Gawr Gura • The End (Myth Chapter)

Gawr Gura (がうる・ぐら) is a female English-speaking Virtual YouTuber associated with hololive, debuting in 2020 as part of hololive English first generation "-Myth-" alongside Ninomae Ina'nis, Takanashi Kiara, Watson Amelia and Mori Calliope.

Gura is currently the most subscribed VTuber worldwide with over 4 million YouTube subscribers, taking the #1 spot from industry pioneer Kizuna AI in 2021.

Gura is friendly and readily likeable, and often amuses her viewers with foolish antics. She has no sense of direction, often misspells and mispronounces words, has trouble remembering her own age, and consistently fails to solve basic math problems, leading viewers to affectionately call her a "dum shark". Memorably, one viewer declared that "Gura has a heart of gold and a head of bone."

She can also be lazy at times. She often forgets about perishable items until they start to rot, and eats baby food "because you don't have to cook it... [or] chew on it."

However, despite her poor math and spelling skills, Gura is quick-witted, clever, and has vast knowledge of Shark Facts. When questioned on why she was not "boing boing," she excused it by claiming that she was "hydrodynamic." Her skill with fast-paced rhythm games is exceptional, and she is highly ambitious. She also occasionally makes lewd jokes, and is familiar with modern meme culture, which she references often.

She has no sense of direction, often misspells and mispronounces words, has trouble remembering her own age, and consistently fails to solve basic math problems, leading viewers to affectionately call her a "dum shark".

She is also chronically lazy at times, as in one instance she left a raw egg in the sink under a plate for 3 weeks before taking notice to the foul odor and fuzz, eats baby food "because you don't have to cook it, you don't have to chew on it, ya know! Just eat!" as well as being caught naked when she was doing her pre-debut video meetings with her fellow Gen-mates, which has made her the butt of their jokes.

Gawr Gura is very short, reaching around 141 cm (4'7"). She has a slim body type. She has white, light silver-like hair with baby blue and cobalt blue strands, along with short pigtails on either side of her head, tied with diamond-shaped, shark-faced hair ties. She has cyan pupils, and sharp, shark-like teeth. She can wear a dark cerulean-blue hood in the shape of a shark's head.

She wears an oversized, dark cerulean-blue hoodie that fades into white on her arm sleeves and hem, two yellow strings in the shape of an "x" that connect the front part of her white hoodie hood, a shark mouth designed on her hoodie waist with a zipper, gray hoodie drawstrings with two black circles on each of them, and two pockets on the left and right sides of her hoodie waist with white fish bone designs on them.

She also wears a gray shirt under her hoodie. She wears dark blue socks, white shoes with pale baby blue shoe tongues, black shoelaces, gray velcro patches on the vamps, and thick, black soles. She wields a sapphire-blue trident and has a cyan shark tail. The upper lobe of Gura's caudal fin, the top part of her tail, is sewn up with gray stitches because of a rock that fell on it while she was in a deep sea trench. The lower lobe of Gura's caudal fin, the bottom part of her tail, has three bite marks, which she forgot the cause of.

On 23 April 2020, following the success of the Japanese-language hololive VTuber group, Cover Corporation announced auditions for English-speaking members.[9] The initial round of auditions ran until 24 May.[10]

Gura first encountered hololive via Shirakami Fubuki's Say! Fanfare!, which appeared as a song in Muse Dash. She did not find out what hololive was until later, and decided to apply after learning of the hololive English auditions via Twitter. Her initial audition video was over the top, which she scrapped in favor of one that better represented her personality. She made it to a second round of auditions, followed by a third round normally consisting of a video call, which Gura actually declined. Despite this, she was selected to join hololive.

During her audition, Gura drew a cute character in a "power stance" with their hands on their hips, which she credited as setting a good impression. Gura recalls being asked about the SCP Foundation, a wiki of articles describing fictional artifacts and beings, although she had to admit that she didn't know what it was.

The members of -Myth- began training around June 2020, three months before their debut.

Gawr Gura's design was known to other members of holoEN as early as 2 July 2020, when Amelia Watson drew the first ever piece of Gawr Gura fanart. This was not the finalized design, however, and an unspecified design change was made before Gura's debut. Internal pre-debut test streams were conducted between all members of hololive English, where in one case a bug caused Gura to spawn in without any clothes.

Gura's YouTube channel and Twitter account were created on 16 July 2020.

On 8 September 2020,[TZ] Gawr Gura was first revealed in a short promotional video alongside the other four members of hololive -Myth-. A simultaneous announcement was made at the hololive Twitter account, and the hololive English Twitter account.At the same time, Gura made her first tweet, famously consisting of the single letter "a."

[Superhuman Physical characteristics]

Weapon Mastery Capable of utilizing tridents, of which she usually carries with her,

Split Personality Type 1 & 2; Has a more docile side that is represent with her blue attire and a violent personality that is represented with her red attire,

Shapeshifting, Gura can take the form of a shark and switch back to a humanoid form,

Longevity Gawr Gura ages at an exponetially slow rate, with Gawr seemingly not aging much despite being 9000 years old.

Acausality Non-Linearity; Inhabitants of The Virtual World experience time and causality differently from normal beings; In Hololive, both causality and time is experienced in a fashion where past, present and future doesn't occur linearly and paradoxes result in splitting of timelines, preventing casual paradoxes, Non-Corporeal It’s stated that V-Tubers are virtual in nature, with those being native to The Virtual World possessing no corporeal existence.

Information Manipulation Reality is viewed as being purely comprised of data and information from the perspective of beings inhabiting The Virtual World, meaning that manipulation of The Virtual World is also control over the fundamental information that makes up the world

[Resistance] Extreme Temperatures (V-Tubers can survive in hot temperatures such as burning celestial bodies and other places like the bottom of the ocean with high pressure. Okayu and Korone can no-sell the heat of an exploded sun. V-Tubers such as Ayame can endure being burned by the sun and it's shown that V-Tubers can no sell extreme heat),

Ice Manipulation, Absolute Zero (V-Tubers can resist hits from Fubuki's ice, which reach absolute zero temperatures), Magic (V-Tubers have shown to be able to resist the effects of magical spells from Shion and other mages),

Reality Warping, Empathic Manipulation, Existence Erasure, Law Manipulation (V-Tubers should have comparable resistance to "Content" like Kizuna A.I, another V-Tuber who possess Idol Power and thus has resistance to it by virtue),

Spatial Manipulation (V-Tubers such as Fubuki, Matsuri and many others resisted Purifier's spatial altering singularity),

Soul Manipulation (V-Tubers and their attacks can hit on a spiritual level, with Idol Power being capable vaporizing one's soul),

Death Manipulation (None of Rushia's death spells are able to work on V-Tubers. Those imbued with Idol Power are comparable to beings who can exist in The Underworld, which is the land of the dead),

Negation (V-Tubers can still regenerate after being hit with one of their own attacks, which is capable of permanently killing V-Tubers or Ships),

Radiation Manipulation (V-Tubers survive in close proximity to a star, where radiations are extremely potent. V-Tubers are capable of traveling through Star Clusters, which are high in radiation),

Disease Manipulation (V-Tubers can survive infections and viruses, as noted by Ayunda Risu and Yozora Mel being fine despite being infected by Ollie's zombie infection. Chloe is capable of surviving the spores of mushrooms growing from her head),

Corruption, Mind Manipulation, Madness Manipulation, Information Manipulation & Conceptual Manipulation (Those who are exposed to The Void/Shadow Realm will be corrupted in the same way Ina was, with it corrupting both the body and mind. V-Tubers such as Amelia Watson and Korone are capable of surviving in it. The act of being erased in Hololive involves the complete erasure of all aspects that define one's existence, including their mind, body, soul, the "information" that makes up reality and the concept that defines one's existence)

V-Tubers have access to Idol Power, a source of power that grants them the following: Social Influencing (V-Tubers have the natural charisma to talk to other beings, convincing them to follow them and watch their streams),

4th Wall Awareness, Information Analysis (V-Tubers can draw attention to their fictionality and that they are part of a narrative. Hololive runs on metafictional elements, which allow V-Tubers to know about opponents through reading a short summary of them as represented by character introduction bios),

Accelerated Development (Training, Battle & Leveling - Physical Stats & Abilities; It's shown consistency that V-Tubers are capable of learning at rapid paces and drawing out inner power at faster rates than normal; An example of this is Mio, Matsuri and company were able to overpower their imposters with ease despite the same imposters giving them a good fight prior. Their growth even visualized and treated akin to RPG progression), Toonforce (V-Tubers are portrayed as having toon force qualities, with their mannerisms being cartoonish and exaggerated, operating off the rule of funny),

Energy Manipulation (V-Tubers have the ability to channel and manipulate the energies present in the magical crystals connected to the energy source, which is also exemplified by Miko and Haato being capable of producing attacks comprised of energy on a consistent basis),

Teleportation (Idol Power allows one to teleport, as confirmed by Amelia Watson),

Light Manipulation, Aura (Idol Power can manifest itself as light and even emanate outwards as an aura), Non-Physical Interaction (Idol Power can allow one to interact with souls, shadows, immaterial objects such as emotions like malice and conceptually nonexistent entities such as Takodachi's, whom of which are composed of The Void),

Creation, Pocket Reality Manipulation (V-Tubers are capable of generating objects and weapons into being, akin to "minecraft" as implied in Hololive's crossover with Azur Lane. This extends to creating and manipulating entire "servers" {Such as Resource World}, of which are confirmed to be actual worlds of varying size),

Regeneration (High-Godly; Scales to V-Tubers like Uruha Rushia and Sakura Miko, whom of which could come back after being turned into a Tetris block and reduced to nothing. Korone is capable of coming back after being immediately erased by Mio and she even claimed she could erase Subaru, a metaphysical being who is a living thought. Aqua could regenerate despite her body being gone and her soul being crushed by Kanata),

Law Manipulation, Explosion Manipulation (Idol Power can allow one to adjust the rules of entire "servers", which are pocket spaces. V-Tubers such as Fubuki and Subaru are capable of creating laws where if someone loses, the opponent and their friends explode instantly),

Immersion (Idol Power can grant one to the power to enter fictionalized worlds such as video games, blank canvases and 2-D drawings),

Space-Time Manipulation (Idol Power can control spatial dimensions, being able to switch freely between a 2nd and 3rd dimensional existence. Resource Worlds that are created have their own flows of space and time),

Conceptual Manipulation, Absorption (V-Tubers are capable of absorbing concepts, as evident by V-Tubers having the ability to consume "That", the concept of "something" in Hololive. Rushia was able to absorb Kanata into herself, with Angels being abstract beings who embody hope and being conceptually death similarly to Mori Calliope and Death-Sensei),

Immortality (Type 5 & 11; V-Tubers are exempt from death, as V-Tubers don’t go to The Underworld {where beings go to officially die} and instead regenerate or some other process occurs. It's shown many times that V-Tubers can reincarnate to different worlds or in different bodies whilst retaining the memories of who they were),

Soul Manipulation (Idol Power is capable of vaporizing the souls of other beings. V-Tubers are capable of swapping souls with others, as shown here and here),

Plot Manipulation (Idol Power can interrupt the narrative and direct it in their own way, even completely ending the story if desired, which is shown with AKZi, Mio and many others),

Negation (Idol Power can negate the regenerative properties and resistances of V-Tubers, with Idol Power specifically bypassing a V-Tuber's High-Godly Regeneration and their innate immortalities. V-Tubers are capable of killing Ships beyond their ability to regenerate and come back),

Memory Manipulation (V-Tubers have the ability to use a “Forget Beam", which makes others forget things, even down to the person who used the move on them or their own identity),

Biological Manipulation, Size Manipulation V-Tubers can revert their sizes being altered, such as Okayu and Aqua being reduced to tiny. Despite being lolified, V-Tubers such as Korone, Mio and Okayu were able to revert back to normal),

Sealing (Metaphysical; V-Tubers have the ability to seal things away, including abstract concepts such as the evil side of hospitality)

Destructive Ability: Multi-Solar System Level Even when holding back, Gura should be greatly superior to V-Tubers prior to the Golden Oruyanke Boost, meaning that she's superior to Inugami Korone, Nekomata Okayu and Shirakami Fubuki. Comparable to the likes of Ars Almal, who was capable of creating a realm with stars inside. V-Tubers such as Sora are capable of creating of The Resource World, which is an entire "server" that contains a sun and a moon alongside a visible starry sky with countless stars which would be this powerful}. This is only a smaller part of "The Resource World" as it contains numerous other spaces comparable in size to the main world and said realm is even a concretely existing location that is real), Megaverse Level at peak Capable of sparring with Ina and Amelia Watson on numerous occasions, being portrayed as an equal to the former

Speed: Massively Faster than light, V-Tubers should comparable to Ayame and Mio, who can react to a bike that can traverse an entire universe. On par with Aki Rosenthal, who can regularly navigate the universe and travel to different worlds before coming to earth, alongside V-Tubers who can move at these speeds in deep space and across the galaxy, such as Towa and Luna, Immeasurable at peak (While weaker and slower than Sora, she is still comparable to her in speed, who is comparable to the avatars of Kronii and Mumei

Lifting Ability: Multi-Stellar Physically comparable to Korone. Scales to Noel, whom of which could punch a building across vast distances, such as on Mars), Immeasurable at peak Comparable to but weaker than Sora physically. On par with both Kronii and Mumei's avatars, whom of which exists beyond the local multiverse and it's 5 spatial dimensions, seeing them as merely a video game in comparison to her own existence

Striking Ability: Multi-Solar System Class Capable of harming many V-Tubers, who should be comparable in durability to Inugami Korone at full power), Megaversal at peak Capable of physically harming Ina with her bites and has punched Amelia Watson many times in their brawls

Durability: Multi-Solar System Level Should be similar in durability to Inugami Korone, who can survive a supernova at close range. Has consistent tanked blows from other V-Tubers, whom of which are capable of harming others with comparable durability Korone as well), Megaverse Level at peak (Can tank blows from her Hololive English partners, such as from Amelia Watson, whom of which she has fought at many points. Regularly takes hits from Ina from their feuds in the middle in the ocean

Stamina: Very High Should have comparable stamina to Inugami Korone

Range: Standard Melee Range normally, up to Extended Melee Range with Trident. Stellar to Universal with Idol Power Through the use of Idol Power, V-Tubers and those who have access to the source of power is capable of creating, manipulating and even destroying Resource Worlds, which are realms that contain the sun, the moon and a starry sky. At most, Idol Power is capable of effecting dream worlds in a similar vain to magic, which can effect the entirety of Dream Worlds, which are treated as universes

Intelligence: High, she has lived for thousands of years, including living on the surface world and knowing virtually everything there is to know about it's culture at a rapid pace, alongside how to fit in without being noticed as a shark
