Shiranui Flare
"Noon-nui! This is Shiranui Flare!" "A half-elf who seems sloppy and undependable, however when it is time, she becomes an extremely reliable big sis. She is basically kind of drained. Her weakness is her emotions and she cries or gets embarrassed quite easily (Just praise her!). The fairy-like creature that looks like a panda is named “Kintsuba”." Shiranui Flare (不知火フレア) is the half-elf of Hololive's 3rd generation. She debuted on August 7th, 2019, and later debuted on bilibili on October 25th, 2019. Flare is considered as a big sister figure within her generation, and is also well-liked with other Hololive members due to her calm, yet kind demeanor. She received her first alternate outfit during the 2019 New Year's relay, which she used for all of her streams. This outfit also received a L2D update on July 15th, 2020. Her fourth outfit, a casual sailor-style dress, was unveiled on November 14th, 2020. Flare's 3D debut which was originally announced for a reveal on March 29th, 2020 was postponed due to COVID-19 pandemic (due to the government's discouragement of public gathering). A "re-announcement" was made on June 10th, 2020 to reveal her 3D and finally, Flare's 3D model debuted on the date June 13, 2020. This model had significant updates compared to the model that was used during Nonstop Story. Flare refers to her friends as Elfriend (エルフレンド), a portmanteau of the world Elf and Friend. Flare's streaming content can be categorized into three main groups: gaming, singing, and chatting streams. Generally, her streams tend to be on the longer side, and start late at night, often streaming for at least 3 to 4 hours. She likes action games such as Dark Souls, Sekiro, and Devil May Cry, but has more recently enjoyed interacting with others, exploring, and building in Minecraft and ARK. In her singing streams, she's known for her wide vocal range, and holds karaoke streams regularly. Her chat streams are more laid back, and often accompanied with drinks while she talks about recent events or whatever's on her mind at the time. Other streams include movie-watchalongs and frequent offline collaborations with other members. Rarely, Flare will also draw alongside other members, and shows significant skill with her artwork. Flare is part of the Onee-san Gumi (お姉さん組) along with Shirogane Noel and Houshou Marine, and together with Shirakami Fubuki and Tsunomaki Watame make up the trio named Bakatare.
