Kuramochi Meruto

Kuramochi Meruto (倉持めると) is a Japanese Virtual YouTuber affiliated with NIJISANJI, debuting as part of the unit "Idios" (いでぃおす) alongside Igarashi Rika, Koshimizu Toru, Ishigami Nozomi, Sophia Valentine, Kaburaki Roco, and Shishido Akari. Previously, she was enrolled as a student in VIRTUAL TALENT ACADEMY (VTA).

Profile
Love cute things. I will never forget my daily efforts to become a girl who looks good in what I love. The bear in her hand is "Lune." Is there a secret tool in her belly?

Personality
Meruto is an extremely cheerful girl who likes chatting a lot. Much like her genmate and ex-VTA student Ishigami Nozomi, Meruto can quite often bursts into loud laughter when talking, to the point that it is now considered by many fans as her signature trait. However, that impression would change radically when it comes to singing; she performs a magnificent singing that is considerably different from her normal voice, which is quite popular by both fans and fellow NIJISANJI livers.

Appearance
She has medium length pink hair that ends in a light purple tinge and a side ponytail. She has blue eyes with black hairpins and a black polka dot hair tie ribbon.
