Personality[]

Zuzu is a sweet and accommodating streamer who tries to help people feel relaxed and comfortable. At the same time, she is very open about her sexual preferences and masochistic tendencies, encouraging her chat to make jokes about her which would be inappropriate in other environments. While she often enjoys teasing, she also appreciates support and encouragement, especially when struggling in a video game or trying something outside of her comfort zone. Altogether, Zuzu is a very unique streamer who can bring a lot of joy to those with the right disposition.

Appearance[]

Zuzu is a small girl with dragon horns and a long tail, thin at the end but thick at the base. She has long, messy white hair topped by her signature large bow, which is tied up out of her own hair. She also has pointed ears, a distinctive eye shape, and a very small chest.

In her original outfit, she wears a green, white, and red hakama. The top has a yagasuri pattern of green and white feathers, swinging sleeves akin to those seen on a furisode, white ruffles at the cuffs and collars, and a lacey white cravat around her neck. The skirt is bright red with visible strips of green between the folds, a green seigaiha wave pattern at the bottom, a stylized dragon head figure on the bow at her waist, and pins in the shape of flowers and four-pointed stars. She wears black boots with red socks visible through cutouts on top of her feet, with one sock held up by a short suspender. Her hair has a single white braid on her right side, and by default she holds her arms up in a fearsome "gao!" pose.

In her second outfit, she wears a mint-green dress with a bright red corset, which has gold trim and dark green sides. The dress is supported by ruffled red and white straps, connecting to her bodice with green Chinese-inspired ties. Her skirt is printed with small dragon heads on the top mint green layer, which covers a red layer with gold trim, and finally a white layer with thin mint green stripes, ending at mid-thigh. She has detached sleeves with puffy mint green tops, green and gold ties at the elbows, which then widen out until revealing a layer of red with gold ruffles. She also wears a red and green choker, a red and white garter, and green Mary Janes with white ruffled socks. Her hair is now held in messy twintails by white ribbons with mint green stripes, and small green flowers adorn one of her horns. She appears to have a slightly-larger chest, but this is owed entirely to the corset.
