Kaela Kovalskia

Kaela Kovalskia (カエラ・コヴァルスキア) is a female Indonesian Virtual YouTuber associated with hololive, debuting as part of its Indonesian (ID) branch third generation of VTubers alongside Vestia Zeta and Kobo Kanaeru.

Profile
After taking over her great blacksmithing teacher's forge, she felt a lack of excitement in her life.

So, she decided to be free and depart on a journey to find rare smithing materials, one of which was rumored to be under the building of a certain "idol group" in town.

She also loves challenging herself and has a peculiar taste when it comes to foods!

Personnality
Kaela appears as a pretty calm person. She barely raises the voice even when she becomes angry. Kaela is known for her particular laugh, as she always laughs silently. She likes flirting a little with her chat as well and other VTubers like Vestia Zeta. Kaela is often teasing other people.

She seems to have another personality named "Skia". Skia is supposed to be more skilled than Kaela, having a higher voice and a more audible laugh.
