Personality
Ran has a tomboyish, outgoing and mischievous personality.
Appearance
Originally, she had bright green short hair and eyes with emerald green irises, with bear ears and a bear head hairclip. Her outfit had a large green and white polka dot bow around her neck, plus a green badge with her name Ran (らん, written in hiragana) and a white shirt with green plaid skirt.
After Ran received a redesign on 9 December 2023, she now has mint green short hair with pink highlights and long twintails (alternatively a single ponytail) at the back. Her irises are now lime green and she no longer has bear ears, which used to be an integral part of her design. For her new default outfit, she wears a black-and-mint green open jacket, on top of a black-collared short sleeveless white top that exposes her upper chest and midriff, and black hot pants with asymmetrical thigh belts.
Her original cute bear girl aesthetic has been changed in favor of a completely human appearance with a cooler and more action-oriented style, and the bear motif has been moved to a green bear plushie in her new design. This plushie wears the hood from her 5th outfit.
Background
Her channel was created on 4 June 2018, while her Twitter account was created on May, she debuted on 9 June.
