Ironmouse
A demon queen who goes by several names... but has also been rumored to be Satan herself.
She is a friendly, fun loving demon who ran from her duties and escaped the confines of Hell/the underworld in order to make new friends, learn new things and live life to the fullest.
She has an obsession with the internet, music, nerdy and all things cute.
She wears special magical bells on her body to contain and control her power in order to better blend into the human world.
If her bells ever get removed only pure chaos will ensue. It has been said that once the bells are off her true demon queen form will be revealed. All she ever wants to do is have fun and see what the human world is all about and consume... make as many souls friends as she can.
Vshojo
VShojo is the leading U.S. talent management company for VTubers, content creators who use character avatars as personas on video and live-streaming sites such as YouTube and Twitch.
