Yayanehi

Yayanehi (ヤヤネヒ) is a Japanese Virtual Youtuber that debuted on March 26th, 2018. It is a god that came to Earth with an intention of taking over the world, but has decided to simply interact with humanity for the time being instead.

Personality
Yayanehi is presented as quiet and reserved, speaking softly and addressing its viewers respectfully with honorifics. it is often tired due to the earliness of its streams, and this furthers its soft-spoken presentation; it sometimes combats this with a shot of alcohol. As a god, Yayanehi often distances itself from its audience, referring to itself as Kami (God) and everyone else as Ningen-san (humans) when speaking about current events or places it has visited. It claims to have an ambition for world domination, though it hasn't put forth any efforts to this goal yet.

Beneath the presentation of a god, though, lies a kind, sometimes clumsy being. Yayanehi loves eating curry and playing the piano, but it largely spends its time speaking with its audience during streams. It holds a morning show on most days of the week; during this stream, it speaks with its audience, describe the weather in the Higashi-Nakano district of Tokyo, read that day's star-oracle, and play piano. It occasionally streams games like ArkKnights; it enjoys these games, but sometimes grow frustrated if things aren't going as planned. This can lead to a breach in its usual demeanor. It has only streamed one horror game to date.

Beyond this, Yayanehi enjoys singing and creating videos. As such, it has uploaded multiple covers of various songs to its channel, as well as two original songs and many short jingles.

Background
Yayanehi came into existence 113 years ago, but only came to Earth within the past few years. It currently resides in a world of its own creation along with CV.Utada. This world is very similar to the human world, but with minute differences, such as the non-existence of certain places. Within this world, it lives in a small house located in an unoccupied room. The location of this room is unknown, but Yayanehi seems to have some ties to Higashi-Nakano, Tokyo and its weather.

2018
On Mar 26, Yayanehi debuted, uploading mostly short comedy sketches and jingles. It also uploaded its first cover song this year.

2020
On February 29th, Yayanehi performed an overhaul on its 3D model, and this version is still (presumably) in use.

Yayanehi began uploading many more cover songs, as well as an original song. Yayanehi also began streaming its daily "Morning Show" in August, which has become its main, and most recognized, content.

Yayanehi was mentioned in a Youtube video by an anime Youtuber outlining indie Virtual Youtubers. Following this video, Yayanehi begun growing a larger Overseas audience, growing from under 500 subscribers before the video to over 6000 by December 2020.

Though it had been approved for monetization prior to this date, Yayanehi's Youtube channel became monetized on November 21st (JST).

On 20 December 2020 Yayanehi held a trial concert for its community on VRChat. it was a short concert consisting of a handful of songs, and was also streamed live to its youtube channel.

Supporting Cast and Fanbase

 * CV.Utada (CV.宇多田) Is the pink cat appearing on Yayanehi's clothing, acting as a companion to Yayanehi. CV.Utada, being nothing more than a cat's head, desires a body, and has also frequently expressed a desire for thickness (厚み), allegedly being 0.1nm thick. CV.Utada sometimes joins Yayanehi on stream, and tends to poke fun at and bicker with Yayanehi. He also frequently posts facts about Yayanehi on his twitter page. As of December 2020 he has begun occasionally streaming on Twitch.
 * Yayanehi's fans have been labeled as its family (家族) but, as stated earlier, the fans are usually referred to as Ningen-san (人間さん). Due to Yayanehi's status as a god, many fans have united under the idea that they are a religious cult, though Yayanehi denies this; CV.Utada is the pope of this supposed cult, and supports the idea against Yayanehi's wishes.

Trivia

 * CV.Utada runs an unofficial discord server known as the バチ缶 (Vatican). This name is a pun on bachi (バチ), which means divine punishment, and 缶, which is pronounced Kan, and also means the word "can" when translated to English, meaning the server is a Can of Divine Punishment.
 * Those within Yayanehi's audience that refer to themselves as "cultists" tend to don yellow raincoats, as CV.Utada once said that Yayanehi loves curry, but thinks of all yellow things as curry. These cultists wish to become food for its god, but Yayanehi has stated that humans taste bad, and offers it no substance.
 * Yayanehi's greeting (ぽっこんつ おはネヒ) is a misspelling of the word ぽんこつ, which means trash/junk, followed by a combination of おはよう (good morning) and the last two characters of its name (ネヒ).
 * Yayanehi always denotes its timezone as YST (Yayanehi Standard Time) while streaming or making announcements. This timezone is identical to JST (Japanese Standard time), but is technically defined as JST+/-12.
 * Yayanehi does not have arms. The insides of its sleeves are supposedly voids, but they can often be seen as just being empty.
 * Yayanehi sneezes a lot, no matter her condition or the time of day; she allegedly has a sensitivity or allergy to cedar tree pollen.
