Arurandeisu

Arurandeisu (アルランディス) is a male Japanese Virtual YouTuber endorsed by hololive's branch Holostars. He is a member of its first generation, alongside Hanasaki Miyabi, (formerly) Kagami Kira, Kanade Izuru, (formerly) Yakushiji Suzaku and Rikka.

Personality
Aruran is seen as a fatherly person by both fans and fellow Holostars, as well as other VTubers, earning him the nicknames "Papa", "Arupapa", among other derivatives. His father-like personality makes him a good tutor figure, making him good at teaching topics to viewers, as he has held several streams teaching subjects such as science-related topics, for example, immunization, and Japanese internet slang. He is also open to learning things from other people, as shown in his English slang learning streams.

Profile
An Italiano who always tricks people with his dandy looks and the actual personality he has.

A Mr. Nice who is calm and collected (at least, that is what he wishes to be), he has a bad sense of direction. He is also the kind of person who tries before thinking when it is up to new challenges. When he plays games, he sort of empathizes and gets into the character’s role a bit too much.
