Hi I'm Emi! I'm a Vtuber since October 2020. My Avatar is an obsidian dragon that doesn't have all of her powers at the moment due to trying to fit in with the humans (the rest is a secret for now). My tail is a paintbrush that I use to draw. You can describe me as chaotic, loud, energetic and aggressive! I do have a soft side as well but I don't like showing it much :) Check out my Twitch Channel: https://www.twitch.tv/emimi_vtube ...
