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. While originally an independent streamer, she is now part of the agency VShojo.

Personality
Nyanners is a gentle, sensitive, and pure-hearted catgirl with a good sense of humor. However, her "seiso" (pure) attitude is offset by a tendency to use toilet jokes and reference adult topics. This contrast between pure and crude is considered by fans to be a defining aspect of Nyanners' appeal.

She is easily flustered by lewd things, loud noises and large donations. She is strongly moved by nostalgic video games such as Ocarina of Time and Final Fantasy X. Her love of FFX is legendary, and she describes the character Yuna as a major influence.

Nyanners has considerable knowledge of Japanese pop culture, and she is skilled at singing in Japanese and other languages, including Latin (Lilium), Russian (елочка заблести огнями) and constructed or fictional languages (Song of the Ancients). She has a case of chuunibyou, as exemplified by her obsession with Cold Steel heavy-duty sword canes and tendency to create elaborate lore.

Nyanners is also a skilled artist; although you wouldn't know it looking at her most popular creation Projekt Malady, a drawing of her fellow VShojo member she made with her eyes closed on stream. This has since prompted several more blind drawings of her peers.

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. Her hair hides a second set of human ears. She has a singular fang on her left side, this is her only tooth.

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. Recently she has changed her appearance seasonally.

An alternate costume, debuted on 1 October 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 variant with 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. However, she continued to use the old version in streams.

On 24 November 2020, she revealed a new winter outfit. It features and elaborate pale blue winter coat, frilled and lined with white fur, and decorated with cat motifs and shiny gold buttons. She also has a warm Russian-style ushanka hat, decorated with a ribbon pin featuring her cat familiar Goro.

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.

The name Nyanners comes from an (intended) troll account "NyanNya" she created during a 4chan raid on a Naruto message board however she quickly ended up embracing their community.

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".

On 24 November, she made a redebut revealing her new winter outfit, drawn by Nia and rigged by Iron Vertex. Nyanners also announced her membership in VTuber group VShojo, whose members include Projekt Melody, Ironmouse, Silvervale, Zentreya, Froot, Hime Hajime, and Nyatasha Nyanners. She reached 250,000 followers during this stream.

2021
On 1 January, Nyanners posted a YouTube video where she was executed for failing to reach 1 million subscribers by the end of 2020. In her Twitch stream later that day, she was replaced by a new clone, identified by having brown eyes rather than purple and a lack of familiarity with wife-stealing. She gained 7,000 new subscribers that day and subsequently reached 1 million subscribers on 2 January.

On 8 January, Nyanners posted What really happened on that fateful day..., revealing that she survived by deflecting the bullet with her Cold Steel sword cane, only to trip over a rock, hit her head on another rock and die in the snow. On 16 January she held a 1 million subscriber celebration YouTube stream attended by over peak 12,000 viewers, in which the original Nyatasha Nyanners was revealed to have survived by drinking her own pee.

On 12 March, Nyanners updated to a new short hairstyle, including other minor model updates. Canonically, she sliced off her hair using her sword cane and let it drift into the wind. She intends to still use her long hairstyle sometimes.

On 24 March, Nyanners was announced as a guest in Kizuna Ai's first virtual tour on 24 April.

Origin and certain nature

 * Nyanners' true form is that of a terrible eldritch spirit, who was summoned to earth more than a thousand years ago. To prevent her from conquering the world, she was sealed away in the Siberian Arctic for an age. Recently, she awoke from her slumber and was rejoined by her cat spirit familiar and began wandering the arctic together.

 * Nyanners' powers include the ability to shapechange and possess other forms. She adopted many vessels before taking her current form. The form of a non-threatening, wholesome pink catgirl was chosen as part of an elaborate plan to endear herself to humanity, following research into the power of strange pictographs known as "anime".
 * She began streaming as part of a plan to conquer the world. Unfortunately, her thirst for knowledge ran too deep, and continuous exposure to video games and anime caused her to become docile and lazy.

 * She does not poop, but magics away waste products in her digestive tract like fairy dust. There is an island somewhere in the world formed entirely from Nyanners' poop.

 * She officiated Silvervale and Veibae's wedding ceremony in 2021.

 * She possesses a button somewhere on her body that causes her hair to grow.
