Ceres Fauna

This name is officially written using the Japanese name format, the family name is Ceres.

Ceres Fauna is an English Virtual YouTuber associated with hololive, debuting as part of its English (EN) branch second generation of VTubers alongside Tsukumo Sana, Ouro Kronii, Nanashi Mumei and Hakos Baelz.

Profile
A member of the Council and the Keeper of "Nature," the second concept created by the Gods.

She has materialized in the mortal realm as a druid in a bid to save nature.

She has Kirin blood flowing in her veins, and horns that are made out of the branches of a certain tree; they are NOT deer antlers.

"Nature" refers to all organic matter on the planet except mankind.

It is long said that her whispers, as an avatar of Mother Nature, have healing properties. Whether or not that is true is something only those who have heard them can say.

While she is usually affable, warm, and slightly mischievous, any who anger her will bear the full brunt of Nature's fury.

Background
Following the success of hololive English in 2020 and 2021, COVER Corporation announced auditions for a second batch of English members from 12 February to 26 March 2021. Twitter accounts for the five new members were created in June 2021 and YouTube accounts created on 26 July 2021.

Teaser videos for the new generation began on the official hololive English YouTube Channel in August 2021. On 1 August, "Prelude" revealed a story of gods creating the four concepts of space, nature, time, and civilization. On 14 August, "Omen" described the creation of avatars of those four concepts plus that of the primordial force of Chaos, revealing five silhouettes. On 17 August, "Council" revealed the five new hololive English members and announced a grand debut scheduled for the coming weekend. Although the traditional term "generation" was not officially used to refer to the new members, who had been referred to as "hololive English Generation 2" by fans, the new members nonetheless formed a group known as "-Council-".

Upon conclusion of the Council debut PV, all five new members' Twitter and YouTube accounts were revealed, and each made their first tweet.

On 17 August 2021, around 24 hours after the initial announcement, Ceres Fauna reached 100,000 YouTube subscribers before her debut. However possibly due the abnormally growth of a channel with no content, her channel lost a lot of its subscribers.

Ceres Fauna's debut is scheduled for 21 August 2021 at 11:30 AM PDT, 7:30 PM BST, or 3:30 AM JST on 22 August.

Trivia

 * The name "Ceres" refers to the Ceres ancient Roman goddess of agriculture and fertility. It is also the name of a dwarf planet or large asteroid.
 * "Fauna" is an English word referring to the animals of nature. It is also a name of Roman origin, as the name of a goddess of animals, nature, spring, and fertility, and is used as a female given name.
 * Fauna describes herself as a "druid." Originally a type of priest among Celtic cultures of ancient Britain, about which little is known, the druid was popularized by Dungeons & Dragons as a type of spellcaster with a special connection to nature, first appearing as a playable character class in Eldritch Wizardry (1976).
 * She has kirin blood in her veins. The kirin is a four-legged horned mythical creature originating in Chinese mythology, where it is known as the qilin. It is said to be one of the three most powerful mythical creatures, along with the dragon and phoenix.
 * She has a mole under her left eye, similar to Ninomae Ina'nis. Coincidentally, her first tweet was a pun, something Ina is famed for. Her first tweet, "oh deer", may refer to the antler-like tree branches in her hair.
 * With her green hair and deer-like antlers, she is compared to independent VTuber Haruka Karibu. Unlike Haruka, her "antlers" are actually tree branches.
