Kanna's Introduction.

Profile

"Hi hi~ Kanna Yanagi! Duck detective reporting for duty!"

A duck detective, or Ducktective as some would say, Kanna runs the Yanagi Detective Agency. With the help of her trusty Kamogumis, she is sure to uncover any mystery that dares challenge her investigative wits.

Personality

Kanna is a comfy, humble, and pretty seiso girl known for her positivity and optimism. In her chill vibe, she often giggles and makes cute duck noises. She tends to express her excitation or approbation with the verbal tic "yeyeye". While not above the occasional silly prank or playful tease, she treats everyone with the utmost kindness, and works tirelessly to bring smiles to her community and Vtuber peers alike.

Appearance

Kanna is an always-smiling girl with long pale blond hair and yellow eyes. She wears her hair in twin braids falling around her face, with one long spiral ahoge on the right side of her head. Her outfit invokes the Victorian era: blue plaid skirt, short cape around her shoulders, and feathered detective cap, as well as a white shirt, yellow bow tie, and big black boots. She wears large half-rim glasses. She can hold a brown briefcase covered with stickers, or a magnifying glass.
