Yachiyo Runami

Yachiyo Runami, also known as Kaguya, is one of the titular main protagonists of the yuri romance anime movie Cosmic Princess Kaguya. She is a enthousiastic gyaru who works as an idol and musician alongside Iroha Sakayori. Despite her human appearance, she is 8000 years old. She fully resides in a virtual reality game called Tsukuyomi, a fantastical game in a futuristic city where people come together to compete in all kinds of games but the most prominent feature is making music, idol work and Vtuber-ing.

Her hair is white and is worn in two long, thin pigtails with two large loops per pigtail, held in place by large hairpins. Her eyes become blue but retain their pinkish accents, while her attire changes to a purple knee-length dress under a far more elaborate kimono that shows off her shoulders. The dress is fastened to Yachiyo’s body with two straps that cross at her jugular notch - the notch where the sternum meets the neck - but remains mostly covered by Yachiyo’s voluminous kimono. The kimono itself has a dark blue colour, decorated with various patterns and possessing vibrant red cuffs as well as a bright teal underside. While Yachiyo’s midsection is often hidden by the large pink plushie she is seen carrying, the ends of two shide straps are visible, implying the existence of some belt holding the kimono up. Curiously, Yachiyo’s legs fade to teal from the knee down and gain white star patterns.

Yachiyo is playful, free spirited, and funny. Yachiyo is calm and collected, while also being charming and mature at most times and values companions. Since she is a streamer, Vtuber and virtual idol posing as an AI instead who she is, an immortal, millennia old interstellar traveler, she has incredible stage presence, voice, and knowledge of music. At the core, Runami Yachiyo is driven by a Basic Fear of being deprived or trapped in pain, and a Core Desire to be free and to experience joy and excitement. This motivational tension can be seen in how they approach both success and vulnerability — shaping the arc of their personal development.
