Yuniiho

Yuniiho is a female Italian Vtuber and Streamer. She has been streaming on Twitch since 2 December 2019, but didn't make her 2D Vtuber debut until 7 October 2020. She is a rare pink retriever, and a freelance artist. She is best known for her relaxing art streams and love of pesto.

Personality
Yuniiho is very upbeat and excitable, though this may not show when she is focusing on her artwork. During her art streams, her attention often gets tugged between interacting with her chat and working on her commissions, occasionally leading to not much work getting done. She has a strong appreciation for "culture", and isn't afraid to discuss or show more lewd art during her streams. On the other hand, she will sometimes put up a façade of purity, even going as far as scolding her chat for things like hand-holding and hugging. She is rather self-critical of her artworks, this becoming most apparent when she reviews her older works during streams.

Due to her nature as an artist, the majority of her streams involve her working on commissions. She makes sure to take breaks though, occasionally putting on music that allows her to bounce around or shout along with the lyrics. She occasionally has faux-meltdowns when speaking about deadlines, and especially when someone mentions "taking breaks".

Appearance
Yuniiho has pink hair with white strands throughout. Her hair is long, but it's tied into two long strands with blue bows. Her eyes are blue, with diamond-shaped pupils and highlights. She has a Labrador's ears; one pink and one white. She has a basil hairpin in her hair, and wears a blue and black French beret. The knot of her beret is replaced by two basil leaves. She has a very fluffy pink tail with a white tip, more so resembling the traditional foxgirl tail. She wears a black legging on one leg and a frilly belt on the other, both at mid-thigh height. Her shoes are mostly white and blue, with white collars and yellow gem accessories on both. Yuniiho wears black gloves with white palms, and a cutout between the wrist and knuckles.

She wears a dress that is white, black, and gold in colour. She has a white collar, with black fabric that stretches over her shoulders and turns into sleeves. The shoulders of Yuniiho's outfit are squared out. The bottom part is a white dress with black and gold-accented coattails. She has a blue tie that runs down the center of her dress's chest cutout. The knot of this tie is covered by a yellow gem. On top of this, she wears a cropped, blue and black hoodie with oversized sleeves. The back of the sweater is cutout, matching the exposed back of the dress. The sweater sits loosely on her shoulders, and her hands are entirely hidden by the sleeves of the sweater. Blue, diamond-esque paw patterns are on both of the sleeves. On her right sleeve, there is a yellow armband that says "pesto" in katakana (ペスト).

Background
The first official concept sketch of what would come to be Yuniiho was posted to her Twitter on 15 November 2019. Yuniiho had already become a Twitch partner on 8 April 2020. She first debuted her Live2D model on her Twitch channel on 7 October 2020. She later made an official Vtuber debut stream on a since-abandoned Youtube Channel on 26 October 2020.

2020
On 3 December, Yuniiho's Twitch reached 20000 followers. Soon after, her Twitter reached 15000 followers on 5 December 2020.

2021
Yuniiho began hinting at "new design" in the winter season, and announced its completion on 13 January, during her daily art stream. She plans to "Re-debut" under this new design. She began doing weekly "spoilers" for the design by showing her audience unrelated pictures of dogs with certain aspects of her new model, like a harness, paint splatters, etc... The first official image of this new design was posted to her twitter on 26 January 2021.

On 1 March 2021, Yuniiho unveiled a model depicting her "true form", a Live2D model of a small, squishy, plush-like pink dog. This model was rigged by DyaRikku, and remains on the channel as a points reward, allowing viewers to make her switch models.

On 6 March 2021, Yuniiho reached 30,000 followers on her Twitch account, celebrating this event on twitter. She held a celebration stream on Twitch 2 days later.

On 18 March 2021, Yuniiho held a stream outlining the twists and turns of her Vtuber family tree. plentiful Vtubers, namely DyaRikku, Merryweather, Haruka Karibu, Rosedoodle, Yomiku, and Ewica joined in on the stream.

On 20 March 2021, Yuniiho revived her Youtube channel as a posting site for small, short clips from her Twitch streams.

On 1 April 2021, Yuniiho initiated a war with fellow Vtuber DyaRikku. This caused a conflict between the #HORNIREVOLUTION and #SEISOCOPS factions. Many other artists and Vtubers joined in on the conflict, and it was decided with a Twitter vote where fans chose a side.

On 23 April 2021, Yuniiho held her first ever subathon, celebrating one year of Twitch partnership. During this subathon lasting over 12 hours, she held many collabs with other Vtubers, and interacted with fans through games and giveaways. All of her subscription goals were met, two of which were made after the prior final goal had been met, and she finished the subathon with over 2000 subscriptions accumulated.

Trivia

 * Yuniiho's favorite pizza toppings are french fries and sausage (especially together). Her love of pesto also spreads to the realm of pizza toppings.
 * Yuniiho's fans will often tease her by wishing her happy birthday on random days, at any given time. This is due to her birthday being on the 24th of July, making her birthday "24/7". This has led to her calling her birthday cursed.
 * When asked, her blood type was "O-Fuck".
 * Though she may preface some tweets or streams with "Ohayuni!", this is not her official catchphrase or greeting.
 * Her ears have the ability to flap up and down, but she only does this on special occasions.
 * Yuniiho has a half-dog/half-whale child with Bao. The child's name is Pestonini, and often appears beside her in her livestreams.
 * Yuniiho is scared of cats, and thinks they're too aggressive, despite saying that dogs can't be afraid of cats in separate instances. The only exception to this rule is a catgirl streamer named Squchan.
 * The combination of her white strands of hair and age of 100 dog years causes some fans to tease her, calling her old and/or a boomer.
