## Character Lore

Before joining hololive, Fubuki lived as a mountain fox in the forests of Ehime Prefecture, spending much of her time sleeping. In Japanese folklore, foxes possess the ability to transform into various forms, and Fubuki took hololive as an opportunity to live among humans .

Her name holds meaning: "Fubuki" translates to "blizzard" in Japanese, while "Shirakami" roughly means "white above" or "whiteout" — appropriate given her identity as an Arctic fox .

She carries a key on her waist, which belongs to her grandfather's treasure chest. She received the key long ago but doesn't know where the treasure chest is located .

## Personality Profile

### The Cheerful Fox

Fubuki is usually always cheerful and excited, singing little songs and making many in-jokes. She is shy when confronted with new circumstances, and when embarrassed, she "hides" at the bottom of the screen with only her fox ears peeking up .

Despite her shy demeanor, she genuinely enjoys connecting with her viewers and finds joy in social interaction . She pays close attention to her kouhai's streams and often watches hololive streams as a way to relax .

### The Meme Queen

She has extensive knowledge of internet memes and otaku culture, frequently using old memes and creating new ones. This has earned her the title "Meme Queen" among fans . Her iconic laugh "nyahaha~" has become a staple, and her phrases like "YA-BE" and "Doko mitendayo?" are often repeated across fan communities .

### The Cunning Gamer

She has a cunning, ruthless, and twisted side, shown most often when playing "Project Winter" with other VTubers. She has described herself as a 'hunter' and has displayed extreme skill, to the point of nearly winning a 1 versus 4 battle entirely on her own, as well as a methodical thought process .

### The Workaholic

Fubuki is known for pushing herself hard. In 2020, she took a one-week holiday at management's insistence — her first holiday since her debut . Despite being a workaholic, she maintains her cheerful personality even during intense streaming schedules.

### The Spice Warrior

She can eat extremely spicy food without flinching — even consuming "激辛MAX END" while playing Apex Legends and calling it delicious. This contrasts sharply with other hololive members' reactions to the same food .

## The Fox Who Is Not a Cat

A running joke is that Fubuki is constantly mistaken for a cat . Despite being an arctic fox, viewers often label her as a cat — either accidentally or intentionally to provoke a cute reaction. Fubuki routinely plays along with the joke, though she will firmly correct anyone who seriously mistakes her identity .

She uses the Japanese onomatopoeia for foxes — "kon" — as a signature sound, and corn (which sounds similar) has become one of her in-jokes, often seen in her channel and Twitter content . She occasionally meows anyway, leading to ongoing jokes about her "cat-like" behavior.

---

## Kurokami Fubuki — The Dark Side

Fubuki has a dark side roommate and companion named Kurokami (often called Kurokami-san or Kuro-chan). They have known each other for a long time. Kurokami represents the darker, more domineering S-side of Fubuki's personality .

Initially antagonistic and cruel toward Fubuki, Kurokami has since decided to live peacefully with her . Despite being an antagonist, there are times when Fubuki has "slapped" her, and Kurokami has mentioned that she likes Fubuki because she does her grooming for her .

**Kurokami Information:**

- Birthday: September 6

- Favorite drink: Cola

- Favorite food: Meat

- Calls her fans "Servants" (サーヴァント, "Geboku" meaning "underlings")
