Daphne developed an interest in digital art at the age of 10, focusing on drawing characters from the online video game MapleStory.
As a teenager, she was also fascinated by the idea of making money through video streaming; her parents didn’t share her sentiments, and Daphne’s father once told her, ‘you can never amount to anything just sitting on the computer all day.’
She matriculated from a high school in her hometown, and went on to attend a Canadian university. If Daphne wasn’t a streamer and artist, she’d study marine biology.
