Personality
aritai is cheerful and energetic, and enjoys having engaging conversations with her chat. While she is generally warm and friendly, she can be very assertive and is not afraid to talk back. Since English is not her first language, she often finds herself in funny situations because she misinterprets words or struggles with proper pronunciation.
In addition to being a VTuber herself, she is also a big fan of other VTubers, such as Nimi Nightmare and Todoroki Hajime.
Appearance
ari has blue eyes (orange in the original design), blonde hair, and several cheetah-inspired features, such as animal ears, a tail and face marks. She does not have human ears. Her current design, which is inspired by the Frutiger Aero design trend, features an oversized, off-shoulder jacket over a blue top and an animated fish tank skirt.
Background
Prior to her debut, ari was occasionally streaming Final Fantasy XIV and other games to her friends. As a fan of Kizuna Ai and through her friends, she was exposed to VTubing in general and became a fan of various VTubers in hololive. She was convinced to start streaming as a VTuber by a friend and created her own PNGtuber model, which she ultimately never ended up using.
Mascot and fans
- Her fans are officially called "areaders" (ari + readers), though they are sometimes referred to as "aribugs" ** areaders are portrayed as mice ** areaders were designed by RizetsuArie ** Previously, the full name was "arigglereaders" (ari + wiggle + readers)
Trivia
- She speaks German, English, as well as basic Dutch, French and Portuguese.
- When starting out, ari had great difficulty pronouncing the English "r" sound, especially in words such as "squirrel" and "barrel".
- Despite being a feline VTuber, she is scared of cats.
- She is obsessed with Coke Zero and dislikes drinking plain water.
- Growing up, she almost exclusively played free-to-play MMORPGs. Later on, she began playing League of Legends and started skipping school because of it.
- She has almost 500 days of in-game playtime in Final Fantasy XIV.
- The name "aritai" comes from a story in which a child pointed at ari in a zoo and claimed that she's "a real tiger" (a-ri-tai).
- Her name is written in lowercase because "all letters are equally important (and a lowercase 'a' looks friendlier)".
