Ninomae Ina'nis is an English Virtual YouTuber associated with hololive, debuting as part of its English branch first generation of VTubers alongside Takanashi Kiara, Watson Amelia, Mori Calliope and Gawr Gura.

She has a golden halo above her head.

She wears long Japan-inspired platform heels.
She wears a fluffy collar around her neck.

Ina is a gentle, peaceful and down-to-earth girl, so much so that she reverses stress and insanity in her viewers rather than encouraging it, despite her Lovecraftian role as "the maiden who speaks for the old gods."
She is considerate and kind, has near-infinite patience and is widely considered the most well-behaved member of her generation.
Ina is infamous for her use of puns and dry delivery of "dad jokes."
Ina is a priestess of beings known as the Ancient Ones.
Despite her appearance, Ina'nis claims to be human.
Ina's current appearance and ability to control tentacles are thanks to the strange book she found. The book is nicknamed AO-chan, from the abbreviation "AO" (for Ancient Ones).
Ina appears to be inspired by the Lovecraftian mythos, a collection of stories featuring tentacled horrors, cultists to ancient forgotten gods, and old books of insanity-inducing lore.
The book she found is likely a reference to the Necronomicon, a fictional grimoire in the Lovecraft mythos used to summon ancient supernatural evils.
Ina's squishy orange hair reportedly tastes like Nintendo Switch game cards, which taste very bitter.
The purple ear-like appendages at the top of Ina's head are strictly speaking not ears, but are referred to as "flaps."
While the tentacles she controls allow her to multitask, they apparently still require the same level of mental coordination. This leads to situations in which she has to rely on using her hands, despite tentacles being available.
The Ninomae family have long held a special purpose, "blessed by the angels, in a way," as Ina puts it. Ina was always meant to be a priestess.
"AO-chan was always around," but Ina's first song tells the story of how Ina became "awakened" to AO-chan and began to fulfil her purpose as priestess.
