Profile Details
Valkyrae is the online name of Rachell Marie Hofstetter, an American livestreamer, YouTuber and podcaster born on January 8, 1992. She grew up in Moses Lake, Washington, and began streaming on Twitch in 2015. Fortnite helped expand her audience in 2018, the year she joined 100 Thieves as the organization’s first female content creator.
Her career includes both Twitch and YouTube broadcasting. After moving to YouTube under an exclusive agreement in 2020, she returned to Twitch in January 2025. At the time of this review, her official channel descriptions explicitly say she streams on both platforms. Her work also includes founding Hihi Studios and becoming a co-owner of 100 Thieves. Among Us was an important part of her growth in 2020, when she won Content Creator of the Year at The Game Awards.
