Rosemi Lovelock

Rosemi Lovelock (ロゼミ ラブロック) is a female English Virtual YouTuber affiliated with NIJISANJI EN's second wave "OBSYDIA", alongside Selen Tatsuki and Petra Gurin.

Profile
A rose maiden raised in a beautiful garden.

Pretty as a rose in a vase, but a little sharp to the touch.

Personality
Rosemi is a sweet and pure-hearted goofball. She likes to boast a little and show off her capabilities on-stream, though sometimes with questionable or worrisome results. She enjoys picking up on both old and new memes, and is quite skilled at a variety of games.

Contrary to what her official bio might suggest, Rosemi is a geniunely nice person with little in the way of a dark/thorny side, and is generally regarded as the most wholesome member of the EN branch. She shows surprising levels of innocence from time to time, sometimes using innnendos or double entendres without being aware of their meaning. Her insults tend to be very gentle as well, typically along the lines of "you dummies!" or "you big loser!" instead of cursing.

Background
On 30 November 2020, NIJISANJI opened auditions for their new English branch, with the audition period lasting until 15 December. Youtube channels for NIJISANJI EN's second wave were created on 8 July 2021, and their Twitter accounts were also created in July 2021.

NIJISANJI EN's second wave, OBSYDIA, was announced on 14 July 2021, accompanied by a short teaser with the new Livers' designs and voices.

Debut
OBSYDIA began their activities on 18 July 2021 (JST) as part of a special debut program on the NIJISANJI English channel. Rosemi was the first of the group to debut, with commentary provided by Pomu Rainpuff. Rosemi's debut stream featured a hand-drawn introductory video, and was particularly memorable due to her calling the chat pigs.

Afterwards, all three members of OBSYDIA appeared on the main channel. OBSYDIA's first original song, "Black Out", was released shortly after the debut program. The song's composition and lyrics were written by TeddyLoid and the lyrics' story was made by Ryushen.
