Yuki & Yuna Astrea (Duo Leveling)

Yuki Astrea and Yuna Astrea are a pair of English-speakign female VTubers who stream together as Duo Leveling. They are a pair of identical twins, but their personalities are quite different. They mainly stream on YouTube.

They originally debuted as part of HoshiLive Generation 2022, HoshiLive's third generation. On 21 September 2022, HoshiLive announced the company's closure. Duo Leveling left HoshiLive Productions and became independent. Unlike most of the agency's former members, they did not rebrand.

Profile
In a world far, far away…

A fierce war waged between the free races and those of darkness.

These ferocious foes made it difficult for life to thrive outside of the cities protected by mana-core crystals.

Adventurer guilds, led by kind and brave souls, often filled the gaps in defense when a kingdom’s forces were simply stretched too thin. One such guild was Atlas, a new adventuring guild headquartered in the kingdom of Elysia’s capital, Eden.

Led by the twin adventurers Yuki and Yuna Astrea, this guild was meant to be nothing more than one of the many that defended Elysia’s lands. However, fate would have it differently…

The goddess of the stars, Selene, foresaw that humanity would soon battle against a terrifying ancient evil of old who was readying its armies to invade the entire world. She selected Yuki and Yuna to become her Astral Guardians, beings capable of crossing worlds and stars alike.

Their quest?

To collect mana from a new world called Earth in order to restore the goddess to her full power. This would allow her blessings to give rise to more empowered Astral Guardians to defeat evil once and for all.

Personality
Yuki Astrea, the older twin, a knight who aspires to be a paladin. She isn’t the sharpest tool in the armory, but Yuki is loyal, caring, and is a very talented artist.

Yuna Astrea, the younger Astrea twin, is a genius mage who keeps the guild in order. She is calm and reliable, but sometimes has a temper.

Background
The duo's Twitter account and Twitch account were created on 24 September 2020. Their YouTube account was created two days later on 26 September 2020.
