Profile
A fox goddess enshrined in a Japanese shrine who's been a shut-in for the last 50 years. She might sometimes use outdated slang or mannerisms.

Personality
Fumi often gives off a mature impression due to her appearance and voice, but is actually fairly mischievous and sassy. She sometimes does rather peculiar types of streams, such as counting all the hairs on her head or separating a furikake into its separate components.

Despite what her official bio might suggest, she has a particular fondness for sci-fi anime, especially Gundam, and enjoys building gunpla on streams.

Fumi often keeps tabs on the rest of Nijisanji, including its overseas branches. She regularly holds a news entertainment show called NiZIP, in which she summarizes recent events in Nijisanji on Youtube or Twitter, and sometimes invites other Livers as guests.
