## Personality

Most of the time, Dina is a happy-go-lucky girl who can also be shy, yet hardworking and responsible girl. Though when others get to know her better, that is when she shows her spirit of happiness more often, and grows attached to her friends, depending on how long she has been with them. She hates it whenever she gets interrupted or has to repeat herself. Dina is creative when it comes to art, singing or theater, and she is passionate about her interests.

She can also be pretty calm, but at the same time, she can easily get in a mood for enjoying the things she likes or gets excited about.

## History

### Facebook

Starting in December 2012, Dina opened an artwork fanclub page when she was only 14 years old. Her page was relatively small back then, and she worked with someone else she prefers to keep unidentified. She enjoyed posting drawings and comics that are meant for a younger audience, some were requested by one of her fans. This eventually lead to her very first series, *Adventures with Emily & Steve* exclusive on Facebook. The comic series itself ran from March 2015 to December 2016.

### YouTube

On March 16, 2014, at the age of 16, Dina began her YouTube account. After being inspired by other YouTubers online who make videos using My Little Pony toys, she decided to create some videos herself, and the videos were credited under her real name. Her most popular video on YouTube was *Who Is The Best Princess?*, that was published on November 10, 2014. Later on in 2015 after a few more skits, she moved on to making some series using her toys, which included one of the most successful series, *☆ MLP: Toxic ☆*, which was based on Sunset Shimmer trying to stop a war in a more peaceful way rather than fighting. Her videos also include some comedy skits and song covers from different artists (including some *Aikatsu* songs, which she is currently focusing on). Dina likes to create child-friendly content to entertain younger viewers, and whenever she has to make something for teenagers, she always knows when to make a warning sign.

Earlier on as she moved on to making *Aikatsu* song covers, she still makes pony videos, but less often. According to her recent video series *Pony Story Time*, the reason behind this is because she is annoyed by YouTube's algorithms that cause her to lose subscribers. She is self-conscious about it, but she cares more about having fun making her videos and it doesn't stop her from continuing.

She has now been on YouTube for five years, and went on hiatus after *Ponies in Quarantine* was released in 2020. Now she is focusing on helping others in a team of writers and new artwork while she is on another channel under her pen name with Pretty Cure fandubs.

She currently has 147 subscribers, but she is much happier as she is refreshing her content. She made an official announcement in the description of her final video, which is the cover of *The Magic of Friendship Grows* in honor for the 10th anniversary of *My Little Pony*.
