Personality
She is energetic, cheerful and often very excited to do livestreams. She has a relatively high-pitched voice and speaks in an excited tone. She is very good at improv and often does various funny impressions during streams, one of which being the impression of Kizaru from One Piece. Her style of humor is often surprising compared to other members. She often comes up with fresh and wild ideas for livestreams and has been making raps out of random ideas on her own lately. Despite her very playful impression on-stream, Caracal's serious skills shine when it comes to dancing and singing. She can memorise lyrics and choreography with ease and often helps other members out during live performance practice.
Greetings
When streams start, she as well as her fans greet with "Oha Kara-" (おはカラー) or "Kon Kara-" (こんカラー). Viewers often say "Otsu Kara-" (おつカラー) when streams end.
Regular Streams
She often streams around 9pm to 11pm JST. She doesn't have a clear regular theme other than chatting with viewers, though coming up with a variety of random and unexpected livestream ideas has become her recurring signature.
