Kitanya Is Here

Kitanya Nyanta is an English Virtual YouTuber from South Africa.

Personality
Kitanya has an energetic and outgoing demeanor, and often speaks in an animated manner. She can easily continue commentating for several hours without a break, no matter what she's doing. She can be very stubborn, especially when it comes to beating a game, forcing herself to continue until she's completely exhausted. During one Fausts Alptraum speedrun, she played for 10 hours until she broke the world record.

Kitanya is considerate and humble, and does her best to entertain her viewers and the vtubers she collaborates with. She tries to read every message in chat, which often causes delays and mistakes when gaming. She is hesitant to request collaborations with other vtubers because she doesn't want to be seen as clout-chasing.

Appearance
Her current model is a kitsunemimi (fox girl) with blond hair and fox ears, with a green ribbon hanging from her right ear. Her eyes are orange-red, with red stripes on her cheeks and right shoulder. She also has a thin braid draped over her front and a fox tail.

Her current outfit is an open jacket, yellow undershirt, red skirt, and sneakers. The jacket is translucent white with green on the left shoulder and blue on the right shoulder, with several accessories.

Her original model is a nekomimi (cat girl) with light blond hair and cat ears, with a green tassel hanging from her right ear. Her eyes are orange-red, with red stripes on her cheeks and right shoulder. She also has a thin braid draped over her front and a cat’s tail.

Her original outfit is a grey shirt and a green skirt. During a date stream, she replaced her grey shirt with a black one, and has frequently worn it since.

She has also worn a maid outfit.

When angry, additional red stripes appear on her face, and her eyes become pure red.

Her eyes can change color, and have also been: pure red, green, and blue. These other colors are rarely seen.

During an art stream, she created an alternate version of her default model with a detached head, nicknamed "Dullanyan". The head is held by its braid from one hand, and it can turn slightly. It has only appeared once since that stream.

During her first Twitch stream, her model appeared with wings and a halo. In the alternate version, they were made of cardboard.

During her birthday stream on 8 August 2021, she revealed a new model with long hair, a loose blue-and-green jacket around a white sailor-style dress, white socks, and red sneakers
