|
"Konfauna~ Your gaming idol kirin Ceres Fauna is here!" The Keeper of Nature, a druidic kirin who appeared on the internet to win over humans and convince them to return to nature. She’ll attempt to charm you with her soft voice, comforting presence, and surprisingly deep knowledge of cursed memes, but be wary, because she has a reputation for turning people into trees. Once you enter her forest, you won’t want to leave.[9] |

|
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.[10] |
Personality
Fauna is a soft-spoken girl with a comforting, motherly aura, though she has said she tends to think of herself as more of an older sister. She has an innate talent for drawing the attention of those around her despite her soft-spoken voice. Her comforting aura and voice are a great combination during her ASMR streams, which often include a variety of segments from ear cleaning to lengthy off-topic discussions. As the embodiment of nature, Fauna has been able to easily charm and plant herself into the hearts of her saplings and fellow Council members with both her physical beauty and personality.
At debut, Hakos Baelz described Fauna as a natural mama, a soothing beauty, and someone who gives the best headpats. Fans also quickly noted her striking resemblance to Yukihana Lamy in many aspects, from voice tone and motherly personality, to her overall nature motif.
Fauna appears to be extremely protective of her fans and Nanashi Mumei to the point of possessiveness and extreme jealousy, and will not hesitate to switch to a more condescending tone when she encounters something unacceptable. Due to her possessive traits, Fauna often attempts to convince Mumei and humans to "return to nature" whenever Mumei gets upset. Fauna also gets embarrassed quite easily, and uses the verbal tic "uuuu" often.[11]
Appearance
Fauna has wavy light green hair that gradients to bluish-green at the tips that falls below her shoulders, the locks on her left partially cover her eye. Her hair is decorated with several white five petal flowers. Fauna has antlers that looks like tree branches with some leaves in them. She has yellow eyes and a beauty mark below her right eye.
Fauna wears a short blue dress decorated with golden ornaments. Over it she wears a white overcoat also decorated with golden elements and a semicircular cut in the edges which inner layer is pink with a flower pattern. Her coat is decorated with a blue bow complemented with a gem in the same color. She uses an ornament golden belt decorated with light green roses and blue gems that look like water droplets. On her left leg she uses a white long sock with golden outlines. On her right leg Fauna uses a golden bangle. Fauna is barefoot. Fauna can also hold a levitating golden apple and remove her coat's sleeves.
History
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.[12] Twitter accounts for the five new members were created in June 2021 and YouTube accounts created on 26 July 2021.
Fauna was inspired to join hololive after watching the debuts of the hololive English first generation in 2020. She applied immediately as soon as auditions opened, and was accepted on her first audition.[13] A temporary mix-up in translation initially gave her lore as a giraffe, rather than a mythical kirin.[14]
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.[15] On 14 August, "Omen" described the creation of avatars of those four concepts plus that of the primordial force of Chaos, revealing five silhouettes.[16] On 17 August, "Council" revealed the five new hololive English members and announced a grand debut scheduled for the coming weekend.[17] 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.[18][19][20][21][22]
On 17 August 2021, around 24 hours after the initial announcement, Ceres Fauna reached 100,000 YouTube subscribers before her debut. However, YouTube soon removed around half of this number, possibly due to the sudden subscriber growth on a channel with no videos yet, which may have triggered a YouTube anti-bot algorithm.
Debut
Ceres Fauna's debut was scheduled on 22 August. However, the -Council- debuts were postponed for 24 hours due to unspecified technical issues,[23] which members jokingly blamed on the "EN curse," a perceived tendency for hololive English members to suffer from unexpected technical problems.[24] The debuts were rescheduled at the same time on Sunday 22 August (US/Europe time) or Monday 23 August (Japan time).[25]
Fauna's debut stream received over 92,000 viewers at its peak, and her channel had reached 100,000 subscribers by the time the stream began. She concluded by singing sweets parade from the anime Inu x Boku SS.[26]

- "We may be machines, but we are not without heart! We are not without hope! We have each other.

- "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 considers her last name to be too formal to use in conversation. However, like Gawr Gura, Ninomae Ina'nis, Takanashi Kiara, and Nanashi Mumei, she reads her name in Eastern order, which has confused some of the JP members into calling her "Ceres-chan."

- Fauna's personal emoji, 🌿 (branch), was originally one of candidates for Shishiro Botan's personal emoji before being finalized.
- Asymmetry is a feature of Fauna's appearance.
- Fauna has two cats, a 22-year old brown and beige cat named Clover and a 10-year old black cat named Snail. Clover meows quite often in Fauna's streams, while Snail rarely makes an appearance.
- Clover passed away on 6 November 2022.[85]
- She is an admirer of hololive member Shirogane Noel and wishes to collab with her some day.
- She can be somewhat clumsy.
- She shares the same illustrator Tosaka Asagi with Aizawa Ema from Virtual eSports Project, Kurokiri Aria the independent VTuber, Shishido Akari from NIJISANJI and Kokuyou Lira from VEE.
- Fauna is a vegan, but only admitted to that nearly 2 months after her debut, as she doesn't want to come off as too judgmental or obnoxious.
- She wants to write young adult fiction.[13]
