Personality
Subaru is extroverted and tomboyish in nature. She is confident, hardworking, and always optimistic, even in situations that would discourage most people. This is in part because she is likely the one holoIdol who has gone through the most trouble in her life as she was born with a hole in her heart (Ventricular Septal Defect i.e VSD, which mean the wall that separated the left and right side of the heart didn't close correctly and created a hole) that threatened to kill her by the time she was 14, got ran over by car and even had her house burned down, which was the final straw that pushed her desperately into joining hololive, going so far to pretend to be an otaku to get accepted, which was successful yet ineffective due to its fakeness.

Because of her overwhelming life experience, she usually acts like a tsukkomi (straight man), pointing out the ridiculousness of whatever other members are saying or doing, and in doing so makes her the butt of many jokes. But that doesn't mean she is incapable of smiling, as she always finds a way to smile and joke herself.

She has a silly habit of saying "shuba shuba shuba" to express excitement or contentment.

Appearance
Subaru has a stereotypical tomboyish appearance, accentuated by her short hair, and her baseball fan attires, with a red with white cap turned backwards, a white and yellow-striped jersey, accompanied by a blue pea whistle, white and red shorts, a pair of thigh high socks, one white and the other red, and a pair of white tennis shoes with yellow laces. she has tied to her left hip a yellow hollow plastic megaphone (used in chants during baseball games) with a yellow piece of fabric.

Trivia

 * Her kanji readings for her familial name "Oozora" literally means "Big Sky" or "Great Heavens".
 * Although without kanji it may be unclear as to what her personal name means, the official kanji for Subaru「昴」 can be used to mean "to unify" or "gather together".
 * Her character designer is Shigure Ui who is also a VTuber. She originally did not make video contents herself and only appeared in other (mostly hololive) VTubers' videos before officially debuting on 18 May 2019.
 * One of her most infamous in-jokes is her impersonations of Donald Duck during her ASMR streams stream. The joke was even taken further away during her collaboration live-stream with Roboco on 31 January 2019. The stream was intended to be the debut of her 3D model, but instead Subaru appeared as a 3D render of a little white duck wearing her signature baseball cap
 * Subaru is responsible for giving the nickname "YAGOO" to Motoaki Tanigo (the CEO of COVER Corporation) as a result of accidentally misreading his name.
 * Subaru is quite open to her viewers about unfortunate events that happened to her in the past, one of the examples is on Subaru's collaboration stream with Ookami Mio, Subaru stated that one of her reasons for joining hololive is because her house burned down and she needed money for a new place to live, she also used to take multiple part time jobs before becoming a full time virtual youtuber.
 * She is likely the worst in hololive at horror games, screaming at even the tiniest things.
 * In her early days Subaru invited Maimoto Keisuke from Nijisanji to do a collaboration stream, which was later revealed to be the turning point for Maimoto who almost quit his VTuber career and sparked his joy to keep striving as a VTuber, and also firmly set up the friendly rivalry between hololive and Nijisanji, with talents from both companies beginning to collaborate more often.
 * Like Usada Pekora and Minato Aqua, Subaru established her own construction company in the Minecraft hololive JP server named Oozora Kensetsu, her notable building is Shubangelion, a towering muscular duck building wearing Subaru's famous hat holding Sakura Miko's pixelated head on its right hand and Usada Pekora's pixelated head on its left. However, Subaru stated that Oozora Kensetsu is no longer a company, it's more like a group where anyone can join and leave anytime.
 * Current Oozora Kensetsu member consist of Himemori Luna and Natsuiro Matsuri.
 * Subaru came up with an original wrestling move (though she thought it already existed) called the "Oozora Subaru-style neck & back breaker" in holo Grafiti, also known as "Oozora Subaru-style Sheepcide" due to her using it on Tsunomaki Watame. The move has since been adopted a real pro wrestler, Great-Oh-Khan.
