Knives Santoku, better known under the username wheresmaiknives is a female English-speaking American VTuber. She has been streaming since 2018, but officially debuted on Twitch as a VTuber on 22 November 2020. She is most notably known for her art and VRoid streams.

Profile
A ditzy and carefree artist, found to be the host of the soul of a powerful and vengeful ancient goddess. She does not stream often, but when she does it is usually multiple times that week.

Personality
Knives is a generally shy, but loud person. She started streaming to help ease her social anxiety and has since started to improve. Though most of her streams are mute, she makes the effort to every now and again push herself to stream with mic. It is not uncommon for her to become very excited, or very frustrated in an instant. She has a slight speech impediment and often stumbles and trips upon her words or lose her train of though, most definitely not helping with her awkward and goofy energy. Despite this, she is a sweet and welcoming individual who wants to spread positivity and love towards those who support her.

Appearance
Knives is a slender bodied individual, with long wavy brown hair and blue eyes. Her outfit's color palate consists of white, black, pink, gold and red. She has floppy dog ears and a long bushy tail. On her face are three beauty marks, one on the right side of her chin, and two sitting vertically from each other below her left eye. She is always seen wearing her pink beret and black hair bows.

Her jewel adornments, including her socks, collar, hairpin, gloves and shoulder pin are crucially important to her. As superstitious and anxious of an individual as she is, the stones serve as amulets, protecting her from the evils and dangers, both inside herself and the world around her.

Background
Knives has been streaming on Twitch since October 2018, however under a different alias as she had not yet become a VTuber. She began streaming around June 2020 with a separate 3D model than her past design to test the waters. She debuted with her original VTuber model and design on 22 November 2020. She has since changed her design once, to her present avatar but did not do a formal debut for this current model. She posted her past VTuber design on 29 June 2020. Went to the VRchat "VTuber Prom" event with her friend Joypad in November 2020 where she featured a new prom outfit for her 3D model. Knives debuted her model on 22 November 2020 with a very scuffed start.

On 13 April, she teased her current design and model.

On 18 April, formally revealed said design.

Around June, she took a stream hiatus due to insufficient internet access.

2022
Around July, she began streaming more frequently again.

On 7 August, she made herself a new chibi 3D model.

Lore
Knives has always felt out of place in the world and in day to day life. She doesn't fit in with many people, and due to her introversion doesn't have the easiest time making friends. She had always been a creative person and loved to draw. When streaming platforms were on the rise and a new category of streaming emerged, VTubers, she knew streaming would become an engaging way to share her art and connect with other people.

On the surface, Knives was indeed a sweet, kind, and soft spoken girl. However, dealing with many haunting thoughts and irrational anger towards herself. Her skin would chill and jolt with energy as her mind would blank and feel as if she was being controlled, unable to do anything but feel the corruption throughout her body. She just could not fathom how what she was feeling could have been normal, so one day she set out for answers. As she walked the streets, she passed by a medium who pulled her by the arm and into a small shack. The medium hesitantly apologized for grabbing her so out of the blue, but told her that she needed to listen. So, Knives obliged and listened to what the lady had to say. She told her of the vision and world she saw, an ancient war between gods that did not turn in her favor. She told the story of a goddess that took the form of a cat, who built her society on the promise of life and prosperity for her people. Upon this promise, they created the world's most powerful economy, and everyone lived in harmony and opulence. Not all communities were as lucky as theirs, and so many people and their deity's grew a hatred towards the goddess. They wanted her kingdom to fall, and that is exactly what led to happen. Her people lived in pure bliss and harmony, so they were not prepared when thousands of people rushed their towns to slaughter them all. Not even the goddess had known the other gods were planning such an attack, and so the empire began to fall, leading to the goddesses eventual demise.

The medium explained that it was this goddesses spirit that lived inside of her, the unexplained anger, the visions and feeling of power inside of Knives was that of the vengeful spirits. Knives does not know what this might mean for her future, would the same thing potentially happen to her in her life time? What are the limits to her energy, and is there a way to use these ancient powers? No one knows, and Knives definitely isn't the type of person who would test that, so for now she keeps the amulets given to her by the medium on at all times to limit the spirits ability, that way nothing potentially happens to the world.
