I get the impression Kiara does not like IRyS and sees her as a potential threat. There are multiple things I have noticed that convey this.
Firstly before her debut when talking about her whilst streaming with Gura, she does not say anything positive about IRyS all of it seems fairly negative. Stating for her not to call her "Senpai" and stating she gets the impression she is reluctant to talk to them. Not once did she say that she was looking forward to her streaming or anything nice about her, pretty much that she is just shy. Fair enough Gura did not want to get in trouble talking about her from management but Kiara did not care and from my perspective only tried to big herself up by offering "Support" to her. - link here
https://youtu.be/I0mpYxHT0DESecondly when IRyS Debuted on youtube the rest of the EN members and other Hololive members retweeted her stream and posted positive comments of support or excitement. Where as Kiara posted a tweet very late into IRyS's stream, positing the link with the caption "WATCHING BTW" . This to me seems like her management literally had to prompt her to post something because she did not want to give IRyS coverage on her Twitter.
Finally, Kiara has continued to completely ignore IRyS on Twitter, even when she is promoting her own album "Sparks" trying to get a mediocre song to 1 million. IRyS retweeted it saying how she loved it but she completely ignored her again lol. It seems clear Kiara is bitter that IRyS's first set of songs are way better and higher quality to anything she has put out and main mv has almost reached sparks in terms of views.
Personally I think this is rather petty and shallow of Kiara, however I can understand her mindset. At the beginning of her being at Hololive she said she did not want any future EN generations to come on board and just want it to be "us 5". Then suddenly IRyS arrives, who is an incredible singer, speaking fluent English and Japanese, does not force being a fake lesbian or lewd. It must hurt her pride or ego quite abit, she is no longer the number one English translator and IRyS is the complete opposite to her.
Honnestly, I feel sorry for IRyS she must feel quite alone right now and is getting little support from the other Hololive EN members especially Kiara. This whole event has made me respect and appreciate Ollie alot more, now thats a genuine kind and supportive person right there, unlike narcistic Kiara. Their complete opposite reactions to IRyS's debut on twitter literally says it all.
Obviously this is all my own speculation and opinion, do you think I am completely wrong and reading too much into this? Either way, so far I am really enjoying IRyS it so refreshing to have her apart of Hololive EN
