Kettletoro

Kettletoro (also known as Kettle, in short) is an independent female English speaking VTuber based in Singapore. *le bonk* Ow! What the hell was that?!! .... *sigh* Fine, fine!... Singapore is her go-to VPN server, she’s actually from planet Mars. *ahem* Anyways, she gained her fame by streaming and making Youtube Shorts and TikToks about Genshin Impact trivia and lore, and occasionally dropping a pun in them. On streams, she is sweet, kind, with some lewdness on the side. She mainly speaks English (both on streams, and in real life), but she also knows Mandarin Chinese. She debuted on 21st of May, 2022, but there will be a re-debut on 20th of April, 2023.

Profile
Jenshin Youtoober, Twitch Partner, and a professional pepega.

Personality
Kettletoro is mostly sweet, kind, but she is not afraid to show her “sussy”, “cultured”, and a bit cruel side, which strengthens the light-hearted bond between her and the viewers. Sometimes, she makes a silly challenge for herself, and stays committed to it. The most famous examples are the no map challenge (a challenge where she does not unlock Statues of The Seven and goes around the map essentially blindly), which she has been doing since the release of Inazuma Region (hence, she calls herself “map-sochist”); and leveling up to level 90 and “triple-crowning” the worst and most useless character in the entirety of Genshin Impact — Aloy (as an incentive on her charity stream), and even attempting to clear Spiral Abyss with 36 stars with Aloy (which she failed, and, as a punishment, did 100 pulls, and added 1 more Welkin Moon to the giveaway).

She oftentimes procrastinates, which is why nearly every event in Genshin Impact is done in its last couple of days. This is the same reason why she uploaded her “Inazuma with no map challenge” video on Youtube 6 months after the release of said region and her first playthrough of the Inazuma Archon Quest.

Kettle also has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, which is why she can easily get distracted and frequently forgets the thing she said and/or had on her mind just 5 seconds ago (and she also may aimlessly run around the same 5 square meter area for 10 seconds). This is why she sometimes says “You, guys, have such a good memory!” to her viewers whenever they remind her to do something she wanted to do a minute or two ago.

3D
Despite claiming to be from planet Mars, Kettle looks like pretty much any other anime girl from planet Earth. Her hair is pink, just like sakura petals. Her eyes are green, just like jade, or emerald. Her sleeveless blouse and hoodie jacket (which is not fully worn, and is hanging on her elbows) are white, just like clouds in the skies during daytime. Her bow-tie, shorts and shoes are black, just like half of her map in Genshin Impact.

She also has a small seal as a hair clip right above her right eye. Her hair goes down to her hips, and there is also a pony tail on her left side.

Background
Her debut happened in 21st of May, 2022, 4 days after the announcement (or, technically speaking, 7 ). She did not prepare for it until the last moment. She called her debut "the thing", because she was too scared to properly call it a debut.

Trivia

 * Her name consists of 2 parts: "kettle", her actual name, and "toro". “Toro” comes from 2 things: Tottoro from Studio Ghibli, and the word in Japanese, とろ (toro), which means “tuna” (or as Kettle said in her debut thing, “fatty tuna”). The reason why she added the "toro" part to her name is so that it would be easier for people to search for her, and not get pictures of electric and stove-top kettles (this was said not in the debut, but during a collab with Nalithea).
 * Later, she did a pointless graph of her personality, where she indicated that her best traits are procrastination and pepega-ness.
 * Her model is a frankenstein: she and her friend made this model in VRChat, and then Kettle turned it into a VTuber model for VSeeFace (the software she uses for VTubing).
 * Kettle really loves hotpot, mala hotpot in particular.
 * She simps for ShyLily.
 * Her favorite Genshin ship is "ChiLumi" (Childe x Lumine).
 * Kettle's ADHD is not typical, but one with dominant attention deficit.
 * In her 3D debut stream, she mentioned that she has reflux — when the stomach acid goes up and burns her throat, which involuntarily changes her voice a bit. (editor's note: poor kettle, such a wonderful voice, and experiencing such a horrible thing... ToT [like a crying emoji]. even when your screams make my brain vibrate like a subwoofer speaker, there’s still something charming about it [even more so, when you panik and try to fix the scuff asap, or when you get scared by DICKS] <3)
 * There were two occasions when she sent the live notification in her Discord server an hour after starting the stream, because she forgot to notify in the beginning (this meme captures it perfectly).
 * She is reluctant with saying which country she is in (editor's note: but i already kinda exposed her location in the intro lol), but the games she plays expose her general location anyways: Asia server, and SGD - Singaporean dollar (not sugondese). The only time she said out loud that she is from Singapore is during an Overwatch 2 collab with Nalithea.
 * She used to work in Starbucks, but not for very long, because she frequently forgot who ordered which drink, and was overall pretty bad at making drinks.
 * Her fan base is called “Teabags”, but before adopting this name, Kettle had other options, such as “Teacups”, “Step-cups”, and “Step-teabags”.
 * One fellow Genshin youtuber, DaddyWohn, made a Youtube Shorts video, where he introduced Torokettle — a parody character on Kettletoro, which soon became Kettle’s arch-nemesis (the video was deleted as of March 2023).
 * Another fellow Genshin youtuber, yejisaurex, made a couple of Youtube Shorts videos, where he mentioned that Kettle has “C6 brain damage” and C6 Qiqi (which is essentially implying that Kettle has a stack of C6 brain damage after getting C6 Qiqi).
 * She mainly plays Genshin Impact and oftentimes Overwatch. But she used to also play Valorant, Apex Legends, Dead by Daylight, and even Phasmophobia and VRChat.
 * Kettle is a proud (and great) Mercy main in Overwatch.
 * When she was younger, she used to play drums.
 * She has extremely poor sense of direction, which is why she plays with rotating mini-map (if such option is given), and she even managed to get lost in Phasmophobia.
 * She does not like playing horror games, with an exception of Dead by Daylight. Though she has no issues with watching other people play horror games.
 * She made a Youtube Shorts video about Enka.Network, and soon after, she got featured on the site’s home page, and her Genshin UID was featured as an example.
 * In early February 2023, she got herself a dog — a brown, toy miniature poodle, named Bond (like James Bond) . She oftentimes calls him “Bon Bon”. But when Kettle was thinking of a name for her future dog, her aunt suggested the name “Koochie” . Also, she used Bond to pull for Dehya, and got her.
 * She has been taking care of a 105 dog years old dog named Blaze. This dog is blind and a bit deaf, and once he accidentally missed while doing his "toilet stuff", and, because of that, Kettle had to start streaming a little later.
 * Around Catholic/Protestant Christmas time in 2022, she played Windtrace on stream, and she let her fans bet their channel points on whether will Kettle win or lose. There were loses, but there were also wins. At some point, given that Kettle is a professional pepega, not only did she lose a game of Windtrace, but she also selected “win” as a correct prediction outcome, despite losing. This is how she accidentally scammed her viewers.
 * Kettle oftentimes writes “Jenshin” instead of “Genshin”, as a reference to The Game Awards moment where the announcer lady read out loud the nomination winner (which was Genshin), and pronounced the letter G like in the word “generate”, instead of the correct one, like in “go”, “gift” or “get”.
 * There is an anonymous viewer that sends Kettle a lot of Genesis Crystals nearly on every stream (at times, the stream truly starts with him letting Kettle and chat know that he is here). He got the nickname “Jifter”, instead of “Gifter”, again, as a reference to The Game Awards announcer lady, and simultaneously, as a reference to the debate where people argue about the correct pronunciation of “gif”: G llike in “get”, “google” and “gullible”, or like in “generation”, “genuine” and “generous”.
 * In 18 February 2023, Kettle wanted to pull for Yelan and get C1, but Jifter gave her few more thousands of Genesis Crystals (by that time, he had already given 110k+ Crystals in total). Her chat kept asking to pull for C6 Yelan, and soon she succumbed to chat’s peer pressure and pulled until she got C6 Yelan. Shortly after unlocking Yelan’s full constellation, her fire alarm went off, and she joked about “whale alert” ringing. Since that day, Teabags joke about Kettle “getting gaslit to pull for c6 yelan”, and she got the nickname "Whaletoro"
 * Kettle once told a story, from a young age, when she went to cinema, and got some popcorn stuck to her butt. A dog smelled that popcorn, and started chasing Kettle, and the dog’s owner was chasing the dog. This story then got clipped.
 * She told another story, from the times when she was around 12 years old, when she used to troll people she knew by digging out their addresses on the internet and saying “i know where you live”. Needless to say, it was creepy, but it is not needless to say that Kettle is creeped out by her own teen-self.
 * Kettle did an Overwatch 2 collab with Nalithea in 14th of December, 2022. At some point, Nalithea needed to pee, so once she got up, Kettle’s wholesomeness took an......... “interesting” twist. This is where Kettle said the now famous quote “Enjoy your pee!”, which might be (according to her) the most embarrassing thing she has ever said in her entire life (but her Teabags still love her nonetheless, and after a while, she started memeing along with her chat about “enjoying one’s pee” (the fifth stage of grief is achieved) ).
 * Kettle rarely completes her World Quests and Story Quests (even on stream — a true procrastinator), and there are a ton of quests left uncompleted, if the quests got lucky enough to get started in the first place. For example, in late October 2022, she started the “Through the Mists” World Quest (the one with a boy named Ruu, in Tsurumi Island). Also, in that quest, before meeting Ruu, she did not know who was this person, so she assumed that Ruu is “a hot and voluptuous woman”. Kettle continued doing this quest on stream for a couple of weeks more, but then did not touch it until second half of February 2023.
 * In early November 2022, when she was completing the Sumeru Archon Quest, and was about to fight Shouki no Kami, she got jumpscared by the “DICKS” sound alert, to the point of yelling, 4 times in the span of 10 minutes. Ever since that moment, Kettle gets scared when someone plays the “DICKS” alert. In that same stream, when Kettle and Nahida met Rukkhadevata, K4zemane, her viewer (now Twitch moderator), played “I pulled a Qiqi” sound alert, precisely during the most heartbreaking and saddest moment of the cutscene, and then got timed out on stream for 10 minutes.

Likes

 * Kettle’s favorite animes are “Kimi no na wa”, “Violet Evergarden”, “Komi can’t communicate”, “Gakkou Gurashi!”, “Made in Abyss”, and “basically, anything with good plot!”.
 * Kettle likes spicy food, pink color, seals, hoodies, blankets, sweet food, and “noods” (aka noodles)

Dislikes

 * She dislikes bananas, touching grass, and lying. She is afraid of cockroaches, showing her bad aim, reading things wrong.
