Otachan

Otachan

Otachan is the main protagonist of "おたちゃん Otachan!", "The Otachan Show" and mascot of the Otaku-Vs channel run by Yuesf Iqbal, appearing in various other Otaku-Vs related properties. After being the mascot of Otaku-Vs for years (as seen in The Otachan Show), she one day decides to try to create an anime all of her own instead of just talking about them for YouTube videos, setting up おたちゃん Otachan!.

## Profile

### Appearance

Across most of her appearances in different media, Otachan is a 22 year-old self-described "cute anime girl" (true sex is up for debate) with purple hair and eyes, as well as her own purple schoolgirl uniform, though she is seen in different variations on this outfit or entirely different outfits from time to time. Due to having cute anime girl syndrome, she looks very young for her age, commenting on how difficult it is to buy alcohol products in The Otachan Show's "Are Anime Movies Supposed to Be This Boring?" because of this.

### Personality

Otachan is as far from normal as they come. Atypically violent, lazy, selfish, and annoying, she puts on the cutesy anime girl personality to draw people in or get what she wants (regardless of if they know her true nature), only to subject them to violence, manipulation, and further abuse. Despite all mentioned above, she is very likable. It's also worth mentioning that she is a heavy alcoholic, drug addict, and known criminal, causing enough trouble to be on a first-name basis with most policemen, as seen in おたちゃん Otachan!'s first episode, "This Anime Cost $20,000?!".

## Story

### Background

Appearing in The Otachan Show as Otaku-Vs' main mascot and spokesperson, as a response to a YouTube monetization incident, Otachan set out on a highly expensive gamble to revive the Otaku-Vs channel - that being to create her very own anime, as seen in The Otachan Show's "I spent $25,000 To Become A REAL Anime Girl". This leads directly into a new anime about making an anime, おたちゃん Otachan!.

### Events of おたちゃん Otachan!

After blowing her monthly budget on vaguely illegal and/or morally reprehensible activities such as cocaine and implications of other drugs, murder, a boob job, and strippers, gaining the attention of the IRS in the process, Otachan looks for cameramen to help with the anime, stumbling across Cam, an accomplished cameraman and photographer. Now on the team, the two discuss potential ways to get back their money, eventually coming up with a pyramid scheme fronting as a program to help aspiring VTubers accomplish their life goal. However, before the plan can get enacted, Otachan is busted by federal agents and immediately detained, being placed under house arrest. Meanwhile, the writing team informs Otachan that they've made no progress on the show, enraging her.

Quickly getting over her pure anger towards the writing team, she decides its best for her to work on writing the show herself reveling in the freedom of not having to deal with a writers room as well as enjoying finally having something of value to do while under house arrest. However, due to her alcoholism, she makes no progress and wastes her entire night. After destroying her ankle bracelet, Cam and Otachan have a heart-to-heart on Otachan's balcony, discussing if the life they're currently leading is of any value / worth living, and discussing the writing predicament they're both currently in. With a newfound understanding and liking of each other and now living together, the two go on to murder the entire writing team.

The next day, inspired by a gacha game Cam enjoys, Girls Frontline, Otachan devises a scheme to create a gacha game of her very own, noticing the shady practices of most gacha games and viewing it as a wonderful opportunity to get the budget back. Pitching their gacha game, Super Glad Gals 2, they are immediately kicked out after an atrocious pitch and a final note of "and you can fuck 'em!" in reference to the various glad gals.

Out of options, Otachan spirals and indulges deeper into her various addictions. After awakening from a black-out on the bus, Otachan meets a new character, Kon. With Otachan far from home and in need of help, Kon embarks on an adventure to bring Otachan back home through her hometown, carrying Otachan on her back. Immediately regretting this decision, the two have various arguments and physical fights over Otachan's fame despite her clear lack of effort in contrast to Kon being invisible socially despite her hard work.

After more not-so-plot-relevant adventures including "getting talibanned", becoming a detective, becoming friends with Bonzi Buddy, and becoming the Joker, Otachan becomes real once more and convinces Kon to work at a club with her as a one-night gig for money. Assigned to a regular spender in the private booths, Oya-san, he is outraged at the sight of Otachan and Kon instead of the girl he typically gets, Otsu, who is out sick. Trying to remain in-character as Oya whips out a gun and points it at the bartender, Kon calms Oya down and exits the room. Otachan steals his gun undetected, then accidentally killing him with it while messing around. After stealing everything he has, the two dispose of the body, but before they can flee, Oya's men show up, enraged and armed. As the men fire at Kon and Otachan, Cam rushes in, using a door as cover before viciously killing all of Oya's men. However, in the heat of battle, a stray bullet hits Otachan's chest, leaving her to bleed out on the ground and leaving the show on an unresolved plotline to be continued at a later date.

## Relationships

### Cam

Initially meeting Otachan by being recruited to shoot for Otachan's anime, the two quickly became great friends and started living together. They have a great understanding of each other after various deep conversations, business ventures, "business" ventures, and other typical Otachan antics. Despite seemingly disappearing from Otachan's life for around 5 episodes, she still is shown to care for Otachan deeply, saving her and Kon's life on at least one occasion. Due to how close they are, the fact that they live together, and Otachan's overly physically affectionate behavior towards Cam, some suspect that the two have feelings for each other, though it hasn't been confirmed or mentioned in any YouTube content.

### Kon

Despite having a love-hate relationship with each other and getting into numerous disagreements of verbal / physical fights almost every time they're seen together, the two seem to care for each other despite their many differences, with Kon even acting as a sort of replacement for Cam during part of S1 and the majority of S2. Due to the lack of content surrounding Kon (Kon-tent, if you will), however, not much can be said or inferred about the two's relationship.

## Trivia
