## Personality

Despite being a Devil, Towa is a sweet, kind-hearted, down to earth girl, which has caused many of her fans to insist that she is an Angel instead, Towa herself tries to play it off as being irritated and claiming she hates angels. She doesn't truly mean it as she likes Kanata. Her streams are usually wholesome and relaxing. She really enjoys herself while streaming and often get hyped when playing FPSs, but she might rage if she dies in said games. She also doesn't like horror games as she gets scared fairly easy.

Towa also likes singing and she is well known for her powerful vocal range.

She greets her viewers with "Ohayappi" (おはやっぴー) or "Konyappi" (こんやっぴー) and she says goodbye with "Otsuyappi" (おつやっぴー).

* She likes to say the phrase "Oh my god!" when surprised.
* Her voice seems to get even deeper when she just wakes up, to the point can be mistaken for a male voice.
