Profile
Hey! It's Minon 💎

I want to sing a lot and bring everyone smiles!

Personality
Minon has a sweet and kind personality, taking her time to read almost all comments and even translate English ones. She is also very appreciative and easily excitable whenever she sees fan works of her, to the point of her even quote retweeting every single one of them on Twitter. She loves to sing and also plays the piano. She sometimes tends to turn random words into short songs, which her fans call "Random Minon Noises".

Minon has a cute and laid-back way of speaking, but easily gets excited or panics at the smallest happenings during her streams. She gets a bit sensitive (in a joking way) about her chest size whenever her chat teases her and at times, she goes into "yandere mode" and zooms her face close into the screen, sometimes even pointing the camera at her chest and saying "Look closely, I'm not flat!".
