1st generation as a whole

The Friends Who Never Hang: Due to being the first attempt at a group, not much was done to foster a group identity. The girls were left on their own, and as a result they each did their own thing with the successes and troubles they had further determining things. Fubuki & Matsuri, Matsuri & Aki and Haato & Matsuri are pretty much the only pairings to avert this. The build up to the "From1st" concert also saw them collabing in a group as a rare aversion to this.

— Hi Hi High Tension!

Associated characters: Natsuiro Matsuhiko [JP: 夏色まつ彦] (Spear Counterpart), Fuyuiro

(Palette Swap/Mirror Self similar to Yoruno and Kurokami)

Absurdly Youthful Mother: Matsuri's actual mother is 51, but she can still sound cutesy enough to pass off as her older sister. It's to the point where fans have joked that Matsuri is just a clone of her mother. Apparently, the extremely youthful-looking avatar Mamatsuri uses on stream is actually how she looks.
Actually Pretty Funny: During her collaboration with Coco's Reddit Meme reviews, she bursts out laughing with the bad Japanese used by the reddit memers. "Yametekudastop" in particular sets her lungs in orbit.
Aggressive Submissive: Despite her very open advances towards her colleagues, she freezes up the moment someone reciprocates or takes the lead. This has happened with Choco in an ASMR stream as well as with Luna; she denies that Luna is more dominant than her, citing her lack of stamina, but when roleplaying out a love confession scene, Matsuri gets easily flustered when Luna plays along and encourages her to go for the kiss.
Ain't Too Proud to Beg: Her infamous Project Winter collaboration where she was at the receiving end of a Curbstomp Battle at the hands of Suisei has her begging for her life after the latter has slaughtered her entire Survivor team (sans Watame, who dies by herself) while Suisei steals Fubuki's clothes and imitates her just to rub salt to the wound. She did not forget about this whenever they collaborate in other multiplayer games.
Alcohol-Induced Stupidity: Every once in a while, Matsuri does a free talk stream absolutely smashed like so, doing silly things like expressing her desire to marry her chat, hitting on Luna, and screaming for no particular reason.
Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: On one of Matsuri's first streams of 2021, she brought her mother back on for the first time in over a year, now with a proper Live2D rigging on her avatar. Matsuri's chat immediately asked Mamatsuri what color her panties were. Instead of dodging the question, she lifted her skirt in front of Matsuri to check.
Ambiguously Bi: While Matsuri has made no effort to hide her attraction to girls, she's stated she doesn't mind the idea of going out with guys either. The only reason this remains ambiguous however is that in the clip she reveals she doesn't care about gender, she also mentions she isn't against the idea of having a non-human partner either. Like a wolf. As such, it's a bit hard to discern how truthful her statement really is. she later cleared up the ambiguity and said she has an ex girlfriend and is not opposed to dating girls in the future.
Ascended Fangirl: Defied. Despite being a big fan, Matsuri stated on HoloTalk that she really didn't want to know what goes on behind the scenes of Nijisanji when she was looking to become a Vtuber. Deciding to remain a fan, she applied to hololive instead which had yet to reach Nijisanji's level of notoriety.
Audience Surrogate: In a sense; she's a huge Vtuber fan even regardless of the fact that she is one herself, and she very often interacts or collabs with Vtubers from agencies besides Hololive, no matter how big/small or corporate/independent. She is particularly into Nijisanji and occasionally pops up in their streams to leave some superchats and buys much of their merch.
Big Brother Attraction: Manages this despite not having an older brother. During a stream with Roberu celebrating her streaming for two years, she revealed that what she wants more than anything is an older brother, to the point that she wished for one from Santa and eventually made an imaginary one. When Roberu asks what type of brother he'd be, she says he'd be kind, buy her sweets when she was upset, sleep with her, hug her, give her headpats, and bathe with her. Roberu has to clarify that she's talking about an older brother, and comments on how that seems to go quite a bit beyond the normal definition of one.
Big Sister Bully: Played for Laughs. She's a bit of a troll to her younger brother, and loves trying to rope him into some of her jokes.
Bring My Brown Pants: She's infamously peed herself on stream while significantly drunk.
Butt-Monkey: Matsuri becomes this during Apex Legends gacha streams as her chat uses the opportunity to turn their mischievousness up a notch and thrust her into a Straight Man role as they send her silly and nonsensical superchats: shopping lists, remarking about a random daily activity that should go on Twitter instead, pressing on her A-Cup Angst while claiming that receiving superchats will alleviate it, cheating on their oshis with her and other weird things. She gets a lot of money during these sessions, often at the cost of her sanity and her credit card getting rejected.
Buxom Beauty Standard: Zig-Zagged. While infamous for her fondness of "lolis", she also likes shapely girls with her telling a story of seeing Noel change.
The Cameo: She made a short appearance alongside Fubuki in Episode 3 of The Detective is Already Dead.
Character Catchphrase: "Konbanwa-shoi!" (こんばんわしょい!, "Greetings!" but casually) to start her streams.
Comedic Lolicon: One of Matsuri's most infamous traits is her unabashed attraction to lolis. She'll often describe what she thinks is an ideal loli, being short, having a flat chest and thick thighs, and being no older than 14. She shows particular attraction towards kindergarteners, due to having her ideal body type and innocent hearts, and 4th and 5th graders, due to it being the grade when sex ed begins. When her viewers show disgust towards it, she'll immediately tell them to knock it off, and once had her stream be age-restricted while she was live due to her loli talk, which she was genuinely confused by. Other members haven't let this gone unnoticed, with Coco in her Meme Review saying that Matsuri and Luna are a pairing that makes sense for all the wrong reasons.
The Dreaded:
- Played for Laughs. She's gained a reputation among hololive members about her rather Lovable Sex Maniac antics. For example, she once tried to get Aqua to sleep with her in Minecraft, with Aqua commenting about how she has heard stories about Matsuri. Matsuri actually did nothing to Aqua during the sleepover, but her attitude and phrasing was enough to send Aqua into a panic anyway.
  Aqua: (notices Matsuri creeping up to her and walks away into another corner) Think! Think! Think! We're dealing with the Hololive member... who's most notorious... for stealing girls' purity: Natsuiro Matsuri.
- Another Played for Laughs example: Matsuri quickly became this during several members' playthrough of Rust because of her penchant for unprovoked Player Killing and the occasional bout of Trolling and/or extortion. Or, as some of her fans put it, she became the quintessential Rust player while everyone else was trying to treat the game like Minecraft.
Early-Installment Weirdness: Several of her early streams involved her more or less playing a character. Nowadays, Matsuri is one of a small amount of hololive members who more or less plays herself. The only consistent thing she does is avoid giving her real age. To illustrate how far she went from her original character, she opens her Syobon Action stream with an impression of herself back when she made her debut. Her chat responded with nothing but "Who?" for about a solid minute.
Everyone Has Standards:
- While she may be openly perverted, she discusses in one stream that while she is fine with lewds, dirty jokes and the like, that doesn't mean everyone in hololive is okay with being treated the same way. She's perfectly okay with it being contained to her streams, but she has stated she wants it contained to her streams.
- She's not above invading the space of other idols and planting kisses on them rather suddenly, if someone tells her genuinely not to do something, she'll respect their boundaries.
- Despite being well known for her absolute lack of filter on sexual commentary and defense whenever someone but her takes the lead in flirting and exhibiting more submissive traits in general, she's completely blindsided and shocked to hear that Nene's Casual Kink is men physically looking down at her and degrading her. She was similarly blindsided by Aki misreading a shirt's text as "hard dick".
- For all her fetishes, she is no fan of the Netorare genre, going so far to say it damages the brain.
Fangirl: Of many streamers across both hololive and Nijisanji. She mentions watching basically all of her peers with Pekora, Aqua, Luna, Rushia, Marine, Lamy and Nene being the most prominent at the time she was asked (May 2021). For the latter agency, she names Sara Hoshikawa as her favorite.
Fountain of Youth: She once streamed herself inexplicably as a loli. She brought the act back during her April 1st 2021 stream with a smoother Live2D model.
The Gadfly: Presents herself as a Comedic Lolicon and occasionally talks openly about controversial Doujinshi on her streams. When she's accidentally raunchy, however...
Girlish Pigtails: Her casual outfit has two varieties of this. The first has her twintails styled like Ojou Ringlets and the second simply mirrors her regular left-side ponytail on both sides.
Glass Cannon: Despite being The Gadfly, she gets easily embarrassed around people more perverted than her, as she found out the hard way in a collab stream with Nijisanji's Chaika, another with independent VTuber Umi Yuugasaki, and when she meets a "fan" on Animal Crossing: New Horizons that's plastered crudely drawn phallic symbols all over their island. English commenters occasionally name drop this trope or its definition to describe this irony. On BiliBili, her Chinese fans use the term 0 DEF to describe the same thing.
A God Am I: She has claimed on multiple occasions that she is both hololive itself as well as a god. Alcohol is usually involved. She eventually also declared herself a god of the English language despite her video descriptions always saying she doesn't understand it. That said, her first English-only stream immediately after went quite well despite her small vocabulary.
Matsuri: I'm a god, you are dog. Heheh!!
Goroawase Number: Her official reddit username is 7216 (na-tsu-i-ro). Her Superchat donations are also frequently in this amount.
Guest Fighter: Matsuri is one of the six members chosen to represent hololive during a 2019 collaboration event with Azur Lane, taking on the role of Destroyer gameplay-wise.
Has a Type: In terms of girls, she's admitted her type is "a girl who tries her best" which, humorously, can describe every idol in hololive.
The Heart: While Fubuki is more the natural leader but Matsuri is the main one that interacts with her genmates the most. The "From1st" concert and the related whole gen collabs were her idea.
Hidden Depths:
- She hosts audio-only streams where she voices her thoughts, which can vary with how she felt about the day went to how insecure she is and how she struggles to connect with other people.
- Her video descriptions say that she doesn't understand English and frequently berates herself by saying she cant speak it at all, but she eventually did a surprise English-only stream that showed her basic ability was a lot better than what she had led people to believe.
- She actually is a licensed electrician, Type II/Just electric plugs.
- Despite her aggressive flirting, she's made it clear that she doesn't want to date (or even reveal her feelings for) other hololive members on the grounds she doesn't want to make things awkward for them, showing a real mindfulness about how the situation could turn out.
Hidden Heart of Gold: A mild case. Despite all her bluster on-stream, a lot of hololive's members claim she's the nicest girl in the whole group offline.
Hilariously Abusive Childhood: Matsuri's biological mom once joked about routinely fighting each other with kitchen knives in her daughter's youth.
Hopeless Suitor: Matsuri gave a shot at trying to ask Aoi Yūki out during a talk stream with Yuuki as a special guest, but it failed miserably since the latter likes characters with big breasts, which Matsuri certainly isn't.
Humiliation Conga:
- Suffers one at the hands of Suisei when they played together in Project Winter where the latter cripples her, steals Fubuki's clothes, imitates Fubuki, then using a rifle with poisonous darts while she begs for her life until Suisei finally kills her with her gold axe while laughing about it. It got so bad, the other girls are often on edge whenever Suisei plays with them, and by the time she does get the chance to play Traitor, Suisei gets hounded by wolves, thereby robbing her of her revenge.
- She also gets this pretty bad while practicing for the Hololive Sport's Festival, where she challenged Fubuki and Aqua to different courses, only to get absolutely demolished by both of them.
I Am the Noun: "I AM HOLOLIVE!"
I Don't Want to Ruin Our Friendship: Specifically used as a reason why she didn't want to date Luna, and also used in general for all relationships with other Hololive members. She's well aware of the weight of a romantic relationship with someone, and the potential consequences should it not work out.
Immortality Begins at Twenty: Implied. The title of her 2nd birthday celebration video is "[Birthday celebration] This year too!! 16th birthday!! *also important announcement [#NatsuiroMatsuri3D]".
Insistent Terminology: Matsuri likes to describe herself as the paragon of seiso among Hololive at any chance she can get, even though her typical behavior is anything but.
Ironic Name: Her name means "Summer-colored Festival," but Matsuri enjoys winter activities more and hasn't participated in many summer festivals.
Irony: She is easily one of the best and most graceful dancers in the group, but she somehow cannot manage skipping without looking like a Mindless Titan.
Language Barrier: Matsuri's English is evidently limited, as shown in this clip from an English-only round of Among Us hosted by Ollie, when she has no idea what the other players are saying. Shortly after IRyS gets voted out and jettisoned, Matsuri says this, in English, nonetheless:
Matsuri: Wow. I don't speak English.
Lovable Sex Maniac: Openly talks about her lolicon tendencies. Frequently sexually harasses other female Vtubers. Talked about buying a Tenga-brand sex toy while streaming with Kanata. All are played for laughs, but it's apparently not limited to her streaming time, as other members have commented on her doing things in person to them.
Little Bit Beastly: Her normal outfit has optional cat ears, while her casual wear has optional bunny ears.
Meaningful Name: With the last name first, her full name means "summer-colored festival", an apt name for a Genki Girl.
The Noseless: Subverted. Her character design has a very subtle nose that isn't terribly well-outlined on her face, creating the illusion that she doesn't actually have one. Not even her design concepts have noses, though her 3D model does finally have one, just not visible from the front.
No Sense of Personal Space: She's been described multiple times as someone who won't hesitate to get into someone's space when face to face, driving the point home, she's often kissed or felt up a good number of hololive idols when she meets them.
Percussive Therapy: Prone to hitting her desk when she's angry.
Punny Name: Her fans are referred to as Matsurisu, a Portmanteau of her name and "listener/risunā". However, since risu also means "squirrel" in Japanese, the Matsurisu are therefore depicted as such.
Purity Personified: She is Hololive's seiso representative. Given all the other tropes in this list, however, it's pretty much In Name Only.
Properly Paranoid: The entire incident with Suisei when she, Suisei, Watame, Roboco, Kanata, Coco, Aki, and Fubuki were playing Project Winter made her very wary of Suisei when they play together in other games, and there is a good reason why. When she played with Suisei with the aformentioned six girls, Suisei kills Coco, Fubuki, Kanata, and Aki in swift succession and when Matsuri was held dead-to-rights, Suisei steals Fubuki's clothes, imitates her, and gleefully finishes her off. In fact, when she plays with her again, this time with Aki, Choco, Mel, Haato, and Luna, she becomes very paranoid of her and actually deduces that Suisei switched identities with a dead Aki (who was both poisoned and killed by wolves) when Suisei becomes Traitor.
Roaring Rampage of Revenge: When she heads to a nearby village with her new friend Chihuahua in Minecraft, a golem attacks her, and when she is down to two hearts, she tries to escape until Chihuahua ends up getting killed, causing the girl to kill the golem and the entire village that had nothing to do with it.
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: She once loaded into a Minecraft session purely to flirt with Flare and attempt to get a kiss, only to be turned down due to not wanting to make Noel jealous. After which she immediately jumped in the nearby ocean and left.
Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: With Suisei, but only in Project Winter. They do get along fine in concerts, group streams, and off-stream. But when it comes to Project Winter, she treats it as a rivalry while Suisei doesn't really care for it.
Tomboyish Ponytail: Her hair is styled like this as she is one of the most tomboyish and non-traditionally feminine of the cast, alongside emphasizing her past as a cheerleader for which this would have been very practical.
Took a Level in Badass: In early January 2021, Matsuri laments about the hate she got for her poor performance in an recent APEX tournament. Fast-forward to June of the same year, she goes on to climb to Masters Rank and her team places first in a Nijisanji APEX tournament held that same month.
Verbal Tic: A nondescript "un" (うん, lit. "yeah"). She ends her sentences enough with it that even Matsuri herself can't help but notice.
Weight Woe: Implied, as Matsuri's heart rate skyrocketed when Fubuki teased her about gorging on high-calories food, and even she herself had also admitted to being something of a Big Eater. Cue total freak out on Matsuri's part.
Fubuki: I hear you can't fit into your favorite skirt anymore?
Disclaimer: [True story]
Woman of a Thousand Voices: Played with. Even though she's not a voice actor by trade, Matsuri is capable of impersonating some of them, as well as a large portion of Hololive's cast with scary accuracy despite the diverse range of their vocal pitches. Bizarrely, when she streamed while slightly ill, Matsuri's voice strongly resembled Okayu's.

Blessings upon her future as she sets off again

— SHALLYS

Associated characters: Mukirose [JP: ムキロゼ] (Digital Avatar/Spear Counterpart)

Anime Hair: Her trademark twintails are separated and float behind the rest of her hair, which is styled in a perfectly sensible bob cut.
Another Dimension: Sha-Le-Ys, her hometown, is an elven country in another universe.
The Beastmaster: In ARK: Survival Evolved, she has a rather large group of tamed dinosaurs to use as mounts and has tried to tame other creatures as pets.
Big Good: With the 2022 resurgence of ARK: Survival Evolved, Aki became a major guiding force of various new players to the level of earning an NPC status akin to Moona.
Born Unlucky: Some fashion of misfortune is never far from her, though her luck was at its worst early in her career with Youtube demonetizing her at least once and hip surgery caused her growth to suffer horribly until Reddit came to rescue.
Butt-Monkey: She notably gets this role whenever she appears in some Holo no Graffiti episodes where she's being featured. Such as being knocked out or in her own episode, suffering from a hangover while her mental personages are trying (and failing) to help her recover.
Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Downplayed, but she's had her share of odd moments, such as the Akichopper or the creation of MukiRose. There's also the time that, on a joking prod, she tried to drink a cocktail through her nose because said drink came with two straws.
Conlang: Her song Shallys is sung in an elven language she created.
Covert Pervert:
- Matsuri of all people calls her out as being dirty-minded and mentions a moment where Aki misheard "Tenjin Kotone" t-shirt as "Chinchin Katame" ^TranslationHard dick t-shirt.
- She's awkwardly refused to lend her Kindle to her brother due to purchasing lewd comics on it.
- She's said multiple times her favorite tag on hentai websites is Naughty Tentacles, and encourages her fans to draw erotic art of her. Ninomae Ina’nis' design sent her heart racing, leading to a somewhat flirty twitter exchange between the two.
- In general, she is good at surprising newcomers with perverted moments as she doesn't change her tone or expression when doing so.
Determinator: She managed to beat the Tree Sentinel boss in Elden Ring after 14 hours of trying and dying a combined total of 401 times. To further drive home the significance of her determination, her Mukirose was a level 1 Wretch, basically the weakest starting class in the game, and had no gear on except for a dinky club.
Does Not Like Spam: Pineapple on pizza. When asked about it, her answer was a string of "No"s and "No thank you"s. A picture of a dish with pineapple on the meat part was tagged so she'd see it. She responded with a Big "NO!" in English, suggesting it extends to pineapple on any sort of meaty thing.
The Don: Becomes one for Neo Police, a gang that she formed alongside Nijisanji's Ex Albio and Neo-Porte's Shirayuki Reid in season 2 of the Grand Theft Auto V roleplay hosted by VCR^note.
Dude Magnet: According to a number of stories about off collabs with her, she's the one who draws in the guys. This is rather notable as the list of girls she's off-collabed with are Noel, Lamy and Choco (who are implied to be headturners in real life)
Expressive Accessory: The flaps on her "horns/antennae" are rigged to move up and down as she emotes.
Fantastic Naming Convention: Unlike all other Hololive Japan members, who follow Japanese naming convention regardless of their established background, her name is explicitly western-styled (denoted by the fact that her given name is officially listed first, and the use of ・ between the names).
From Nobody to Nightmare: In the VCR roleplay world, Aki was very new to Grand Theft Auto V roleplay when she first entered in season 2 and it showed, having been effectively tricked by Albio and Reid into the life of crime as only a simple getaway driver for their criminal activities. By the end, she had turned into the charismatic leader of Neo Police, one of the biggest gangs in the server that has racked many millions from their illicit activities and successfully broke into both Union Depository and Pacific Standard.
Going Commando: Mio found out when morning calling Aki that she sleeps without panties, much to Mio's delight.
Hammerspace: Apparently, her Zettai Ryouiki is a portal from where all sorts of things can come out. Things that include enough poison to flood a room and people.
Hard-Drinking Party Girl: She's one of the more frequent drinkers in hololive, has had a wine-tasting collab stream, and on one particular occasion, went through six cans of Strong Zero before falling asleep.
Sleep-talking Aki: Life is 9% alcohol.
Hartman Hips: Aki is noted for having a pretty nice pair of hips and her ability to move them. Her dress emphasizes both. In one 3d collab stream with Noel, Lamy, and Marine, she had a pedometer on her hips to measure movement and moved so fast her avatar seemed to vibrate and many suspect she did it so fast that the final number was inaccurate.
Hidden Depths:
- Her off-stream side is quite a mystery beyond things that come straight from her or other members
- She enjoys playing the drums and has bought her own set. She has said that she has a long way to go and strives to improve with it, and gets to show off what she's learned in Suisei's 3rd anniversary concert.
- Since the sizable influx of English fans, she has started to study English as to better understand them, to the point where she often adds in English parts to her video descriptions. She revealed that a school she went to in the past had a pretty thorough English education.
- In her Death Stranding, she has shown herself to have quite a talent for out of the box solutions to problems, might overlap with Achievements in Ignorance. One such case is using a ladder as a bike bridge.
Hopeless Boss Fight: When Mukirose subs in for Tsunomaki Janken, any choice of rock, paper, or scissors all fall against her flexing pose.
In-Series Nickname: AkiRose. It's usually used as an abbreviation of her actual name.
Magitek: Her native world is implied to be full of it. Apparently, it's what powers her floating twintails.
Manly Man: MukiRose, her player character in ARK. A towering, blonde bearded muscle man with flowing locks, a hawaiian shirt and no pants. Muki's accomplishments include trying to tame a Rock creature with a rocket launcher and said to have punched out a smaller dinosaur. Mukirose has proven to be quite popular with her fanbase and has even recieved an official redesign by Aki's character designer. The nickname has gone to to cover anything Aki does that falls under this trope.
Marry Them All: On the marriage matter, she considers all her fans her husband and said so on more than one occasion.
Ms. Fanservice: On top of one of her outfits being basically lingerie, she happily reads out some fairly seductive fan suggested lines. And she shows that she can belly dance quite well (using a seemingly nude silhouette) During her 3D birthday party she does whatever erotic pose the other gen1 girls suggest, even admitting that she kinda likes it.
Nice Girl: Kind natured and slow to anger. She can't even bring herself to try acting possessive or yandere. She has even encouraged her fans to check out HoloCouncil while she was largely on break.
Nonhuman Humanoid Hybrid: A Half-Elf from another world whose other half is Siren. She somehow looks perfectly human.
The Noseless: A very subtle nose bordering on invisible on her Live2D models, which her fans usually tease her about. Her 3D model does have a much more visible one, albeit only from the sides.
No Sense of Direction: She gets easily lost, even in ARK: Survival Evolved despite her playtime, and says she does much better in games where it's not possible to go off-track.
Nutritional Nightmare: Apparently in real life her diet consists of nothing for breakfast or lunch, a single Big Mac burger for dinner, and "1 very large beer", alongside misc. junk food.
Precision F-Strike: Very rarely she gets agitated enough to say what comes out to be "Faq", such as in part 12 of her Death Stranding series, when there was trouble with youtube due to among other things a typhoon where she eventually said "Faq U typhoon!"
Put on a Bus: She has a tendency to take breaks due to camping, family visits, or illness.
Really 700 Years Old: The first hint that she isn't human is the fact that she gave her age as 17+200 years old. Indeed, she looks like she would be 17 years old if she was human.
Shout-Out: YAGOO named her "Rosenthal" after Reuenthal from Legend of the Galactic Heroes.
Some Call Me "Tim": Twice in fact. According to her, "Aki Rosenthal" is not her real name, but a name given to her by YAGOO as her Sha-Le-Ys name is difficult for earthlings to pronounce. This name then gets simplified further to the "AkiRose" she goes by today.
String Theory: She made one when attempting to explain the entire story of Death Stranding chapter by chapter.
Tears of Joy: She discovered she landed 200,000 subscribers overnight when someone translated her struggle as a hololive Vtuber. She then found out Reddit users found out about said struggle and subbed to her en masses. She was moved to tears when she found out.
White Magic: According to Aki, she comes from a family lineage specializing in healing magic.

Adaptational Skimpiness: Her default 3D outfit shows more skin than her 2D outfits. She is noticeably the only hololive member to wear a different outfit in their default 3D model from their original 2D one.
Affectionate Nickname: She is called "Yossan" by Subaru at her own request. To the duck's embarrassment, she's the only person to call Mel by that.
Afraid of Blood: Ironic, considering she's a vampire. Apparently, acerola cherry juice can substitute for blood.
Battle Aura: Whenever she participates in a hololive tournament, particularly a Mario Kart game, her avatar will exude an aura around her.
Big-Breast Pride: When showing off her 3rd 2D outfit, she makes a point of saying that while she's now fully covering her chest, it doesn't diminish her splendid boobs.
Book Dumb: According to Matsuri, Mel is very sensible and quick-witted but also pretty weak in academic tests. As in, she'd score even lower than Aqua. This is more-or-less confirmed when she, along with Shion, Pekora, Towa, and Nene, took a test by Koyori, and Mel consistently scored the lowest of the five.
Censor Box: Due to getting banned by a YouTube AI for allegedly her appearance in her return stream, she tried in later streams to cover her exposed upper body to avoid triggering YouTube any further. Her arsenal included black boxes with the phrase: "I love YouTube-kun", "YouTube-kun kapu!", "YouTube-kun is cute", "YouTube-kun kawaii ♥", and (roughly) "I ♥ YouTube-kun" written on them... as well as a blurry microphone.
Cloud Cuckoolander: Her peers and fans note that her thought process is so far out there that sometimes no one can understand it.
The Cuckoolander Was Right: Her "far out there" thought process proves to be very instrumental in Koyori's "Sea Turtle Soup" stream where the contestant needs to use lateral thinking and ask "yes or no" questions to the host. Even Koyori was shocked at Mel's guesses with Koyori not even considering the ways Mel could find the clues that Koyori didn't even think of.
Comically Missing the Point: In one part of Koyori's test, Mel, Shion, Pekora, Towa, and Nene have to answer a couple of Japanese riddles that were translated into English; Mel tried to answer the questions as if she were having a conversation.
Commuting on a Bus: Due to her real-life schedule, she cannot stream as much as the other members and mostly does collabs from time to time. It was eventually revealed on her Twitter that her relative lack of activity was a response to a harassment campaign against her, as suggested by local police. Although at the end of June 2020, she was able to stream regularly again.
Cordon Bleugh Chef: Almost as bad as Haachama in this regard. She once held a cooking stream wherein she mixed potato chips with a really weird assortment of complements ^note.
Curtains Match the Window: Her eyes and hair are the same golden shade.
Cute Little Fangs: On a normal vampire, these would be the can opener to a jugular vein's can. On Mel, they just serve to look cute.
Daywalking Vampire: Seems to be this as depicted in official animations such as Holo no Grafitti, where she's seemingly unaffected even when standing in direct sunlight; instead, heat appears to be her weakness, and in extreme cases, can cause her to shrink down in size. She eventually confirms that she is this trope on Kiara's HoloTalk, explaining that while vampires normally do get burned by exposure to sunlight, a special medication (in both lotion and ingestable forms) that adequately protect vampires from this has become widespread in Makai (where she hails from).
Deadpan Snarker: She has a way with witty comebacks that becomes evident when she collabs with her peers.
The Ditz: Miko and Roboco at the very least think that Mel is the most airheaded member of hololive. This is further supported by how she consistently scored the lowest when she took a test Koyori made.
Double Standard: Rape, Female on Female: Averted as Mel clearly doesn't support this with her nearly experiencing this at one point in her life during her high school years by another member of the swimming club. It was only thanks to her mom arriving at her house that it didn't escalate any further.
Dual Wielding: At one point in Minecraft, she decides to dual-wield a pair of shields.
Embarrassing Nickname: BANpire, portmanteau of "ban" and "vampire". In June 2020, when she returns back to streaming after a long hiatus, her return stream was banned twice by YouTube's automated system in less than ten minutes. During this whole ordeal, Marine posted a humorous tweet, jokingly calling her a "BANpire". The name has since caught on and occasionally used by fans whenever ban-related topics come up, much to her dismay.
Expository Hairstyle Change: At the end of August 2020, she received a less Stripperific Live2D model with longer hair and a pair of twintails.
Friendly Neighborhood Vampire: With no intention to drink blood, harming anything, let alone harming humans, she's about the most wholesome vampire you'd meet.
Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: She's noted to be very sweet and playful.
Idiot Hair: She has an ahoge sprouting from the middle of her head, which goes well with her bumbling in academic subjects, despite saying she's a "genius vampire".
Improbable Aiming Skills: During the first hololive Minecraft sports festival, Mel managed to land an incredibly difficult shot on Aki, who was flying in the human darts game, and promptly died upon hitting the ground. Then, the following year during the sports festival practice, she hit Botan mid-flight, though the lioness survived.
Ironic Nickname: For her claims of being a "genius vampire", Mel definitely has her fair share of ditzy pon moments. Consistently scoring the lowest in Koyori's test when compared with Shion, Pekora, Towa, and Nene; answering in said test some Japanese riddles translated into English as if she were having a conversation, her generally out-there thought process...
Next Tier Power-Up: According to a flashback shown in her 3rd 2D outfit debut stream, her new form is a transformation she was ultimately able to achieve thanks to Kapu-min's daily acerola cherry juice offerings.
Power Makes Your Hair Grow: According to Mel, the power she gained from Kapu-min's acerola cherry juice caused her hair to grow longer.
Refuge in Audacity: This whole segment qualifies as it's rather gratuitous and unabashed in showing off Mel's chest, which is made humorous when one takes into account her issues with YouTube's AI.
Shipper on Deck: She's yet another vtuber who's a fan of Noel and Flare being together, as she once voice-acted a scenario of the two out on a Valentine's date when the prompt was vague and could have been anyone.
Sixth Ranger: Was originally meant to be another standalone talent similar to Roboco, but was rolled into Generation 1 when Hitomi Chris was fired, since she hadn't even been around for a full month yet.
Straight Man: Usually plays this role in Holo No Graffiti shorts.
Stripperific: Her first outfit shows a large amount of her midriff which combined with her shorts shows off a lot of skin. While her default Live2D clothing showcases a lot of skin, her 3D model's outfit in particular showcases much more.
Tamer and Chaster: Her 3rd 2D outfit completely covers up her cleavage to avoid triggering YouTube's AI for indecency.
Tareme Eyes: Has arguably the most notable case of these in Hololive, with a notable droop to her eyes.
Vegetarian Vampire: Despite being a vampire, blood squicksinvoked her. Luckily, she can substitute with acerola cherry juice, her favorite drink.
Victoria's Secret Compartment: One Holo no Grafitti short has her pull an egg out of her cleavage.
