Tenma Maemi

Tenma Maemi (天満 マエミ), casually called Mii-chan, is a female Japanese Virtual YouTuber and a member of Phase-Connect, debuting as part of its First Generation alongside Rinkou Ashelia, Pipkin Pippa, Fujikura Uruka, Hakushika Iori, Shisui Michiru and Utatane Nasa. She mainly speaks English in her streams.

Profile
A mysterious little fox claiming to be a college student. She appears to be smart, kind and innocent, but harbors an unexplained fixation on a particular rabbit.

Personality
Tenma is a dynamic streamer who likes having fun with her viewers and streaming partners. Depending the game she is streaming, she is often putting special assets on her own avatar. For example, she likes disguising as a character from the said game. During her last stream on South Park: The Stick of the Truth, she even used for this occasion a full customised South Park character like avatar.

She is used to teasing everybody around her at any occasion through many ways : proposing weird ideas, telling about her most spicy life anecdotes, gaslighting, or acting toxic during competitions.

Tenma has anger issues and broke her (already damaged) controller while playing "Shadow of the Colossus." Her reactions generally can be intense, particularly if she gets caught by surprise; the sudden NSFW scenes in the South Park games caused several blood-curdling screams.

In front of difficulties, she is often swearing until she manages to do what she wants or until she gives up. Towards her audience, she likes acting such as a tyrant. When she sees them trying to fool her from the chat, she likes replying to them in a very rude or threatening way. The same goes with the rest of Phase-Connect.

She has her own sense of what is supposed to be romantic. Sometimes, she can be seen aggressively flirting with an attractive female NPC in a game or another female vtuber, but she also especially likes muscled men. She often jokes about that by mentioning her dream is to create an army of naked, muscled men.

Appearance
Tenma is particularly short, measuring only 130cm (4'3") including her ears. She has white hair in a bob cut and a pair of white fox ears with grey tips. She has two pink bead-like ornaments in her bangs, located immediately next to her eyes. Her outfit consists of a striped black-and-white work shirt with a short white tie, a khaki sweater, a white skirt, grey stockings, and white boots with pink trim, as well as a removable dark gray hoodie with pink trim and metal plates. Her cat, Theo, usually sits on her shoulder.
