Shion's introduction.

Appearance & Personality

 * A child that appears in the school in the demon realm (the same school as Yuzuki Choco, Nakiri Ayame and Uruha Rushia)...not really. She is an adult according to herself (???) She claims to be of noble birth and is talented at black magic.(???)
 * Wears purple-themed magic cloak, and has a Cerberus as pet, she always mentions that "she can make an explosion so big it will annihilate Earth if she means it".
 * She is a cheerful and confident magician, who always calls herself a genius (baka), is usually very emotional during livestreams, likes to play with games that feature absurd controls because the genre is the opposite of her (self-proclaimed) genius personality.
 * Mentions that she has to spend MP (maximum MP is 60) whenever she streams. Her livestreams are usually by-talks, gaming and singing, she sometimes also upload songs that she sang. Besides, she is pretty good at reversi, which she sometimes plays it during her streams.

Trivia

 * Uses her own name （シオン，Shion） whenever she is referring to herself, calls her fans「塩っ子」, a combination of 「塩（しお，Shio）」and「子 (zi)」.
 * The star-shaped accessory on her hat is "qianliyan", or "far-seeing", it is also somehow shaped like an eye;
 * The two purple shaped "water droplets" is in sync with her eyebrows, which moves whenever her eyebrows move (not apparent)
 * The two triangles that bind her hair together has been confirmed by the character designer to be set triangles.
 * Through observations of her normal actions, behaviors, what she says and her tone, is acquiescence by most viewers that her mental age is primary school at best. (Hence her nickname "primary school student") When praising Shion, fans like to use phrases used on complimenting children on her, such as "well done", "unbelievable", "you are such a clever girl" etc.
 * Whenever she is beaten in-game or loses to a bet, she likes to scream "Neeeeeeeeeeeee!" This became a part of her personality, which is often imitated by other Hololive members.

Livestream-related

 * While Shion may not have as many characteristics as other Hololive VTubers, most viewers comment that they feel like talking with a close friend instead of an actress whenever she interacts with her fans.
 * Was playing with her model once during livestream but unintentionally made her right hand move up and down continuously. She only realized what she has done after the viewers and Natsuiro Matsuri told her (BAN) in the comments. Attempted to hide the scandal by turning the livestream into a private video afterwards. Unfortunately, her livestream was discovered by Kagura Mea who was the first-ever VTuber to play with her model in the same way, in which she told everyone during her DeepWebUnderground monetization celebration video. (sad)

#have a good dream Murasaki Shion（#いい夢見ろよ紫咲シオン）

 * She has a habit of oversleeping, which leads to her getting late during livestreams. She holds a record of oversleeping for 2 hours*, in which her fans almost immediately guessed (correctly) that she has overslept again at the time. A lot of her fans also tweeted to Hololive (the company Shion is working for) asking hololive to forgive her for oversleeping. Then a lot of VTubers started appearing in her livestream, and it peaked at 1500 viewers, all counting down as to how long Shion can sleep before she realizes that she has a stream that day. Then the viewers started celebrating Shion for breaking her oversleeping record (by chatting with one another in the comment sector). Shirakami Fubuki, also a Hololive VTuber, tweeted the song【WAVE】sang by Shion as a "celebration" for Shion oversleeping for 2 hours. Somehow Shion woke up soon afterwards, and saw her fans all celebrating as she entered the stream while the song 【WAVE】played in the background......
 * Her "oversleeping" has become so famous it became a meme, such that every time Shion is late to a livestream viewers will start saying "you must have overslept, didn't you". Whenever she can make it on time, there will be comments such as "You didn't oversleep today! You did great!" Fans also use the TAG 「#have a good dream Murasaki Shion（#いい夢見ろよ紫咲シオン）」to replace greetings or good nights.
 * After the 18 April stream has ended, the stream reopened due to problems with OBS without Shion noticing. The viewers then joined back in hoping to see something interesting. It was only after Minato Aqua's call that Shion realized the problem. It is then still a small livestream issue. When Shion commented that she was glad she didn't make any strange noises or said something indecent, and was feeling proud of herself, she realized she could not stop the stream as it would restart whenever she tried to stop it. After multiple attempts to end the stream has failed, Shion became emotional and started apologizing again and again. The viewers also stayed with her and comforted her with SuperChat (while at the same time recording the whole incident) until the stream is finally fixed. **
 * Natsuiro Matsuri posted a tweet on 9 June 2019, claiming to start a program called Shion growth plan (which consists of buying presents for her at a regular interval). The first present is a baby plush rattle doll, the second a cap for children (child-sized)

Gaming-related

 * Claims to be talented at reversi and has shown off her skills during livestreams, receiving praises from many of them. However also pleads to viewers not to defeat her so quickly when she opens the floor to her viewers.
 * Started playing Shadowverse at the start of 2019, and had several livestreams of her playing Shadowverse for hours on end (Where is your maximum MP 60 setting?) On 27 February, after ending a Mirrativ by-talk at mid-night, switched to live streaming Shadowverse in Youtube, claiming she just wanted to play a few rounds before she sleeps. She somehow managed to continue the stream without eating, drinking or going to the toilet until noon the next day... (Since she has an APEX Legends collaboration with other Hololive members that day, in order not to oversleep again, she switched to playing a funky game featuring Winnie the Pooh playing baseball for several hours until the collaboration begins).
 * During a VTuber Shadowverse assembly, she was defeated by Minato Aqua in the first round. She later streamed in her own channel asking her fans for comfort.
 * Tried playing Getting Over It for the first time, after initial successes for the first few hours, returned "home" in the end and shelved the game for an indefinite period of time (on the same day).
 * Similarly, she tried Seikro: Shadows Die Twice and again showed a pretty good process at first. After several hours of bloodbath, the floor is littered with (Shion's) bodies. Seikro now shares the same fate as Getting Over It.
 * On 24 November 2018, she slept through a live-stream that was supposed to start at 2PM, while Natsuiro Matsuri and others l frantically messaged her. Shion posted an apology before starting her video. As a result, there was much adorable fan art of her sleeping.
 * it was thanks to a viewer who asked for help by sending a SuperChat to Shirakami Fubuki (who was live-streaming playing Splatoon at the time) who then asked Minato Aqua (collaborating with Fubuki)to help, who contacted Shion and told her the stream was still on to prevent further incidents.

 * Facing accusations from Minato Aqua, Shion's response is?!!

Summary: A continuation of the interactions between Murasaki Shion and Minato Aqua. Since Aqua's house is situated next to Shion's, Shion's mansion overshadows Aqua's toilet, which led to Aqua demanding compensation for the loss of freedom to sunlight. Shion responded by placing a lot of torches around Aqua's cubicle, and adding a sign demanding medical compensation of a trident after getting damage from the berry bushes planted by Aqua.
