Tsukumo Sana

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

Profile
A member of the Council and the Speaker of "Space," the very first concept created by the Gods.

After being materialized in the mortal realm, she began researching astrology in earnest for one particular reason. However, she soon stumbled unknowingly upon the Forbidden Truth, and was turned into an apostle for the Ancient Ones.

"Space" refers not only to this universe we live in, but all dimensions and matter to exist. It is a concept unbridled by definition, and one that continues to grow in scope limitlessly. As it is yet to be fully explored by man, her seemingly strange behavior and speech can be explained away with a simple, "Humanity simply isn't yet ready to understand."

As a side note, despite how she may look, she is quite chi... young.

Background

Trivia

It appears in the term tsukumogami, ninety-nine gods, referring to the belief that an object or spirit can acquire sentience by living a hundred years. Tsukumo is a Japanese surname, although it is not usually written with these kanji; however, it does appear so in the name of the character Yuma Tsukumo from the anime Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal.

 * Sana's connection to the Ancient Ones links her to Ninomae Ina'nis, a priestess of the Ancient Ones and a founding member of the original hololive English.
 * A further connection between Sana and Ina may be found in her introductory quote referencing the "void", as the name Ina'nis is Latin for "empty"; and the difference between 0 and 1, which may refer to Ninomae, meaning "one".
