Hanachi

Hanachi is a genderless Hispanic Virtual YouTuber from Chile who debuted on April 13, 2019.

Personality and History
Hanachi is a cheerful and optimistic magical being and the leader of MagicaLumina, a magical girl group formed by her girlfriend Risa and her sister, Boomi. She's creative, but her perfectionism stresses her often. Despite being a vtuber, she doesn't keep her real life identity hidden for a variety of reasons, and has expressed that her real life counterpart, (artist and vtuber asset designer Mechokkucity, also known as "The Other Hana") is just a body she occupies to experience the world the audience lives in, an alternative reality where she is a human being and pays taxes. Although The channel originally was created to host her creator's vocal covers under the nickname Hana-C, which is pronounced the same as "Hanachi". Mechokkucity's interest in virtual youtubers led to the creation of a vtuber based on her youtaite persona, and kickstarted Hanachi's vtuber career.

Hanachi's debut was on 13 April, but due to bad comments regarding her model, her original introduction video was deleted from her channel. Her initial appearance can be seen on this post from her twitter account.

Although she didn't have a backstory at first, Mechokkucity started to develop one during early 2020 to explain many things in Hanachi's channel. One of those things is the introduction of herself in Hanachi's lore as "La otra Hana", as well as the presence of another virtual being, Risa (who started as a member of the project behind the scenes, but became her companion on screen later that year). During 2020 Hanachi also went through several 3D modifications that lead to a couple of breaks from the channel.

During late 2020, Hanachi came back from her hiatus, promising she would post more often from then on. Mechokkucity also announced the opening of Hanachi's own website, hanachi.net, as well as the formation of her own vtuber circle, MisfitWorks along with Risa and a new member, Boomi. Hanachi became the leader and face of the group. The vtuber group changed their name to MagicaLumina in 2021, with a new backstory where they take the role of magical girls in an alternate reality, while their real-life counterparts live in another dimension where everything is less exciting. New 3D models were revealed for the group during that year, and a year later Hanachi debuted a brand new 3D model to promote her creators' 3D model services.

Appearance
Hanachi's main color scheme in her current model is red and purple/blue, with a short haircut and a white bangs covering her right eye. She has heterochromia and her visible eye is red, while the eye she covers with hair is teal. She wears a red beret, white blouse, red overalls with short pants and purple accents, dark blue (almost black) gloves, leg warmers and big shoes. Her current appearance is meant to look as if she was a villain instead of a magical girl, because according to her lore "it looks cooler", and it's inspired by the anime franchise Pretty Cure.
