Profile
"Your kind intentions will definitely earn a response"

- Hoshimi

From a certain hamster country in a distant world, this girl is currently a trainee maid at virtual Akihabara’s “Maid cafe·Ham”. She has an unrivalled fervour for games, throwing all her hard-earned work salary into purchasing-hoarding-pulling all nighters in an addictive yet unsustainable cycle. To give her own self-control some serious thought, after pondering a good while, Hoshimi selected the method of livestreaming. With this she can obtain even more abundant purchasing funds while simultaneously controlling her own gaming time in an effective way.

She has short, off-white hair with mouse ears and blue eyes.
