weepymiyu, also known as Miyu (美優), is an independent female VTuber who streams on Twitch. She is known for her shyness, gentle nature, positivity, creativity, poetry, and unique VTuber design. Since the reveal of her design in October 2024, Miyu’s numbers have risen rapidly, and she has carved out her own creative space within the VTuber industry, capturing the hearts of many fans with her vulnerable and relatable character.
Introduction[]
Personality[]
Miyu is a shy weeping angel who quite literally "freezes up in fear," turning into a stone statue whenever she feels the weight of attention or embarrassment. Despite her quiet persona, Miyu has a silly, lewd side, often making jokes about Sisyphus carrying her "boulder booba" up the hill.
Miyu can be foolish and often needs time to process basic information or realize her own existence. However, she claims this may be because, in her stone form, her body is made of smooth, polished marble—including her brain.
Appearance[]
Miyu is a weeping angel girl, she has large permanent stone wings on her lower back with a large crack on her left wing and stone texture freckled on her wings and body. She wears a long white dress wrapped neatly in a sash, her sleeves are drooped and torn with holes. The bottom of her dress is dirtied from time and torn at the end revealing her black flip-flop sandals.
Her hair is grey with darker grey highlights at the bottom, her hair is kept tightly in a side braid with loose strands on her face and side. She has a large curved ahoge which resembles an angel halo. Her skin is pale and dull with a large crack running from her right check to her left eye. Miyu's eyes are pupil-less, coloured with a desaturated shade of red which blends into dusty pink.
Miyu's equipped with three worn down shields yet never seen with a weapon, suggesting she wishes to only protect and defend others.
