>>8736360I used to find her voice kind of annoying, attitude kind of give-and-take sometimes good sometimes annoying, and always fuckin' hated her model.
She is also kind of stubborn about a lot of things needlessly, like taking a while to fix that mic, didn't even get a second monitor for months etc. Seems to just indicate she is a proud type of person. One of her very first streams was Super Mario 64 and she was hilariously bad at it, but that was a fucking hilarious and great stream IMO - but, she never got back around to that game. I guess, she didn't like being the butt of the joke and would rather play boring JRPGs where she was in full control of everything.
That's all the past though. Lately I'm actually pretty cool with Kiara and kind of can't believe hearing myself saying she's actually one of the only good ones in HoloEN for sticking hard on the idol angle and just having a built-in understanding of how Japanese companies work and what they expect. We didn't realize how good we had it until EN2 and in retrospect it's like FUUUCK, SAVE US CHIMPKIN. Like I unironically think she would be a great manager because she'd probably pick hardcore, dedicated girls like herself and odds are most of those picks will have very different voices/personas than her. She is a legit fan of holo itself and cares a ton about the JP senpai and being a very consistent streamer, no sounding super-bored half the time, no tummy horts shit, no 5% shit.
This is an odd comparison but you know who she strikes me as? Worf.. from Star Trek. Worf is of an alien race raised by humans but looks back at his own people with a kind of unrealistic idealism, that isn't actually present in most of them for real - but he as a result of trying to live up to that image, is way more noble/true to their culture than many actual Klingons are. Kiara, is kind of like that, not entirely but that's sort of the idea. That is way, way better thing to get in a Western Holo, than someone very far from understanding the culture, the Japanese nor fundamentally caring about the company.
