Personality
Her personality can be described as "pure and all-loving." Lamy is soft-spoken, kind, and gentle, but somewhat shy and easily flustered. Both her friends and fans refer to her as "Lamy-mama" due to her motherly aura.

She is close with the rest of the fifth generation of hololive, Shishiro Botan especially. The two are known for their playthroughs of horror games, with some commenting on Botan acting like a protective husband for the terrified Lamy (despite the former clearly enjoying Lamy's reactions).

While Lamy was originally touted as one of the more "seiso" members of hololive (similar to the traditional idol-like Tokino Sora), this has since come into question by both the fanbase and other holomembers due to occasional moments of lewdness, some yandere tendencies, and (most of all) her fondness for alcohol.
