Artemis of the Blue

Artemis of the Blue is an English-speaking shark VTuber who debuted in October 2020. She streams primarily on YouTube, although occasionally also appears on Twitch.

She is independently produced, and associated with VTuber group Atelier Live.

Personality
Artemis is sweet but bold and seemingly very open. She has the tendency to curse which is a contrast to her normally sweet and soft voice. She’s silly and references meme culture often, and is very lively and fun.

Background
Artemis first became interested in becoming a VTuber in March 2020. She initially planned to be a blonde-haired fox shrine maiden character named Ebi Ishi, and contracted Iron Vertex to prouce her model. In April or May she woke up in the middle of the night with the idea to make a shark character instead, and asked the modeler to change mid-project. She designed the initial concept in Picrew, and was inspired in part by sharp-toothed Idolmaster character Akira Sunazuka.

Artemis' YouTube channel was created on 13 August 2020, with her Twitter account created in the same month. Her Twitch account was created on 15 September 2020.

She received a positive reception even before her debut, reaching over 20,000 YouTube subscribers four days before debut, and reportedly reaching 25,000 before her debut. Likewise, she reached over 30,000 Twitter followers before debut.

A popular pre-debut video depicted Artemis brushing her teeth to the song Creative Exercise from Mario Paint. It was posted on Twitter on 26 September and subsequently uploaded to YouTube by a fan account, where it received over hundred thousand views. Artemis described it as "the dumbest video i've ever made".

2020
Artemis debuted on YouTube on 24 October. Her debut stream had a peak viewer count of over 12,000.

Artemis quickly rose in popularity, reaching 100,000 YouTube subscribers on 6 November. Her Twitch account reached 25,000 followers by the end of 2020, although she had no emotes or subscription option as she was still ineligible for Affiliate status.

 * As a shark, Artemis is sometimes compared to hololive English member Gawr Gura. However, it is a coincidence that they are both sharks. Artemis made the decision to become a shark VTuber in April or May 2020, before Gura's debut. Artemis was also unfamiliar with any other VTubers outside of hololive and had not seen any other shark VTuber before. She is not bothered by the coincidence.
 * In another coincidence, Artemis revealed her avatar on Twitter on 15 September 2020, one week after Gura's first tweet and only three days after Gura's debut stream.
 * Other shark VTubers include MANE SHARK, Kivaara, minnowcandy, Mako, and moenaomii.
 * According to her friend and VTuber Yukiri Kukki on Twitter, Artemis smells like beef
