>>15486942I've talked about it before, but basically I spent a long time during 2019/2020 thinking that vtubers weren't really for me because the most visible ones weren't my cup of tea, and therefore I never bothered to investigate beyond them. I accidentally discovered Kiara because a friend mentioned her offhandedly, and the combination of JRPGs (my favourite genre), German and Japanese (the two languages I have studied), and her idol past (I used to be an idolfag years ago) immediately attracted me. Took me too long to discover her but it was a pretty quick conversion, especially since her accent triggered a lot of nostalgia for my childhood spent partly living in a German-speaking country. Quickly fell in love with her passionate, sincere personality and have grown to admire her strength and perseverance—she couldn't fit the 'phoenix' moniker any better. Honestly would be difficult to tailor a more perfect oshi for me.
