I like Ina. I really do. But giving her an eldritch motif was a complete mistake. She clearly has no interest in Lovecraft's works and themes at all. She never mentions Cthulhu or being part of a cult, it's just tako this and tako that. Sometimes I completely forget she's supposed to be a priestess of Cthulhu and not just an octopus girl. The design should've been given to an actual Lovecraft nerd but it wasn't, and now we'll never get a proper horror themed Holo. Thanks, Ina.

I know how you feel. They gave the chicken who outright said she had no interest in tokusatsu a henshin belt. HoloEN really should have had more personal input in their character designs.

Its a 50/50 chance on how close the chubbas follow their "character", its an open secret that Gura and Ame were supposed to be each other's characters and just swapped close to the debut so that should tell you how "important" character is for them.

like others have said, I put the blame on Cover. The Call of Cthulhu game which she played as her first on stream was much better suited for Watson as it follows the adventures of a DETECTIVE following a PARANORMAL case, in other words, 100% what Amelia Wattson is supposed to be while Ame is just playing Apex and shit. It was also patently obvious Gura gave 0 fucks about the shark game she played on her first non-debut stream. I guess the talk at Cover goes "Yeah we'll give you this avatar which corresponds to this character we have created, but as long as you don't openly contradict its nature on stream we don't give half a shit about whether you roleplay it or not".
Might as well just give them all normal anime girl looks with kemonomimi options.

Ina's design has always been a pretty obvious homage to Fate's foreigner class servants, that much should be obvious from just looking up her papa's work (or even just looking at her own gacha addiction). She's a fan of her concept, it's just that her concept isn't what you want it to be.
Amelia probably could have gotten away with being an American noir detective instead (and honestly that's what she acts like a vast majority of the time), but what can you do?

Low-effort aesthetic bullshit like Calli saying "scythe swinging lessons" instead of "teaching English" is pretty homosexual, but I do think there is a lot of unexplored potential in the medium of VTubing for stronger narrative elements and more elaborate character arcs like you get in professional wrestling, for instance.
