>>20824128Haruka is arguably the single most friendly and sensitive vtubers in existence. Literally not even exaggerating here. She's autistic (literally, she says so in her intro video), and like autistic people she has great difficulty reading other people. To avoid this causing problems she has the habit of constantly worrying about how others feel, and is basically constantly apologizing, thanking, and praising others for even the most trivial things. This constant politeness means she can basically get along with almost anyone she has ever met and almost never offends anyone.
However, I guess it's a double edge sword. She's also... I'm not sure what to call it. Hyper-sensitive emotionally? Too self-aware? Just very anxious? Basically she recently took a month off and lost 90% of her subs due to someone sending a mean DM (not even kidding, it should still be posted on her Twitter somewhere). Haruka's sensitivity would get her chewed out and ripped to shreds if she entered a stage as big as hololive, unless she was kept in a reality bubble where mods filtered all her contact with the outside word.
Personality-wise she's sort of a funny dork. She's also very seiso (or maybe just looks that way because she hangs out with vshojo which is filled with thirsty thots and toilet humor). Either way she doesn't use her femininity to appeal to viewers like most vtubers, and you'd think she was just a friendly guy pal if you read the transcripts from her streams and didn't watch/hear her.
Haruka is one of the few vtubers who you genuinely want to protect and probably needs protecting. And unlike other vtubers, it's not just because she has a cute little girl model or plays a character; she's entirely transparent and I'm not sure even can play a character due to her autism. She's a rarity among vtubers, and this is coming from someone who's not even a regular viewer of hers.
