She already watched a little bit of Hololive but it ramped up insanely during her shut in period where she developed Pekora as her Oshi.
After applying and getting in, both her and Mori were in Japan and assuming they were relatively close, it was a really good bonding experience for her. She got a little too attached and they wrote the ship into the characters basing it off of a few of their 'senpai's' teetee lesbian interactions. Kiara is 100% the kind of person who wants to fit in with Japanese humor/style so it makes sense that she would curb it on that. With Kiara in a fragile state and no one else to really connect with, she leaned on Mori hard as fuck for the first 6ish months, during the predebut and all the way until she left.
It ended up bombing once Kiara left Japan and got settled in in Austria reconnecting with old friends. On top of the fact that Mori kinda kept pretty distant to the point where Kiara talked a bit about how lonely she felt on stream and cried about it. Once she got over it though, the ship was dropped to the point of Kiara saying 'she felt boxed in by fans when it came to interacting with other girls'. A lot of the time when Mori would interact with other coworkers, people would love it, but fans would ask Kiara 'WHAT ABOUT CALLI!' every time she tried and she got tired of it.
