Who Is Nerissa Ravencroft?
Nerissa Ravencroft is a fictional character voiced by a real person who remains anonymous. She was introduced as part of hololive English third generation (Advent) in July 2023.1
As the Demon of Sound, her lore claims her singing was so powerful it could drive humans to madness, prompting the gods to imprison her.
During her imprisonment, she discovered Japanese idol music and penlight culture, which influenced her desire to perform again.

Her design features straight black hair with a blue inner side, horns shaped like musical notes, purple eyes, a raven mascot named Shadow, and a giant tuning‑fork staff. All these details are part of her character lore, not a reflection of the real person behind her.
Official sources explicitly keep her real identity private. No real name has ever been confirmed or revealed by hololive or the artist/voice actor, and this remains consistent with hololive policy to maintain the VTuber persona as separate from the real life individual.
Real Name and Identity: What Fans Believe
In VTuber fandom, there is a trend of investigating “past lives” and voice actor identities. In many cases, past performers have prior content under different aliases.
For Nerissa, the most commonly circulated theory is that her voice actor is Caitlin Myers, a streamer and singer known from her indie music projects and involvement with Interlunium.2
On Reddit, fans point out similarities in voice, musical tastes (especially references to The Smiths), and timing of closure of prior channels. One Reddit comment says:
“It’s her. On Caitlin’s Twitter she posts about the band The Smith’s which Nerissa has said is her favorite band multiple times.”
Such comparisons are anecdotal and speculative. No official confirmation exists and hololive does not comment on voice actor identity.
Has She Revealed Her Face?
To date (as of July 2025), Nerissa Ravencroft has not revealed her face or real identity. She maintains full anonymity consistent with most hololive VTubers.
Occasionally fan content uses imagined face reveals or speculative edits, especially on platforms like TikTok or Reddit—but none are official.
Hololive upholds privacy and separation of voice actor identity from VTuber persona. There is no verified video or photo showing the real person behind Nerissa. TikTok content with titles like “face reveal” is fan‑made or clickbait and has no official backing.
Even official media such as introduction videos, 3D streams, or social media posts have not provided anything that breaks her anonymity.

Why No Face Reveal? The Policy of Hololive
Hololive’s policy supports maintaining the separation of a VTuber’s face, real name, and personal info from the public persona.
This helps protect the voice actor’s privacy and preserves the immersive aspect of the virtual character.
Almost all VTubers under Cover Corporation adhere to this standard. Those who remain fully faceless maintain anonymity unless they choose to graduate or reveal intentionally.
Thus, the fact that Nerissa has not shown her real face is in line with official practice—not an oversight or glitch.
