblingAddict: She loves the Toreba crane game, especially the rush when you win and people are watching. When Toreba and hololive first collaborated she ended up spending a lot of her savings to win ''10'' Korone pillows, something she admits she feels bad about... [[IgnoredEpiphany but would probably do it again]] if given the chance. |
| 464 | * GenkiGirl: While many of her videos cement her as this, [[ZigZaggedTrope she also has her moments on the opposite end of the spectrum.]] [[https://youtu.be/nrt31I4_f1s Lamy notes this a few times, comparing her to a light switch]], giving it two hundred percent for most of her streams and performance practices, and stopping dead in her tracks as if to recharge. |
| 465 | * GratuitousEnglish: Attempting to address her English audience will inevitably result in this, though especially in her debut with this memorable line. |
| 466 | -->'''Polka:''' So cute! Yes cute, Polka is best cute, YAGOO cute! YAGOO is best girl! ...Okay? |
| 467 | * HappyHarlequinHat: Wears a two-coned jester hat off her left fox ear. |
| 468 | * HiddenDepths: |
| 469 | ** In general, Polka is a lot more reflective and introspective than one might initially assume. While her loud, chaotic side is the most visible due to it being easy to clip and translate, a good amount of her streams feature her discussing her personal life, her philosophies on various things, and so on. She's also quite well-read (having studied to be a librarian at one point) and will often stream herself reading classic Japanese literature as "bedtime stories" for her audience. Some of this trope is due to a language barrier, but channels like [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFN7Ks_mbmydh7y1Jv8xRtw VTJ Clips]] have started to bring her more thoughtful side to light for her western audience. |
| 470 | ** Polka has proven to be familiar with western literature as well. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuNN9mWWIdg During Gen 5 X holoEN Among Us]], Ame is forced to make the match-deciding choice between ejecting Polka or Nene. Polka attempted to reason with Ame by quoting Sherlock Holmes himself and even shouting "Bartitsu!", [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartitsu Holmes' signature fighting style]]. |
| 471 | ** Her original song "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-K6PJi7b0o Persona]]" references [[UsefulNotes/CarlJung Jungian psychology]], with Polka name-dropping the man himself at one point. |
| 472 | * IdiotHair: Her pink and black ahoge tied with a blue bow. It's known as her "propeller ahoge" and is commonly depicted to be capable of spinning by fan artists. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzXbQZb1q88 After her animation update, it does.]] |
| 473 | * ImageSong: [[https://youtu.be/LQ_eazT56FA Hologram Circus,]] her first original song; an energetic piece which is all about Polka's love of entertaining and making people happy. |
| 474 | * JigglePhysics: When revealing her 2021 New Years outfit, she took the time to show off her thighs jiggling back and forth. This trope would carry over to her breasts during her 2.0 2D model update. |
| 475 | * KnightsAndKnaves: Brought up as a question in the [[https://youtu.be/TFDNO2gKh74?t=353 7th Legend of Polka episode]]. Her solution is to [[CuttingTheKnot force both of the old men to cross their bridge]] and take the one that doesn't collapse. |
| 476 | * LamePunReaction: [[https://youtu.be/yCTJGovVWJ4?t=5147 Ina from the EN branch once made a pun]] that was so terrible even [[BeyondTheImpossible Polka didn't find it funny]]. |
| 477 | -->'''Ina:''' ''VideoGame/PaperMario'' is a ''kami'' game. [[labelnote:The pun]]The kanji for "god" 神 and "paper" 紙 can both be read as ''kami''[[/labelnote]]\ |
| 478 | '''Polka:''' ''(in chat)'' [[LamePunReaction oh]] ''({{Beat}})'' ina...\ |
| 479 | '''Ina:''' ''(in between giggles)'' Uh... elite ''nihongo''. I thought you would understand me, Polka... |
| 480 | * LanguageBarrier: Polka admits that she has a very poor grasp of English, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFTMeMSSxG8 and she eventually got a translator to aid her in interacting with her overseas fanbase]]. Coco once exploited this for laughs when she and Polka collaborated on ''VideoGame/KeepTalkingAndNobodyExplodes'' by [[{{Troll}} giving the instructions in]] ''English'', causing Polka to die repeatedly. |
| 481 | * LastNameBasis: The rest of 5th Gen call her Omarun. |
| 482 | * LittleBitBeastly: Her ears and tail resemble those of a fennec fox. While she ''does'' have human ears, these are only present in [[https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0525/9585/1443/products/YcXBNwCHAY3tE51w_1000x.jpg?v=1643356394 official artwork]] or on her 3D render, and only when they happen to clip through her hair in the latter case, while her [=Live2D=] model lacked them entirely until her 4th costume, which features a hairstyle that shows her human ears. Notably, when she was eventually given headphones as accessories, [[https://youtu.be/RaSO8J_vsbM?t=313 they go onto her fennec ears instead of wrapping around her head.]] |
| 483 | * MadnessMantra: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7t83grc-XVg One of her short clips]] is her just Polka saying "POL" (a RunningGag of hers) while ominous ambient music plays in the background. Some of the [=YouTube=] commenters joked about how she may have opened one of [[Characters/HololiveEnglish Ina'nis]][='=]s [[TomeOfEldritchLore Tomes of Eldritch Lore]] and went mad as a result. |
| 484 | * MathematiciansAnswer: When asked by Kiara in English "How many instruments do you own?" she replied with "Yes". Even after Kiara clarified the question in Japanese, she merely got a "too many to count" response. |
| 485 | * MotorMouth: Has a tendency of [[https://youtu.be/gcIOG3wEYxc?t=8823 speaking incredibly fast]]. |
| 486 | * NavelWindow: Her default outfit has a tiny slit to show off her navel. |
| 487 | * NiceGirl: The girls who have met her in real life or speak to her behind the scenes will all mention how sweet and supportive the fennec is. In particular, it is mentioned how she has a propensity for lifting people's spirits. |
| 488 | * TheNightOwl: Polka usually streams very late into the night and stays up until the early morning, making her sleep schedule rather chaotic and prone to oversleeping. This is partially why she's usually late for group sessions. |
| 489 | * NoIndoorVoice: She's not exactly restrained, to put it lightly. Averted for her ASMR and bedtime story streams, however, where she maintains a soft, calm tone that can be startling to those used to her usually more boisterous demeanor. |
| 490 | * NoSenseOfDirection: As she has [[https://youtu.be/Zdlh5eAwW9E demonstrated]] [[https://youtu.be/zN4xDwGG3CM several]] [[https://youtu.be/imH4GYXeKv8 times]], Polka has a very poor sense of direction, often forgetting which direction she came from when trying to make her way back to places. |
| 491 | * NotAMorningPerson: Lamy claimed Polka was this trope in one of her free talk streams. Polka demonstrated this when she [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luudY9jRR08 arrived an hour and a half late]] to 5th gen's first ''Craftopia'' stream right as they were about to finish, sounding like she literally just woke up minutes ago.[[note]]Said stream ended at ''2:30 PM!''[[/note]] |
| 492 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When she has something important to say, she will take on a more serious tone. She has done this when speaking on Aloe's graduation as well as talking about a nightmare she had regarding a super typhoon that was a near miss for the Japanese mainland and encouraging her audience to stay safe. |
| 493 | * OneManBand: Literally, considering how she's the only performing member of her troupe and the ringmaster rolled into one. On the more technical side, Polka is one of a handful of talents who can carry entire skits on her own while playing all sides of a conversation, which gave rise to her nickname of "the entire circus" by the fanbase. |
| 494 | * PhraseCatcher: "Poruka, oruka?" (Polka, are you there?) and similar rhyming phrases are a frequent staple of her streams, especially when doing collabs with other Hololive members. |
| 495 | * PlayingCardMotifs: The four card suit symbols appear throughout her default outfit [[ExoticEyeDesigns and even in her eyes]] as part of the circus performer theme. |
| 496 | * PointlessBandAid: Her 2021 New Years outfit includes a blue star-shaped band-aid on her cheek and a pink heart-patterned band-aid on her right inner thigh. |
| 497 | * PokemonSpeak: Occasionally she will just say "POL" repeatedly, the first two syllables of her given name. |
| 498 | * RefugeInAudacity: [[https://youtu.be/9s_TPebdIHw One video she posted]] involved an "interview" with an [[TheGhost unseen individual]] asking many suggestive questions such as "So this is your first time?" and some more... alerting like "Are you loud when you do it?" or ''outright explicit'' like "Do you moan when it's rough?". The video ends before Polka gets far into "participating" ''but still''. |
| 499 | * RightForTheWrongReasons: During the third round of the ''Among Us'' EN / 5th Gen collaboration, Polka correctly guesses that Botan is one of the Impostors (the other one being Gura) after a killing spree that went unnoticed for a long while [[note]]Ina, Nene, Lamy and Kiara were all killed before any of the bodies were found[[/note]], but her reason for voting Botan out is a less-than-stellar "[[InsaneTrollLogic she's acting way cuter than usual]]". |
| 500 | * SadClown: Has hints of this but more melancholic and reflective than outright depressed. |
| 501 | ** In a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aihfyFywJLQ very short video]] she explains her motivations for why she's taken up the role of a circus performer. |
| 502 | ---> '''Polka:''' "Don't let people laugh at you. Make them laugh." Those were my father's words. He was a popular ringmaster in our hometown. I loved my father, I really did. That's why I wanted to be in the circus, too. |
| 503 | ** This is also implied by the songs she tends to cover. While her original Hologram Circus is about her enthusiasm and love of entertaining others, her later covers tend to feature dark and depressing lyrics [[LyricalDissonance set to happy upbeat music]]. As an insightful [=YouTube=] commenter points out: |
| 504 | --->''[[https://youtu.be/LQ_eazT56FA 1st song, original]] - welcomes to the circus and dreams of making a spectacular show'' \ |
| 505 | ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syhlmTNW_a8 2nd song, cover]] - talks about how nobody loves her and how she doesn't love herself'' \ |
| 506 | ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdHPnTd2Jd8 3rd song, cover]] - talks about how she smiles and sings through the pain'' \ |
| 507 | ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpoysjZfWrU 4th song, cover]] - She snaps and is now crazy, doesn't care about what happens, she loves you'' \ |
| 508 | ''hmmm i'm seeing a pattern here'' |
| 509 | * SexyJester: She's a [[NonIronicClown cute and attractive circus-themed Vtuber]] wearing a fairly provocative jester outfit. |
| 510 | * ShamelessFanserviceGirl: [[https://youtu.be/4y7n6j9-5-Y One short video]] has her exclusively [[MaleGaze showcase her thighs in view]] the whole time, possibly due to the [[DistractedByTheSexy response her thighs have gotten]] in her [[https://youtu.be/1q5VK5T4Rw8 New Year stream.]] |
| 511 | * ShipperOnDeck: During her call-in to Kronii's birthday stream, [[https://youtu.be/qc8Xm29DYns she expressed how much she enjoyed the Kronii-Mumei combination tee-tee.]] |
| 512 | * SiblingRivalry: Downplayed with Nene. Following the family dynamic of Gen 5, the two are prone to quarrel like sisters, [[SiblingTriangle especially when it comes to romance]], such as fighting over [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97vq4_K_slM Lamy]] and [[https://youtu.be/bQK1ywHTTo8?t=812 Ina]]. |
| 513 | * SignatureLaugh: She's got [[https://youtu.be/t4nNsubyIz0?t=100 high-pitched laughter]] that was almost immediately compared to Pekora's, to the point where some translators even gave her laugh pitch-indicating arrows. Although if you listen closely, Polka's laugh is more girlish and less raspy than Pekora's. |
| 514 | * SoOkayItsAverage: InUniverse. Polka is dismayed that she scored the hololive average of 7 points on [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85jmqgKVmkw Choco's quiz]] and thinks it's less entertaining than if she scored high or low. |
| 515 | * SpeechImpediment: She has trouble with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxMFjKzIrNk ny- sounds (nya, nyu, nyo)]] after a mistake during a dental operation scarred the palate of her mouth. Funnily enough, this speech impediment appears to be the exact opposite of Miko's. |
| 516 | * TalkingInYourSleep: Every now and then. On [[https://youtu.be/9_NpOk6txas?t=1030 one occasion]], she was talking in her sleep so much that her roommate became curious and asked what she's seeing, only for a (still-sleeping) Polka to point at the empty space in front of her and mumble as if an unseen person was standing there looking at them, in the dead of night. |
| 517 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Mentions in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LChIu14_VTI an episode]] of ''The Legend of Polka'' that hers is [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unadon eel on rice.]] |
| 518 | * {{Troll}}: Her "3D" stream set three days after her debut. It was actually a joke celebration stream over her '''3 D'''ays anniversary, complete with fake congratulatory mail in English and [=YAGOO's=] own congratulatory remark. |
| 519 | * VagueAge: Like Marine, Polka has a surprising amount of knowledge on early-2000s pop culture, hinting that she might be slightly older than she presented herself as. She outright refused to reveal her age both of the times she's been asked. |
| 520 | * WideEyesAndShrunkenIrises: She gained these in the same animation upgrade that allowed her IdiotHair to spin. |
| 521 | * WingdingEyes: Her pupils can change shape depending on her mood from hearts, clubs, spades and stars. |
| 522 | * WomanOfAThousandVoices: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkUs_GyIkAA Her vocal ranges are quite impressive without the need for software manipulation]]. In fact, it's a common joke among the fandom that the entire Gen 5 is just [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54wY2hZbOpk Polka doing different voices]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vofttVK5m4 This has expanded]] to pretty much ''all'' of the JP Gens. |
| 523 | * WordSaladHumor: Starting in May of 2021, Polka developed a habit of dropping [[https://twitter.com/omarupolka/status/1398140530945511427 truly mind-bending tweets]] in what appeared to be auto-translated English. Some fans have theorized she makes these by typing pseudo-intellectual "fake deep" nonsense in Japanese and then running it through [=DeepL=]. |
| 524 | --> '''Polka:''' [[MindScrew It is often said that summer vacation is all about watermelon seeds, but then, the electrical industry is a healthy type of civilization, so why rush it? If I were a traveler, I would suggest becoming best friends with a quicksilver rat.]] |
| 525 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: She's afraid of spiders, even when [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmgrSqA1Tqk they're her allies]]. |
| 526 | * {{Yandere}}: She [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yf7V_oqWkfg revealed this side of herself]] during a singing stream intermission. |

| 540 | A Succubus with dreams of becoming the Diva of the Demonic Realm. Headstrong and mischievious, she decides to test out her capabilities in the human realm after learning of ''hololive'' from an aquaintance.\ |
| 541 | |
| 542 | [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Hololive/comments/ijogcy/important_announcement_regarding_mano_aloe/ She graduated from her VTuber career]] shortly before the end of her two-week break due to the harrassment endured from her self-doxing incident. |
| 543 | ---- |
| 544 | * BootstrappedLeitmotif: ''[[https://youtu.be/dl1PCeldW-s Happy Synthesizer]]'', a {{Music/Vocaloid}} song originally sang by Megurine Luka and GUMI, is heavily associated with Aloe among the fanbase due to it being one of the few songs she sang before her early retirement. |
| 545 | * PinkIsErotic: She is a succubus, and had a lot of pink motifs; her hair, heart locket, and skirt are all pink. |
| 546 | * PointyEars: As befitting of a succubus, her ears stand out. |
| 547 | * PrehensileTail: Her full character art shows her holding a mic with her tail, which she showcases its purpose as a makeshift mikestand for her singing. |
| 548 | * SuccubiAndIncubi: She's a succubus-in-training and has the appropriate pair of horns and tail. Her right horn being shorter than her left one is meant to indicate that she is still not a fully-fledged succubus and it would grow as she matures. |
| 549 | * TheTease: Despite claiming that she wants to be teased herself, [[FridgeBrilliance true to her succubus lore, she wasn't even]] ''[[FridgeBrilliance trying]]'' [[FridgeBrilliance to be a pure idol even during her debut]]. When showing off her design, she revealed that she would post the official design for her panties on Twitter, and even stated that people would want to [[LecherousLicking lick them]]. |
| 550 | * SigilSpam: The lower left side of her dress is adorned with a pattern containing the Greek letter delta (Δ). |
| 551 | * SmugSmiler: Her default expression, being a cheeky grin. She does this while also addressing herself using ''wagahai'', the archaic pronoun stereotypically associated with arrogant characters. |
| 552 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: The character [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Hololive/comments/ijogcy/important_announcement_regarding_mano_aloe/ retired]] having done one stream on each day of the 15th, 16th and 17th of August, of which the last one was her apology & suspension video. |
| 553 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: She dislikes insects, including butterflies. |
