Aelita1234

Amanda, better known online as Aelita1234, is an American YouTuber that uploads a variety of videos, mainly animations using the software 'MikuMikuDance". Aside from creating MMD's, she enjoys creating art whether it is original works or fan-art for video games, TV shows, cartoons, anime and even other YouTubers. She also enjoys live-streaming, and being able to chat with users that come in to watch.
==History==
==YouTube Beginning==
In late 2006, Aelita had stumbled upon YouTube while looking for websites that had episodes of Invader Zim to watch. Not long after discovering the site, she created her account and would frequently use the site to watch all kinds of videos whenever she finished all her homework. 
It wasn't until around May 2008 that she had finally remembered to confirm her e-mail by making a new one as her old one would not work on YouTube. The first videos she ever posted were just slideshows showcasing artwork that she and her online friends at the time had created, along with tributes to anime she loved to watch.
Sadly as time had passed and YouTube's policies were updated, the videos were either taken down by Aelita herself or had gotten copyright strikes. Despite at one point being at two copyright strikes (Which if she had gotten a third one her account would have been terminated), her account was eventually cleared and safe to upload freely again. 
Moving on from slideshows, she would create simple sprite animation videos based off of videos that did sprite recreations of famous scenes from movies & TV shows, helping find her love for animating.
==Breakthrough with MikuMikuDance==
On June 25, 2009, Aelita was hanging at her home waiting to go back to her high school to perform at the graduation ceremony with the choir when she stumbled upon an animated music video of the Vocaloid song "Melody.exe", sung by the Vocaloid2 voicebank "Hatsune Miku". Shortly after, she began finding more and more Vocaloid related videos including various clips using the software "MikuMikuDance", in which not long after she decided to download the program herself and see what she could do with it. After days of self-teaching, Aelita began to upload videos using MMD.
Things started off slow but around September 2009 was when her channel began to be noticed by the community. After uploading the skit collection known as "The MMD Crazy Collection", the subscriber count began to soar. Before entering college, Aelita had around 2,000 subs, and by the time her senior year was nearly ending the channel had hit 10,000, completing her first goal on YouTube.
==Dive into Gaming, Streaming, Art==
Beginning in April 2017, Aelita made the decision to start streaming on her back up channel named Aelita PandaZ after watching a few streamers on Twitch. After a few months she then moved her streams over to Twitch, in which she currently does a variety of streams including:
*Multiplayer Wednesdays with viewers playing games such as Mario Kart 8 dx, Smash Ultimate and more.
*Game Clearing in which she tries to beat/complete a game she's never have done before.
Whenever not making MMDs or streaming Aelita can be found creating and posting art mainly on her twitter, and her works vary from original to fan-art. In 2019, she admitted that she wasn't as inspired to draw compared to years prior for at least a year beginning in Mid-2017. But after starting to watch ProtonJon's streams and seeing how active the artists are in his community, it helped revive her love for drawing. it was thanks to this that she helped co-create a dedicated art discord server known as "The Egg Pac".
Aelita is not planning on stopping even if she doesn't upload as often as she used to in her early YouTube days.
