Trivia

 * Color: #42FFFF
 * Her stream waiting chat greetings is "Helestandby "(ヘルエスタンバイ). Her streaming greeting used to be "Haloesta" (ハロエスタ) upon starting but was scrapped and replaced with "Good day^^" (こんにちは^^). Her goodbye greeting is "Otsuesta" (おつエスタ). Her fanname is Helesta Oukokumin (ヘルエスタ王国民) which means Helestans or Helesta Kingdom nationals.
 * She calls Ange as her best friend and childhood friend and has known each other for 10 years. Lize and Ange have lived together in the same room for a week for LizeAn Week project.

 * Her batch group name Sanbaka is written in hiragana さんばか. Although it translates to "3 idiots" or "3 stooges", it does not refer to 3 Idiots and is an abbreviation of "Sanba Carnival". This name originates from a relay project for their debut streams which was making a song by only their voices. The same song was then reused during the three's 2.0 update relay stream to make a parody of Exile's Choochoo Train movement. The resulting video was titled gomi_douga.mp4 (which means trash_video.mp4). The three also attempted to reenact the Choochoo Train dance along with the gomi song in their 3D form during Sanbaka Debut 1st Anniversary.

Lize received a potted plant from the Third Prince who bought it for her by saving his pocket money and she keeps a very good care of it.
 * Lize's older sister, the First Princess, is good in design and designed Lize's background image, Lize's 3D Stream thumbnail, Lize's Tshirt design for Ichikara Booth sales, Ange's 3D Stream thumbnail, as well as helped with Lize's opening scene for her stream beginning from 20 February 2020 . Unlike her older sister, Lize's artistic sense is almost non-existent, as shown in her drawing stream featuring her sister.
 * Lize has phobia on being underwater and dislikes the sea in general because during her childhood the First Prince often tugged her foot until she submerged underwater with the Second Prince singing JAWS theme nearby.
 * In later 2019, Lize moved to Tokyo following Ange's request. She was originally not allowed to move away from Helesta, but was allowed by her mother after her mother heard Ange also moved, as long as Lize lives close enough from where Ange does. Ange said now in Virtual Tokyo they live close enough to easily go out to eat together anytime.
