Synopsis
Maris Tide is a rising star in the world of VTubing, but behind the shark-themed avatar and mischievous grin lies a past she can’t remember. With every stream, she captivates thousands—her voice soft yet full of energy, her chaotic charm irresistible. But as her popularity grows, strange things begin to happen. Whispers of a lost channel from a time before her debut, fragments of songs that aren’t hers, and a growing sense that something deeper lurks beneath the surface—Maris finds herself caught between the identity she’s built online and a mystery that threatens to pull her under. Who was she before the avatar? What happened to her forgotten self? And why are the echoes of her past calling her back to the digital world she thought she’d left behind? As the tides of memory rise, Maris must face the truth about her origins, her voice, and the virtual realm that has become her new reality. In Beyond the Avatar, self-discovery, digital identity, and hidden memories collide in a journey through the vast and ever-shifting sea of the internet.

Chapter 1 - Chapter 0: Stream Start—“Just Between Us

The screen flickers to life. A soft chime rings out.

A glowing avatar blinks into existence—silver hair with blank strands,white and black themed outfit with a genuine childish cahrm and energetic yellow eyes. She smiles.

"Good evening, chat. Or... morning, wherever you are."

A pause. The stream background shows an adorable artistic cafe , where the avatar is sitting on a table and lots of messages pop at the corner of the screen.

"It's kind of strange, isn't it?" she says, voice steady but soft. "You're there. I'm here. We talk like old friends, but we've never really met. Isn't that... beautiful?"

Comments begin to fly.

> "So true."

"Illegal loli being deep thought loli again."

"Are you okay? You sound a little depressed tonight .Did you ate the trap set for mouse again?."

She laughs. It's light, but distant—like it belongs to someone else.

"Do you ever feel like there's something you used to know... but forgot on purpose?"

No one replies right away.

"It's just a thought. Lately I've been dreaming about things I don't remember doing. Songs I never learned. Places I swear I've never been. But they feel so... familiar."

The chat slows. The mood shifts.

"But that's the fun of all this, right?" she continues, adjusting her mic. "You get to choose who you are. Out there, things are heavy, confusing. But in here—in this space—I can be anyone. And you can be with me."

A beat of silence.

"So let's make a deal. If I ever start saying weird things, or singing songs that don't sound like me... just pretend it's all part of the act, okay?"

She leans in slightly, smiling with a flicker of mischief.

"Because between us... maybe I'm not just starting out. Maybe I've just come back."

She winks. The stream transitions into the main overlay.

"Let's start the show."
