Coqui

Coqui Saporana is an English language VTuber and a team member of South Side. She streams on Twitch.

Profile
''I'm in a two-member girl gang called the South Side Skinks! Rummy's the boss, and I'm the boss when Rummy isn't around and that's all ya' gotta know!!''

Background
Coqui debuted on 9 December 2021.

History
Coqui started with a model by Rem, debuting alongside Rummy as half of the South Side Skinks. Originally, Coqui did not see Twitch as something for her, as she thought it was only reserved for gaming content, later discovering variety content was entirely acceptable and finding her niche there. She began streaming with a small community, doing deep dive and variety streams. Over time, she began to do some gaming streams on recommendation from viewers as well.

In 2023, she had a redebut with an entirely revamped model made by Rem.

Coqui currently streams on Twitch, her main streams being variety content, deep dives, and usually a few gaming streams spread throughout the week.

Background
Coqui is a delinquent frog-girl who grew up terrorizing the streets with her friend and partner in crime, Rummy. She is apparently human aside from her ability to turn into a frog form and her having a small frog tail that never went away from her tadpole-girl to frog-girl stages as she grew up. Rummy and Coqui eventually decided to form a two girl gang called the South Side Skinks with Rummy as Boss and Coqui as Sub-Boss (determined by Rummy being taller than Coqui). Together, they continue to wreak havoc on the streets from their home base in the sewers. Especially, they enjoy playing pranks on the skeezy local arcade owner, Krimbo. Due to their past arrests, they have a lazy probation officer named Grimbull.

Over time, the South Side grew to accept more members eager to make mischief. This includes a cavewoman, a possum who lives in a dumpster, a magical cat-girl under house arrest, and a variety of other individuals. Coqui currently continues her gangly work as sub-boss, taking over as boss when Rummy isn't around (and wearing Rummy's hat).

Events
A competitive egg laying stream between Coqui and Bird (half of Sigrid and Bird), with Bird laying bird eggs and Coqui laying frog eggs. The victor of the contest was Coqui.

Recurring streams include infrequent streams where viewers may shock her through a shock collar linked to Twitch redeems and "Deep Dive" streams where Coqui goes into depth on IRL or internet rabbit holes.

Coqui was elected mayor of the Southside for the year, and is currently serving her term.
