【 Lore (Redebut...?)】The Thief is here to rob you(r heart)!

Dokibird's introduction.

Personality

Doki has an energetic, trickster-type personality. She loves to laugh and to make other people laugh. Doki enjoys messing with people, and is more likely to taunt others rather than brag about herself.

She is especially well-known for her high skill level in Apex Legends and Overwatch. She has a strong love for gaming in general, especially shooters and retro games.

While she often comes off as loud and chaotic, Doki also has a cute, wholesome side that becomes especially noticeable when drawing or making bentos, and has gained a reputation for "gap moe." She's very hardworking and often goes to great lengths to support her fellow VTubers.

Appearance

She has long blonde pigtails with a blue flat cap with a white ribbon on one side and a black ribbon on the other with green eyes.

History

Background

Dokibird was encouraged to start streaming by Overwatch streamers, who felt she had a naturally entertaining personality over the game's voice chat.[4]

Her Twitch account was originally created on 20 September 2016. Her earliest known Twitch stream was 9 January 2017. Prior to becoming a VTuber, she mainly streamed Overwatch and drawing. By 2019, more than half of her stream hours were art.

Dokibird debuted as a VTuber on 4 May 2020. The stream took place on Twitch, and reached a peak of 39 viewers.

2020

On 11 October, Dokibird reached 5,000 followers on Twitch.

2021

On 16 April Dokibird held a lore reveal/redebut stream. In the same stream, she announced that she would be graduating on 14 May.

On 29 April, Dokibird gained 36,542 followers in a single stream. However, this figure was unlikely to be authentic, since the stream had a viewer peak of only 92. The fake followers were subsequently removed by 6 May.

Graduation

On 14 May, Dokibird held a graduation stream on Twitch, titled "The !Final Heist," which reached 298 viewers at peak. The VOD was subsequently uploaded to YouTube a few days later.
