Profile
Nozomi is on social networking sites as "half demon, half human." She is just a human but believes in her evil magic powers. The roll bandage on her left arm seals the power of the devil.

During her debut stream, Nozomi presented what appeared to be her profile: Later she admitted that the profile above is just a setting to be used for social medias. Below is the revised profile:

Personality
Nozomi is a typical chuunibyou girl whose goal is to become a "super charismatic influencer" and conquer the world with the power of social media. In contrast to her "public" villainous persona, her actual personality is honest and innocent.

Nozomi's overall personality resembles Selen Tatsuki's, with Kenmochi Toya's talkativeness blended in; she is cheerful and often laughs during streams, including at her own jokes. She likes to jokes around her fans, and has since been regarded as the major trait of her personality. She also has a fondness of internet memes and often uses it to banter with her fans.

When a stream is starting she greets with "Welcome to Underground," and when ending a stream she says farewell with "La Yodasou Stiana." Due to their lengths, her fans unofficially abbreviated them as "WtU" and "La!" respectively, both of which became official as of the opening of channel membership, adding them as two of its custom emotes.
