HatoHeart

**HatoHeart "Hato"** (real name Emily LaPerch) is a moderator for Awesomnessticity.

She is known for her art skills, musical abilities, love of boy bands, and (formerly) ranting about her job.

## Stream Presence

Hato has been a regular viewer since December 2017, at 18 (almost 19) years old. She quickly established her art skills and became fast friends with many of the other regulars on stream. Whenever she renews her subscription, she regularly emphasizes how being part of Tee-Jay's community helped pull her out of the darkest time of her life (suffering from depression and OCD while in her second year of college).

She gained VIP status when Twitch first released it in August 2018. She was then promoted to a moderator in December 2018, after only about a year of regular presence.

In the early days, she was primarily known for joking about "Hato nudes". In the current day, she is still known for her art skills and ability to dominate most of the Jackbox games.

### "The Harem"

Around mid-2018, Hato, MadQueenOfHearts, and former regular Luthiaaesc were known as "Adam's Harem", or just "The Harem", due to being the three stream regulars that garnered most of his attention. With Luthia's dwindling presence on stream, plus Hato getting a boyfriend in September 2019, the Harem is basically disbanded at this point in time.

## Family

Her family members can occasionally be heard in the background on voice chat.

Her known family members are her mother, her father, her younger brother AJ, and her younger sister Allie. Her family also has a dog named Hank.

She has also mentioned her “crazy Catholic aunt” multiple times. Not much is known about her except that she is a very devout Catholic and is her dad’s sister.

She also mentions an “Uncle Steve” from time to time, who died in 2018. Uncle Steve is not real. He was made up when Hato wanted to leave a college event early.
