Nyatasha Nyanners

Nyatasha Nyanners, commonly known as Nyanners, is a female virtual YouTuber, Twitch streamer, voice actress, and singer. She is best known for her gentle voice and rap music covers.

Personality
Nyanners is a gentle, sensitive, and pure-hearted catgirl with a good sense of humor. Her "seiso" (pure) attitude is offset by a tendency to use toilet jokes and reference adult topics.

Nyanners is easily startled by loud noises and large donations. She is strongly moved by nostalgic video games such as Ocarina of Time and Final Fantasy X.

Appearance
Nyanners is a catgirl with fluffy pink hair and purple eyes. Her hair has an ahoge on top, and her cat ears have soft fur inside them.

She wears a pale blue hoodie, which hangs off her shoulders because, although it is comfy, it is also too warm. She wears a black and white top underneath which says にゃん〜, the Japanese spelling of "nyan~". Her hair and clothes are decorated with cat motifs.

An alternate costume, debuted on 1 Oct 2020, reveals a purple and black costume with bat motifs and a single side-ponytail. It depicts her for the first time with legs, having previously appeared with a spiderlike lower body.

On 3 November 2020, Nyanners' default outfit gained a new hair clip depicting a cat ghost wearing an eyepatch. It replaces her original hair clip of a simple cat face. The cat ghost represents Nyanners' true form as an otherworldly eldritch spirit for whom Nyatasha Nyanners is just the latest in series of haunted vessels; while the eyepatch represents Yakuza character Goro Majima.

Background
Nyanners first created her pink-haired catgirl character on 13 May 2012, although it did not receive a name. For her birthday on 14 June of that year, Nyanners received two pieces of fanart depicting her as this character: one used in Ken Ashcorp's A Song for Nyanners' Birthday, and another by Pikkurni, later used in Tsukema Tsukeru cover to illustrate Nyan Nyanners, an Utauloid voice synthesis trained on Nyanners' singing voice.

Nyanners would go on to represent herself with depictions of this character in other videos, including numerous song covers from 2014 onward. When she became a Twitch partner in October 2016, this character appeared in her Twitch emotes.

2020
On 17 July, after several years of streaming on Twitch using various Facerig avatars due to shyness, Nyanners revealed her custom virtual avatar. On 21 July she posted her character bio, revealing the official name Nyatasha Nyanners. The name was selected by a series of polls on Nyanners' Discord. Rejected names included Nyanzu Nyanneru, Nyanasu Nyanners, and Nyatasha Kotova Neru III.

Nyanners announced reaching 100,000 Twitch followers on 29 July 2020, and 200,000 followers on 10 Oct 2020.

On 20 October, following reports of copyright takedowns on Twitch VODs, Nyanners established the Nyanners VODs YouTube channel to archive past streams. On 23 October, she announced that she would delete all VODs hosted at Twitch to avoid the risk of copyright strikes, but her community was able to save a substantial backup. The following day, Nyanners announced a two-week hiatus for unrelated personal reasons. On 9 November she announced her return scheduled for Nov 11, declaring "prepare your wives".
