Apricot

Apricot the Lich, also widely known as her nickname Froot, is a female English VTuber and illustrator originally from England who debuted on the 27th of November in 2020. She is one of the first generation members of the American VTuber company VShojo.

Personality
"A bittersweet Lich who spends her days in her underworld castle drawing art. She took a turn to streaming once she realized she could harvest human souls by disguising them as Twitch Subscriptions. She is a hopeless necromantic and hopes to one day own her own Virtual Fashion brand." -VShojo entry

Froot has a very soft-spoken high pitched voice and a very calming demeanor. She is easily embarrassed and has been known to stutter when she is. She is a playful and cute chuunibyou who enjoys creating art, gaming, singing, and just chatting on stream. She enjoys horror of all varieties despite being easily scared. Unlike every other member of VShojo, she is very restrained when it comes to swearing.

Appearance
Froot appears at first glance to be human, but has long pointed ears and four dark purple pierced horns curling back from her head. She has tussled neck-length teal-colored hair with emerald green highlights and long "tails" in front. She has emerald green eyes, and face tattoos which glow green when she's channeling magic. She has a pair of bat-like wings.

She wears a short black and purple off-shoulder dress with a pentagram design on the chest, armlength fingerless gloves, a single thigh high fishnet, spiked heels, a choker, and a silver crown with a skull motif.

Background
On 27 November 2020, she debuted on Twitch with an introductory stream as part of the newly established agency VShojo as first generation with over 13,600 viewers and 18,049 followers after being raided by Nyanners, IronMouse, ProjektMelody, Bunny_GIF, Silvervale, and several other VTubers.

On 13 April, VShojo members Ironmouse, Froot, Silvervale, Veibae and Nyatasha Nyanners played with prominent japanese VTubers Kizuna Ai, Higuchi Kaede and Dennou Shojo Siro in a collab called #VAmongEarth.

Relationships
Froot is good friends with her fellow first generation in VShojo: Zentreya, Projekt Melody, Ironmouse, Nyanners, Silvervale, and Hime. She has created outfits for several of them and worked on their debuts as an artist.

Froot is also friends with several of her indie Vtuber peers including but not limited to Snuffy, Bunny_GIF, FeFe, Comdost, Natsumi Moe, and Momo.

Froot has said that she is a big simp for ProjektMelody and all her friends. She has specifically said she'd like to make a cream pie for Snuffy.

FeFe received a shoutout during Froot's debut for making Froot's ending song Your Lich Goth GF.

Shortly after Froot's debut, Zentreya declared Froot to be her waifu and Froot reciprocated. FeFe tweeted back that she was ready to fight Zentreya for her.

Other

 * She is the first member of VShojo that wasn't an independent VTuber before joining.
 * IRL, Apricot is allergic to cold temperatures, which can cause her to develop a rash and experience hot flashes. This is commonly known as cold urticaria.

 * Her hairstyle is inspired by the Vocaloid character GUMI. Megumin from Konosuba was also a partial inspiration, but not the main inspiration.
 * A rejected name for her NSFW art hashtag was #Phallictery.
 * A lich is a type of undead spellcaster originally popularized by Dungeons & Dragons. The lich first appeared in the 1975 supplement Greyhawk. It is thought to have been inspired by the 1969 short story The Sword of the Sorcerer by Gardner F. Fox, which used the term "lich" (an archaic English word for a body) to describe an undead. The term was used similarly in Clark Ashton Smith's The Abominations of Yondo (1926). Froot's horns and spined crown are reminiscent of the iconic D&D lich Acererak, who appears on the cover of the D&D 5th edition Dungeon Master's Guide (2014).
 * A phylactery is the receptacle in where a lich stores their soul. This allows them to cheat death as a lich cannot be slain unless their phylactery is first destroyed.
 * Guest starred on the Lewdcast podcast, hosted by Projekt Melody, Ironmouse and Silvervale.
