Vestia Zeta

Vestia Zeta (ベスティア・ゼータ) is a female Indonesian Virtual YouTuber associated with hololive, debuting as part of its Indonesian (ID) branch third generation of VTubers alongside Kaela Kovalskia and Kobo Kanaeru.

Profile
She is the mysterious 7th recruit of The Secret Archive Unit that has a full license to collect virtual data.

Despite her being a promising rookie, who is also known as codename V.7, she turns clumsy when things are not going exactly according to the manual.

It was initially a lonely mission to infiltrate the virtual world, but now she had found comfort here. Will this mission end up leading her to a new destiny instead...?

Personality
Zeta adopts quite an adorable and curious personality similar to her favorite animal, cats. At the same time she is quite fearless as shown in her Outlast 2 and in late parts of DEVOUR collab w/ Kaela & Kobo. Even refusing to get backseated unless she is really lost, disliking hime-plays and stream snipes like in APEX streams.

She likes flirting, teasing and complimenting other girls, but in return she is easily disturbed. The first thing making her upset is calling her a cat. Ironically, she is also in pure conflict with Axel Syrios since they know each other: while Axel repeats she is a cat, she answers by calling him a dog (what Axel denies as well). Despite her strong side, she also revealed a hint of her soft spot which she stated that she is the kind who easily cries on an especially sad scenes. She also has various "Pon" (clumsiness) moments in most of her streams.

Zeta is frequently denying her wrongs as long she is not caught red-handed. She is well known for her mistakes and her clumsy side. As such, she had been called out by her viewers for roughly copying/pasting Kureiji Ollie's video description during her debut week. It also pass by having difficulties controlling her words, saying sometimes by accident lewd phrases like IRyS.

Appearance
She has long silver hair with bangs long enough to cover part of her light blue eyes. She has a braid and black ribbon, with pointed buns.
