Saruei

This is a nickname; her real name is Rael.

Rael (known by her screen name  'Saruei') is a female independent Virtual YouTuber and illustrator. She has been on Twitch since 27 April 2016 but made her 2D debut on 7 August 2021.

 

Profile
A cybernetically enhanced bounty-hunter from a future timeline, born from an artificial embryo and raised in a brutal and heartless environment without family or friends. One day, she became trapped in our timeline when a mission back through time went wrong. During her time here, she discovered a strong love for hentai and video games as in her world, sexualization of all forms had been outlawed. Now she streams drawing and playing games in hope of establishing a new life for herself, accepting that she won't be able to return home.

Personality
Rael is best known for her extremely straight-forward nature, always letting you know exactly what she thinks, and doesn't believe in saying nice things just for the sake of being nice. While she may come off as cold at times, deep down she really does care and wants her viewers and friends to be the best versions of themselves. Having been called a "tsundere" at times, she has coined a term "fuckudere" that she prefers. Trying to suck up to this VTuber with flattery probably wont end very well.

She is a self-proclaimed degenerate, and openly embraces her love for hentai and lewd art and loves to share her interests with her viewers - such as her favorite video games, music and shows. However, despite being lewd, she's often unexpectedly naive at times, though this may be due to her malfunctioning neuro-chip leaving her with incomplete English. She is an extremely hard worker and always has a project - or several - on the go, constantly working to improve her streams and art.

Her art streams are usually pretty chill, involving various art tips, talks about her life, and chatting with viewers while enjoying some good music. Her gaming streams are usually much more energetic and never a slow moment. Though she gets easily scared in horror games, she still keeps her wits about her enough to make jokes and comments that keep the chat laughing and hyped.

Background
She joined Twitter in March 2016. Prior to becoming a VTuber, Saruei did mostly art streams on her Twitch channel. She is known for drawing her favorites characters from games and anime in swimsuits or sexy poses, including Vtubers.

Saruei officially confirmed her plans to debut as a VTuber on 26 June, 2021 in a tweet where she showed off her VTuber model face.

On 11 July, 2021, she uploaded a video on Twitter, showing off more of her VTuber model and announcing her debut stream in early August on Twitch.

On 7 August 2021, she debuted on Twitch with an introductory stream, peaking at 4,800 viewers. On that stream she displayed everything that she prepared for debut, her animated starting and ending screens with her own BGM for both, as well as a lore video and much more.
