Momosuzu Nene

Momosuzu Nene (桃鈴ねね) is a female Japanese Virtual YouTuber associated with hololive, debuting as part of its fifth generation of VTubers alongside Yukihana Lamy, Shishiro Botan, Mano Aloe and Omaru Polka.

Personality
Nene is a cheerful girl who loves to talk and sing. She dreams of becoming an idol and having her own anime opening song. She's very clumsy in games but shown impressive luck, displaying good aiming skills in Apex despite being a beginner or having 100% win rate in the first Among Us collaboration stream. She's overconfident about her gaming skills, calling herself Supernenechi. She is also complete beginner at Minecraft, falling a total of 16 times in her first hololive server Minecraft stream and failing Roboco-san's magma test. She was also seen as brute who indiscriminately attacked NPCs, animals and objects in the first 5th gen Craftopia stream in which Lamy scolded her for it.

She is (in)famously known for "husband-zoning" the audience, particularly non-Japanese viewers (dubbed by her fans as "Nene's husband collection"), something completely opposite of what Shirakami Fubuki is infamously known for; she also refuses to "divorce" from her viewers or be called "friend".

She also flirts with other members of hololive using her handsome voice (イケボ), calling members such as Lamy as "my Lamy" (俺のラミィ) or sending virtual kiss sound (ちゅ) to girls. She admitted that she has many wives which include Lamy, Suisei, Ina and Kiara.

She also revealed that she applied for hololive four times. She did not get an immediate reply from first three applications so she kept submitting an application until they called her. Polka and Lamy thought that Nene is the toughest 5th gen member and easily bounces back to being optimistic.

She often streams during lunch time (12:00 JST) chatting with fans while eating or drawing pictures. She displayed decent drawing skills and had collaborated with Houshou Marine and her designer, Nishizawa 5mm, for a drawing stream. She has shown closeness with her fellow 5th gen member, Polka, both playing Mario Kart and Clubhouse 51.

She often adds -aru at the end of her sentences similar to Kagura of Gin Tama. However, she stopped using it lately (October 2020) because she is not confident about it.

 * Her Kanji are as thus:
 * 桃 (もも、momo) means peach
 * 鈴 (すず、suzu) means bell
 * Much like Kiryu Coco, Nene's voice tone has changed drastically as she continued to stream; in her early streams, Nene had lower-pitched, somewhat boyish voice akin to Shiranui Flare. Nene's voice has gradually shifted to the current one from fall 2020 to January 2021, now having more feminine yet still energetic voice that can be described as a fusion between Amane Kanata's and Sakura Miko's.
 * A day before Nene's debut stream, Yukihana Lamy's stream took place, in which she was introducing her upcoming colleagues, including Nene. During the introduction, she accidentally typed Nene's second name in reverse (鈴桃), resulting in "Suzumomo". Even before Nene's first stream, fans already started calling her Suzumomo.
 * A similar instance occurred during Ookami Mio's haiku stream on 23 February 2021, in which Nene was a participant, where Mio accidentally typed Nene's second name as "Momotetsu" (桃鉄).
 * Since then, getting Nene's name wrong has become a running gag of sort; for example, some of her audiences intentionally typed Nene's wrong during a stream, and during Nene's introduction in a Holo no Graffiti episode, subtitles briefly showed her name as "Momotsuri Nene" (桃釣ねね).
 * Nene’s favorite food is gyoza (Japanese pot stickers). On other hand, Nene dislikes tomatoes.
 * Nene likes theme parks and she wants to open a hololive theme park and include Omaru Polka's circus in it.

 * She is ambidextrous. Originally left-handed, she had to learn to write with her right hand during a calligraphy class. She can use both hands for drawing or writing.
 * Nene is clumsy and does typos a lot. For example, she typed in #新人Vtuべｒ in a tweet before her debut. The tag became #1 top trending in Japan in 7 August 2020. Debuting vtubers also use this tag since then.
 * When given the option to create a new username, she often types in extreme names like "SUPER NENECHI", "NENEMAX", or "Super Hyper Ultra Ultimate Deluxe Perfect Amazing Shining God 東方不敗 Master Ginga Victory Strong Cute Beautiful Galaxy Baby 無限 無敵 無双 Nenechi".
