Tokimori Aoi

Tokimori Aoi (時守あおい) is a female English Virtual YouTuber and a member of the English Virtual YouTuber agency PRISM Project. She joined PRISM as part of the 1st Generation, along with Hoshifuri Iku and Ibuki Meno.

Aoi's first language is English, but she also speaks Japanese at a communicative level.

Her content on her YouTube channel is mostly music related, but she will also occasionally play video games and have chatting streams with her viewers.

Personality
Aoi is kind to everyone she interacts with, from her viewers to other VTubers. She is always joyful and energetic whenever she is live. She is also modest most of the time, and tries to dodge sensitive topics and words. She rarely swears during streams; as of the 26th of April 2021, she has dropped an F-bomb on stream exactly twice.

Unlike her genmate Iku, she doesn't crack under pressure while singing.

She tends to make mistakes very often and takes her time in solving a problem. She prefers calm and slow games, like puzzle games and visual novels, but she also has a penchant for playing rhythm games. She is also often late for the streams, but her fanbase, the Timekeepers, are already used to it.

Her characteristic catchphrase is "Hi guys!". This happened because she overused the phrase so much in her first broadcast that many viewers pointed it out to her on her Twitter and it stayed that way ever since.

Appearance
Her overall design is based on the theme of time. She wears on top a black cloak with a blue ribbon on her right side. Underneath that is a blue dress. She also wears blue tights and black boots.

She has light blue eyes. She has long very light greyish-blonde hair which ends at the hip area. Due to her being a fox girl, she has a pair of fox ears on the top of her head, alongside her normal human ears. Depending on her likeness, she can wear or take off her black hat with a golden clock in the middle and with a blue ribbon on it. Most of the time, she can be seen wearing her hat.

Profile
Just like the rest of the PRISM Project members, Tokimori Aoi is a special agent from the year 2120, which has been sent back to the past to prevent the threat of humans losing interest and passion for others.

She is a timekeeper, which means that her job is to watch over the flow of time.
