Moona is a shy girl, which is the opposite of her image of a flat faced college girl despite the fact she still speaks in an upbeat tone and a rather unique Indonesia accent. Like Tsunomaki Watame, she loves to bob and weave her head and body around. She worked as a fashion model before showing an interest in joining hololive. She loves to shitpost on Twitter while trying to connect with her fans.

2020
On 14 August, it was announced on the official hololive Indonesia Twitter account that their 1st Gen members would get a new outfit for each commemorating Indonesia's Independence Day.

On 16 August, she debuted her second 2D costume based on traditional Indonesian clothes, and using a ponytail.

Fans

Trivia

 * Moona had PC problems a few days before her debut which forced her to use a laptop instead.
