Profile
''I'm Nadeshiko, and welcome to my garden of dreams~ I stream ASMR, history, and whatever catches my eye! Stay here and rest a while (or forever), okay?''

Appearance

 * Yoisaki Nadeshiko (2022) has purple eyes with white flowers as pupils. He hair is white with a slight purple and blue tint with white flower hair clips on both sides. She wears a black and or white wavy skirt, decorated with frills, flowers and bows, with a 2 layer white underskirt. She has an asymmetrical leg wear design - wearing a white sock and a bridal garter on her right leg and a single-leg pantyhose on the other. Most often she wears her hair tied into buns with twintails, but can also wear her hair loose.
 * In her earliest content, Nadeshiko had no consistent model but depicted herself as a white-haired girl with an ahoge, wearing an open yukata with detached sleeves tied over a short dress, along with frilly thigh-high socks, and a flower decoration in her hair.
 * PNG: Nadeshiko appears as a girl with a gentle expression and pink hair with an ahoge. She wears a purple flower-print yukata with detached sleeves, and maid-style white trim around the shoulders. This is accompanied by frilly white thigh-highs tied with pink ribbon, a matching choker, and zori sandals. A flower is clipped to her hair.
 * Live2D: Nadeshiko appears as a small girl with shiny eyes, and fluffy pink hair with an ahoge. She wears a sleeveless white sailor dress, an open purple jacket that hangs loose around her shoulders, and mary janes. Both her sailor collar and her shoes are indigo with red ribbons, matching the colors of her eyes. This outfit sometimes includes a white beret with indigo trim. She used a self-drawn PNG version of this design shortly before her model debut.
 * Live2D (alternate outfit): As above, but wearing a dark purple strapless yukata-like outfit with a pleated skirt and detached sleeves, under which she wears a white leotard-style sleeveless top. She wears this outfit with a flower decoration in her hair, white thigh-high socks with frilly trim, and okobo platform sandals.

Background
Her Twitter account was created in May 2021, and her Youtube channel was created on 22 May 2021. In the time building up to her completed streaming setup, she released regular prerecorded "practice videos" - mostly consisting of a simple illustration and voiceover - while interacting with viewers in chat through Youtube Premiere.

Nadeshiko debuted the first time as a PNG Vtuber on 24 July 2021. This stream, which was "[planned] to be quite long", lasted around 5 hours - a record which would not be broken until December of that year.

2021
On 30 October, Nadeshiko debuted her Live2D model. Nadechama unlisted all her 100+ previous videos, including her practice content and her debut stream as a PNG Vtuber. These videos would later be privated entirely.

On 3 November, Nadeshiko 's birthday celebration, she also revealed her alternate outfit.

On 11 November, Nadeshiko began hosting some of her streams on Twitch.

On 4 December, Nadeshiko held a celebration for reaching Affiliate status on Twitch, which she had achieved the previous week.

2022
On 9 July, Nadeshiko redebuted with a new model, along with her new identity, a witch princess. She also changed her new emoji from a Torii to a Fleur-de-lis.

On 31 August, she announced that she became a Twitch partner.

2023

On 2 June, Nadeshiko announced her new model debut to happen on her anniversary - June 18th. 

Fans

 * Along with a new identity as a witch princess, her new fanbase name is called "Darklings," which is a combination of "Dark" and "Darling."
 * Her original fan name was "Badgers" (sometimes "Badgerbros" in early streams). They are depicted in art with a mujina-inspired design - small, featureless pillowcase-like creatures, who befriended Nadeshiko when she drew faces for them on sheets of paper and taped them to their bodies. Early designs also feature a flower decoration similar to Nadeshiko's.

In-Jokes and Nicknames

 * Due to her love for idols and (mostly) seiso style, her growth from humble beginnings, and notoriously another VTuber freaking out at the thought of swearing in her presence, Nadeshiko's fans have nicknamed her "the Tokino Sora of EN tubers".
 * Nadeshiko sometimes claims to be the CEO of a company named "NadeshiCo.", of which her viewers are employees. This includes describing some streams as "board meetings". After she began streaming on Twitch, where her channel points are named "Nadeshicoin", she has been accused of rigging the economy: adding redeems like "Love Confession" but increasing their costs to absurdly high numbers when no one is looking.
 * Nadeshiko has often referenced losing hair due to stress, leading to nicknames like Hagechama/Baldchama.
 * After she once used a microwave to dry a plushie, fans have joked that Nadeshiko will microwave badgers as punishment for misbehaving.
 * Nadeshiko is sometimes claimed to be a collective hallucination that her fans are having, who will disappear if they take their meds (or conversely, her fans are a hallucination that she is having).
 * When Nadeshiko streams for a particularly long time, fans who feel obligated to watch will sometimes claim to be "trapped in her basement", a gag which appeared occasionally in early streams.
 * Nadeshiko is in your walls.

Miscellaneous

 * Her (old) species is youkai (explicitly a zashiki-warashi in early streams, later unspecified).
 * Her greeting is Konnade (morning)/Konbannade (evening), while sign-off is Otsunade.
 * Her favorite things are Tanabata, spring, breezy weather with a little sun, late night time, pastel pink, omurice with curry, unsweetened cold tea, and rhythm games.
 * Her least favorites are Valentine's/White Day, summer, hot and humid weather, early morning, neon yellow, sugary foods, Starbucks, Apex Legends, and people who talk about feet (though legs are okay).
 * Her goals are to make many friends, improve her English speaking level to native, improve her SNS skills to be cool, make some small merchandise, improve singing skills and make a cover song, do a 24 hrs long stream, open membership, make viewers smile a lot, make unforgettable memories with viewers, and get good at fighting games.
 * Her waifus/oshi are Shirakami Fubuki and Murasaki Shion from hololive, Ars Almal and Pomu Rainpuff from Nijisanji, Cheshire and Yukikaze from Azur Lane, Shirokane Rinko from BanG Dream!, Yazawa Nico and Tsushima Yoshiko from Love Live!, Ibarahime (Sleeping Beauty) from SINoALICE, and Yakumo Yukari and Chen from Touhou.
 * Prior to Uruha Rushia's termination from Hololive, Nade described her as a role model for the kind of VTuber she wanted to be, citing how she had a close relationship with her Fandeads, and managed to be small and adorable without coming across as childish. However, if a hololive member retired and she were asked to take over their character, she thinks it would be easiest on both ends for her to become Gawr Gura.
 * Speaking on why she shifted her focus from Youtube to Twitch, Nadeshiko cited the lack of need to create thumbnails, faster access to emotes (at a time when her growth was stalling just before the 1000 subs milestone), more accurate view numbers, and raid culture making it easier to interact with other VTubers.
 * Her Twitch channel once featured an "Insult" redeem, but it was removed after a single use as she felt that regularly insulting her viewers would clash with the laid-back atmosphere she was aiming for.
