How much should a VTuber’s model reflect their lore or personality?

[Sam]

Do you prefer when a VTuber's design matches their backstory/lore (e.g. celestial beings with ethereal outfits, demons with dark aesthetics), or do you like when they break expectations (like a chaotic gremlin with an angelic look)?

How much should design and personality/lore align—or clash—for maximum entertainment?

Let’s hear your thoughts, favorite examples, or even hot takes.

I think it depends. Some models match the lore perfectly, but others just go for vibes and that works too. Not everything has to be deep.

@Sam I love when there’s a bit of a twist, like a sweet looking angel VTuber who’s actually chaotic. It keeps things fun and unpredictable, but a solid match between design and lore can be super satisfying too.

It should match a bit, just to show your vibe. But the personality matters more in the end.

A little is good! The model should hint at your vibe or story, but your personality is what really matters.
