Pomu Rainpuff

Pomu Rainpuff (ぽむ れいんぱふ) is an English female Virtual YouTuber affiliated with NIJISANJI EN's first wave "LazuLight", alongside Elira Pendora and Finana Ryugu.

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

Personality
Pomu is friendly, cheerful, and mischievous. She is a hardcore otaku who becomes very passionate when discussing her favorite topics, such as maid cafes or her favorite idols. She's not hesitant to fawn (or in some cases, perv out) over cute girls, including fellow Livers.

Her streams are known for fun, silly antics such as wotagei mix chants or spontaneous roleplaying, though she may react fiercely when slighted. Pomu enjoys roleplaying, and prefers games that allow her to fool around. She enjoys messing with her chat and finding ways to catch them off guard. At the same time, she tries to be considerate of her viewers and puts a lot of importance on showing her appreciation.

Overall, Pomu's a very hardworking and creative person who genuinely enjoys streaming. She always aims to provide a quality experience for her viewers, and can sometimes be a bit stubborn. However, she also gets anxious easily, and can be rather harsh on herself when her plans don't work out or she doesn't meet her own standards. She has a remarkable vocal range, but tends to downplay her own singing abilities and is more confident in her dancing. Though sometimes sassy toward her fellow EN Livers, others have described Pomu as sweet, kind, and supportive behind the scenes.

Background
On 30 November 2020, NIJISANJI opened auditions for their new English branch, with the audition period lasting until 15 December. Youtube channels for NIJISANJI EN's first wave were created on 21 April 2021, and their Twitter accounts were created in May 2021.

On 12 May 2021, NIJISANJI announced the upcoming debut of their English branch's first group, LazuLight, revealing a teaser with the new Livers' designs and voices. Their Twitter and Youtube accounts were also made public at this time. Pomu's Twitter account initially got suspended, but was restored later that day.

Debut
LazuLight began their activities on 16 May 2021 (JST/GMT) as part of a special debut program on the NIJISANJI World channel hosted by Hana Macchia and Bonnivier Pranaja. Pomu was the first of the group to debut. Her debut stream featured a hand-drawn introductory video, as well as her own rendition of "Hamtaro Tottoko Uta" including wotagei mixes.

Afterwards, all three members of LazuLight appeared on the main channel's special program, where each of them was given a piece of the moon from Staff-san. Pomu would later name her piece of the moon Area PP1. Immediately after the debut program, LazuLight released their first original song, "Diamond City Lights." This song was composed by Mafumafu, and the lyrics were written by Nelson Babin-Coy and Hoshikawa Sara.

Identity

 * Species: Forest Fairy
 * Color: #258E70
 * In Japanese, her name is spelled in hiragana rather than katakana because she finds it cuter.
 * In addition to English, she speaks some Japanese due to having lived abroad. She studies in her spare time to communicate better with Japanese viewers and Japanese Livers.

Lore

 * 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.
 * She comes from the Rainpuff clan of fairies.
 * She lives in a treehouse. It's implied that any time she appears to be streaming from somewhere not in the forest, she's actually still in the forest, but using a green screen or a cloth backdrop tied to two trees.
 * She can use magic to enlarge her body from 9 cm to 156 cm, but her brain remains the same size.
 * There is a restaurant in her forest that she likes to go to because it has a heated bidet that she can sit on for warmth.
 * She appears to have multiple, wiggly arms that can bend at extreme angles.
 * Initially, she would claim that the extra arms were just other Pomus assisting her,
 * In VRChat and handcam streams, she can perform a hand trick in which she forms a wave with her hands. This is sometimes considered proof that the wiggly arms are canon.
 * Her WIXOSS card depicts her with numerous wiggly arms.
 * She has the power to transform her wings, allowing her to fold them up, turn them into something else, or put them away completely. In her maid outfit, her wings transformed into green hair ribbons.
 * She canonically doesn't wear panties.

About fairies in general

 * When she was a child, Pomu would play nasty tricks on others by making up stories to terrify them, sometimes as revenge for tricks that they played on her. She assures everyone that this is just a normal part of fairy culture.
 * Fairies are born from flowers, so 70% of a fairy's body is made of nectar, just like how 70% of a human's body is made of water.
 * Fairies count their age in flowers, with Pomu being "one flower old" at debut and gaining a petal each year.
 * Most fairies are 13-14 cm tall, making Pomu short even by fairy standards.
 * As a fairy, Pomu is particularly susceptible to being imprisoned in a glass jar.
 * The native language of fairies is not English, but rather "fairy-go" (as in "fairy語").
 * Fairies are capable of flight due to the size of their wings and their lightweight bones.

Alter egos

 * Da Pomky, her artist alter ego. Has a mustache and a beret, and speaks with a French accent. Appears during certain drawing streams, usually during which he draws EN Livers with his eyes closed.
 * Pomura Inpuff, her "onee-san" alter ego. Speaks in a deeper, more mature voice, and doesn't wear the ribbon or the hairpins. Also serves as the titular character of the Pomura Arc. For April Fools 2022, Pomu changed her Twitter icon and name to Pomura Inpuff of NINISANI EN.
 * Pomurai Npuff, her "otaku" alter ego. Speaks in a nasally, stereotypical weeaboo voice, wears swirly glasses, and sometimes wields a katana.
 * The record-holder of Minecraft, an otherwise unaliased Pomu from an alternate timeline who played for 10 years in a single Minecraft Hardcore playthrough (which would surpass the actual record of 5 years). Unfortunately, the chat fell into a coma for all 10 years, during which the alternate Pomu grew a beard and was awarded a medal. Shortly after chat awoke, this Pomu was apparently assassinated by a nurse. She was later said to have survived, and is now the CEO of S.C.A.M. with 10 million subscribers on her channel.
 * Umop, another fairy from Pomu's forest who performed dances for Pomu's karaoke on one occasion. Typically associated with VRChat's 2A-7-0Q default avatar.
 * Censored Pomu, a cursed-looking red Pomu who speaks using the goXLR's lowest pitch settings, typically accompanied by an eerie BGM. An early incarnation manifested from Pomu's angst over being unable to play Minecraft with Elira. She turned Pomu's forest bloody and vowed to remember the viewers after a thousand years. Censored Pomu later returned in a slightly different form when Pomu tried on Reimu Endou's hat, giving her a melted, black-and-red appearance. Usually, Censored Pomu appears as a punishment for the chat.
 * Poom Guy: During Doom streams, she replaced Doom Guy with her own face on the in-game overlay, and called herself the "Poom Guy."
 * Pomugar: During Pokemon streams, she featured a Gengar kigurumi over her model, and called herself as "Pomugar." Pomugar also appeared on Elira's ending screen for a brief time. Pomugar made a brief reappearance during Pomu's birthday stream, where she combined the Gengar kigurumi's hood with a gothic lolita dress.

Inside Jokes

 * Pomufication/I'm Pomu!: Early on, Pomu's channel featured a pinned clip of her exclaiming "I'm Pomu!", immortalizing it as her catchphrase. Fans began to imitate the clip, joking that they, too, were Pomu. Later, in a Q&A marshmallow stream, Pomu suggested becoming a Pomudachi as a cure to "not-Pomuism", reasoning that since "Pomudachi" contains "Pomu", all Pomudachis are, to a slight extent, Pomu. The details vary, but the process of turning into a Pomu is called "Pomufication."
 * Big PP Energy: Pomu proclaimed herself to have the biggest PP energy at debut, with PP standing for "Powerful Pomu" or "Pomu Power." Pomu ends her streams with "OtsuPP", and her days off from streaming are labeled "PP energy restoration." The happiness that viewers receive from Pomu's streams may also be called PP energy.
 * S.C.A.M.: Pomu claims to own a company whose name can be abbreviated as S.C.A.M. She insists that the name should be spelled out rather than read as an acronym. The full name of this company varies depending on her mood, but is often "Super Cool Absolute Maniac", "Stocks Contracts Auction Market", or "Spaghetti Comes at Midnight."
 * Rival-kun: She used to do long-distance running as a child, and had a rival who lived next door. Her rival would get up early at the same time as her to practice, and she was still mad at him for beating her in their races. After hearing this story, Finana and Elira, as well as Pomu's own viewers, would joke about Pomu and her rival being "tsundere" toward each other.
 * Sand Curse: When she was young, her family went on a trip to the desert, where they were warned not to touch the sacred sand, but her mother did so anyway. Pomu later suffered a severe eye affliction, and only recovered thanks to medicine from one of the local tribes. According to Pomu, her family has been cursed with bad luck ever since.
 * Time Glove: After running into some confusion with reading time zones, Pomu declared that she would abolish the current system of telling time, and that everyone would instead use their thumb and forefinger to tell the time based on the position of the sun. After realizing this failed to address the reason for time zones existing, she proposed giving everyone a special "time glove" that would tell the exact time regardless of the user's location. Pomu later added a time glove to her membership emotes.
 * NINISANI/2232: Pomu has mispelled "NIJISANJI" on multiple occasions, the most infamous of which was "Welcome to NINISANI" in a tweet to Rosemi Lovelock prior to the latter's debut. As a result, "NINISANI" (2232) is sometimes joked to be a knock-off brand of NIJISANJI (2434). Alternatively, "Ninisani" or "2232" may sometimes be used to refer to the NIJISANJI EN branch.
 * Cowabunga! CHOO CHOO: A call-and-response in which Pomu exclaims "Cowabunga!" and the chat replies with "CHOO CHOO". This started with Pomu trying to play a trick on Selen and Elira by pretending it had been her catchphrase since debut.

Pomusuke

 * While not strictly a mascot, Pomu frequently references her pet cat Pomusuke during streams. She usually refers to him as a "stinky boi," which she says has less to do with how he smells and is more due to his "stinky personality."
 * Pomusuke has a tendency to sleep in Pomu's bed, and Pomu sometimes wakes up to find him sleeping on top of her.

 * On 25 August, Pomu did a Pomusuke cam stream.

Narrative Streams

 * The "Pomura arc" is a series of interactive, CYOA-like streams set in an alternate world that has undergone complete Pomufication.
 * Pomura Inpuff: On 23 August, Pomura went on a date with the chat (personified as "Pomudachi Chad"). Pomura revealed that she was originally a separate person who was subjected to Pomufication when Pomu took over the world, but managed to resist her brainwashing and joined a resistance movement. She and a de-Pomufied chat tried to rob a bank, but they were both captured by the real Pomu and re-Pomufied. This stream ended with the line, "There will never be a Pomura takeover."
 * Pomu Goes to Court: On 16 December, Pomu was put on trial (by other Pomus) for various antics in the past few months, with the chat serving as Pomu's lawyer in a similar fashion to the Ace Attorney series. Toward the end, Pomu was questioned about Pomura's whereabouts, but the trial was interrupted by the courthouse catching fire. While everyone else evacuated, Pomu gave chat a photo of Pomura's apartment, revealing that Pomura was still alive, and she herself had been turned into a new Pomura by the anti-Pomufication resistance. The story ended with a brief, glitchy transmission from Pomura, followed by a mostly-concealed message concluding with the line, "Pomura will take over."
 * Nina made a brief appearance as the judge, but left soon after the trial started.
 * This Pomura later reappeared on April Fools to take over the channel, but was discovered by Pomu police and shot. Her current fate is unknown.
 * Other narrative streams:
 * Chat's Bizarre Valentine Adventure: On Valentine's Day, the chat attended a speed-dating event with help from Cupidmu. The five girls chat encountered were Fairy Pomu, Maid Pomu, Bunnygirl Pomu, Bigfoot Pomu, and Gyaru Pomu, with the latter three having endings and Bunnygirl Pomu's ending being the canon one. After hooking the chat up with Bunnygirl Pomu, Cupidmu attempted to extort matchmaking fees from the chat, but was gunned down by law enforcement.
 * This stream was intended to set up for Pomu's "Fukashigi no Carte" cover, which she was unable to release due to song permissions.
 * This is also set in a world that has undergone complete Pomufication, but it is not canon to the Pomura arc.
 * NIJISANJI EN Under the Mistletoe: On Christmas Eve, chat was invited to the NIJISANJI EN company party, where Pomu the Red-Nosed Rainpuff had them try to kiss each Liver under a sprig of mistletoe. For each Liver, the chat could either ask where to kiss them, or spin a wheel for a chance at a kiss on the lips, with the Livers reacting in various ways to either type of kiss. The actual Pomu was not invited to the party, so the Red-Nosed Rainpuff offered a best-out-of-3 chance to kiss her, but chat lost.
 * The locations for the guaranteed kisses, as well as all kiss reactions, were chosen by the actual Livers.
 * Finana, Alban, Reimu, Ren, Mysta, and Vox didn't send their input in time, so the chat wasn't given the usual kiss options for them.
 * All six members of XSOLEIL arrived as a single cursed abomination, as Pomu was unable to finish their reactions in time.

Miscellaneous

 * She has a wide vocal range, and is great at character impressions.
 * She enjoys making cursed image edits.
 * Her character designer, Itiso, regularly watches Pomu's streams and can sometimes be found in the chat.
 * She writes her lowercase a's as double-story 'a's rather than single-story 'ɑ's.
 * Due to having sensitive skin, she has developed a consistent skin care routine.
 * She drew her introductory video herself, as LazuLight was not allowed to commission assets for their debuts to keep the launch of NIJISANJI EN a secret.
 * Due to her wings usually being offscreen, a common joke is to mistake her for an elf. Staff-san also accidentally referred to her as an elf on at least two occasions.
 * Several other EN Livers have referenced Pomu in their debuts:
 * In her lore video, Rosemi Lovelock discovered Vtubers when she saw Pomu flying around and pollinating other flowers. She later became an intern at S.C.A.M. working directly under Pomu.
 * In her lore video, Millie Parfait developed an addiction to a substance called "Pomu Leaf", which led her to become trapped on Earth, crying that she was "scammed."
 * In his lore video, Mysta Rias discovered Vtubers when a bartender showed him a clip of Pomu shouting at Finana during a Crab Game collab.
 * In Sonny Brisko's lore video, a scam artist with Pomu's silhouette appeared as an example of the types of criminals that the VSF deals with.
 * During the ILUNA debut watchalong program, Pomu featured in a short ad for the new Livers' First Step goods.
 * During 2021, she often felt tired and stressed due to her full-time office job, which forced her to maintain a regular sleep schedule and miss out on cross-branch collabs. She switched to part-time on 6 September and quit completely on 10 December, celebrating the next day by streaming Pokemon for 15 hours.
 * At her old apartment, she would stream in her closet, which would overheat during long streams and had little space for moving around in VR. Pomu's current apartment has a dedicated room for streaming.
 * She once sang "God Knows..." 101 times over the course of nine hours, partly as an homage to Machita Chima singing "Freesia" 100 times.
 * During NIJISANJI Koushien 2021, Pomu was picked as a member of Kagami Hayato's team lineup. In the final match, the in-game Pomu struck a home run that shifted the game in Hayato's favor, prompting him to shout, "I'm Pomu! You are Pomu! We are Pomu!"
 * She can't drink carbonated soda and rarely drinks alcohol.
 * On Reimu Endou's birthday, Pomu mistakenly told her "Feliz navidad!" instead of "Feliz cumpleaños!" Since then, Livers in NIJISANJI EN have developed a tradition of singing "Feliz Navidad" on each other's birthdays.
 * She once played Tsukino Mito's NIJISANJI personality quiz game, with her result being Shizuka Rin.
 * Out of the seven deadly sins, she considers pride to be her greatest flaw.
 * She was one of the first EN Livers to try VR, and helped advise Selen Tatsuki during the "NIJISANJI Express" project.
 * Due to spending more on physical goods, she generally has less interest in gacha than her genmates, with Princess Connect being the only gacha game that she plays regularly.
 * Reiminiscent of a traditional "fair folk" fairy, she occasionally jokes about consuming human meat or eating children.
 * She owns a PS4 with a copy of P.T., and wants to get other EN Livers to play it during off-collabs.
 * Fans sometimes joke about her not having a nose.
 * Contrary to popular assumption, she had very little input on her second outfit.
 * She once missed a meeting with Staff-san due to a collab during which she, Selen, and Enna looked up NSFW pictures of Garfield.
 * Her favorite holiday is Halloween. Each year, she holds a watchalong of Over the Garden Wall near Halloween.
 * She's afraid of the Tasmanian Devil from Looney Tunes.
 * She likes characters with white or blue hair, including Rem and Echidna from Re:Zero and Godot from the "Ace Attorney" series. She also likes characters with eyepatches, blindfolds, or otherwise concealed eyes, such as Godot, Naked Snake, and fellow Livers Elira and Maria.
 * During her vacation, Pomu had a 24/7 VOD relay running until her return. At 227 hours, 1 minute, and 31 seconds long, this relay currently holds the record for the longest stream in NIJISANJI EN and the second-longest in NIJISANJI overall.
 * For NIJIFes 2022, Pomu drew a picture of her room, which was used to create a diorama titled "The Big Pomu Power Room". This diorama featured a pool of blood coming from under her closet door, Mito's birthday tapestry, and a rocket-shaped bed with an Elira dakimakura. The diorama was shown briefly on the NIJISANJI official channel.
