Nihachu

Nikita Sembowski (born November 3, 2001), better known online as Niki Nihachu or simply Nihachu, is a German YouTuber and Twitch streamer. She is best known for her gaming content, vlogs, and "Just Chatting" livestreams, as well as her inclusion in the Dream SMP. Nikita Sembowski was born in Germany on 3 November 2001. She often moved around, mostly due to her mother getting new partners. Nihachu has lived in seven countries, including Germany, Spain, Austria, England, Sweden, Switzerland, and the US, and speaks three languages: German, Spanish, and English. She has said that moving a lot has helped her, as she is no longer affected by culture shock. She was kidnapped at six years old by her mother's ex-husband, and remained kidnapped for three years before being rescued by her mother and her mother's new boyfriend. Nihachu described her childhood as "never [having] much stability", with her mother becoming an alcoholic, leading to Nihachu having a "very hostile" home life. She moved out of her home in Switzerland at 17, moving to Berlin, Germany, where she returned to school. After finishing school, Nihachu decided she wouldn't attend university to study medicine, and would instead become a full-time content creator. In an interview with Anthony Padilla, Nihachu described herself as both bisexual and pansexual. She has eisoptrophobia (a phobia of mirrors) due to a video she was shown as a child. She suffers from sleep paralysis, and wakes up easily. She has dealt with eating disorders and body dysmorphia. She has described herself as "a very insecure person", and had abandonment issues with friends. In school she "wanted to be a scene kid", and was bullied for her "broken, and dry, and frizzy" hair. She has dealt with stalkers, and was once followed home by a fan. She has expressed interest in becoming a psychiatrist for content creators. Nihachu began streaming at age 17, whilst still living with her mother and her mother's boyfriend in Switzerland. She began streaming after having operations on her legs, rendering her unable to walk for around a year.
