Profile
The star known as Gliese 6667C and space's greatest thief, Kaneko Lumi, is here! After traveling the universe for millennia, a shining blue planet caught her eye. Curious about the Earth and the creatures that inhabt it, this young, mischevious star is here to cause mischief and bring light to all that look upon her.

Personality
She loves playing challenging games, singing, and learning everything she can about the Earth and its valuables! Previously very perky and jovial her on-stream persona has solidified into a more of a coolly polite yet very earnest, occasionally bratty form. Her habit of reading chat nearly every moment makes for a constant back and forth of opinions and emotions and encourages viewers to try and either make her laugh or surprised, both of which she likes to put on full display when it happens. Hardly a pushover she is however quick to draw a line in the sand when her comfort zone is violated, which has previously driven away certain people who thought they could control her. Just like many in the company her love of tangents easily overtakes the gaming content.
