Froot VTuber Face Reveal & VShojo Past Life
The Froot VTuber you watch cackling through horror games and drawing gorgeous art on Twitch spent years secretly building other people’s faces before she ever showed her own! She was a famous anime illustrator, a VShojo founder, and one of the last talents standing when the entire agency burned to the ground in 2025.
If you have spent any time watching VShojo clips, you already know the Froot VTuber energy. She is the sleepy little lich with the soft voice, the green glowing tattoos, and the evil laugh that jumps out of nowhere. She looks cute and cozy, then she cackles like a tiny cartoon villain and chat completely loses it. But the woman behind Apricot the Lich has a past life most fans never connect to her, and her VShojo story ended in one of the messiest agency collapses we have ever covered. Let’s get into all of it, from her secret artist career to her face reveal to the moment she walked out on her own terms.
Who Is The Froot VTuber?
Froot, known in character as Apricot the Lich, is an English VTuber and illustrator from England. She debuted on November 27th, 2020 as one of the founding first generation members of VShojo, dropping in right alongside Ironmouse, Nyanners, Silvervale, and Zentreya from day one.
Her character is an undead lich who has been alive so long that she has literally forgotten chunks of her own history, including who first gave her the name Apricot. Lore fans will tell you she was once a half-dragon girl who lost those powers when she was turned into a lich. These days she just hangs out in an underworld castle drawing art, which is honestly the coziest villain backstory ever written.
Design wise she reads as human at first glance, but look closer and you catch the long pointed ears, four dark purple horns curling back from her head, and messy teal hair streaked with emerald green. Her eyes glow bright green, and her face tattoos light up green when she channels magic. It is a stunning model, and there is a very good reason for that, which we will get to in a second.
Want to see the model actually move and hear that sleepy lich voice? Her official VShojo 2.0 debut trailer shows it off beautifully.

Froot VTuber Past Life: The Artist Called BSApricot
Here is the twist most casual viewers miss. The Froot VTuber past life is not some random office job or a tiny forgotten stream account. Before Froot ever existed, she was already a respected anime artist working under the name BSApricot.
And she was not just doodling for fun either. She worked as a professional illustrator and costume designer for other VTubers before she ever became one herself. She drew art for their debuts, designed their outfits, and helped build their Live2D models. She is credited with designing the models for Hime and Lord Commander Chaos, and she drew Ironmouse’s introduction art as well. Sit with that for a second. She was literally building other creators’ faces long before she showed her own.
It also explains why she slotted into VShojo so perfectly. The whole brand was built on chaotic, wildly talented indie creators, and Froot was already living in that scene as an artist before she ever stepped in front of a camera.
The Froot VTuber Face Reveal
Alright, the part you scrolled down for. The Froot VTuber face reveal actually happened, and it landed way earlier than most fans expect.
Back in August 2021, Froot dropped a partial face reveal on her Twitter, covering part of her face with her own avatar emoji as a little tease. Extremely on-brand goblin behavior. Then the very next day she went all the way and did a full face reveal stream on YouTube. She tweeted afterward on August 17th, saying she did not expect so many people to show up just to see her face, and thanking everyone for dropping by with her signature little “hehehehehe.”
The reveal itself matched the vibe perfectly. She has a soft, dreamy energy in person that lines up exactly with her sleepy lich voice, so fans who tuned in got precisely the cozy artist girl they had pictured in their heads.
Here is her actual face reveal post, the August 17th, 2021 tweet thanking everyone for turning up.

Now here is the drama. Not everyone was thrilled! A slice of fans got weirdly upset that she showed her face at all, whining that it broke their “immersion” with the character. That reaction says a lot more about them than it does about Froot, and she clearly knew it. She just kept it moving, kept posting the occasional selfie, and by her later updates the response had warmed way up. The immersion crowd calmed down, fans got comfortable, and Froot proved you can absolutely be both a beloved lich avatar and a real person who posts a cute picture now and then.

Froot’s Character, Voice, And Personality
Part of why Froot blew up is that her personality is such a delicious contradiction. On paper she is a terrifying immortal lich who has outlived civilizations. In practice she is a soft-spoken sweetheart with a high, calming voice who gets absolutely spooked by horror games she picked out herself.
That contradiction is the entire bit! She loves horror, she loads up something scary, and then she flinches and squeaks at every single jump scare while chat spams laughing emotes. She is playful, a little mischievous, and always one beat away from that goofy evil laugh that became one of her most clipped moments ever.
Content wise she mostly lives in the Just Chatting category, but her art streams are where she truly shines. Watching an illustrator of her level casually draw for hours is genuinely relaxing, almost like a study-with-me stream except the study is her being ridiculously good at her craft. She also dips into strategy and role playing games, with Warhammer 40,000 and Zenless Zone Zero popping up in her rotation. It is a lovely mix of chill, creative, and nerdy that keeps her community coming back.
Froot And The Other VShojo Members
You cannot tell the Froot story without the rest of the VShojo members, because that agency was basically a friend group that turned pro. When VShojo launched, the founding lineup was Froot, Ironmouse, Nyanners, Silvervale, and Zentreya, with Projekt Melody and others joining the roster along the way.
Froot fit right in as the calm, arty one of the crew. While Ironmouse brought the loud chaos and Nyanners brought the cursed comedy, Froot was the cozy lich painting in the background and popping in with a creepy little giggle. She was actually the first VShojo member who had not been an indie VTuber before joining, which makes her run even more interesting since she came in from the art side. The collabs between the VShojo members were half the fun of the whole brand, and Froot was woven into that friend circle twice over, both as talent and as the artist who had literally drawn for some of them.
For a while VShojo looked absolutely unstoppable. The energy was real, the roster was stacked, and Froot was a core piece of the machine. Then it all came apart.
The VShojo Twitter Meltdown And The Collapse
Then came 2025, and things went sideways fast. The whole implosion basically played out in real time on VShojo Twitter for everyone to watch.
On July 21st, 2025, Ironmouse posted that she was resigning from VShojo effective immediately. She accused the agency of failing to pay her a significant amount of money, and she said the company owed the Immune Deficiency Foundation at least 500,000 dollars in charity donations raised during her Twitch streams. That charity money was supposed to go straight to the foundation. That is the kind of accusation that ends a company, and it did exactly that.
Once Ironmouse went public, the dam broke. Other talents came forward saying VShojo had missed months of payments to them too, and within about 24 hours nearly every creator on the roster had cut ties. Former CEO Justin “Gunrun” Ignacio eventually confirmed the company had run out of money to pay talent and admitted funds raised through talent activity had been spent. VShojo announced it was shutting down entirely on July 24th. Scrolling the VShojo Twitter timeline that week was genuinely wild, with goodbye posts and callouts stacking up by the hour.
The whole thing kicked off with Ironmouse’s own video laying out the accusations, which is worth watching to understand the wreckage Froot walked out of.

Froot was right in the middle of all of it, and her exit came with its own little wrinkle.
Projekt Melody Leaving VShojo And Froot Going Indie
The wave of departures caught everyone. Zentreya, Kson, Henya, Hime, Michi Mochievee, and more all headed for the door. Projekt Melody leaving VShojo landed on July 22nd, 2025, right in the thick of the collapse, and Projekt Melody going independent was one of the loudest exits of the bunch since she was such a massive draw.
Froot ended up being the very last founding member to make it official. On July 24th she announced her own departure, stripped VShojo out of her name and bio, switched fully to going independent as Froot the lich, and brought up a copyright strike situation while sharing sympathy for both the talent and the staff caught in the wreckage.
For a brief stretch during the chaos she even looked like the only active VShojo member left standing, which was a genuinely strange spot for the quiet artist of the group to land in. But she came out of it just fine. She kept her model, kept her community, and carried on streaming as an indie, which honestly suits her better than anything. She started this entire journey as an independent artist, so going back to being her own boss is a full circle moment for her.
