The Mexican content creator has been a big sensation on Twitch for the last year. She plays various games like Minecraft, Valorant, and The Sims 4, and roleplays from time to time in GTA V. She and her husband, JuanSguarnizo, are a power-couple worth checking out.
As a fun fact, she participated in ‘La Velada del año 2’ in 2022, fighting in a boxing match against Paracetamor. If this doesn’t give you an idea of the variety of content she can make, I don’t know what will.

She was already somewhat popular on other social media like Instagram, but it was not until 2020 that she began to appear in AuronPlay’s streams (her partner of years at the time). By the end of the year, she decided to create her own Twitch channel.She likes to keep a low profile and not attract too much attention, but she doesn’t keep quiet when she has something to say. She is sincere and blunt and, above all, a defender of her own.
