Sana Tsukumo

Sana Tsukumo, also known as BEEG Sana, Sananana and Speaker of "Space", is an English Virtual YouTuber endorsed by hololive.
== Charactah Account ==
Sana is a member of the Council and the Speaker of "Space," the very first concept created by the Gods. After being materialized in the mortal realm, she began researching astrology in earnest for one particular reason. However, she soon stumbled unknowingly upon the Forbidden Truth, and was turned into an apostle for the Ancient Ones.
Sana was enthusiastic and generally easy-going, with a curiosity that led her to seek secrets in games, and a stubbornness that made her never give up until she achieved what she set off to do. She had a light-hearted and sometimes childish attitude, and was always overflowing with bubbly enthusiasm no matter what she was doing.
Sana had an interest in both astronomy and astrology, and often made references to space. Her sense of humor was, in a word, odd. She made puns and jokes that were just a little dirty, and yet were enough to throw other people off during collaborations even fellow pun enthusiast Ninomae Ina'nis had been thrown off by Sana's jokes and non-sequiturs.

== Trivia ==
* The name "Tsukumo" is written which means "ninety-nine." It appears in the term tsukumogami, ninety-nine gods, referring to the belief that an object or spirit can acquire sentience by living a hundred years. Tsukumo is a Japanese surname, although it is not usually written with these kanji; however, it does appear so in the name of the character Yuma Tsukumo from the anime Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal.
** In the 9th century Japanese work The Tales of Ise, tsukumogami is also used to refer to white hair. This has a similarity to Shirakami Fubuki, whose name "shirakami" can also be taken to mean "white hair."
* "Sana" is a Japanese female given name although the name is not commonly written with these kanji. While the first kanji, read "sa", appears in one common spelling of the name Sana, the second is usually read "inochi," meaning "life," or "mei," as in "unmei," destiny.
** Sana is also an anagram of NASA, the acronym for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, a well-known organization whose duties involve the exploration of space. Fans quickly noticed that Sana follows NASA on Twitter. Her logo also resembles the NASA logo.
* Sana reads her name in Western order, like Ouro Kronii, Hakos Baelz, Mori Calliope, and Watson Amelia.
* Sana's connection to the Ancient Ones links her to Ninomae Ina'nis, a priestess of the Ancient Ones and a founding member of the original hololive English.
** A further connection between Sana and Ina may be found in her introductory quote referencing the "void," as the name Ina'nis is Latin for "empty;" and the difference between 0 and 1, which may refer to Ninomae, meaning "one".
* Sana is larger than Earth's Sun, but shrank down to human size in order to experience Earth. The antenna on her head was a limiter which prevented her height from increasing. If removed, her gravitational field would fling Earth out of orbit and kill the entire human race.
** Although Sana described her true height at debut as approximately 1.7 trillion centimeters (17 million kilometers), the chart depicting her to scale next to Earth's Sun showed her to be only slightly larger. Since the Sun has a diameter of 1.4 million km, a height of 170 billion cm (1.7 million km) is likely to have been the intended figure.
** Sana's restricted height of 169 cm still made her the tallest member of hololive English before Nerissa Ravencroft's debut.
** At her debut, Sana noted that without her limiter, her chest size was approximately as large as Jupiter, the largest planet in Earth's solar system. Following her February 2022 hiatus due to back injury, fans jokingly blamed her large chest for causing her back problems.
* Although she was 13.8 billion years old, Sana was only a toddler in galactic terms.
** To date, Sana is the oldest hololive member who has an age stated as a number. Takanashi Kiara is older than humans have lived on Earth (at least two million years), Mori Calliope is the personification of an abstract concept and has no age, and Ouro Kronii's age is infinity as she was time itself.
** In her debut stream, Sana wrote her age as 138 billion years, although this was likely another error. She read it as 13(.8) billion years old, consistent with the current estimates of the age of the universe.
* Sana was the second member of hololive English to speak fluent bird language, after Takanashi Kiara. She uses it to speak with her mascot Yatagarasu.
* Sana speculates that she was born from a stellar nursery, a type of nebula where new stars are formed.
* Sana likes pasta, macarons, and round things like baby seals and planet Earth.
* Sana's favorite anime are Kyousougiga, Uchouten Kazoku, and Katanagatari.
* Sana's favorite music is EDM (including Moeshop, Camellia, Snail's House), Go Shiina, YOASOBI, and Eve.
* Sana's hobbies are astronomy, astrology, graphic design, drawing, traveling, hiking, snorkeling, camping, and eating.
* Sana plans to do astrology streams (performing astrology with the hashtag #Holoscope) and Kuso Monday, where she plays rubbish games.
* Sana's dreams are to get a telescope, try astrophotography, see her mascot Yatagarasu in 3D, collect the laughter and smiles from everyone, and last a year (i.e. until 23 August 2022) without destroying the Earth. However, she already failed the last goal by taking off her limiter during her debut.
* Sana dislikes sneezing, as her sneezes may destroy the Earth. She believes that mosquitoes are "a mistake of the universe."
* Sana's favorite games are cute, bad, and psychological games.
* Sana was a die-hard Pokémon craver, and generally considered the biggest Pokémon fan in hololive English. Her enthusiasm for the series was especially notable in her streams of the games, which tend to occur back-to-back and last extremely long.
** In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl, Sana was the first member of hololive English to complete the National Dex and acquire the Shiny Charm.
** Although her Pokémon Legends: Arceus streams lasted nearly twelve hours each, Sana's back injury in February 2022 prevented her from completing the game on stream before permissions lapsed at the end of that month.
** Sana's favorite Pokémon generation was Gen 5 (Black, White, Black 2 and White 2).
* Sana's birthday, 10 June, was the date of a solar eclipse in 2021.
* Sana's hair ornaments in her original outfit resemble represent sanshoku dango, a traditional Japanese rice flour confection consisting of three spheres and often eaten during cherry blossom viewing. Such dango are usually pink, white, and green. Some fans used the dango emoji in chat during her debut.
* Sana noted that her hair resembles the Milky Way, the horizontal plane of our galaxy visible as a river of stars in Earth's night sky.
* Sana's companion Yatagarasu looks like an orange worm to humanity, because if humans could perceive their full form, their brains would melt.
** Yatagarasu also grants wishes sometimes by vomiting them out.
* Sana has an Australian accent, and sometimes uses Australian slang words without even realizing it. She also uses Australian slang for brand names such as "Maccas" in place of McDonald's.
** Sana was from Space Australia.
* In addition to English, Sana was learning Japanese. However, she had difficulty reading certain kanji.
* Sana shares her Live2D modeller with Yukihana Lamy, Shishiro Botan and Pavolia Reine. They also rigged updated models for various hololive-affiliated VTubers, several of which can be found here.
* Sana was prolific at drawing.
** Sana designed the hololive English -Council- debut tapestry, the Council's first piece of merchandise.
** Sana designed the -Council- and IRyS version of the "smol" models calling them "Beeg Smol".
** Sana helped IRyS design her mascots Bloom & Gloom.
* Sana's limiter, the swirly antenna on her head, only appears when she is at human size, and is absent when she is full size. A common mistake by fanartists is to draw her with the antenna while at full size.
* Sana had a pet dog named Taco who passed away on 11 October 2021.
* Ninomae Ina'nis revealed they are longtime friends while reminiscing about a day when the two had battled each other in a Pokémon game. That day, Sana easily beat her up. Unfortunately for Ina, Sana doesn't seem to remember that occasion.
* Without her limiter, Sana is so tall that it takes light 5.663 seconds to travel from her foot to her head. Walking from one end to the other would take approximately 48 years.
* Sana appears in the fan game BEEG Sana, where she fishes in the galaxy for planets.
* The kimono outfit Sana and Ina wear in their duet cover of Futariboshi are decorated with flowers that have special significance. Sana's include hydrangeas representing gratitude, plum blossoms representing perseverance, protection, and good health, and hemp leaf worn as a charm to grow healthy. The two also wears a scrunchie on their wrist of the other's color, representing their close friendship.
* The reason Sana is always barefoot is that she doesn't want to wear shoes until functioning rocket shoes are invented.
