Jaiden

Personality:

She openly talks about anxiety, discomfort in social situations, and overthinking interactions. That vulnerability became a big part of why viewers connected with her. Instead of loud or hyperactive comedy, her humor is usually deadpan, self-deprecating, sarcastic, or based on exaggerated storytelling. Her animation style and storytelling tend to turn ordinary experiences into dramatic or absurd adventures. Fans often describe her as genuine, considerate, and emotionally honest, especially when talking about mental health or identity topics. Pokémon, games, birds, Hatsune Miku, speedrunning, animation, and internet culture are recurring interests that she gets deeply invested in. She usually avoids being overly dramatic or “performative,” which makes emotional moments in her videos feel more authentic to viewers. She’s talked openly about being aromantic and asexual, ADHD, autism, anxiety, and eating disorders in a calm, analytical way rather than turning them into shock-value content.

Personal life:

Jaiden was born on September 27, 1997 in Arizona. After a brief "wild child" phase, she turned out to be a well-behaved girl. Jaiden's parents only grounded her once in her tween years, for playing outside in her pajamas whilst a sitter was watching the family. Long story short, the sitter let her get away with it; Jaiden's parents did not. Jaiden’s family would always visit Canada or South Lake Tahoe in California because she said that "her family doesn't like to live in a volcano". Jaiden later moved to Los Angeles, California in 2018, where she now lives with Alpharad.

Sports:

Jaiden played various sports growing up, including gymnastics. Her favorite is tennis, which she played in high school.

Education:

Not much is known about Jaiden's school years, but she briefly went to Arizona State University for animation. She dropped out of college in 2016 to pursue her YouTube career.

Relationships:

Although Jaiden has been on dates in multiple occasions in the past, most of her dating life is currently being kept private. Jaiden says that she finds it hard to like people romantically, and she does not consider herself "fully gay" or "fully straight". On March 20, 2022, in a video called Being Not Straight, Jaiden said that she is aromantic and asexual (or aro-ace).

Mental health issues:

Jaiden suffered from eating disorders while in college, mainly bulimia and anorexia, and she also suffered from anxiety and depression, as well as body dysmorphia and self-consciousness. She has now overcome them and has made a music video about her disorder with David Brown (aka Boyinaband) called Empty.

Vegan and Vegetarian:

Jaiden was a vegan for 8 years, but eventually turned to be a vegetarian instead since the pressure of being vegan was overwhelming and affecting her social life. She didn't want to tell people this because she knows how controversial that word can be. Her status as a vegetarian is likely due to how animals are treated in farms, but Jaiden mentioned that she is an animal lover.

Pets:

Jaiden has a pet bird named Ari. Ari was bought from a breeder in April 2016. During her COVID-19 charity stream on April 7, 2020, she revealed she got another pet, Tofu, whom she got in October 2019. On the first day of her subathon, it was revealed that she had a cat named Tostada, or rather Tostada revealed herself to the audience.

History:

Her career started when Jaiden sent a fanart to iHasCupquake, who Jaiden watched and liked at the time. The channel noticed her artwork, and she was offered to do an animation in the channel, and so, she started to make animations on iHasCupquake's channels. Jaiden first created her channel on February 16, 2014. The channel initially started out with short animations and speed art (though most speed art videos were likely later set to private), as well as piano videos. Jaiden later uploaded longer story-time animations, in a tight schedule of 2 weeks. She was an individual YouTuber, but later on in 2018, she built up a team of animators working for her, so she can chill out. In November 2019, she started to make videogame animations, starting with her first Nuzlocke video. The channel has mostly consisted of videogame animations since 2020.
