Official Bio

A member of the Council and the Guardian of "Civilization," a concept crafted by mankind.

As a living embodiment of the sum of mankind's efforts—the mark that humans have left on the world—she is far removed from her fellow members, as well as other lifeforms. Due to not being created by the Gods, she was free to choose her own appearance, and decided to make herself owl-like, after the bird that symbolizes wisdom.

She is gentle, wise, and an unbelievably hard worker. As a well-traveled vagabond, she is blessed with a wealth of knowledge of the world. She has seen, heard, and experienced so many things that she has forgotten most of them, one of them being her own name.

For some reason, she seems to project a rather pitiable aura. Perhaps this is in part thanks to the loneliness she has often felt in her perennial travels. That is what gave her the idea of making her own friend out of a material that was indispensable to the development of human civilization: paper.

"It may fade and rip, but once a friend, forever a friend."

Overview

Nanashi Mumei (七詩ムメイ), born on August 4th, is an owl VTuber who debuted as part of hololive English -Council- representing “Civilization.” As an all-seeing guardian of mankind, she protects all who she looks upon and hopes everyone can be their best version of themselves.

Mumei’s streams are generally characterised by a relatively low energy, relaxing and comfortable tone (which she takes pride in) with Hoomans drawn in by her gentle talking and singing voice, her upbeat and persevering demeanour, and the various noises she makes during streams which fans overwhelmingly find cute and adorable. Mumei is also a fan of puns and frequently uses owl or bird-related wordplay in her Tweets and streams, and this is further evidenced by her choice of fan name and Twitter hashtags.

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. 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.

Mumei’s love of knowledge, drawing and singing come across strongly from her streams: with her frequently asking chat if she can search online for answers to something she forgot or is unsure of; her frequent drawing-themed streams and knowledge of techniques demonstrated by painter Bob Ross; and her regularly singing short snippets of songs from a wide range of different genres – from Kelly Clarkson, to My Chemical Romance, the musical adaptation of Les Misérables, and Disney songs.

In terms of larger-scale forays into singing, she previewed an incomplete original song (which is currently in development) during her debut stream, and has sung a full cover of Silhouette by Kana-Boon (an OP for the anime Naruto: Shippuden).

Her representative fan emoji is a feather because her physical form is of an owl.

Personality

As a cheerful, caring and sweet (yet introverted) barn owl, Nanashi Mumei (normally referred to as Mumei, but also affectionally nicknamed “Meimei” by fellow Council members) takes her job seriously as a guardian protector of mankind. On the other hand, however, it is Hoomans who believe that the one that must be protected is Mumei herself. This desire to protect her is compounded by multiple aspects about her: such as her forgetfulness and the ease with which she becomes embarrassed and overwhelmed.

Her bouts of forgetfulness are frequent enough to make Hoomans joke that she “forgor” and “rembers” whenever she forgets about something and (sometimes) remembers it again during her streams. This forgetful nature – coupled with her being prone to panicking – often inadvertently makes Mumei respond that she “forgot” in some cases where she didn’t actually forget, due to sheer force of habit.

A notable example of Mumei getting overwhelmed was her first Superchat 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. 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].”

This appreciation for her fans can further be seen in her 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), her responses to those expressing gratitude for her content during streams, and her general interactions with chat. Such interactions include her pleading with tired fans staying up late for her stream to go get some sleep, as well as her expressing the happiness she felt knowing Hoomans were inspired to draw because of her, and were also using her #watchMEI Twitter hashtag to draw alongside her during her first drawing stream.

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. This introverted disposition becomes most apparent when she starts findings it difficult to know what to say; with her often resorting to impromptu singing or noises to fill the silence. However, she thinks that it’s okay and normal to become tired while doing something you enjoy (in her case: streaming) so she doesn’t mind it.

Trivia

• After Mumei made her first tweet, Mumei's Twitter account was flooded with new followers. This led to Twitter temporarily restricting her account for excessive activity.
