Personality
Reiyu is a bubbly, energetic, and witty Gyaru Geisha Ghost Gamer VTuber with an unhinged, joy-filled laugh. She is quick to say whatever joke comes to her mind no matter how lewd and often regrets it or breaks character laughing. She is a warm-hearted and kind individual, stating that her number one goal in her (after)life is to make her ghostling family laugh. You will often find her thanking viewers by name for making her laugh or for guiding her through a game.
Reiyu has a deep love for videogames, especially ones with "interesting premises or mechanics" and "fast-paced challenging games with tight controls." Her favorite videogame genres are Action Roguelikes, Rhythm, Mystery, and Visual Novels. Even while playing difficult games, Reiyu is able to banter back and forth with her chat. Reiyu also has an unusually open backseating policy because she likes going into a game blind and being guided patiently through a game. She dislikes reading guides and wikis because "it feels too much like studying," and prefers learning from viewers since it feels more hands-on.
Reiyu has also admitted she's "too much of a zoomer" to enjoy retro games, but is not opposed to playing them if she enjoys the story or gameplay. She has admitted that she doesn't enjoy fighting and racing games because she sucks at them, but she will still give them her best shot for the ghostlings.
There are few people as passionate about lewd and "cultured content" as Reiyu is. Reiyu enjoys lewd humor and maintains a 18+ space around her streams. She finds lewd humor peak because it's absurd and inoffensive. As she puts it, "Jokes on my channel are not necessarily safe for work, but they're always safe for homies."
Despite being laid-back and chill, Reiyu's maturity and intelligence often comes through in her interactions. She does not hesitate to call out behavior that she finds unacceptable and encourages her viewers to be kind. Reiyu's conversation topics sometimes touch on serious matters, but she continues to offer respectful takes on these subjects.' Reiyu has a Bachelor of Science and Master of Science in Biology. She minored in Social Psychology and Chemistry. She also achieved a 133 IQ on the Mensa IQ Challenge live on stream, to the bewilderment of the ghostlings. Reiyu states, "It's more fun to bimbofy someone who has high IQ."
Appearance and design
Reiyu has two-tone hair that is pink and teal at the ends. The teal ends of her hair glow in the dark.
Reiyu's Poltergeisha outfit is a colorful kimono whose sleeves falls into the shape of a butterfly's wings. The outfit contains several motifs revolving around death and reincarnation.
Reiyu's "Gamer Gyaru" outfit is a school uniform with a butterfly-shaped bow, a red-purple jacket, and red skirt. Notably, Reiyu has two shorter nails on her right hand. This outfit is jampacked with accessories that reference Reiyu's favorite games including:
* Her kimono is tucked in right over left, which is only done so on corpses during a funeral. The correct way to tuck in a kimono when you're alive is left over right.
* On top of having butterflies sprinkled throughout her design, her kimono sleeves drape down into the shape of a butterflies wings. Butterflies symbolize transformation, metamorphosis, rebirth, resurrection, and triumph of the spirit and soul over the material world.
* In her hair ornament, Reiyu has red spider lily flowers. In Japanese culture, these flowers represent death and the afterlife.
* Reiyu hides a mole under a sakura blossom sticker and she also has sakura flowers throughout her design. Due to their transient blooming cycle, sakura symbolize the cycle of life, death, and reincarnation.
* Reiyu's two-tone hair fades from pink to light blue. As shown in Reiyu's lore video, the light blue of Reiyu's hair only appeared after death and glows in the dark. The two colors are intentionally inverted colors of one another, meant to symbolize a purgatorial intersection between life and death.

Reiyu's videogame challenge runs
Reiyu is extremely skilled at videogames and often adds extra insane challenges to already challenging games. This is due to her self-proclaimed sadomasochism. For example, she played the following on stream:
* DOOM Eternal and DLC on UItra-Violence/Nightmare, drunk.
* Dark Souls 3 and DLC and killed all bosses (including optional ones) blind, drunk, wearing no armor, and only using a club or katana.
* Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice blind, drunk, and on the Demon Bell difficulty as soon as she could find it. She has beaten the Shura and Purification ending this way and is currently playing through the True Ending with no Kuro's Charm and Demon Bell.
* Sifu, drunk.
* Elden Ring blind, solo, no item, no summons, no armor, and katana-only. She beat most challenging bosses this way, including Malenia, the Blade of Miquella.
* Pacifist Undertale run without using items and without taking off the Bandage equip. (All to get a dialogue line of acknowledgement from Sans.) Later, she played Deltarune and beat hidden bosses Spamton and Jevil without using items to heal.
* Everhood on Expert, having notably beat the Dev Gnomes and Light Being.
* Yakuza 0 on Hard, notably defeating the two endgame secret bosses you get for 100%ing the substories in the game. Reiyu actually spent 6 miserable hours fighting one of them with a severely under leveled Kiryu after not realizing she had to save prior to the boss fight. She subsequently 100%'d the substories of Yakuza Kiwami and Yakuza Kiwami 2 and fought their bosses on hard as well.

Profile
Due to hardship endured during her life and her sudden untimely death, Reiyu wants to spend her afterlife playing games with her ghostlings without worries. It is Reiyu's self-assigned job to escort ghostlings through purgatory and towards their reincarnation, but in return, she asks that the ghostlings guide her in videogames before their time in purgatory arrives.
In Reiyu's Lore Video "The Promise", a still-alive, fully pink-haired Reiyu is seen performing various activities including dancing, working at a daycare/orphanage, doing lab work, and working as a cashier. While bicycling home in the dark, she is hit by a truck. She awakens in purgatory, her hair now tinged with bright blue, glowing ends.

Community gags
Here are a few of the recurring gags on Reiyu's channel:
* Use code PEGAHOMIE for 10% off. This is Reiyu's discount code that first started with Gamersupps, who she is no longer partnered with, but the legendary code has since extended to other partnerships, such as with OtonaJP.
* "Five" or "5." This gag started during a Lewd Club stream when Reiyu said she could never do a countdown during certain activities because she would "lose on 5."
* At any given time, there are only ten homies perceiving a Reiyu stream. This gag started when Reiyu admitted that she got nervous looking at her viewer count, so she pretends that there are only ten people in her streams. Chat plays along.
* Master Mistress Reiyu GuiGui MS MS. Reiyu has a Master's in Biology and ended up receiving two diplomas by mistake. While Reiyu only has the one Master's, chat likes to joke that she has two or more.
* Juicebox, the annihilator. Reiyu has an adorable cat named Juicebox who likes to stick her paws out when sitting. Chat has a gag where they will use the reiyuJuicebox emote followed by a statement from Juicebox, usually revolving around murder and destruction.
* Rei-SMR. Reiyu ASMR is notoriously cursed. It's too hard to explain, you simply have to attend.
Quotes

* "one must imagine sisyphus feminized and locked in a cock cage (happy)"
* "After I snap my fingers, you will believe cock-to-prostate contact is handholding!"
* When asked about the difference between Darkest Dungeon I and II: "Let me put it this way, Darkest Dungeon I is like cock and ball torture: the game. Darkest Dungeon II is like cock and ball torture but your testicles remember the pains of ball past."
* "Can I nut you goodbye?"
* "D-don't cut off all my limbs and carry my torso around as your personal onahole, please!"
