Yuniiho

Yuniiho is a female Italian VTuber and Streamer. She has been streaming on Twitch since 7 October, 2019, but didn't make her 2D Vtuber debut until 7 October 2020. She is a rare pink retriever, and a freelance artist. She is best known for her relaxing art streams and love of pesto. She is independently produced, but also a member of the Twitch team Vyugen as of September 2021.

Personality
Yuniiho is very upbeat and excitable, though this may not show when she is focusing on her artwork. During her art streams, her attention often gets tugged between interacting with her chat and working on her commissions, occasionally leading to not much work getting done. She has a strong appreciation for "culture", and isn't afraid to discuss or show more lewd art during her streams. On the other hand, she will sometimes put up a façade of purity, even going as far as scolding her chat for things like hand-holding and hugging. She is rather self-critical of her artworks, this becoming most apparent when she reviews her older works during streams.

Due to her nature as an artist, the majority of her streams involve her working on commissions. She makes sure to take breaks though, occasionally putting on music that allows her to bounce around or shout along with the lyrics. She occasionally has faux-meltdowns when speaking about deadlines, and especially when someone mentions "taking breaks".

She has floppy dog ears; one pink and one white. She wears a black beret, The knot of which being replaced by basil leaves. She has a very fluffy pink tail with a white tip. She wears full length tights, and her shoes are black and shiny, with basil ornaments. She wears a collar with a golden Chevron tag, referencing fellow Vtuber DyaRikku.

Yuniiho's clothing has green stitching and string laced throughout it. She wears a white, collared blouse with a green ascot. This disappears behind a blue, soft-fabric overall skirt that lands at mid-thigh length. The skirt has a front pocket that Yuniiho uses to store various art supplies. Paint blotches of various colours cover Yuniiho's clothes and skin. When she gets angry or "excited", her eyes and the paint covering her body stain a deep red.
