Community Happenings

[Kourai]

Eilene, one of the first Vtubers and the creator of the Natsumi Moe persona (who separated from Eilene's group and much later reincarnated as Shiori Novella), has posted a suicide note on Twitter (post with archives).

Proctor Edit: For clarity, by 'creator', this means Eilene created Natsumi Moe, not that she WAS Natsumi.



She posted a Youtube video and is also still tweeting, including tweets she has deleted which were only captured by Discord bot (post), pictures of meds (post with archives) and a claim that she messaged Korekore the JP dramatuber (post with archives).

Edit 2024-02-10: FalseEyeD the EN dramatuber interviewed the man Eilene accused of scamming her in her suicide note (video).
