As an owl, she is stereotypically both forgetful and birdbrained with her not only forgetting 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).

A notable instance of Mumei getting overwhelmed 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).

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.
