Luzyca

Luzyca (ルチカ) is a female Japanese Virtual YouTuber and former member of the defunct group Amaryllis. After the dissolution of Amaryllis in September 2018, Luzyca continued individual activities on YouTube.

Personality
Luzyca is an otaku vampire VTuber with the personal motto "I want to spread everyone's "likes"! I want to be a catalyst for liking!" Her main channel focus is on tokusatsu media and Twisted Wonderland, but her channel also features gameplay videos, voice acting, karaoke streams, and Gunpla builds.

Luzyca does various tokusatsu and anime watchalongs, with her specialty being the Super Hero Time live watchalongs where she comments on the newest episodes of Pretty Cure, Super Sentai, and Kamen Rider as they debut on Japanese television.

She does informational streams, like lecture videos for beginner tokusatsu fans and discussions with her fans about their favorite media.

When she gets really excited, she makes high pitched noises like a bat. She tends to go "ahh!" when excited and "bababababa" when surprised.

As a vampire, she's fine with sunlight and can eat a little bit of garlic. She likes blood, but these days prefers tomatoes.

Her backstory is covered in "lullaby~", a doujinshi made by her character designer, Miki Purasu.
