Nivi The Salmon

Nivi the Salmon, or simply Nivi (ニヴィ), is an independent female English Virtual Youtuber who debuted on 26 January 2021.

Lore
Once upon a time, a little salmon is born under the waters of the ocean somewhere in this world. When she was born, the rest of the salmons already left, and she felt lonely and lost. Then suddenly, a sound came, "Is someone out there?" and the baby salmon answered, "Mommy? Daddy?" And the baby salmon starts to swim but she didn't find anyone. And from there, the baby salmon's adventure starts and her name is Nivi.

After that, Nivi starts swimming to search for her parents but she can't find different female and male salmon. Until one day, a salmon police meets Nivi and said "Little salmon, you shouldn't be here. You should be at school." and from there, the police brought Nivi to the school and Nivi's first day at school in Salmon University begins.

Personality
Nivi is a soft-spoken and shy girl, who speaks in a gentle voice. As seen from her first "330 challenge" stream, Nivi felt anxious to reveal her voice and said that she'd "hide herself" just after asking if the viewers can hear her. After a few voiced streams though, she starts getting used to it, and has become more interactive with her fans, either in her Youtube streams or her Discord server. Her gentle voice is also adored by her viewers, due to its soothing tone.

She is also kind and friendly to everyone, including her family and fans. She greets a lot of her viewers individually in her streams, and makes them feel welcome and comfortable. She does exhibit sadism in some occasions, but it is seen more as a playful joke for laughs than an actual habit. She likes to have fun with people, whether it be while playing games, drawing, or talking about various things. Because of all this, she gives off the impression of a caring and playful sister.

She can be somewhat forgetful at times, to the point where her fans often remind her about things she should remember. This can range from game mechanics or tasks, to her personal condition such as drinking water and the like. Because of this, she is thankful to her fans, who keep an eye out on her well-being.

Background
Her Twitter account was created in January 2021, and her YouTube channel was created on 24 January 2021.

Trivia

 * She is talented at drawing, as seen from her many drawing streams. Part of this is due of her dream of becoming a professional artist.
 * She has a little sister who she calls by the name "Peanut". She made a couple of appearances in Nivi's streams.
 * She sometimes uses the waving hand emoji (👋) to "slap" her viewers due to various reasons. One of her channel emotes is similar to said emoji, and is sometimes used in a similar fashion.
 * During free-talk supermarket streams, and sometimes in other streams, she occasionally mentions and/or presents strange-looking cuisines, such as a "raccoon lasagna", a "sausage croissant" resembling a snail, etc.
 * Nivi also has another persona, though it's created by the viewers rather than Nivi. It was named "Vini" by the viewers. In reality, "Vini" is the 2d fish model that Nivi used at the start of the "330 challenge", and is still being used in a few streams. She uses this model mostly in funny moments or when she wishes to use her "bonking pan" without using her bunny outfit.
 * According to Nivi, her first karaoke stream was actually done sooner than she had planned. The reason was because one of the subscribers got access to a private stream where she was practicing songs. Thinking that it wasn't fair for her other fans, she did the karaoke stream earlier than planned.
