Runa's introduction.

Profile

VSPO!’s smallest lady, but despite her appearance she packs a keen sense for FPS domination. She quickly loses track of time when gaming, resulting some of the longest stream-sessions out of the VSPO! team.

Personality

Runa has a very cheeky, mischievous personality. She likes to tease and is often teased in return by her seniors. Speaking with a soft and girly voice that's capable of being surprisingly loud, her cheeky personality gives off the image of being VSPO!'s quintessential junior and little sister, even though she is now a senior herself.

Appearance

Runa has short, light purple hair and eyes with light yellow irises.

On her original design, her hair is arranged in a "two side up" style where her short hair is mostly down but with a pair of small pigtails on the sides, tied with black hair ribbons. She wears black hair ties and a ghost shaped white hair clip on either side of her face. On her body, she wears an oversized, open black cardigan that exposes her left shoulder, on top of a white sundress with a lavender ribbon on her chest. The cardigan has large, very long sleeves longer than her arms, adorned with white bandages. On her legs, she has white bandages on her right thigh, a pair of white socks with magenta ribbons on her ankles, and a pair of black platform shoes on her feet.
