For Hoomans who 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=m42h-F5zhng&t=8350s</ref>
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).
