Introduction
Hello, this is Raffina Higashikata, or Raffina for short! I'm a native Japanese speaker, but I often uses English on the internet! I've been using FANDOM since circa 2018 and made contributions to the many wikis, with currently contributing most frequently to Logopedia as of writing this page (June 2021).

My first experience with VTuber videos was on early 2021 iirc, when searching for some Super Smash Bros. videos, I stumbled onto this clip from one of Sasaki's streams; then this clip of Marine-Senchou battling the same player from related videos tab; I liked Senchou's design and voice, so I started some searching about her. I also watched some more gameplay footages such as Aqua's Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Sui-chan's Tetris 99. Few days later, I found this piece of YTPMV, but at the time I had no idea who is who (though I liked A-chan's design for some reason). Then I discovered Gura through this short animation, which eventually lead to falling into hololive (as well as VTubers in general) rabbit hole.

I was not aware that hololive was basically at both golden and dark ages simultaneously in 2020 until recently (March-April 2021 iirc), so it was bit surprising. Still, I like hololive as well as VTuber community in general, because it gave me some new interest.
