Marine

"Ahoy! Captain of the Houshou Pirates, Houshou Marine here!" "Keep 'er steady!"

Loves jewels, treasure, and money. Her dream is to become a pirate and go treasure hunting. In order to get a pirate ship, she is now stacking up money as a VTuber on the great lands, just like how the other land-lovers do (which also means she is currently just a girl cosplayer). She acts like a big sis and sometimes seduces people like a succubus does. A sensual, femme fatale boss, and a young one, at that! (Around 17) Her pirate outfit is just cosplay, and quite lewd when you see it that way.

Houshou Marine (宝鐘マリン) born July 30th, is a pirate cosplayer and a Vtuber for the Hololive 3rd Generation. Marine is a beautiful and elegant young lady who is definitely 17 years old despite her knowledge of early 2000 anime and internet memes. She is often referred to as "Senchou" (船長 - Ship Captain) by her viewers and peers. She loves jewels, treasure, and money. Her dream is to become a pirate and go treasure hunting. In order to get a pirate ship, she is now stacking up money as a VTuber on the great lands, just like how the other land-lovers do. She acts like a big sister (despite definitely only being 17) and sometimes often seduces other VTubers who she then draws in questionable situations.

Marine is a competent artist who can easily produce artwork at the quality of a mangaka. She has mentioned previously that she would like to have pursued being a mangaka but does not believe she would be comfortable with keeping up with the tight deadlines and stress of it.

Often joked she is not an actual pirate or captain as she lacks a ship and crew, and is instead cosplaying as a Pirate Captain.

Her representative emote is a flag & skull (known as Jolly Roger) because of her pirate theming.

Marine is a bold, fast-talking girl who often throws caution to the wind, making obscene jokes and playfully mocking both her higher-ups and her viewers. Marine describes her way of approaching people is through to talk to them so she may get in their circle, as described when talking about the differences between herself and Nakiri Ayame.

She often struggles to keep her lewdness in check, with her openly lusting after fictional female characters, reading BL and claiming to be a former shotacon (despite still showing some attraction in fiction). This has led her to describe herself as extremely horny, with the phrase "I'm Hornyyyy!~♪" being a fan favorite since her 3D stream with Kiryu Coco. At times she even tries charming and seducing her way out of sticky situations, which has backfired on her at times.

Though she claims to be 17 years old, her self-described "auntie" voice, lack of physical stamina, and extensive knowledge of 2000-2010 Internet culture indicate that she is almost certainly older than she claims she is. This is supported by other hololive members' habits of teasing her about her age. Her age has become a recurring joke on her channel; for example, on 30 July 2020 (Marine's birthday), she claimed to be turning 17 again for a "second season," to which Himemori Luna states, via a drawing, that she is 27.

Yet in spite of the antics Marine is popular for, Marine typically shows herself to be cultured with the variety topics she brings up in her streams, ranging from popular to niche, and regularly talks about the happenings behind the scenes at hololive on her own accord. She is also extremely sensitive to her surroundings especially when it comes to social environment, as she was able to instinctively pick up Usada Pekora's discomfort with others in her space and even spoke up about how she managed to avoid trouble in a previous office job such as avoiding getting yelled at by her ex-boss. As such she is marked as having "the highest stats" in social insight out of every idol in hololive by her fans.

She greets her viewers with

"Ahoy!" , a typical pirate greeting and says farewell with "Shukkō"「出航」 (sailing, departure).
