Profile
"Your kind intentions will definitely earn a response"

- Hoshimi

From a certain hamster country in a distant world, this girl is currently a trainee maid at virtual Akihabara’s “Maid cafe·Ham”. She has an unrivalled fervour for games, throwing all her hard-earned work salary into purchasing-hoarding-pulling all nighters in an addictive yet unsustainable cycle. To give her own self-control some serious thought, after pondering a good while, Hoshimi selected the method of livestreaming. With this she can obtain even more abundant purchasing funds while simultaneously controlling her own gaming time in an effective way.

Appearance
Hoshimi has short, off-white hair with hamster ears and blue eyes. She wears a maid outfit and has a red umbrella on her pockets.

Her third anniversary outfit consists of a white, yellow and blue color scheme. Hoshimi wears a yellow beret with a blue and yellow bow, red ribbons, an off-the-shoulder dress with a sunflower around her waist, and white and yellow shoes with wings on the back.
