As the voice it wants to hear so bad calls its name
To you, decked in colors shining oh so vividly
I dedicate this here melody
I can't fade away like this, not this way

(No, not this day)

    open/close all folders 

    A-E 
  • A-Cup Angst: Zigzagged. She alternates between not caring at all or caring very little (even making several jokes about it herself), to threatening to use a shotgun on a viewer who brought up the topic.
  • Abhorrent Admirer: She tends to get very flirtatious with Aqua, with the latter calling her a strange person. This hasn't gone unnoticed by Towa.
  • The Ace:
    • She is a very powerful singer and her peers are not shy about praising her ability. For outside testimonials, she amazed music industry veteran Taku Inoue when they were collaborating for his first major label debut, with him judging her very first recording submission of the song 3:12 to be more than good enough to use for the final product.
    • On the gaming side of things, Suisei is also a monster at Tetris, much to the amazement (and sometimes a bit of horror) of the people who dare challenge her. She's considered to be something of The Dreaded among Hololive talents in this regard, as nobody would be brave enough to dare playing against her, and the one time IRyS (actually Baelz posing as her) casually implied that she would like to challenge the singer to a Tetris match, the chat overwhelmingly begged her not to for her (IRyS's) own good. The only time she's ever lost at Tetris against a Vtuber was with Haato (with a set she was trying to use); Shigure Ui with *only* handicaps, since Ui wanted to handicap her and only lost once (17 wins, one loss at Puyo Puyo Tetris), and Marine at Puyo Puyo Tetris, since the pirate is no slouch at Puyo Puyo herself.
  • Adaptational Villainy:
  • Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Her parents found out about her Vtuber lifestyle when she saw her mother connecting her phone to their television, and started watching all of her videos. Her father was watching intently and comments the way she talked is pretty much "Yup, that's my daughter all right".
  • Ambiguously Human: Despite having an appearance similar to a human, she proclaims herself that she isn't one. Upon being asked what species she is, she stated herself as an "idol". She also claims that she ages once every 250 years, a trait that isn't particular to humans, but alluding to invokedlong-period comet's revolution period.
  • Angrish: Whenever she gets angry, she makes barely comprehensible words while pissed off. Games such as Mario Kart 8 and Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy showcases this well.
  • Apologetic Attacker: She holds the distinct honor of apologizing to her victims in Project Winter and laugh at the same time.
  • Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: As much as she enjoys doing random acts of murder, in the case of games like Thief Simulator, she enjoys shattering every toilet she finds.
  • Art Evolution: Her avatar was designed by herself, which gave a much basic design and she also designed most of her clothes until Teshima Nari became her artist. From then on her model was remade in collaboration with her input.
  • Ascended Fangirl:
    • As a fan of the Love Live! anime series, she ordered the Love Live! Sunshine!! album Saint Snow but mistaken its released date. Then Asami Tano found out and retweeted her Twitter post about it and even attended her Karaoke, to her surprise. And now, she gets to host Music Space with Tano as her guest.
    • She is also a fan of Cardfight!! Vanguard due to her sister getting her into it, with Shadow Paladin being her preferred deck in Zero. She eventually had a limited Japanese-exclusive event as a card, played the game on stream, and did a stream with Bushiroad's president.
    • She's a huge fan of RAISE A SUILEN from BanG Dream!. For her 5th Anniversary/Birthday Live, she got to perform a duet of Michizure with RAS's bassist/vocalist LAYER, followed by performing HELL! or HELL? with the full band.
  • Ascended Meme: Her official Nendroid figure gives her an axe as an accessory along with a swappable face with a smug grin based on her infamous Ax-Crazy Comedic Sociopathy. Her fifth 2D costume equips her with a bardiche or poleaxe as an accessory by default, again based on her Ax-Crazy Comedic Sociopathy.
  • Attractive Bent-Gender: During her off-collab with Aqua, Kanata, and Coco; she has a male persona called "Meteor-kun".
  • Awesome by Analysis: She has a very quick thinking skills when she plays games, which contributed to her skills in Tetris. She has really good detective skills, which she uses playing Among Us.
  • Ax-Crazy: Miko may had pioneered Ax Crazy Comedic Sociopathy in hololive, but Suisei defined the terms to the point that she's a walking definition of both tropes. As such:
    • Part of her humor in her streams is her Comedic Sociopathy, where she's quick to resort to violence or even murder when possible. Even when she's not acting as the villain, she's a Heroic Comedic Sociopath at best. Project Winter has shown that she takes both roles effectively, as she will legitimately scare a Traitor as a Survivor while she will kill everyone given the chance as a Traitor (though she's still calculating enough to avoid bum-rushing her targets).
    • If she wants to kill everyone in a game she's playing (if they are not combatless game), she will start killing people in her line of sight, even in games where it's a Non-Standard Game Over for such actions, but wonton murder definitely brings this side out of her. And it's hilarious.
    • Speaking of Grand Theft Auto V, this reaches its zenith when she was playing this of all games where she predictably goes around and running people over her car to the point she once attempted this being the goal to kill 1,000,000 people in the game and barely reached that number, but she was really into killing every pedestrian in her line of sight. And this is after she tried to shed her reputation as a psychopath for 2021 New Years.
  • Berserk Button:
  • Beware the Nice Ones: As Project Winter has proven, Suisei is very effective in hiding her true nature as Cute and Psycho. Even in collaboration games, those who experienced it first-hand are very wary of her when they play as Survivors and she is one of them. Matsuri is Properly Paranoid due to the Humiliation Conga she experienced from her.
  • BFG: A few of the MVs for Midnight Grand Orchestra's songs show her wielding a shotgun-like weapon named Allegro that's about as thick as her arm and is capable of effectively deleting targets with mini-black holes.
  • Big Good: In her collaboration stream with Mea Kagura, Choco, Inaba Haneru, Amano Pikamee, Tomari Mari, Hinokuma Ran, and Yunohara Izumi, she plays as a Survivor three times in a row, and since she's the most experienced at the game, she easily offs the Traitors while guiding the less experienced players to the goals. It doesn't stop her from being a Creepy Good after offing a Traitor, she steals their hearts to eat. Even Choco, who is a fellow Survivor, was taken aback by her offering a heart to stave off hunger. Even when she left the helicopter to rescue Mea Kagura, the worst she did was Mercy Kill everyone when the rescue chopper leaves them behind, which is far more beneficial than what she did to Matsuri.
  • Birds of a Feather: Suisei and Calli greatly admire each other for their respective singing prowess, with Calli mentioning on Trash Taste that Suisei is one of her two favourite senpai (the other being AZKi), and Suisei affectionately replying to Calli's chat encouragements with "I love you!". Their original songs also sometimes touch upon the same subject, with "GHOST" and "Red" both expressing the feeling of making a lasting impression in the VTuber scene.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: As a traitor in one of her Project Winter streams, she can pull off a nice girl façade before showing her true villainous colors by manipulating survivors like Miko into getting killed.
  • Blatant Lies: While Suisei doesn't have the greatest grasp of English, she does understand enough to answer basic questions. She once responded to accusations from Gura in Among Us with claiming she didn't speak English after she ran out of other excuses despite understanding the entire conversation. And this was after she had already participated in English conversations earlier in the collab. It threw off everyone else enough that it actually worked, much to Suisei's amusement.
  • Born Unlucky: She does not have the greatest luck when it comes to RNG, which becomes a Running Gag among fans that RNG is specifically against her in luck-based and gacha games.
  • Brains and Brawn: She's often depicted as the Brawn to Taku Inoue's Brains in Midnight Grand Orchestra's MVs, fighting on the front lines while Taku serves as her Mission Control. It's fitting, considering their dynamic as a singer-producer duo.
  • Bring It: When she discovered that IRySnote  issued a challenge that she could beat her at Tetris, she wastes no time in accepting her challenge.
  • Brutish Character, Brutish Weapon: When she plays Project Winter, her favorite weapon to craft is a golden axe to fit her in-game "crazy axe-murderer" persona. If she's not using a poison rifle, chances are that she will use the axe in melee range. She also has a golden axe as her emoji for her channel membership, and her maid outfit upgrades the axe to a full-on halberd.
  • Butt-Monkey: Not on the same level like, say, Miko, but Suisei will often be in the butt of jokes when she gets a bit sociopathic, or when she gets in a collaboration with horror games to the point where her fellow idols wastes no time in teasing her if she gets too scared.
  • Car Fu: If she ever plays a game with driving involved, vehicular manslaughter ensues. In other cases, she's not allowed to kill people if the game enforces Thou Shalt Not Kill.
  • Canon Discontinuity: Pieces was initially designated as Suisei's fourth original song, and was affiliated with BiliBili. However, as a result of the Taiwan incident and Cover Corp being considered Persona Non Grata, GHOST was chosen as her fourth original song instead.
  • Cassandra Truth: If she says it's Not Me This Time in collaboration games, she's telling the truth. More often than not, her friends will immediately suspect her of killing someone when she didn't do it. What doesn't help her case is her tendency to work by herself, and she is often suspected of being the Traitor (Project Winter) or Impostor (Among Us) until proven innocent. What doesn't help is that she is good at lying to avoid suspicion while others would fall for it when she does play those roles, something Matsuri knows by experience.
  • Catchphrase: Sui-chan wa... kyou mo kawaii! translation
  • Cherry Tapping: While playing Tales of Arise, she confesses that she had no idea how to change any equipment while she played her first Tales Series game, Tales of Destiny 2. Somehow, she made it all the way to the Final Boss. Which meant that she managed to beat many bosses, including Barbatos!
  • Comedic Sociopathy: Good lord. There's a reason why fans call her "Suiciopath":
    • Multiplayer games such as Project Winter and single player games such as VR horror or Hitman (2016) has shown time and again that she can be a bit out there when she wants to. And it's not limited to games either. When she had a sleepover ASMR with Coco and Kanata in the latter's apartment, she makes questionable remarks that Coco calls her out on, and Kanata outright calls her a psychopath. She was actively bloodthirsty during the 2020 Minecraft Sports Festival where she wants her team to kill the opposing team. And then there's the whole "Kill a million people in GTAV". There's a reason why fans in the west calls her "Suiciopath".
    • After the release of Hololive Alternative short music video, she states she wants to be a Heel on her Twitter if there's an opportunity for her to be in one. Naturally, fans finds this funny.
    • This nearly becomes a Flanderization of her character where she'll give either give a Death Glare or an Implied Death Threat in the Holo no Graffiti episodes.
    • If her killing her friends in Rust isn't enough, she decides to feed her horse boar ribs on her way home.
  • Competition Freak:
    • She has a habit of getting mad at herself for not trying hard at some of the games she plays. Her Muse Dash streams often feature her spending dozens of minutes attempting to hit every note in particularly hard songs.
    • On her Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics stream, she spends a lot of time trying to beat the hardest CPU opponent in 6 Ball Puzzle (and subsequently losing her temper a lot).
    • Luna's 3D debut stream has her playing a Space Invaders knockoff called Holovaders, where she expresses confusion at the seemingly impossible high score of 1770. Suisei later admitted that it was her high score, which she attained when Luna offered to let her try the game before her 3D stream started. She couldn't help but try hard at the game when a staff member told her that the game is surprisingly difficult.
    • Her interview with Kiara gives in insight of this: She started playing Tetris when her family owned a copy, and she played nonstop. She then found out there was an online competitive version and she started playing with her friends online until she encountered a really good player who thoroughly thrashed her. She then developed her competitive freakishness and discovered she really hates losing, and started practicing until she meets that player again, thus her expertise in Tetris and her competitiveness.
    • On her radio series co-starring VA Tadokoro Azusa, Suisei expresses a bit of frustration that her radio show isn't the first Vtuber/VA radio show in Japan. That honor instead goes to Yukoku Roberu of holostars and VA Yuki Ono, having debut mere days prior Suisei and Azusa's show.
  • Cosmic Motifs: Stars and Comets. All of her costumes have some form of star motif, either in the form of individual stars or in the form of a starry-sky print. Her eyes even have star-shaped glints. And then, of course there's her name.
  • Costume Evolution: Along with Art Evolution, her first outfits were made by herself, and she would switch between costumes either during talk streams or music videos. Come 2019, after her Art Evolution, her permanent main outfit is a gray plaid outfit along with a hat with a crown. Her skirt shows her star motif along with two chains. She also has a blue kimono in when she wears occasionally and New Years, and her 2020 outfit is a sleeveless shirt, a new hat, a sidetail, a large jacket, orange socks, and a longer skirt and a pair of glasses. She occasionally removes the glasses and jacket in some streams.
  • Cowardly Lion: Despite being scared of horror games (and monsters in Mine Craft), she will brave through her share of unknown horrors through the end of the game. Moreso if she is allowed to fight back as shown in her playthrough of Biohazard 7.
  • Creator Backlash: Played for Laughs in-universe. When she chose to visit a fansite dedicated to her, she noticed her introductory stream was in it, and gave it a watch. She was less than happy when she remembers how hard she was trying to sound cute.
  • Creator Breakdown: Also discussed in-universe. Her own songs are actually based around this. This is heavily prominent with Tenkyuu and GHOST, especially the latter and explained to Kiara the context behind it. She not only wants to be remembered for her own accomplishments, but that other Vtubers shouldn't be forgotten as well as a Take That! towards people who dislike Vtubers after their increasing rise in popularity.
  • Creepy Good: Even when she doesn't play Traitor on Project Winter, she has a tendency to creep out actual Traitors when she plays a Survivor.
  • Crossover: She is good friends with Inui Toko from Nijisanji. Like Suisei, she is also regarded as one of the most talented singers of her respective company and the two regularly record duets for each other's channels.
  • Cute and Psycho: Gained a reputation with her fans as a psychopath, stemming from her ruthlessness in Project Winter whenever she's one of the traitors and expanding into any game or situation where there's an option to be horrifically violent. Sometimes she continues to play this trope straight, other times she comically denies allegations of her psychopathy, but in general she's pretty amused at her fans' perception of her. It's even invokedAscended Fanon in the Hololive animated shorts, where she kills Miko, Rushia, and Ayame by using them as Tetris blocks cheerfully in her debut episode.
  • Daddy's Girl: Suisei apparently talks like her own father. When she talks about how her parents found out her Vtuber and idol career, she mentions how he was watching intently and noted her diction was similar to his.
  • Dark Horse Victory: Her winning the 2021 New Year's Hololive Mario Kart tournament came out of nowhere, and none of the other members or fans expected it.
  • Damn You, Muscle Memory!: After playing Grand Theft Auto V since the start of 2021, she developed a habit of running people over she sees on sidewalks. When she returns playing Thief Simulator, she does the same thing, forgetting that killing is a Non-Standard Game Over.
  • Dead Person Impersonation: She enjoys pulling this tactic during Project Winter by either impersonating a survivor (such as Miko or Fubuki) or a fellow Traitor (Aki Rosenthal, who was poisoned and killed by wolves).
  • Delinquents: Suisei sometimes enjoys talking or acting like a yankī when she's trying to be both comedic and intimidating at the same time.
  • Determinator:
    • She was actually rejected from a hololive audition at least once, but that never stopped her from pursuing her independent Virtual YouTuber career. Fast forward a year and her 3D debut within hololive has the production values of an actual idol concert and it's associated twitter hashtag was a #1 trend globally. Fubuki, who had the most subscribers at the time, firmly believed Suisei should be the one with the most subs after seeing her 3D concert.
    • When it comes to gacha games, she won't stop rolling. Whenever she plays a gacha game on and off-stream, she is determined to get the gacha she wants, which includes paid and unpaid gacha.
    • She spent 6 hours determined to beat VIP mode in Tetris 99, and finally manages to beat it despite having to eat during those 6 hours, and facing the exact same stream snipers over and over again, despite the chat's concern for her health. Her determination was so great that her chat went from being concerned for her health and sleep schedule to cheering her on until she managed to get first place.
    • When she joined with Aqua and Towa for the gamer maid's first and last tournament, she sacrificed all of her free time and a lot of her sleep to improve by leaps and bounds because she wants to properly support Aqua in the latter's only tournament showing.
    • Work-related, she spends most of her time practicing singing and dancing that she only streams when she has the time. It's through her own hard work that she is constantly improving her singing voice, though there are times where she sounds visibly tired during talk streams. But it pays off on how much she wants to work on the songs she wants to cover and her personal efforts behind them.
  • Dissonant Serenity: She is rather casual with all the death and destruction she causes in multiplayer games or games that even allows her to do it. Such as killing her friends in Project Winter or being chased by a bear.
  • Double Take: When she's knocked out of musical chairs, she looks at the camera twice in disbelief due to the fact that she lost to Miko.
  • The Dreaded:
    • Needless to say, her fellow idols became personally afraid of her, particularly Matsuri, who has every reason to be very wary and Properly Paranoid of her in collaboration games, even if they're on the same side. It doesn't help that Suisei enjoys butchering her friends in collaboration games like Project Winter and Among Us with a sadistic glee and laughing at their suffering, because it amuses her doing so. Not even guest collaborators are safe, even as a Heroic Comedic Sociopath. There's a reason she has her well-deserved reputation as an ax-crazy Suicopath.
    • Funnily enough, her victory in the 2021 Mario Kart 8 DX tournament collaboration is exactly why every other girl are trying to avoid Group B, the group both her and Aqua are in for the 2022 DX race. Suisei herself finds it funny that the other girls are going out of their way to not get set up in that group.
    • Playing Rust reinforces this. Koyori got killed by Suisei in their first encounter to the point the latter took her MP5, and found Sakura who was on her way to her house. And then both her and Sakura got ambushed by her. And then after getting revived, Suisei decides to return her MP5, only to shoot her anywaynote . In her stream of the game, when she went to the snow area for loot, and Miko also happens to be in the area, Miko decides to scare her with warning shots. Once she finds out Miko was in the area, she camps inside a warehouse where her horse is in, and riddles her with bullets. And then Pekora decides to destroy her house, she was also fighting Miko at the time and stealing her items, and once Pekora gets shot, the latter pleads for her life in order for Suisei to not kill her. And then Matsuri, who has been relentlessly bullying her friends in Rust, wisely chose not to pick a fight with her.
  • Driven by Envy: Played for Laughs upon her first visit to hololive English's Minecraft server. On one side of the server's entrance tunnel, she notices a bunch of signs left by Japanese members gushing about their "dates" with the English members (conveniently glossing over the fact Sora, Kanata and Pekora came and left by themselves), prompting a quick "normies explode" from her and writing a sign reading "Loners are the best!" on the other side of the entrance tunnel in protest.
  • Drives Like Crazy: Predictably, she has played Grand Theft Auto V and becomes interested in the game, her driving skills are left to be desired (ironically, her starting character Franklin Clinton has the highest driving stat). She spends the majority of the stream deliberately running people over with her car. After watching her stream, her mother apparently sent her a message on LINE saying "Let me drive."
  • Does Not Like Spam: Suisei hates vegetables of all stripes, often pouting and sulking whenever someone tries to get her to eat one. This created a rather funny conflict when Iroha (a fangirl of Suisei who very much enjoys vegetables) joined hololive, and Suisei said she'd stand her ground even if it made Iroha cry.
  • Early-Installment Weirdness:
    • While her Comedic Sociopathy is consistent, during her early years, she had a high-pitched voice, her model (created by herself) often looked stiff, and appeared emotionless, even when she reacted to something. Her model since December 2019 has more fluid animation and emotional range, and her voice isn't as high-pitch. She returns with the model in January 30, 2021 after being demonetized on the day before as a re-debut. And then she visited a fan website dedicated to her where she decided to watch her old videos that were posted there, and the way her tone speaks when she hears her own voice in 2018 is cringe to her.
    • This was discussed in the HoloTalk Q&A session with Kiara Takanashi. She explained when VTubing was becoming a thing, she made her own model way before she joined hololive proper while independent. After Nari became her official artist, she felt her old model was missing something, and wished she could have done better with it.
  • Enfante Terrible: Told Akai Haato a story one time when she accidentally killed a frog by crushing it to death. Haato's reaction was calling Suisei a psychopath.
  • Engrish: On the end of her third Getting Over It stream, her constant failures that she started reading English comments, and her unique way of speaking and pronouncing English made her fans coin the term "Suinglish".
  • Epic Fail: In the EN/JP/ID Among Us collaboration, she made uncharacteristic blunders despite her performance in the previous collaboration where she only died once. This is due to language barrier, and when she tries to explain what she was doing, no one believes her, and she gets ejected. When she finally gets the chance to play an Impostor, she almost made the same mistakes as Miko. Her saving grace however is saying "I don't speak English" and Calliope didn't voted against her despite Gura being proven correct. Fans however speculate that she sounded very tired since anyone following her on Twitter knows that she went to work on that day, and work fatigue is the reason for the blunders. There's also the fact that in that particular instance Suisei did understand most of what was being said in that meeting, and used her not speaking english line as a last ditch effort to throw everyone off too much to vote her off.
  • Establishing Character Moment:
    • Her performance as a Traitor during Project Winter games has established her reputation as an Ax-Crazy psychopath among her fans and work partners alike.
    • Invokes this when Generation 5 was planning to play Minecraft together, and so Haachama and Subaru hatched a plan to blow up a large image of YAGOO while also blowing themselves up. The plan backfires as the TNT destroys the man-made platform, and just burn themselves to death. To G5's complete utter confusion.
  • Everyone Has Standards: Despite her sociopathy, she gets shocked in her GTAV run when she accidently runs over a dog. The same stream reveals that she has issues against abandoning animals, and that animals/pets are like family.
  • Evil Is Petty:
    • While she's one of the nicest girls, she is extremely petty when her Competition Freak tendencies leak out with her Comedic Sociopathy, such as butchering her friends in Project Winter or when she insults her would-be opponents in online games. Thief Simulator showcases that she enjoys shattering toilets on her way out.
    • When she was compromised by Gura in the Hololive JPN/ENG/INDO collaboration, she was singled out by her when she walked by Risu's body whom she killed not even seconds ago and Gura took notice. After playing dumb against Gura, she decides to target her, and killed off Gura when the gate opens right in front of Nene.
      Doors shut as Gura's following Calliope, separating her and leaving her alone with Suisei and Watson, both Impostors, and Gura starts panicking
      Suisei: Gura...you've been suspecting me a lot, haven't you?
  • Evil Laugh: Can sport a truly hearty one when she's enjoying herself too much or when she finally defeats a hardest A.I. at Speed.
  • Exorcist Head: She discovered how to rotate her head in MineCraft in unexpected ways. Mainly to creep her friends out when she isn't streaming and playing the game on her free time.
  • Exotic Eye Designs: Her iris highlights are stars.

    F-L 
  • Fairytale Motifs: Cinderella references pop up every so often in her music, usually to be subverted. In Stellar Stellar Suisei sings that she wants to be a Prince Charming "who goes and gets things done" rather than Cinderella "who waits forever". In Bibideba, references to glass slippers and carriages are made, while in the music video, Suisei's Animated Actor character tries to dance as a demure Cinderella character on a movie set, but quickly gets into a brawl with an abusive Prima Donna Director to defend her manager. The music video ends with her doing the dance sequence flawlessly in stylish modern clothes (portrayed by a live actor), implying that Suisei will always be her best self when she's taking the reins.
  • Fangirl:
    • Of idol mobile games such as Ensemble Stars! and The Idolmaster Cinderella Girls Starlight Stage. She also happens to be an Arte Refact fan. She is also a fan of the Love Live! anime, and when she was planning to buy the Saint Snow album, she caught the attention of Asami Tano on Twitter, and Tano herself watched her karaoke stream that same day. Suisei was freaking out when she discovered this.
    • She's a big admirer of Calli's music and outright named the reaper her oshi.
  • The Fashionista: According to the super stylish rich girl Lamy, Suisei has an amazing fashion sense and the confidence to pull off some bold outfit choices.
  • Fatal Flaw:
    • She is extremely prideful. She once pulled a 6-hour stream playing Tetris 99 in VIP mode trying to get first place, and she had to eat occasionally (it ended in 3AM JST). It actually took Amemiya, one of the most well-known Tetris player in Japan himself, to go in and help her out (who even asked fans to either snipe or support her. Fans chose snipe, but he chose to support her instead). While she was graceful that she won, she didn't accepted the win knowing someone helped her. And thus played one more game off-stream and had a legitimate win.
    • Playing Getting Over It made her quick to rush through the game without focusing, which (usually) throws her back in the beginning of the game. Half of the time, when she does get fair enough, she's so focused on beating the game instead of concentrating what she needs to do that she makes irrational mistakes.
  • Faux Affably Evil:
    • As a Traitor in Project Winter, her nice girl act is only a front to drop the Survivors' guard and kill them. This is proven when she kills Miko after seemingly leading Miko to safe place with questions regarding her concern ("Are you hurt?", "Are you dying?"), only to announce that she wants to savor the shrine maiden's heart.
    • In one of her Rust streams, she revived Koyori after getting shot and handed the coyote an MP5. Alas, it was also a ploy so the comet can shoot her again when she least expects it.
    • Despite her wish to stop being a psychopath for 2021, she continued being a psychopath anyway by killing pedestrians with her car in her Grand Theft Auto V stream of said year, as part of her "One Million Annihilation Plan". The reason for this is because she sees the pedestrians as coins to collect while practicing for the Mario Kart 8 DX new year's tournament. She doesn't live up to her psychopath reputation for nothing.
  • Friendship Moment: In her collaboration stream with guest Vtubers, near the end of their first round of Project Winter, Suisei could have left Mea Kagura behind while making her escape. But she chose to rescue her while the timer to escape was running out. Even though she Mercy Kills everyone else, it was the thought that counts, and it earned the Survivor's win since Choco was able to escape.
  • From Nobody to Nightmare: In her earliest Project Winter streams, she was relatively new to the game, and thus die in situations that were against her regardless of which side she was playing as. Come her collaboration with Shion, Miko, Roboco, Mio, Ayame, and Fubuki, she becomes a cunning strategist and misdirects her friends and ambush them as soon as they drop their guards, boosts her stats, and kills without mercy. Her collaboration with Matsuri, AkiRose, Fubuki, Coco, Kanata, Watame, and Roboco reaches that zenith where she kills four survivors in quick succession while Roboco was trying to kill Watame, and injures Matsuri before wearing Fubuki's character's clothes, imitates her, then finishes Matsuri off with her signature golden axe. And thus her Comedic Sociopathy status was born.
  • Fun with Acronyms: Uses an acronym "A.Y.T" for Aidoru YouTuber for her custom-made phone cases. When asked why she didn't abbreviate it as "A.V.T" (Aidoru Virtual Tuber), she already knew it would bring Unfortunate Names with the letters "A.V"note . The real meaning of the acronym, however, is "Anta no Kane de Yakiniku Tabe ni iku", which means "I'm gonna eat yakiniku using your money".
  • Future Me Scares Me: Inverted. When Miko told her the time they played Project Winter back in 2018, Miko remarks how psychotic she was back then. Suisei ends up finding her past self to be terrifying.
  • The Gambling Addict: She trends to roll a lot with gacha games she plays. Her luck isn't exactly great, but when she rolls, she goes all out. A Running Gag among fans is how awful her gacha luck is.
  • Gamer Chick:
    • She's very good at playing Tetris. She once managed to go head to head with the second best Teris 99 player in the world on stream, and only lost to them because she couldn't keep up with how fast the blocks were falling.
    • Outside of Tetris, she's very good in many games across many genres. It goes hand-in-hand with her competitive spirit and if she's not good at a game, she will be in short order. To put into perspective, she's one of Hololive's best Mario Kart racers and can keep up with Aqua and Towa in Apex Legends despite not being a regular player.
  • Genki Girl:
    • She has her moments when she gets very excitable depending on the topic at hand. Whether it's a concert she's preparing for, talk streams, or in group talks. Even if she sounds exhausted, her energy is still there thanks to her personal own efforts as an idol.
    • When Ensemble Stars is brought up, expect her to talk for a very long time on the topic. Especially since Sakuma Ritsu is her favorite Enstars character.
    • It shows especially in her collaboration with Subaru. The duck is easily the most energetic person in Hololive, but Suisei can match her without problem, unless it's morning.
  • Genre Shift: Her music shifts drastically. From J-Pop, to alternative rock, and rap, the latter thanks to her collaboration songs with Calli. Sometimes switching around depending on the tone of the songs.
  • Girl with Psycho Weapon: Axes and similar weapons, as a result of her antics in Project Winter. In the "Summer, Summer Go Away" hologra, she is depicted wielding an enormous golden halberd as large as herself and swings it around like it was as light as a feather.
  • Good Is Not Soft: Just because she plays a Survivor in Project Winter doesn't mean she won't kill a Traitor with the same sadistic glee she would as a Traitor. Heroic Comedic Sociopath exists for a reason.
  • Graceful Loser:
    • Zig-zagged. When she plays games with friends, she takes her losses in stride, although losing against anonymous opponents online irritates her. However, she does acknowledge a worthy opponent if they catch her attention. Yacht is one of the few games where she was pressing her luck when she was playing with Roboco, who beat her twice. Roboco's stream ends with a tie however (their first game was 6 Ball Puzzle).
    • In one particular animated short, she gets into an argument with Marine on who has better endurance, she simpily reads a book (or shadow reading), and rejecting a talent recruit while Marine was working out, and livestreaming with her generation which earns Marine's win. She gracefully takes the loss and makes peace with Marine.
  • Gratuitous English:
    • Her original songs "Next Color Planet" and "Now On Space" featured some English phrases.
    • Her attempts to speak to her English fans is this: After one too many frustrating ordeal playing Getting Over It, she decides to communicate with her English-speaking fans in her stream by pretending it's an English stream. Thus, coining the term "Suinglish" by her fans.
    • This actually comes to bite her when she did an Among Us collaboration with her, Luna, AkiRose, Roboco, Nene, Calliope, Gura, Amelia, Iofi, and Risu. As much as she's able to make really good arguments, she cannot do so when five out of ten collaborators knows English (Calliope, Gura, Amelia, Risu, and Iofi), so when she tries to make her defense, she was immediately booted off after finding too many bodies than warranted (which would make her a suspect if she found so many bodies in one round).
    • Generally speaking, her pronunciation is decent, and she knows how to sound the words (e.g., she pronounces "Oh my God" properly while most of her colleagues tend to pronounce it as "Oh my gah!"), though she is not exactly sure what the word means.
  • Has a Type: She likes anyone shorter than her. Kanata is significantly shorter than her, and thus their Pseudo-Romantic Friendship. It's not limited to girls as she's expressed interest in shorter men, though not at a level one would call her a Shotacon which, mind you, is her Berserk Button. This may be due to her used to being the tallest kid in her elementary school until she stopped growing past it. She also loves goth and punk styled women when she explained why she absolutely loves Calliope and mentioned multiple times that she has a thing for Lily the goth Duolingo girl.
  • Heroic Comedic Sociopath: On the times she's a Survivor in Project Winter, her sociopathy can be beneficial to others. If she was suddenly attacked by an unskilled Traitor, she wastes no time killing them as much as she would as a Traitor. In fact, she is also benevolent to a less skillful survivor despite her I Work Alone tendencies. Keep in mind the sociopath part of Heroic Comedic Sociopath still means she'll creep people out, such as eating hearts or offering someone a Traitor's heart.
  • Hidden Depths:
    • In her 100,000 subscriber milestone, she has mentioned her struggles to be an idol, and had a rough three years before she was able to join hololive, due to factors such as executive meddling from Inonaka Music, who underpromoted her and visibly cries when she brings it up. But after she was finally accepted in hololive after being rejected once, she truly earned her happy ending as she was able to become the idol she wanted to be.
    • Her songs have an overlying message of her struggles in becoming an idol, best shown in her first three original songs. Then there's "GHOST", where she feels her successes are fleeting, and thus wants to be more than just a memory; the plight isn't just about her, but other VTubers who had the same struggles as she did when she was independent, and it also serves as a Take That! towards people who dislike VTubers.
  • Horrifying the Horror: She is one of the few people to make Pekora fear for her life. If Pekora happens to play the same game Suisei is, no amount of war crimes would make Pekora get off the hook with Suisei, like the time Pekora decides to destroy her house, and Suisei manages to shoot her down, and Pekora has to beg for her life.
  • Huge Schoolgirl: When she was in elementary school, she used to be the tallest kid in her class. She eventually stopped growing at that point.
  • I Call It "Vera": She and Anemachi own a roomba that they named "Sakamata Chlo", after her orca junior. So shortened because there wasn't enough room for the last character.
  • I'm a Humanitarian: As a rule of funny, she enjoys eating hearts from other players in Project Winter, which is a real game mechanic.
  • Inconsistent Spelling: When writing her own name in the Latin alphabet, Suisei tends to write according to Nihon-shiki romanization or Kunrei-shiki romanization, according to both of which her family name is written as "Hosimati", rather than the more common Hepburn romanization, according to which her family name is written as "Hoshimachi". Likewise, when playing Among Us, her user name is usually "suityan", rather than "Sui-chan".
  • I Reject Your Reality:
    • She does not take failure well in Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy, usually pretending she hasn't played the game before after a big enough failure. This is extremely obviously in her second stream playing the game when she pretends it's the first time she's ever played the game and then does this two more times in the same stream after making mistakes that make her tumbling back.
    • This tendency also extends when she's playing other competitive games such as Fall Guys and Mario Kart, where she constantly proclaims victory despite her actually losing the games.
  • I Work Alone:
    • In some Project Winter games, if she's a Survivor, she often goes off on her own to help with game objectives her way, unless there's an obstacle in her way (such as ambush predators) where she'll need backup. In her latest collaboration, Mea Kagura acts as her bodyguard because she knew she couldn't complete objectives on her own, and her paranoia actually helps outed Pikamee, whom they both kill in no time. She also decided to help the other girls with the game due to their inexperience and so she had to drop this in order to help them win.
    • She used to have this attitude when she was an indie, she was very proud of her single work and when she was asked if she was affiliated with Tokino Sora, she'd be quick to snap that she wasn't. However, she's changed her view upon joining hololive, building a good friendship with the other idols (including Sora herself) and doesn't mind collaborating with her fellow idols at all.
    • Playing Among Us puts her into this territory when she plays with her friends. Because of how she knows how the game works, Suisei will often keeps a distance from others to finish her tasks. The one time she didn't do this was when she finds Aqua, which proves to be her undoing since Aqua kills her immediately. She then goes back into finishing tasks on her own after that game.
  • Idol Singer: Her main forte is her singing talent. She even managed to land her own music show called Music Space, which she delivers every 17:00 JST on Sundays until its discontinuation in April 2021, where it was replaced with Azusa Tadokoro's Heikousen Scramble.
  • Insane Troll Logic: Ever since she started Grand Theft Auto V, she started to run people over with every available vehicle she sees, and to her, the pedestrians are the coins from Mario Kart. Even Coco is baffled by her logic in their Meme Review collaboration.
  • Insistent Terminology: She likes shounen, not shota. Her Hitman (2016) playthrough has her angrily declare that her targets are people who don't understand the difference. Not helping her case is that she used pre-Time Skip Alan Stuart as "proof" against the argument, who's a Bratty Half-Pint with a female VA and, more importantly, is somewhere around the ballpark of nine years old ("shounen" usually refers to boys who've at least hit puberty). Her chat, naturally, immediately called her out on it.
  • In-Series Nickname: Sui-chan, portmanteau of the first syllable of her name and "-chan". She is called this by both fans and other hololive members alike.
  • Irony:
    • She has poor English skills when she tries to communicate with her English-speaking fans. Her mother however, is an English teacher.
    • Despite having a tendency to legitimately scare her friends when she plays multiplayer games as either as a Traitor or Survivor, she cannot handle horror very well, especially horror games unless she is able to fight back.
    • Of all of her talented music skills, she cannot whistle. Whenever she attempts to whistle, fans would remark that she sounds like a tea kettle when she tries to.
    • When she was a little girl, she saw a frog she thought was cute, and accidentally kills it while carrying it to show her sister. Come 2022, and she is now terrified of frogs.
  • Kick the Dog: Played for Laughs stream-wise: When Matsuri was the last victim to fall in Project Winter, Suisei goes up to Fubuki's character's corpse, wears her clothes, then imitates her while Matsuri pleads with her life all the while using a poison rifle, and finally kills her with her signature axe.
  • Laser-Guided Karma:
    • Her aforementioned rampage in Project Winter was so bad, everyone else ganged up on her after she was wounded by a wolf in the next game. Unlike the previous game, she wasn't even a Traitor, but the girls didn't want to take any risks.
    • In one of the anime shorts, Marine was completely focused on building a ship in a bottle when Suisei and Coco finds her. Suisei and Coco ended up making too much noise that Marine tells them the next time they do it, she will get angry. Unfortunately for her, just when Coco was about to sneeze, Pekora is the one who does, and Fubuki finds Suisei, Coco, and Pekora trapped in a giant glass bottle with Marine sitting on top of it.
    • When she was playing with Roboco in 6-Ball, she blazes through their first match as if she was playing Tetris, which Roboco calls her out on as she gets two matched hexagons. Until they start Yacht Dice, Suisei's luck runs out twice when Roboco manages win their first two games when her luck was on her side. Suisei barely manages to their third game however.
  • Leitmotif: Her pre-stream loading screens almost always come with an instrumental version of her latest original song. For example, "NEXT COLOR PLANET" was featured on most of her loading screens during 2020, and was only replaced by "GHOST" when the latter got released on 2021. 2022, however, would replace "GHOST" with "Stellar Stellar" after its release. Come 2023, her loading screen song is changed to a vocal version of "Soirée".
  • Like Father, Like Son:
    • She apparently talks like her own father. She mentions when her family were watching videos from her mother's phone to the family TV, they started laughing, but he was watching intently. He then sums it up with "Yup, that's my daughter".
    • Apparently her love for Tetris came from her own mother, who owned a GameBoy with Tetris in it. And she may seem to be as sociopathic as her daughter when she sent Suisei a LINE message saying, "Let me drive". Apparently, Comedic Sociopathy is In the Blood.
    • Violence runs in the family from her mother. When she went to her grandmother's during her break in late January 2022, she tells Toko how after her mother had Tears of Joy after not seeing her for two years, a friend went to visit Suisei, and her mother talks about how she had a violent encounter with her mother-in-law (i.e Suisei's grandmother she was staying at). This immediately stunned both Suisei and her friend and laugh how violence runs in the family.

    M-R 
  • Misplaced Retribution:
    • During her first visit to hololive's Minecraft server, Pekora kills her and chases her around with a sword out of belief she was antagonizing her by placing a rabbit skin in her chest. Flare admits to the deed a few minutes later.
    • After her rampage in Project Winter, she actually made the girls paranoid of her when they went for another game while targeting her specifically. That point in the game, she wasn't even the Traitor.
  • Morality Pet: Mel appears to be this for her whenever they do collaboration streams, considering she is much more nicer to her in collaboration streams. While she does kill her indiscriminately in games where they can kill each other (such as Project Winter and Minecraft), she slightly tones down her usual behavior around her. Every everyone else, everything goes.
  • Motor Mouth: Can keep a conversation going by herself at high-speed, whether she's by herself streaming or meeting with people IRL. So far, it's been demonstrated when:
    • She tried to imitate the text to speech in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
    • During her play of マッチングアプリで出会い厨してみた, she takes an in-game conversation talking about anime recommendations and decides to give her real recommendations in a manner that has been likened to Fubuki's famous glasses speech.
  • Murder Is the Best Solution:
  • My Eyes Are Up Here: When asked by voice actress Azusa Tadokoro on why she didn't just give her character model a big bust if she's so touchy about flat jokes, Suisei said she wanted her viewership to appreciate her for her talent and personality, rather than being Distracted by the Sexy.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: She will kill friends in multiplayer games and NPCs indiscriminately, and act like But for Me, It Was Tuesday. But if a game allows killing animals with the same destruction she actively causes, she will react very badly to it and is genuinely remorseful.
  • My Sister Is Off-Limits: Part of the reason Anemachi hasn't shown up in Suisei's streams since early 2020 is because Suisei isn't sure how to handle the increasing number of people falling for her sister.
  • Ninja Maid: While not exactly, her 2022 outfit is a Meido outfit with a halberd as her weapon.
  • No Sense of Direction: Her directional skills is left to be desired both on and off-stream. On-stream, big world and multiplayer games, she tends to get lost very easily. This is best shown when she had a Project Winter collaboration with guest Vtubers where she ended getting herself and her party lost, and her Minecraft streams where she tend to forgot where her home is. Off-stream, she went to help Aqua and Marine buy an audio splitter and forgot her phone and key. And then, she tried to ring Kanata's apartment but because they live on the same floor, she just remembered where Kanata's apartment was and not the number so ended up ringing the wrong one, in which the door neighbor called complaints on her for continuously ringing his door bell.
  • Not a Morning Person: She wakes up rather late when she has a stream to prepare for, such as her meme review appearance with Coco and her HoloTalk interview with Kiara where she speaks very slowly due to waking up.
  • Not Me This Time: In social deduction games such as Among Us, because of her Comedic Sociopathy status and tendency to be shunted with the role as Token Evil Teammate, there are times she gets compromised where people think she is the killer, but she is innocent the whole time. Suisei is even aware this might happen, and so her innocence is usually proven posthumously.
  • Old Shame: In-Universe, she has this personal opinion about her original model and the fact that she was trying too hard to be cute. When she appeared in NHK with her music collaborator Taku Inuoe, she immediately freaked out because her debut video was shown. On public TV. her reaction is understandable.
  • Otaku: She is out and proud about all of what she likes and will happily talk about them if given even the slightest opportunity. For example, she accidentally derailed a broadcast when her co-host Tadakoro Azusa showed that she didn't follow Cardcaptor Sakura and Suisei wanted to explain the series plot.
  • Percussive Therapy: Does this to her own keyboard when she gets very frustrated. This has not gone unnoticed by Bushiroad's president, who bought her a new keyboard during board meeting.
  • Precision F-Strike:
    • Has occasionally dropped a few F-bombs whenever she messes up while playing a game. And this is before Coco frequently does this in her streams while Miko's is far more innocent.
    • Despite claiming her English is not good, she still delivered a very fluent sounding "oh my god... fuck you Yagoo" when Luna killed her in the Among Us collab between HoloJP, HoloID, and HoloEN.
  • Put on a Bus:
    • The last weeks of July 2020 gave her a very busy schedule because she had to prepare to perform in China. Which meant that any planned streams such as Hitman had to be withheld until then.
    • She also barely streamed during October 2020, having to prepare for her performance in the Tokyo Idol Festival and her 500,000 subscribers 3D live celebration.
    • She announced that she will be on break for the entirety of May 2022 starting at the 10th while still using her Twitter account.
    • She announced in late September 2022, due to surgery on her throat, she'll be taking a break for half a month while interacting with her friends on Twitter. She does show up in some collab streams, but she has to avoid talking.
  • Rage Breaking Point:
    • When she gets truly mad, she gets very mad to the point of breaking into Angrish.
    • Keep calling her a shotacon. Do it. She in, no uncertain terms, really hates this meme, and is very dead-serious about it. While her Meme Review with Coco was the one exception, it was the only exception to the rule as they were both having fun.
  • Real Life Writes the Plot:
    • In early 2021, during a celebration stream Suisei explained to her fans that her vocal cord damage she had received several months prior was not healing because of her artificially forcing herself to speak at a higher cutesy pitch for her streams as part of her role as an idol. Suisei had been slowly slipping into speaking more deeply often already, but then on she admitted that her natural pitch is extremely relaxed and low by comparison and that from then on she would have to give up the cutie act on stream permanently so that it wouldn't endanger her ability to speak or sing. Her fans were very accepting of this.
    • Her fourth original song, "GHOST", is heavily influenced by her struggles early into her VTuber career. Its lyrics reflect the desire to become more than a fleeting memory; a feeling that many other struggling VTubers share in an increasingly competitive niche.
  • Renaissance Man:
    • Other than singing, she's also a talented artist (her first 2D model was, in fact, drawn and rigged by herself), and capable of video editing as well, making her own music videos back when she was under Inonaka Music (this video for example) and still taking it up now to a certain extent. She also has a reputation for being a scarily competent gamer on par with Fubuki (even more so where Tetris is concerned), and has been praised by her fellow neighbors Coco and Kanata as a great cook.
    • Interestingly, she also credits her multiple talents as one of the reasons her beginnings were so rocky. Most of her failed auditions got answers along the lines of "it's amazing that you can do all that, but we have support staff for a reason", and being decent at everything meant that she didn't have anything truly one-of-a-kind about her, be it good or bad. She had a hard time forging her own identity until joining Hololive proper, where she tried her hand at new things and found herself surrounded by colorful personalities she could bounce off of.
      Suisei: Uniqueness is what's important. And if that uniqueness hits someone's tastes, it'll become precious to them. [...] I didn't think I had that uniqueness, something that says "it couldn't be anyone else". But after joining Hololive, I started to establish myself, find the things that only Hoshimachi Suisei can do. Now I feel a bit more confident.
  • Revenge:
    • Suisei reveals that part of her motivation for being a Vtuber is she took lot of auditions to be a real life idol but she didn't pass any of them, saying she was a Master of None. She then learned that Vtubers were popular and decided to be one to become so popular that she could make the companies regret failing her.
    • Her demonetization in January 29th reeks with the trope as she talks about it while calm but clearly angry.

    S-Z 
  • Sanity Slippage:
    • Rarely, but if she starts singing while losing at a game, run for your life. Fans see this as a red flag waiting to happen. In fact one time while playing Getting Over It she started singing Tsubasa wo Kudasai. Basically
    • She went under a long process of this when her channel was demonetized, where her stream ideas and behavior became slowly more crazy as YouTube took an extremely long time to restore it. The most extreme example being her using her old self-made model while pretending to be a new VTuber.
  • Secretly Selfish: Suisei does not shy away from talking at length about how everything she does is for herself, despite being ostensibly one of the nicer and extroverted talents; this ironically makes her the antithesis of being an idol, even though she calls herself one. The lyrics and MV from "TEMPLATE" are about as accurate as it can get on the topic of performing for herself regardless of what's happening around her.
  • Shameless Self-Promoter: She tends to sing her own songs during streams, retweet her merchandise, and talk about her singles and her first album during her talk streams and her Scramble radio show with Azusa Tadokoro. She will also bring up any events she participated in or making near the end of streams. In her outfit reveal stream in October 2021, she even covered up her costume a couple of times with promotional images of her upcoming solo concert.
  • Shared Family Quirks: While waiting for Pokemon Brilliant Diamond to download, she starts to talk to her plush as if she is literally talking to herself. A fan even points out how alike she is to Anemachi.
  • Signature Laugh: Her usual laugh is usually more of a giggle, but she let out a distinct "Yihihihi" once that caught up with the fans.
  • Singing Voice Dissonance: Compared to her normal high pitched speaking voice, her singing voice has an amazing deep pitch.
  • Sir Swears-a-Lot: When she swears, she often swears in English (often Precision F Strikes). In fact, she already knew how to swear in English before Coco came along.
  • The Snack Is More Interesting: If she ever starts or joins a social collaboration stream, there is a very high chance she is more interested in the food rather than whatever topic's involved. She's actually done this in the collaboration pizza party where she is more focused in eating the pizza, and the 2021 New Years party with Kanata, Coco, Towa, Noel, Fubuki, and Choco where the other girls were talking about various topics while Suisei is more focused on the food. Hell, even her abbreviation for A.Y.T.'s real definition is basically "I will eat Yakiniku with your money".
  • Sore Loser:
    • She hates losing when it comes to games, such as Fall Guys, Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics, and Tetris 99. Whenever she loses, she will usually vent out in different ways (either going on a rage or denying her losses) and retrying until either she achieves a victory or her allocated stream time is over.
    • Her Yacht Dice game with Roboco in Clubhouse Games shows this prominently, as she asked for retry lost twice due to her bad luck. She was able to win the third game afterwards.
    • During a Mario Kart tournament between other Hololive members, she placed badly on the qualifications and ended up being eliminated. This angers her greatly to the point she went on a training arc (and it eventually paid off, as she placed a high position on the losers' bracket), only for her to be crushed on her next stream (which traumatized her badly to the point she stopped playing Mario Kart for awhile). Thankfully, it didn't last as Suisei would go on to win the 2021 and 2023 Mario Kart tournaments.
  • Stellar Name: Her last and first name literally mean "star path" and "comet", respectively. The name is also just one of many parts of her cosmic motif.
  • Stupid Sexy Flanders: During her collaboration with Coco and Kanata involving lunch, she manages to pull an ikemen voice similar to Kanata who pulled this a few times before, which did not go unnoticed by her chat. Of course her chat actually commented on how attractive she sounded.
  • Super-Strength: In the Holo no Graffiti episode "The Importance of Catch", she effortlessly lifts up a boulder twice her size that would make Chris Redfield proud. Which is ironic when she couldn't lift a Tetris block containing an unknown solution without Noel's help.
  • Supreme Chef: Has been stated to be a great cook, especially when friends comes over to her place, and why her Big Eater sister doesn't want to live without her. She made a Members-only stream with Kanata cooking omurice during their large multi collaboration stream that ran from November 1st to 2nd.
  • Suspiciously Specific Denial: Frequently when brought up by other people, she pretends she has no idea what guest Vtubers are talking about when they mention her being a psychopath. Others actually see through this using Project Winter and Hitman (2016) as an example of this, and her chat is often bemused by her denying it.
  • Talk Show: She has two: Music Space in which she had a one year contract with A+G to air her show until 2021. The second, Suikoro, where she co-hosts with Azusa Tadokoro. Both shows air on 17:00 JST with the latter just beginning to start its run after her contract with Music Space ended.
  • Tamer and Chaster: Unlike most girls, Suisei's video thumbnails will either be a non-fanservice fan art, or she makes the thumbnails herself. The closest thing to a sexy fan art she uses is her at the beach, but even then, it's far more tame than some of the other girls who uses Hotter and Sexier fanart for their thumbnail. This is because she takes her idol work very seriously, and doesn't want that image ruined. It's the reason she even tells her fans to never use such work for her fan art tags.
  • Taught by Experience: Suisei's singing skills are self-taught. She developed them by going to karaoke booths and practicing alone.
  • Team Mom: Plays this role when playing with guest collaborators and Choco in Project Winter. After having enough food, she shares the food she cooked for the other girls while the game's blizzard was going on. This has not gone unnoticed by her chat, who calls her "Mama Suisei".
  • Tears of Joy:
    • One of the greatest examples is during the 2021 New Years' Mario Kart 8 Deluxe tournament, where she not only managed to advance to the winners' bracket, but also win the tournament outright. Cue tears.
    • And again in 2023 in the 2023 New Years' Mario Kart 8 Deluxe tournament where despite having some serious competition in the winners' bracket, she managed to come out on top being the winner with Marine and Mio placing second and third respectively with the same joy she experienced in 2021.
  • Tears of Remorse: Sadly in the 2022 New Years Mario Kart tournament, despite putting on an incredible show, thanks to a series of unfortunate hits in her last race she ends up second overall, while she tries to stay positive it's pretty obvious she's not taking it well and can be heard crying.
  • Tempting Fate: There are times she tried to shed her reputation as a psychopath. But when she plays a game that even allows her to kill, she ends up being the Ax-Crazy Comedic Sociopath people known her for. 2021 is a perfect example of this when she had a dinner collaboration with Towa, Kanata, Noel, Fubuki, Coco, and Choco, she tells Towa she was trying after Towa gifts her an ancronym SMS note , and tells her she was trying to shed that image. Not for long, she states "I'm grilling [a] human". Not even 4 days later, she ends up playing Grand Theft Auto V to the point that her fans were surprised by her choice of game.
  • That's All, Folks!: She ends her streams with "Otsumachi!".
  • They Changed It, Now It Sucks!:
    • Her in-universe opinion to the supposed change to Lily's voice in Duolingo. She was so used to her low tone and when she does her fourth session, she was in denial over the changes to her voice. It turns out Lily's voice didn't change when she clicked on each word Lily repeats.
    • This is why she hasn't done any collaborations with anyone for Project Winter: Due to many updates, it became harder to find neccessary items since they are in parts. Instead of inserting chips to power generators, they are needed to create said parts.
  • This Is Unforgivable!: She was demonetized in January 29th, 2021 just when she was about to upload her Bleach cover. While she talks about what happens, she acts as if she is hosting a funeral for her channel, and the last thing she says before she closes the stream is the Exact Words of the trope.
  • Third-Person Person: She frequently uses "Sui-chan wa" when referring to herself.
  • To Absent Friends: In her Christmas Minecraft collab with Mel, Suisei initially leaves four cakes outside the Gen 5 house before doubling back and leaving in one more for Mano Aloe.
  • Token Evil Teammate: Whenever she plays multiplayer games like Project Winter, expect her to go out of her way to kill every Survivor solo while the other Traitor is bemused by this. The perfect example is when Roboco was trying to kill Watame and jammed the Survivors' transmission, Suisei flat-out tells her she already killed everyone else. Roboco's reaction is a "Seriously?" while giggling at that feat. Her friends actually treat her like this despite her alignment, and even then, she at least helps with the game's objectives her way.
  • Trademark Favorite Food:
    • Yakiniku and boxed apple juice, to the point those two have been featured in her merchandises (the former being on the phone case with the AYT abbreviation, which comes up from her misspelling Idol Youtuber as Aidol Youtuber. For the mistake, she tries to justify it that the abbreviation can also mean "Anta no kane Yakiniku Tabe ni iku" (basically meaning "I'll use your money to eat yakiniku"), while the latter is featured as one of the icons on her T-shirt and hoodie).
    • Apple juice would be Subverted Trope when Suisei revealed on HoloTalk that she actually enjoys orange juice more than apple juice note , much to the surprise of Kiara and the chat.
    • In Project Winter, she tends to eat hearts. Regardless of the role she's playing. note 
    • She also loves skin of broiled salmon, fish eyes, chicken skin, mentaiko (pollack roe), Tara shirako (cod roe), and ankimo (monkfish liver). She will frequently bring these up when she goes to eat on her Twitter.
  • Trrrilling Rrrs: She enjoys trilling her Rs, especially when she speaks in English.
  • The Unmasking: Her parents and cousin found out about her Vtuber lifestyle through random chance.
  • Unsportsmanlike Gloating: When she ends a game in Tetris 99 against any other players that try to snipe her, she wastes no time in gloating that they failed and she beat them regardless.
  • Unwanted Assistance: As much as anyone else, she hates backseating while she's playing Dark Deception blind. Her chat tells her to use teleport on the third level, which irritates her to no end. While she does make use of it, her aggravation is clear when she tells her chat to stop.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: She's good friends with fellow genmate Miko when they collaborate games together. Professionally, they form a two-girl group called miComet and often participate in live concerts together (both paid and free). Game collaborations, Suisei tends to throw Miko under the bus if it's a multiplayer collaboration game, or just beating each other up in Minecraft (and in some cases, victimizes her). But outside of that, they get along just fine.
  • Vocal Evolution: While for a good portion of her career she had a high-pitched speaking voice, due to her throat condition taking a turn for the worse because of said voice, she started speaking in a lower tone since late March of 2021.
  • Weight Woe: Surprisingly subverted. She is 43kg, and openly shows it during her stream of Ring Fit Adventure while the other girls, aside from Sora, have all tried to hide their weight in the streams. She even mentions that she's the type to not really get fat despite having a healthy appetite and is actively trying to work her weight up.
  • Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?:
    • She's scared of insects, overly cramped places, and things that contain multiple pieces inside when broken (similar to Minecraft slimes). Those things scare her enough to the point that she went into panic screaming and driven into tears. She also had the same reaction when she saw an Enderman in Minecraft, likening them to insects. And as expected, she gets really horrified on her first encounter with silverfishes, the actual insect monsters in the game when Kanata showed some to her.
    • She's afraid of CT scanners, not only because they're claustrophobic, but also because they make her feel like she's being abducted by aliens.
    • Minecraft's "Wild Update" added frogs and tadpoles, which she's also afraid of, much to Miko's amusement.
  • The Worf Effect:
    • As far as Project Winter is concerned, when she plays as a Survivor, her chances of survival is relatively small compared to being a Traitor. Whether by predators, ambush, or the group's paranoia gets the better of them. In fact, when she plays again with Matsuri, Aki, Choco, Mel, Haato, and Luna as one, she was the only Survivor until a pack of wolves attack her.
    • In Tetris-related games:
      • Despite her skills at Tetris 99, she often gets sniped by other players who are far more skilled and experienced than her, including actual professional players.
      • In an NHK TV show, she played Puyo Puyo Tetris against one of the hosts, whom she trounced easily. When she then played against Amemiya, she lost both games within seconds.
  • The Workaholic: She is a very busy person. Whenever she posts on Twitter, it is usually work-related, and has to prepare for events. This leaves her extremely tired as a result to the point that she doesn't stream as often as she used to. The positive side of this is because of her own hard work, Suisei had been dreaming to become an idol she wants to be, and manages to see the fruits of her labor didn't go All for Nothing. She is aware that her fans will feel lonely without her due to her busy work schedule and this is why she tries to join as many collaborations as she can so her fans can see her when able.
  • Worthy Opponent: During the 2022 Hololive Minecraft Festival swordfight, she defeats Sora, Reine, Anya, and Miko in quick succession. And then her last opponent is IRyS, and they both fought to a draw. Neither side expected the outcome, and show respect to each other.
  • You Are in Command Now: When Coco antis raided her chat after she imitated Coco in an APEX collab, Suisei simply temporarily modded three of her long time members and nonchalantly told them to get to work. She also congratulated her chosen mods on their "kills" in chat, much to Matsuri's amusement.
    Suisei: Moderator, nice kill.

Other Characters

    Anemachi 

Anemachi [JP: 姉街; CN: 姐街]

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/anemachi_new3d_9.png
Suisei's older sister. She lives with Suisei and is occasionally heard in the background of some of her streams. Although she's not officially a part of hololive, she's garnered a small but noticeable fanbase regardless.
  • Always Someone Better: She aspired to be an idol herself, but felt her sister would benefit it more because Suisei is the better of the two at singing, and so she passes on her idol dreams to her, which she succeeds.
  • Big Eater: She loves to eat, and prefers her sister's cooking. She will sometimes yell during Suisei's streams about how hungry she is.
  • Butt-Monkey: Occasionally gets picked on when both Suisei and her play games together, especially Mario Party where she tries to get Suisei to not get a gold star or items that would lead the player to them. Screaming ensues when Suisei does it anyway and makes fun of her for it.
    Anemachi: I'll start crying!
    Suisei: It's not "I'll start crying", you're already crying.
    Anemachi: [blood-curling scream]
  • Childish Older Sibling: Occasionally. Suisei sometimes yells at her to shut up whenever she's heard in the background, especially when she demands Suisei's cooking.
  • Cool Big Sis: She's laid-back enough to casually slip into Suisei's streams in the background and sometimes actively participates in them.
  • Even the Girls Want Her: Aqua thought Anemachi was "super hot" after meeting her during a sleepover at Suisei and Anemachi's apartment.
  • Hidden Buxom: If what Suisei said about her is true, then Anemachi has a bigger chest than Coco. Fans even remarked how Beyond the Impossible it was.
  • Hidden Depths:
    • Despite her goofiness, she's just as talented of an artist and vocalist as Suisei herself, having drawn her own 2D model, illustrated for Suisei's "Alien, Alien" cover music video, and sung in a duet with her sister.
    • She originally wanted to be an idol, but felt Suisei would be better suited for it as she has a better singing voice. And so she chooses to pass her idol dreams into Suisei.
  • Identical Stranger: To Calliope Mori, on account of both of them having pink hair, pink eyes, large breasts and amazing singing skills. A fan comic jokingly posits that Calliope is actually Anemachi's alter ego.
  • Imaginary Friend: Both Marine and Aqua claim that she has one, witnessing her talking to herself on separate occasions. Marine in particular swears that she saw her talking to a doll once.
  • Living Emotional Crutch: It's no secret that she gets really lonely without her sister. According to Suisei, Anemachi once yelled at her over her cell phone (to the amusement of Kanata and Coco, who were within earshot) for even daring to suggest they live in separate apartment rooms, even ones right next door to each other. She also talks to an Imaginary Friend when Suisei isn't around, at least according to Marine and Aqua. Of course, all of these anecdotes could just be exaggerated and Played for Laughs.
  • Meaningful Name: Her name is just "Hoshimachi" with the first kanji replaced with "ane" (big sister).
  • Palette Swap: She looks similar to Suisei, save for pink hair and eyes and wearing her ponytail on her left.
  • Put on a Bus: Suisei once made an effort to cut down on her sister's already little screentime, jokingly concerned about strange old men on the Internet falling for her. Her concern quickly turned into thinly-veiled jealousy when she recalled a piece of fanart that flat out had "I love Anemachi more" written on it.
  • Sixth Ranger: She's not officially a part of hololive, but some of her fans treat her as an idol of the "0th generation" regardless because of her talents.
  • Strong Family Resemblance: Sibling variant of the trope. Kanata mentioned that she exactly looks like Suisei in real life, but with a bigger bust instead.
  • Supreme Chef: While she prefers her sister's cooking, several members have noted that she is also an excellent cook.
  • Yaoi Fangirl: Suisei said her sister was a hardcore BL lover at one point, supposedly searching "morning, noon and night" for Doujinshi of Bleach in particular. Marine later found this out for herself when Anemachi shared Touken Ranbu doujins with her at a sleepover. Humorously, Anemachi got excited at the possibility of someone sharing her hobby and told Marine about a 100 page doujin she ordered.
