Hanya

"'Welcome to the Trash Cult, recruits! I wouldn't ask about the ball pit...'"

Hanya is an Australian female VTuber and artist. She is the leader of the Trash Cult and owner of the bar Elixia, and is a homunculus disguised as a raccoon (sometimes a cat) anime girl. She's known for her contagious energy and loudness on stream, the playful banter she always has with her chat, as well as her amazing singing voice showcased on the occasional karaoke stream and covers she has released.

She is associated most closely with her fellow Australian VTubers Jean Faymas, Clio Aite and Mako Fukasame.

Personality
From the start of her streams, Hanya is known for her quirkiness and high level of energy. She usually sways around on her starting screen while setting things up in anticipation of stream. She occasionally starts the stream with a song to set the tone. Hanya, throughout the stream, has continuous banter with her chat, who usually pipes up using her Raccolyte TTS redeem. She describes herself as a hyperactive ball of energy whose daily struggle is learning to breath.

Hanya is known to be kind and sweet to her viewers, cherishing their company greatly. She has expressed before that she doesn't play any games outside of streams and prefers to play them in the company of her Raccolytes. She also often hosts watch-along nights in her community Discord and commentates throughout the viewing. During these viewings, Hanya is more relaxed and open to chatting about things dearer and more personal to her. As well as topics that would be considered hot material to be discussed on stream due to some polarizing opinions. Though she has recently become more open to discussing and speaking her mind freely on stream as well, after being received well during her Discord watchalong nights.

One of Hanya's many interests is in tarot cards, of which she has many decks and books. She has shown them off on stream, as well as offering a redeemable tarot reading to the Raccolytes. She also has an interest in trading card games, keeping a collection, and opening packs of Pokémon cards on stream. Apart from showcasing her tarot card and Pokémon card collection, she also on occasion does handcam streams to show off special sweets and treats bought by her. Hanya as well has previously cooked on stream.

Hanya is very open to trying out new things on stream, as with a lot of her handcam streams and game streams. She has tried out and made sweets for the first time ever on stream, as well as gone through multiple games with the Raccolytes.

She is known to be very dedicated to her craft. As a self-taught artist, Hanya created and illustrated her own model. She frequently draws herself and, occasionally, her friends. Though not only in illustrating, Hanya holds the content she releases—streams and the like—to a high standard. In her dedication, she has put a lot of care to what she does, and aims to put out the best show for her beloved Raccolytes who find their way home to the Trash Cult.

Hanya has expressed interest before in making recorded content such as video essays relating to movies and other media, as she frequently already reviews them to smallest detail for her own pleasure and wishes to be able to share her thoughts and opinions to others.

Hanya often sings and does karaoke on streams, and has described those moments herself as basking in the nostalgia behind a microphone.

Appearance
Hanya has pale skin, short chestnut-colored hair with bangs and a heart shaped ahoge, deep red eyes, fingernails and toenails, raccoon ears and tail. She wears a black and red hoodie cut from her chest below over a short, same colored strapless dress.

She also wears a black open toe (which shows her feet to have red nail polish) and open heel thigh highs, as well as a black and gold accented collar affixed with a golden cross.

Lore
Hanya is the leader of the Trash Cult and is the homunculus owner of the bar Elixia.

Background
Hanya was introduced to online gaming very early on by her brothers and shared their consoles. Be it playing with each other or watching each other. Over time, they grew apart and hung out less. With this, Hanya then tried and looked for new people to hang out and play with. In her quest to do so, she tried many different MMORPGs like Graal Online, Endless Online, Puzzle Pirates, Silkroad Online, Ragnarok Online and Trickster Online. In these games, she joined guilds and made friends.

Slowly, the communities Hanya was in through MMORPGs died, with people leaving and Hanya left feeling hurt and discarded. Sometime after this, Hanya then started streaming. Meeting the very first of many Raccolytes to come. Her community of Raccolytes grew to a point where Hanya no longer felt alone. As it continued to grow, it reached a point where she no longer liked playing games alone. She continues streaming, getting to know all the Raccolytes more, having fun together- one game at a time.
