- — Ame-chan
Ame-chan, otherwise known as OMGkawaiiAngel-chan or KAngel, is the main character of NEEDY STREAMER OVERLOAD. She is an aspiring streamer with the goal of becoming the #1 "Internet Angel".
Appearance[]
Ame-chan[]
Ame-chan is a petite young woman with a fair complexion and medium-length black hair which she styles into messy twin tails using red hair ties. She has slender black eyes, but her left eye is obscured by her bangs. She wears a red shirt with puffy white wing-like sleeves, a black ribbon, a golden x-shaped hair clip, a black pinafore with golden accents and buttons, and simple black knee-high socks with generic black shoes. She also has painted black and red nails to match her clothing. Although her sprite wears socks given the indoor setting, official figurines of her design show that she wears ankle boots with red shoelaces.
KAngel[]
As KAngel, she appears a lot more bubbly and "girly-looking" than her normal, real life self. Her hair is instead platinum blonde with a purple gradient on her bangs, and much kinder-looking baby blue eyes, with both of them being visible. She instead has long hair, which she stills styles into twin tails, only going with a more eccentric blue-pink combo with her twin tails swirling around each other to create something similar to that of DNA.
She wears a holographic seifuku (制服), a holographic micro skirt, holographic ankle straps and holographic heels. Among her outfit are also a bunch of bows ranging from bright blue, purple, pink and red in color, and small heart-shaped accessories of the same colors running up her left leg. She has also painted her nails blue, yellow, pink and hot pink.
Personality[]
Ame-chan[]
Ame-Chan is an insecure, lonely, honest and sensitive girl. She's quite obsessive towards P-Chan, and she is an extremely internet-addicted girl. She shows an extreme hatred towards adults and her audience's nerdy tendencies, despite being an adult otaku herself. Throughout the game, she also frequently self-harms if her stress is high and may take heavy drugs if her mental darkness is high. In certain routes she can also get addicted to any form of affection and even sexual activities.
KAngel[]
As KAngel, she puts on a manic pixie dream girl persona and pretends to be incredibly kind and sweet. She is also known to flirt with her fans, more specifically the otaku types. Unlike her off-stream self, she's incredibly bold and talks condescendingly (yet lovingly) to haters and fans alike. KAngel's facade rarely breaks unless Ame is sufficiently stressed out, but Ame's real personality might show to a downplayed extent here and there.
Story[]
Ame was born in a poor household when she was young. She witnessed her parents arguing a lot in front of her and eventually divorcing, but that didn't stop the arguments. Her mother also nearly forced her into prostitution for income before Ame ran away from home and hopped between whichever friend group that'd let her in. Her parents were neglectful of her, and they are not interested in what she had to tell them. Because of this, she has always dreamt of becoming popular so that people would come and see her. However, given that Ame and P-Chan visit her parents at their house midway through the game and that Ame claims she can move back in with them if her streaming career fails, this may imply her parents are still living together, and potentially remarried or got back together down the line.
Ame was also bullied in primary school, with at least one student doing so because of her good looks, and she became a shut-in and skipped school because of it. In the Japanese version of the game, Ame states that she is an "中卒", or "Middle School Graduate", implying that she dropped out of highschool.
Before becoming a streamer, Ame and P-Chan moved in together. In pursuit of attention, Ame-chan speculated a lot about what her streaming life would be like and planned meticulously. After P-Chan set up her streaming equipment, she began streaming. She gave her and P-Chan a month to reach one million subscribers.
Relationships[]
P-Chan[]
Ame-chan is in a toxic relationship with P-chan. Ame is heavily dependent on P-chan, often saying that she'll die without them. She texts them near-constantly, despite living in the same house together. She often dreams and idolizes a future with P-Chan where she's rich and happy. Though, the true ending reveals the fact that P-Chan is not real and it's just an imaginary friend made up by Ame.
Ame's Parents[]
Ame's parents are never named individually and not much is known about them, but she says her parents were neglectful. She seems to be on fine enough terms with them, as in the So Close Yet So Far ending she moves back to their house once streaming doesn't pan out for her and she takes P-Chan to meet her parents.
Trivia[]
- Ame's name means "candy" (飴) in Japanese. However, in the game, she would send a message to P-Chan about her name, it says her name actually means "rain"(雨).
- In the original Japanese version, it says that Ame's true name, 雨 is read as "rain", instead of "ame" in usual.
- The Japanese name for K-Angel is "ChoTen-Chan/Super Ten-Chan" (超てんちゃん). It is an abbreviation of the native name for OMGKawaiiAngel, "Chouzetsu Saikawa Tenshi-chan" (超絶最かわてんしちゃん, lit. "Super Kawaii Angel").
- Although her birth year is unconfirmed, Ame is at least 20 years old due to her being on the Japanese National registry.
- Ame was thought to be confirmed to be at least 24 in a quote from the January 2024 Nidiga Pop-Up Exhibition advertisement in the Needy Girl Shop website. For clarification, this was meant to be a reference to Nyarla.
- "今回は超てんちゃんのみではなく、パンクでロックな女の子『あめちゃん』の概念空間も登場！あめちゃんの内面を体現した幻想的なスポットで24年の想い出もキマり！" (lit. "This time, not only KAngel, but the punk-rock girl 'Ame Chan' will make an appearance. A fantastic spot that embodies Ame-chan's inner self, bringing back 24 years of memories!")

- Excluding her appearances as KAngel, Ame's left eye is usually never seen, or obscured by an object. The only time where one can see it is in file008. ☆
- In the manga adaptation "Run With My Sick", Ame is revealed to have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. While the manga is not directly canon to the original game, it is heavily implied that canonical Ame deals with one or more unspecified mental disorders.
- In one of the dialogues Ame can say during the game, Ame states that her birthday is on May 5th but she makes it so K-Angel's birthday is on July 7th, which may be a referenced to the fact that K-Angel is the "internet-angel" and the fact that 7 is a lucky number that is perceived to have a divine meaning.
