Vtubers call the artist who drew their model "mama", so he is probably taking her to some artist he knows to brainstorm what her vtuber persona will look like.Who’s mama?
Isn't becoming a Vtuber pretty damn expensive? Even if they get the "mama" to design her character for free or for a favor, she'll either be a pngtuber or then need a "papa" to rig the model that can be even more expensive than the character, unless it's done for free or as a favor again. Then there's face-tracking, a decent enough computer and streaming set-up, etc. I mean, I know he's a big clipper for the girl that went on hiatus but this girl is in for a world of sticker shock unless there are plenty of conveniences heading their way.
Model + rigging can very easily range into the thousands too (more than the PC at the higher end), but it's quite reasonable to start off with a cheaper/lower quality one and move up from there.VTube Studio is free to use with a $15 watermark removal option. Livestream software like OBS is free to use as well. So the only real costs here are the art fees for your character and the computer to stream off of. Depending on what kind of VTuber you're planning to be, the computer can be anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand USD, so the majority of your investment is there. The art depends mostly on the artist being hired, but IIRC unless you're getting someone who's a major name within the anime/manga/art scene, it's a few hundred or so.
TL;DR it's not as expensive as you think.
That's basically a cardinal taboo in Japanese idol culture, of which vtubing essentially exists as a tangent of.Why can't he also be a V-Tuber? It could be like a pair thing, which would also have the benefit of making them stand out more amongst the competitors. Having banter between their two characters is also a good way to give the streams some "meat" before they get a large enough following for stream chat interactions.
Well, there are some face capturing tools that are not that expensive and that don't require rigging. A lot of vtubers start with things like this and then they do an upgrade later with the resources they get as a vtuberIsn't becoming a Vtuber pretty damn expensive?

Nah, we all know he will meet his oshi in real live and this will turn into a love angle"i want to be right next to you when you achieve your dreams" at what point is that not a proposal..?
