Henya the Genius

Henya the Genius is a super genius virtual YouTuber affiliated with VShojo.

Personality
Henya is very energetic, fairly sassy, and often laughs at the smallest things. Despite this, she is very reserved and shy in real life.

She is known to use Japanese phrases like "sousousou" and "dayo" even when speaking English. Though her verbal ticks show up even when speaking Japanese, leading her to mix both languages from time to time.

Her usual greeting is "Ohayo!"

Appearance
She has amber eyes and long, wavy white hair with an ahoge and multiple hair pins. She wears a purple jacket that has a boob window with black and gold accents.

Profile
A genius with an IQ of 999. She escaped from a research facility that gathers children with special abilities and retreated into a hyperdimensional space to hide from her pursuers. The cube hanging from her neck occasionally glows white/blue and emits energy, charging all her electrical appliances so she doesn't have to. She likes cats, games, and sweets, and her name Henya comes from the Spanish word Genia (genius), but she can't remember how to spell it (despite her IQ of 999), so she tells everyone her name is 'Henya' instead.
