Profile
A fairy who lived in a lush forest. Supple like a flower in the breeze, cheerful and optimistic.

Personality
Pomu tends to be friendly, kind, and passionate. She's known for her chaotic antics while streaming, such as adding wotagei mix chants during karaoke or playing with her goXLR's voice changer. Her sassy side especially comes out when bantering with her viewers. Pomu proclaims herself to have the "biggest PP energy," and on her schedules, her days off from streaming are labeled as "PP energy restoration" days.

She becomes very passionate when discussing her favorite topics, such as idols, maid cafes, or her cat Pomusuke. She's not afraid to fawn over cute girls, and enjoys flirting with Elira.

Background

Fans

 * Due to fans imitating Pomu's catchphrase, "I'm Pomu!", there is a running joke that her fans are also, to a slight extent, Pomu.

Identity

 * Pomu's species is a forest fairy.
 * According to Pomu's intro video, she comes from Virtual Neverland. Because people don't believe in fairies anymore, she is losing her magic powers and had to become an OL (office lady). Looking for ways to restore belief in fairies, she did a lot of research on the Internet (which also turned her into a "cultured" fairy). After discovering anime and VTubers, she decided to become a VTuber herself, determined to become the world's strongest fairy and achieve world domination.
