Overview
Tokino Sora the first Member of Hololive Productions and debuted on Sept. 7th, 2017[1].
Sora garners universal respect from all of her juniors in Hololive because she was one of the pioneers of early day vtubers, around the time when Kizuna Ai, Kaguya Luna, Mirai Akari, etc were at the top. She generally does talking streams, gaming streams, as well as some occasional singing.
Although she claims that she is scared of horror games, she does not have a large reaction to jumpscares and scary moments, only showing brief surprise/shock[2]. She is not good with things that involve memorization.
She has a really large vocal range, with some fans describing her voice to be high enough to be like a vocaloid[3], yet being able to be low enough to sound like an ikemen voice[4].
Personality
She is an easy-going, happy and comforting person whose personality has led many fans to call her "Sora Mama" because of her motherly attitude. She also has a playful side to her. An example would be where she has put on a horse head while streaming a game[5] She is also a bit carefree as she does not mind revealing her age and weight on stream in contrast to other hololive members[6].
