Her Twitter account was opened on 1 August 2018 while her YouTube channel was created on 3 August although her YouTube activities did not start until her first stream that was live on 17 August. One of her most iconic cries is her guttural scream of 'NEEEEEEE.' This was most famously uttered by Shion after Natsuiro Matsuri revealed that Shion's wet sneezing sounds were heard by Matsuri's listeners in one of her livestreams. She has a friendly rivalry with Minato Aqua, and the two can often be seen playing petty and mostly harmless pranks on each other. She wants to be seen as an adult, but thanks to her childish appearance and mannerisms, all attempts by Shion to appear adult-like end up looking very silly. Shion is a smug, cheeky brat (' kusogaki') who speaks bluntly without the usual politeness/consideration associated with the Japanese language, and flirts shamelessly with other hololive members. She can barely say her greeting, “Hellshio”. She calls herself a highborne black magician (probably). A random self-proclaimed child (though she is probably an adult) who appears around the Demonic-Realm Academy.
