Personality
Nene is a cheerful girl who loves to talk and sing. She dreams of becoming an idol and having her own anime opening song. She's overconfident in games calling herself "Supernenechi," displaying good aiming skills in Apex despite being a beginner or having a 100% win rate in the first Among Us collaboration stream, however she can also be clumsy such as falling 16 times in her first Minecraft stream and failing Roboco-san's magma test.

Polka and Lamy think that Nene is the toughest fifth gen member as she can easily bounce back to being optimistic, this can be seen in Nene's own recruitment to hololive as she applied to the agency four times, not losing hope until she was accepted in her fourth attempt.

Unlike Shirakami Fubuki, Nene is famously known for "husband-zoning" the audience, particularly non-Japanese viewers (dubbed by her fans as "Nene's husband collection,") as such, she refuses to "divorce" from her viewers or be called "friend."

Nene also flirts with other members of hololive using her "handsome" voice, calling members such as Lamy as "my Lamy" or sending kisses to girls. She admitted that she has many wives which include Lamy, Suisei, Ina and Kiara.

Nene used to add -aru at the end of her sentences. However, she stopped using it because she is not confident about it.

She greets he viewers with "Konnene"「こんねね」and says good bye with "Otsunene bye bye"「おつねね ばいばい」.

Trivia

 * Her name Nene, is often used in general Japanese to catch someone's attention or to say "hey, listen!"
 * Nene's surname Momosuzu「桃鈴」can be divided as such,
 * The first kanji Momo「桃」means "peach."

 * Much like Kiryu Coco, Nene's voice tone has changed drastically as she continued to stream; in her early streams, Nene had lower-pitched, somewhat boyish voice akin to Shiranui Flare. Nene's voice has gradually shifted to the current one from fall 2020 to January 2021, now having more feminine yet still energetic voice that can be described as a fusion between Amane Kanata's and Sakura Miko's.
 * A day before Nene's debut stream, Yukihana Lamy's stream took place, in which she was introducing her upcoming colleagues, including Nene. During the introduction, she accidentally typed Nene's second name in reverse 「鈴桃」, resulting in "Suzumomo." Even before Nene's first stream, fans already started calling her Suzumomo.
 * A similar instance occurred during Ookami Mio's haiku stream on 23 February 2021, in which Nene was a participant, where Mio accidentally typed Nene's second name as "Momotetsu" 「桃鉄」.
 * Since then, getting Nene's name wrong has become a running gag of sort; for example, some of her audiences intentionally typed Nene's wrong during a stream, and during Nene's introduction in a Holo no Graffiti episode, subtitles briefly showed her name as "Momotsuri Nene" 「桃釣ねね」.
