Personality
Shiro has a cheerful and playful personality.

Appearance
Shiro's likeness is roughly based on the character of the same name from the No Game No Life franchise and the Live2D Sample Model Hiyori Momose. He has had two designs, a PNG-tuber by Rune and a Live2D model by Azzypics.

PNG-tuber has light brown waist-length hair with an ahoge and one lock going in front of her face, light blue eyes and fair skin. She wears light grey sailor fuku school uniform with a turquoise bow on her chest and a gold crown with the letter "N" on it.

Live2D model has brownish-orange waist-length hair with a large side ponytail, a few unkempt strands and one lock going in front of her face, violet blue eyes and light skin. She has two outfits:
 * Comfy outfit consists of a turquoise skirt, a very light purple shirt with a turquoise collar and an yellow tie, very light purple thigh high socks and brown school shoes. On her chest she has a few decorative elements, such as pogostick and mushroom pins, as well as a name tag written in Japanese.
 * Maid outfit consists of a white short-sleeve shirt with black decorative stripes above chest, frilly white apron with shoulder straps, dark brown corset with a red string, black and white wrist cuffs, black skirt with white frills, very light purple thigh high socks and black mary jane shoes.

Regardless of outfit, Shiro's model can wear either a gold crown with the purple letter "S" on it or an orange birthday hat with red and purple stripes. She also has cat ears the color of her hair with white fur inside them. Depending on the situation, Shiro can switch the eye color to red as well as disable eye highlights.

Birthday-related

 * Stemming from Shiro answering "this year" to the question about when his birthday was, there's a running joke that Shiro's birthday is every day. During post-stream raids, raid targets are usually gaslit into believing it's actually his birthday and congratulate him. Others, like Camila, are in on the joke and keep it up.
 * The phrase "It is not my birthday!", often said by Shiro in response to mistimed birthday wishes, has led to development of additional lore that Shiro "steals birthdays" from people around him, proudly exclaiming that the birthday is, in fact, not his.
 * It is said that Shiro is the god of Birthdays, using a power beyond our comprehension to manipuate birthdays, Shiro giveth and Shiro taketh away.
 * Shiro's actual birthday is on the 27th of March. Of course, this means that it's the 27th of March every day, every month, for the entire year.

Other

 * N and S on the model's crown stand for "Neuro" and "Shiro" respectively, as his first design was made in the context of him being a Neuro-sama community moderator. However, there are other verions, such as S and N standing for "Shiro" and "Nya", or being a North-South joke.
 * Despite being a cat person, Shiro usually only meows per request (usually for a certain sum of channel points) and substitutes this onomatopoeia with "cat sound" or "cat word". As a part of donation incentive during his charity marathon, he meowed more than exactly a 100 times in a row.
 * Shiro has the minimal bits amount on Twitch set at 9999 to discourage donations to him. He also set the amount of advertisements to minimal and said that if there was an option to disable paid subscriptions altogether, he would do that as well. Nevertheless, the community tries its best to support Shiro through remaining means.
 * While the mushroom is a prominent meme associated with Shiro, he doesn't actually like eating mushrooms.
