Personality
Luna has a sweet and innocent personality, although due of her status as the Princess of Candy Kingdom and as the youngest hololive member, she is a bit pampered and always asks for the older hololive members' attention, especially Natsuiro Matsuri's. Luna also showed hints of sadism and yandere personalities traits although it's not that prominent.

Being a 0 year old, Luna speaks in a childlike manner that almost resembles a toddler who just learned how to speak. She also often adds verbal tics like Nnnaaaaa~ (んなあああああ~) and Nanora (なのら) in her words. She also refers to herself in third person.

Luna was introduced along with the rest of the fourth gen on 25 December 2019. Her Twitter account was created on November 2019, she made her first tweet on 31 December, her YouTube channel was created on 4 December and her debut stream was on 4 January 2020.
