Personal Life[]
Wolfychu was born on March 20, 1995, in Woking, Surrey in England. She is of Irish descent and lived in the United Kingdom for six years with her parents, and two older brothers. She was a quiet kid, and enthusiastic about animals, especially cats, and drawing. She had a best friend living just a few houses away, so they should see together every day. In a short amount of time, she and her parents were going to travel to Spain.
Once traveled, she has started to go to the new school all by herself. She expected to see her best friend come through the door at any moment like she used to. Despite that, she got used to living in Spain pretty quickly. The street she lived on was full of stray cats. She used to give every single cat a name and even got to keep them as pets as well. She also tried acting like a cat, which has been mentioned in one of her videos. Learning Spanish turned out to be easy for her since she was pretty young, and she enjoyed her time in primary school. She had many friends and had fun every day.
Later in years, she started high school, and things changed for her. Her two best friends started hanging out with another girls and seeing less than before. She didn't have many friends in high school, so she ended up staying by herself for almost two years. Until she ended up sitting next to two of her old primary school friends in class and starting to become friends again. She started to talk with another girl too, and three of them becoming best friends with Wolfychu. She thought high school is great for her until the people had to decide what career path they wanted to take, including Wolfychu. She had no idea what she wanted to be rather than be an artist and led to believe that she could never make a career out of it, so she felt that she had to choose something else than art. Her friends all moved away for university, then Wolfychu was left behind by herself.
With no choice or ideas to what kind of career she wanted, she started work as a teacher's assistant in a primary school. As she remembers, although she enjoyed the job she felt that it wasn't the right path for her to take. She later quit the job.
She started to draw the pictures for people on the internet, either for friends or a fan of her. With the great reception, she started getting into drawing, and got herself a small drawing tablet, and started to draw digitally.
Her life started to change in 2013 when she started to talk to an Australian YouTuber and later boyfriend, Jordan Sweeto for a few years. They both started talking to each other on Skype every day. For a few months, she traveled out to Australia to meet Jordan in person, and spent time together there. For a few days, Jordan asked Wolfychu to be his girlfriend. Jordan Sweeto later discovered the animation community on YouTube and encouraged her to start animating and making videos. She created her channel on November 6, 2016, and ultimately creating animation memes together with him, but later shifted to create storytime animations, and original animations/animatics.
Soon, Jordan and Wolfychu adopted a female dog named Mochi.
