## History

Hype was born in Beebiss as the daughter of the leader of the Lobot Cult, and has always been able to see Yo-kai. Her mother, Senti Nosis, quickly escaped the Lobot Cult and raised Hype alone. When she became around 15, she finally re-entered school, at Rudiclum High School. She started living with the Zah Family, and they helped her get into the school talent show. During a sleepless night full of fruit strips and sweat, she came up with a cheesy song based off her name, "Believe the Hype," which propelled her into stardom.

She became a star in the public eye, and started having regular concerts in the town of Rudiclum. At one concert, she got inspirited by Ferohiss, which caused her to have a live meltdown. She saw Ferohiss and nicknamed him "Gregory." She begun a friend group at school for underdogs and victims of bullying, made up of Peedee Apotha, Labe Gedder, Wally Nerve, and Yumy Gumy. Some time later, she was threatened by the Lobot Cult, who forced her to use her powers to get people to assemble pieces for their mech project. She invited the group down to her personal club, Hype Squad, and hypnotized all of them except for Yumy Gumy, who was busy in the bathroom. She was later confronted by Yumy and Ferohiss. After a long fight, she decides to spill the beans on what's been going on, learning of her Yo-kai nature, and gifting Yumy her medal, though the Lobot Cult would intervene shortly. Hype fought off the cult and asked everyone to leave the building and go home.

Hype Nosis would found the Rudiclum Muckrakers, gifting modified Yo-kai Watches to her friends so they can investigate the Lobot Cult's supernatural ties.

## Personality

Hype was once very timid, but with the assistance of the Zahs, she became better at handling large crowds and audience, and generally better at starting conversation. She is very empathetic, relating to others suffering from bullies or other kinds of distress. She's been known to give some of her music profits to her friends or other poor souls. She's used her money for having a personal amusement center constructed, Hype Squad, that she invites kids in need to.
