SquChan

Squchan is a female independent English VTuber streamer and freelance artist. She has been streaming on Twitch since 15 June 2020, but didn't make her model debut until 13 February 2021. She is independently produced, but also a member of the Twitch team Vyugen as of September 2021.

Personality
SquChan is an easy going space cat with a penchant for ensnaring her chat with either her charm or her tentacles. Known as a bit of a speed runner for how quickly she can finish a piece of artwork but despite this engaging with her chat while she works on her latest piece comes naturally to her. Whether it be a good old rant or the occasional dance party, but most commonly you can find her enjoying a good dose of banter, and the occasional spot of fun in being sarcastic to any unwitting trolls in the chat. She can also be found enjoying her own dance party every now and then when the mood strikes her.

Appearance
SquChan has mid length blond hair with sparkly lilac highlights towards the ends tied into two loose ponytails by two black bows and accentuated by small black clips and an ahoge in the middle between her cat ears. Her tail matches the hair colour with her ears blending the hair into the fur with the same colour on the outside and fluffy white fur poking out finished off with two piercings in the left ear. Her eyes are easily one of her most noticeable features being multicoloured in shades of red, orange and purple with the round pupil surrounded by a black circle and the eye itself being decorated with little hearts.

Red markings adorn her cheeks in the style of stripes below her eyes. Being a space cat she also possesses eight large purple tentacles that protrude from her back that can be summoned at will. There is also an alter model that features white hair in place of the blond with the right eye being purple and different coloured clothing.

Her original model featured shorter hair and consisted of a white collar held together by a black ribbon, a white blouse tucked into a red skirt tied off with a loose belt supporting her signature red amulet, red stockings with one pulled above the knee and held up by a leather strap and finished off with a pair of black boots with red laces and sporting a pink jacket with a hood and a fluffy white accent on the inside.

The latest outfit features many different outfit designs but most commonly sports knee high black stockings with pink/purple sneakers and thigh shorts with a belt supporting them and her amulet with a little ribbon choker tied around her neck. The variations have included various different tops with different colours depending on the whether she's using her regular or alter model and a pair of overalls.

Background
