Yozora Mel is an individual with a calming, caring and sweet personality. Her calm voice and demeanor make her quite relaxing to watch and she rarely tends to shout or scream excessively even in the face of unexpected events. She does however have the tendency to act lewd, especially in collaboration streams with close friend Yuzuki Choco, which belies her innocent and sweet demeanor. [12][13] Her ASMR streams were a fan favorite and of course added to her provocative perception. However she privated all her earlier ASMR content much like many of the other hololive members after her channel was demonetized, although the cause was due to a song she had posted prior to doing so being copyright flagged by YouTube.
Mel enjoys holding talking streams which allows her to interact more with her fans and is fond of her Kapu-min for the support and encouragement they had shown her during her hiatus. After the harassment she had faced, Mel came out with a public statement on May16th in the hopes that no other hololive member would have to go through what she experienced thus further highlighting her caring nature.[14][15]
Between December of 2019 and June 24th, 2020, Mel streamed very infrequently and only uploaded a a few song covers on her channel.
On May 16th 2020, Mel announced on Twitter she had been a victim of a serious harassment campaign through numerous throwaway accounts on Twitter and emails since October of 2019.

These messages contained malicious and sexual harassment directed specifically at her by name. At first she simply kept blocking the accounts, however the harassment did not stop, the accounts kept increasing in number to the point where she could no longer keep up with blocking them all and this was causing her a lot of stress.
On Oct 31st she received an harassment e-mail that contained the sender's name. It was someone she knew. She immediately contacted the police and CEO Tanigou as well as other appropriate staff at Cover Corp.
The police advised her not to go to the Hololive Studio for her upcoming 3D stream and it was announced Mel was "feeling unwell". At this time her friend helped her get in contact with a lawyer and with help from the lawyer, they got the person named in the email to admit to being the one sending the harassing emails and doing the Twitter harassment. As of March 2020, the harassment from the individual has stopped and things are moving towards a resolution.
Cover Corp. later made a statement[38] apologizing for their poor way of handling the situation, stating that they were paying for Mel's legal fees and cost of relocation and apologized for coercing Mel to continue streaming despite the current situation.
She officially calls her fans "Kapu-min" (かぷ民), which roughly translates to "Kapu-people". Kapu being to onomatopoeia for biting.

Mel's comeback stream on June 24, 2020 was banned twice by YouTube, resulting in her being called a BANpire, and having a censor bar around her chest to circumvent the bans.
According to Yuzuki Choco[40], before the 3rd Generation of talents was introduced, you didn't know who else was debuting in your generation until the day of debut. Starting at Gen 3, talents would know and hang out with each other before debut.
