>>88516574Here's my take: among the holomem, Sora is one of the most down to earth girls. She’s a nice singer, but she doesn’t have any particular eccentric quirk that makes her stand out (aside from her jokes about stalking her fans), so she is usually just seen as the "cheerful good girl who wants to be an idol". She’s always given off the vibe of a random familiar childhood friend, someone you’re not particularly close to, but whose company you enjoy. That same image of being pure and wholesome was precisely what made the other holomem at the time think that she was unapproachable, because they were filthy otaku and didn't think that Sora would be interested on being their friend
The thing is, Sora started in this business when she was... 18 years old? Maybe even a bit younger, I can’t remember exactly. Hololive launched when she was still a kid, and she's grown with the company emotionally, physically, and mentally. She’s still the cheerful, wholesome childhood friend who dreams of being an idol, but now she’s also a grown woman. She’ll stay late with you at karaoke after everyone else has left, unexpectedly order a few more drinks just when you thought she was ready to go, sit a little closer, and let you catch a casual glimpse of her sweaty cleavage.
Sora has grown. She’s learned what people want from her, clearly enjoys the attention, and has her own desires. She knows exactly what she's doing.
