Introduction Video[]
【初配信】-らでん初配信 はじめまして、らでんです -hololiveDEV IS -ReGLOSS
Debut stream.
Profile[]
A grandma's girl who covers herself in both tradition and revolution, and sees big dreams in the rakugo world.
She loves arts and culture of all kinds—new and old, Eastern and Western.
She visits museums so often that she is left penny-pinching the rest of the time. It is most certainly not due to her frequent purchases of alcohol.
Through her encounter with rakugo, she has come to enjoy public speaking more than ever, and she is fervishly writing up her own skits.
Personality[]
Appearance[]
She has long, dark purple hair in a 'hime' cut with some blonde streaks/highlights throughout and light blue eyes. She wears a ruffly black and dark greenish gothic lolita style dress with a large black bow and a capelet.
History[]
Background[]
