1.) What is the one thing you love about your community?
Although there’s a plethora of reasons I love my community, the biggest reason is everyone in my community are a bunch of cheerleaders. I love that they’re my cheerleaders, but the best part is they’re also everyone else’s cheerleaders. Someone had a bad day, we’re all showering them with a shoulder to lean on, a space to listen, reminding them they’re amazing. Someone got a promotion in any way, we’re all cheering for their success, praising them for their victory, congratulating them for their hard work. The community we created wants to see everyone succeed because we truly believe we all deserve the best. It’s the greatest blessing I would have never seen coming.
2.) How did you get into content creation/gaming?
I’ve been gaming since I was a little girl (probably 3/4 years old) and my love for it never went away. My first gaming console was a CDI, then a PC, then a PlayStation 2. My love for horror gaming started with games like 7th guest, Phantasmagoria, and Haunted House on CDI.
3.) What was the best video game and worst video game you have ever played? Why?
Considering I’ve played a significant amount of games, it’s hard for me to feel solid on this answer (but I will keep it to the horror genre). The best I would say is the original Silent Hill 2. I feel in love with the atmosphere, psychological, and dark aspects of the game years ago. Playing characters that aren’t heroes/victims, but rather flawed people, adds more emotion to the story than I’d experience in other video games. Knowing what choices you make changes the end you receive always made me more excited to play than a clear cut ending.
Worst horror game I’ve ever played was probably September 7th. The game was cheesy with a lack of story, but with indie horror, it’s safe to say you’ll come across a lot of games like that.
4.) If you could collab with a community or influencer, who would it be?
The number 1 content creator I’d love to collab with is John Twolfe (formally known as harshly critical/John Wolfe). He has been my favorite horror content creator for as long as I can go back. Our demeanors are on opposite sides of the spectrum, but I find his reactions to everything so unsurprising, it’s hilarious. His genuine criticism of games falls under a fair review for me. I’d definitely fangirl a bit
5.) Who inspired you to start creating content or continues to inspire you?
I was inspired from a young age by John Twolfe/Markiplier/Pewdiepie/Jacksepticeye to become a content creator though watching their videos, but it was my older sister that really gave me the push to start streaming on Twitch. Not only do I love to talk, but I love to game, so it was the perfect match. To this day, my dreams to become a partnered Twitch streamer and my community keep me going. My passion for everything I’ve created in the last few years drives me everyday to make my dreams be on my reality.
6.) What is something you want people to know about you?
That no matter what life brings us, I am in your corner rooting for you. I truly believe there isn’t enough love in the world, so I will give whatever I can to remind you that you are loved, important, deserving, and appreciated. I’ve been asked “how can you love someone you haven’t met in person?” To some it may seem odd, but I love the bits and pieces people share with me; I love when you share your day with me; I love when you tell me how you feel; I love when you feel comfortable in a space I can provide.
Kindness is free, and as long as you’re a respectful person, I’ll have no issue loving and rooting for you. The world goes round when we support each other.
7.) What is the next big thing for you? What drives you on a daily basis?
The next big thing for me will be to continue trying to make my dreams come true. I’m driven by the idea that if you want something, you have to go get it. I don’t give up easily, so I’ll continue doing my best to come a full time Twitch Partner, despite my disabilities.
8.) What advice would you give to the next new creator that you wish you were given?
Get comfortable with being 100% yourself on camera as soon as possible.
You find your people when you are unapologetically yourself. Sprinkling yourself/expanding yourself is not the option to make people like you; BEING EXACTLY YOU is how people like you naturally.
Pay no mind to the people that say you need to change your personality to be more successful. You are perfect the way you are, my darling
9.) You get to go on a vacation anywhere. Where do you go and what’s the first thing you eat/drink?
Japan is an absolute dream location for me. Kyoto would be my first stop, along with sushi and hot green tea to make my heart as happy as can be! Always remember: study the culture of the places you want to travel, so you can be as respectful as you can during your time there
10.) Finally, if you were any animal, what would you be and why?
I would be a bird. The freedom of flight has always been a dream of mine. Soaring through the sky, freedom from the ground beneath us, all of it feels right (I have a love for skydiving). Maybe one day we’ll all be able to have our own wings
