Mori Calliope

Mori Calliope is an English Virtual YouTuber associated with hololive, as part of its English (EN) branch first generation of Vtubers alongside Ninomae Ina'nis, Takanashi Kiara, Watson Amelia, and Gawr Gura.

Personality
Calliope is equally excited by both rapping and "reaping". Her favorite weapons include the flail, a medieval weapon made from a spiked metal ball on a chain.

Although fluent in English, Calliope often fails to understand current modes of speech, such as the use of contractions or modern slang. She is easily flustered by romance, leading some to call her the "tsundereaper".

Background
She was introduced simultaneously on both hololive's and hololive's English Twitter accounts and on hololive English's YouTube channel in a small video with the rest of the first generation on 8 September 2020. Her Twitter account was created on July, but only made her first tweet on her official introduction on 8 September. Her YouTube channel was created on 16 July but she debuted on 12 September also releasing her first original song: "失礼しますが、RIP♡" or known in English as "Excuse My Rudeness, But Could You Please RIP?"  a rap song written by herself.

Trivia

 * In Japanese, her name is written 「森美声」.
 * "Mori" is a Japanese surname, written with the kanji 森, meaning "forest". Mori is also Latin for the verb "to die", as in such phrases as "memento mori".
 * "Calliope" is written with the kanji 美声, normally read "bisei", meaning "beautiful voice". It is read かりおぺ, "kariope", an non-standard reading of the kanji.
 * In Greek mythology, "Calliope" is the name of one of the Muses, a goddess who presides over epic poetry. It is normally pronounced "ka-LY-o-pee", which is how Calli pronounces her name.
 * She like slaying people, dark spaces, flowers, stuffed dolls, sweets, the color red, mafia movies, rap (especially Japanese rap; she claims that she met the genre in the Underworld because it was dead), red wine, and “Death Sensei” (the Grim Reaper) as she is a reaper in training.
 * Because of her passion for rap, Calliope released an original song on her debut stream, she also announced that she would release her first EP for free to thank the support received, including four songs, an instrumental and an acapella version, some of them written by herself.
 * She dislikes crowds, coffee, hospitals and cantaloupe.
 * Her favorite animes include Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Made in Abyss and Dr. Stone.
 * Her favorite games include games from FromSoftware, Ghost of Tsushima, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, weird RPG maker games, and platformers (preferring side-scrollers).
 * Her goals and dreams include becoming a great track maker and mixer, collaborating with other VTubers and people, supporting her fellow first gen members, becoming an expert in Japanese, writing and performing an anime or video game opening song, and writing a full album.
 * Calliope was the first member of hololive English to debut.
 * She claims that the Underwold mimics the aesthetic of the current era, so it looks mostly like a modern city.
 * Her debut stream experienced some lag, she claimed it was because of the bad internet connection on the Underworld.
 * She is the first hololive EN member and seventh hololive member overall to join official Hololive Subreddit as a moderator.
 * During her second live stream, Kiara revealed her crush on Calliope, much to Calliope's dismay. This has to do with the fact that Kiara is immortal (unless she's eaten), so no matter how many times Calliope would kill her, she'd always revive. This has resulted in a long-standing running gag between the two, which eventually became the ship "TakaMori".
