Minya September

Minya September is an independent VTuber who streams on Twitch. She plays video games, sings, and plays acoustic guitar.

Personality
Minya has a soft and easygoing attitude.

Appearance
Minya has pink hair with yellow ties, and green eyes. Her artwork has a characteristic thick outline and flat shading.

Her main outfit is a green hoodie. Her second outfit is a short-sleeved purple ninja outfit, although Minya is not a ninja; it's just a costume.

Background
Minya's Twitch account was created on 23rd Aug 2019. The earliest known VOD for her channel is a session of Escape from Tarkov dated 13 Feb 2020.

Minya did not originally intend to be a VTuber. While seeking Twitch affiliate status, she commissioned an original character art to use as an avatar, in order to avoid using a copyrighted character. On 5 Mar 2020, she revealed her character art by gryphin1424, in an iconic thick-outlined style. This was followed on 6 Jun 2020 by another art of the character by the same artist.

Minya had the first piece of art turned directly into a VTuber avatar. Its first known appearance is in Minya's second-oldest VOD in an Escape From Tarkov stream on 22 Jul 2020. Minya never held an official debut stream for her avatar.

2020
Over Hallowe'en, Minya temporarily used a variant of her character model with vampire-like red eyes.

Minya accidentally invented a second ninja-style costume. For a collab stream with Leaflit, Minya had an artist friend modify the original art, because she felt the folded arms looked too bossy. However, the artist misinterpreted folds in the hoodie sleeves as representing as a short-sleeved hoodie with long undersleeves. Minya felt this looked like a ninja, and the artist subsequently drew her as a ninja. Minya had this integrated into her VTuber avatar.

On 13 December, Minya described plans to have a new model made. She felt the original character concept was too generic, and her original models lacked a lower half. While the ninja costume was popular with fans, Minya's plan was to return to the original Minya costume but make the character a vampire.

Quotes

 * "In the old days, people had the freedom to create unique games with great stories and systems. Now that we have an environment where small game companies can have the freedom to sell original games with their own ideas, it's very exciting!"
