Shauntelle Kikue (born April 25, 1993), better known as MasaeAnela or Masae for short, is an American Let's Player, Twitch streamer, and a recurring guest member and co-producer of TheRunawayGuys. She's known for her quirky commentary and cute demeanour, and is also a talented artist, and does most, if not all, of the art on her channel and videos herself. She has also posted videos of fanart from a variety of video game series, including *Undertale* and *DanganRonpa*, and artwork for her and her friends' Let's Plays. Masae's YouTube profile picture changes depending on what game she is playing.

Masae started her channel in 2009, after seeing NintendoCapriSun's videos. She has made Let's Plays on various video games, the majority of which have been released on Nintendo platforms, including titles from the *Mario*, *The Legend of Zelda*, *Pikmin*, and *Kirby* video game franchises. In her videos, Masae has an upbeat commentary style. She also has incredible determination when playing video games, as demonstrated by her 13-hour *Undertale* stream or how she spent 15 hours attempting to complete a sidequest in *The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild*. In addition to her own content, Masae has occasionally appeared alongside other LPers, like Chuggaaconroy and Stephen Georg. She is also one of the Let's Players featured in the Phenomena-Fanclub's film of who they wanted to be an extra or to be the character Millian.

Masae also regularly streams games on Twitch, currently rotating between *Stardew Valley*, *The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim*, *Celeste*, *VVVVVV*, *Monster Hunter: World*, *A Hat in Time*, *Rimworld* and playing *Splatoon*, with viewers. She started practicing speedrunning *Super Mario 64* by beating the game with 16 stars. Streams with story are usually uploaded to her stream playlist. As of March 2022, Masae runs a secondary channel called Couple's Couch, where she uploads Twitch VODs of her playing co-op games with her boyfriend, BrettUltimus.

### Let's Plays

Masae started her channel and uploaded her first video on October 17, 2009. She decided to make Let's Plays after seeing NintendoCapriSun's videos, largely to overcome her social anxiety concerning people and talking. Her first Let's Play was The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, recorded with a camcorder pointed at her television. Since then, she has completed 21 Let's Plays, mostly of Nintendo games with the exception of the Katamari and Tales of games.

### Let's Draws

The first drawing Masae uploaded was of Link on November 27, 2009. Since then, she has posted videos of fanart from a variety of video game series, including Undertale and DanganRonpa, and artwork for her and her friends' Let's Plays.

### Other Appearances

Masae was a guest for several tournaments hosted by TheRunawayGuys and for their Fortune Street series. She also appeared as a fourth player in their Super Mario 3D World Let's Play. She also appeared on Chuggaaconroy's solo channel.

Masae can also be seen periodically on StephenVlog and BreakingNCS, and in Tom Fawkes's vlogs.

## Streams

Masae first stream was on Ustream in 20XX. Since then, she has gradually done more streaming on Twitch. After a hiatus, she began to stream more consistently in 2015, resuming her streams of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and VVVVVV, in addition to starting Undertale, Splatoon, and Stardew Valley streams in 2016. In October 2016, she became a Twitch Partner.
