As an owl, she is stereotypically forgetful and has not only forgotten her age and previous names over the millennia, but more recently has had many cases of forgetting when her scheduled streams were due to start – in one case almost starting a stream a day early.<ref>(Sep. 04, 2021). Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBpUdH6eVk0&t=1191s</ref> This forgetfulness was what led her to refer to her mascot only as “Friend,” as she wouldn’t be able to forgive herself were she to forget its name.<ref>(Aug. 23, 2021).

A notable instance of Mumei getting overwhelmed on stream was her first [[Glossary#S|Super Chat]] celebration stream, where she chose not to read chat at the beginning because she knew that she would (and eventually did) get startled by the fast rate of donations sent to her.<ref>(Sep. 05, 2021). Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQAlW4yR28k&t=102s</ref> However, this same stream also highlighted the care and appreciation she holds for her fans, with her stating numerous times throughout the stream that she sees the precious time people set aside to watch her streams “genuinely as valuable [as money].”<ref>(Sep. 05, 2021).

Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQAlW4yR28k&t=5083s</ref> This appreciation can further be seen in frequent Tweets expressing her gratefulness to those who watch and convey their enjoyment of her streams (particularly when the stream does not go as planned),<ref>(Aug. 28, 2021).

Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dip1794Rd54&t=1039s</ref>
For the Hoomans who do send in Super Chats, Mumei wishes for them to be responsible in how they use their money. An example of this is her stating during a stream that viewers do not need to send donations toward upgrading her equipment (such as for a new microphone) or similar purposes as she will be able to cover all relevant costs herself.<ref>(Sep. 18, 2021). Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_th_UdWKO84&t=450s</ref> Unfortunately for her this statement ended up having the opposite effect, with viewers sending a torrent of "fund" donations<ref>(Sep. 18, 2021).

Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_th_UdWKO84&t=6950s</ref> not only because of the sheer number she received,<ref>(Sep. 18, 2021).

Although she has moments of high energy and excitability (especially while under the effects of caffeine), Mumei regards herself as a “low energy” individual with the social aspect of streaming being surprisingly tiring at times. However, she thinks that it’s okay and normal for people to become tired while doing something they enjoy so she doesn’t mind it.<ref name="introversion_1">(Sep. 05, 2021). Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQAlW4yR28k&t=2663s</ref> This introverted disposition becomes most apparent when she starts finding it difficult to know what to say; with her often resorting to impromptu singing or noises to fill the silence if streaming by herself,<ref name="les_miserables_1">(Aug. 31, 2021).
