Nemu

Luna the Magikarp is a Female English VTuber who debuted in early May of 2020. She is commmonly called Nemu, pronounced "neemu". She is independently produced and not currently affiliated with any Twitch Teams.

Personality
Nemu has a calm demeanour and a no-nonsense attitude. She is skilled at video games, and a self-described "really big nerd". She finds joy in pursuing the more niche side of gaming such as breaking them through bugs and researching the statistics behind them. Throughout her streams, she is very interactive with her chat, often managing to engage in challenging gameplay, read chat, and keep up a conversation the whole time.

She is known for her quirky behavior. Examples include hosting Pok&eacute;mon tournaments with random and arbitrary rules, positing conspiracy theories linking Knuckles the Echidna to Jesus, singing a song every time someone follows her channel, reading cursed Sonic the Hedgehog fanfiction, having a hand swoosh in from off-screen and pet her head.

Appearance
Nemu has long indigo-blue hair tied at the back and topped with a small silver crown. She has deep blue eyes and wears an off-shoulder white t-shirt bearing the Japanese text 「水族館」, "suizokukan", meaning "aquarium". As Queen Fishe, she wears a small silver crown with a blue gemstone.

Background
Nemu became a VTuber almost by accident.

While suffering from COVID-19 in April 2020, she learned that hololive English had opened auditions, and decided to apply. On 23 April she posted an original character, which she used as a static avatar in her Twitch art streams. On April 30 she drew a new character design which would be used for her final model.

She created her YouTube channel on 1 May 2020, and throughout the first week of May she created her own Live2D model from scratch, teaching herself rigging in the process. She continued streaming on Twitch throughout May on a regular schedule in order to build up a portfolio of streaming work, and on 21 May 2020, she submitted her audition to holoEN. While her application was ultimately unsuccessful, she continued to stream on Twitch.

2020
Nemu announced her first 1,000 Twitch followers on 13 July, celebrating with a 24-hour Minecraft stream. On 7 August she announced a 3D model for use in VRChat.

Nemu was made a Twitch Partner on 8 October 2020. At this point she had 7.8k followers on Twitch.

Starting on 29 November, Nemu played in Leaflit's weekly Dungeons & Dragons game.

Relationships
Nemu is good friends with Leaflit, Minya September, and BungoTaiga. She is also known to be a fan of Nyatasha Nyanners.

Fans
Nemu's fans are known as the Fish Friends, and can be found on her official Discord, the Fish Bowl.

 * "Dante's Inferno is just Jesus fandom fanfiction."

Trivia

 * She hosts a Pixelmon server, with tournaments which use bizarre and arbitrary rules such as "no Pok&eacute;mon with the letter 'E' in their name or "no two Pok&eacute;mon with the same type". She built a gacha machine for items which costs diamonds, and players have spent tens of thousands of diamonds on it.

 * She has the ability to take the form of a mauve stinger jellyfish.

 * She likes to swim at edges of deep underwater ravines, where you can look over the edge into the abyss.
