Ironmouse is making headlines once again after her singing in a pitch-perfect clip went viral. The female VTuber from Puerto Rico and has been streaming actively on Twitch since 2017.

Primarily known for her vibrant personality, she started off as an independent VTuber but is now a part of the VShojo agency. She also goes by the nicknames of Mousey, Satanas, and Gremlin.


What happened to Ironmouse?

Ironmouse took to becoming a VTuber because of Common Variable Immune Deficiency (CVID), a rare disorder and disease which directly attacks the immune system. Due to this condition, she is bedridden and on oxygen support 24/7.

Before she was diagnosed with CVID, she had trained to become an opera house singer. To make a long story short, she doesn't have a "normal" voice owing to a mix of MAC lung disease and a childhood virus (exacerbated by her more serious sickness) that rendered her speechless for a year.

While her "natural" voice has always been high, the voice she uses now is a bit higher, but it doesn't harm her nearly as much. She has to work hard to maintain her opera voice, which is why she only does it once or twice during a singing stream. She was training to be an opera singer before her sickness took over her life, so her range was quite astounding.

There are a few videos of hers where she is performing the opera piece Ave Maria.
