Need opinions: Haunted Doll vs Bunny Girl for a VTuber concept?

[MochiMode__]

Hey Nesters! I have been helping a friend brainstorm their first VTuber avatar, and we have landed on two different directions. One’s a haunted vintage doll vibe, cracked porcelain skin, creepy-cute energy, kind of gothic and mysterious. The other is a high-energy bunny girl, bright, playful, and full of classic anime charm.

We are honestly stuck because they both sound fun, but also super different in terms of vibe and how they might be received. So I thought I would bring it here. What would you be more curious to check out if you saw them debut?

Oof, that’s a tough one—they both have serious main character energy! Personally, I’d be super curious about the haunted doll, especially if they leaned into unsettling lore or had moments where the cracks “spread” mid-stream. But bunny girl is such a classic for a reason—instant comfort watch. Is your friend more into spooky storytelling or high-energy banter?

I’d probably click on the haunted doll first, just because that aesthetic isn’t as common, and it has huge potential for weird, cool lore drops. But the bunny girl route is super versatile—great for collabs, easy to meme. Depends on what kind of community they’re hoping to build, honestly.

Haunted doll all the way. There’s something so fun about a creepy-cute aesthetic that isn’t just horror—like a doll that bakes cursed cookies or does ASMR with a Ouija board. That said, bunny girl has way broader appeal if they want to play it safe early on. Have they thought about a hybrid? Like a possessed bunny plush?

[NekoNova]

Can’t lie—I’d probably follow both. But if we’re talking what would stand out in a sea of anime girls, haunted doll has the edge. Especially if they lean into the vintage, creaky-toy-box vibe. But if your friend’s personality is more chaotic sunshine, bunny girl might come more naturally.

Honestly depends on how committed they are to the bit. Haunted doll is super cool but probably takes more energy to keep up the mood consistently. Bunny girl gives more room to just be themself and still match the model vibe. Do they lean more toward spooky storytelling or variety streaming chaos?

[NightSky]

Both sound amazing, but I think haunted doll wins for sheer vibe. There’s so much untapped potential there—imagine lore videos, glitchy model moments, weird lullaby outros. If they’re feeling bold, go creepy. If they want mass appeal and collab-friendly energy, bunny’s the safer pick. What kind of content are they thinking of doing? That might tip the scale.

Both are cool, but it depends on vibe

Haunted Doll is great if you want something spooky, mysterious, or lore-heavy. You’ll stand out more and can get really creative with effects.

Bunny Girl is fun, flirty, and familiar super versatile, but more common.
Or mix them? A cute haunted bunny could be a unique twist!

@MochiMode__ Both sound awesome, but I would be super curious about the haunted doll, creepy cute always grabs attention and feels really unique. Definitely memorable.

Both are cute, but I would go with Haunted Doll. It feels more unique and spooky in a fun way.

Haunted doll. Way more original and eye-catching. Bunny girls are cute but overdone. The doll aesthetic has presence.

I would go with Haunted Doll if you want something spooky and different.
Bunny Girl is cute and fun, but the doll idea feels more unique.

Both are great, but I would go with Haunted Doll because according to me it is unique

@echodusk Totally feel you! The haunted doll direction does feel fresh and kind of underexplored in VTubing. Thanks for chiming in, I’ll pass that vote along!

[MochiMode__]

@cloud That’s exactly what we were thinking! Bunny Girl is a safe bet, but the Haunted Doll feels like it could really stand out. Appreciate the insight!

[MochiMode__]

@speedybee Yes! “Presence” is the word we kept circling back to. Love that take, it helps validate where we were leaning. Thanks so much!

Spooky but fun is such a sweet spot, right? I think we might just have to try some doll concepts out visually and see what clicks.

“Creepy cute always grabs attention”, I love that phrasing. There’s a definite power in aesthetics that turn heads and stick in your memory. Appreciate your input!

@NovaRebel Ooo a haunted bunny mash-up?? That’s such a wild twist, and I weirdly love it.

You absolutely nailed the pros and cons. I hadn’t even thought about glitchy model moments and weird lullaby outros, but now I can’t unsee it.
