Nemu

Luna the Magikarp is a Female English VTuber who debuted in early May of 2020. She is commmonly called Nemu, pronounced "neemu". She is independently produced and not currently affiliated with any Twitch Teams.

Personality
Nemu has a calm demeanour and a no-nonsense attitude. She is skilled at video games, and a self-described "really big nerd". She finds joy in pursuing the more niche side of gaming such as breaking them through bugs and researching the statistics behind them. Throughout her streams, she is very interactive with her chat, often managing to engage in challenging gameplay, read chat, and keep up a conversation the whole time.

Appearance
Nemu has long indigo-blue hair tied at the back and topped with a small silver crown. She has deep blue eyes and wears an off-shoulder white t-shirt bearing the Japanese text 「水族館」, "suizokukan", meaning "aquarium".

Background
Nemu became a VTuber almost by accident.

While suffering from COVID-19 in April 2020, she learned that hololive English had opened auditions, and decided to apply. On 23 April she posted an original character, which she used as a static avatar in her Twitch art streams. On April 30 she drew a new character design which would be used for her final model.

She created her YouTube channel on 1 May 2020, and throughout the first week of May she created her own Live2D model from scratch, teaching herself rigging in the process. She continued streaming on Twitch throughout May on a regular schedule in order to build up a portfolio of streaming work, and on 21 May 2020, she submitted her audition to holoEN. While her application was ultimately unsuccessful, she continued to stream on Twitch.

2020
Nemu announced her first 1,000 Twitch followers on 13 July, celebrating with a 24-hour Minecraft stream. On 7 August she announced a 3D model for use in VRChat.

Nemu was made a Twitch Partner on 8 October 2020. At this point she had 7.8k followers on Twitch.

Starting on 29 November, Nemu played in Leaflit's weekly Dungeons & Dragons game.

Fans
Nemu's fans are known as the Fish Friends, and can be found on her official Discord, the Fish Bowl.

Quotes

 * "Sand is a spice. But instead of adding flavor, it adds texture. It's like rice puffs, like in chocolate. It doesn't really add any flavor to it, but it definitely adds texture."

Trivia

 * Nemu created her model and began streaming on Twitch as a VTuber for the purpose of creating a portfolio for her application to the original hololive EN. When her application was unsuccessful, she continued to stream on Twitch. Nemu originally did not intend for the model to be used seriously.
 * Nemu is tall, and comes from a family of tall people. While this is not obvious in her streams, she appeared much larger than her co-hosts in a collab stream where she was depicted to scale next to Leaflit and Minya September.
 * Nemu sings the Magikarp song for each follow. Its lyrics are as follows: "Karp karp magi magi karp karp magi magi karp karp magi magi karp karp karp karp karp"
 * Her streams often feature excessive headpatting.
 * Nemu often plays Runescape Classic and the Minecraft mod RLCraft.
 * She has the ability to take the form of a mauve stinger jellyfish.

 * She's not a fan of Bethesda games.

 * She once fell asleep eating chocolate in bed.
 * Nemu used to have a soup plate. This is because it would cool faster, so she could eat the soup faster.

 * She is scared of whales. A whale's cry is so loud that it crushes your lungs, causing them to fill with blood. Sound travels much better through water. However, she likes dolphins and sharks, describing sharks as "beautiful", "extraordinarily cute, and very sweet", and "absolutely adorable". She enjoys swimming with sharks.
 * She likes to swim at edges of deep underwater ravines, where you can look over the edge into the abyss.
