QTCinderella Biography
Early Life
Growing up in a Mormon household that often struggled financially, Cinderella got bullied in high school after her break up with a toxic boyfriend. She went afterwards to culinary school and worked as a wedding cake designer, then as an interior designer. Losing her mother at just 20 years old, she missed the Christmas celebrations she used to have with her entire family. Feeling alone, in 2018, she played League of Legends after work for 5 hours every night. She started streaming her games shortly after. And although she had been stuck at 20 views, thinking many times to quit. The stream gave her people to talk to, and she felt happy for the moments she could share.
Twitch
In 2021, Cinderella organized ShitCamp in Los Angeles, California, featuring Hasan Piker, Sodapoppin, xQc, and Ludwig, among many others. The livestream included a scavenger hunt, a cooking competition, a kickball tournament, and a pajama party. In November of the same year, she started the Wine About It podcast with her friend Maya Higa. In 2022, she co-hosted the Streamer Awards. The event received 381,000 concurrent views. Shortly after, she hosted another show, Twitch Rivals, where she ran a baking competition featuring Hasan Piker, Myth, Cyr, and Rich Campbell. She organized and hosted the Streamer Awards for the second time in 2023. And this time, the ceremony peaked at 580,000 concurrent viewers. In 2024, she hosted the third edition of Streamer Awards with Pokimane and featured the “Sapphire Award” to acknowledge the efforts of female streamers.
Personal Life
Cinderella is a huge fan of Taylor Swift’s music. She also likes to work and feel useful, recalling that she always worked 60 hours a week rather than the usual 40 because it made her feel more confident. She never intended to date a streamer, knowing beforehand that it would lead to dismissing her success as just a byproduct of the person she was dating. But she began dating Ludwig Ahgren in 2020 because she liked him and found him charismatic and honest.
The Dark Side of Streaming
Clicking the space bar to turn her computer on, Cinderella noticed a laser on her hand. Thinking it’s just a cat laser, she ignored it at first. She turned around to check. The laser was on her stomach. She looked out the window, and it’s all loaded guns. She woke everyone up and opened the door. She tried to reason with the swatters that it’s just a prank. The swatters ordered everyone to get outside and threatened to shoot to see if they’d get a hostile reaction. By the time slime woke up to see what’s going on, he got tackled with a gun to his head. Everyone felt terrified. And it happened again, on Ludwig’s sabathon, in the same way. The terrifying experience has affected Cinderella’s mental health. She couldn’t sleep, thinking that she’d get swatted at any time, every night. And what infuriates her, is that all of this happened, because someone on the internet, thought it was funny.
