CottontailVA is a Vtuber, Voice Actress, ASMRtist, and Singer best known for her charisma, quick wit, and bunny girl persona.

Based in Canada, she started her content creation journey as a voice actress. Stuffed into a cramped closet and recording on a cheap microphone, she took on countless roles for indie games, animated series, and audiobooks. It wasn’t long before her playful, flirty nature, and knack for engaging audiences led her to expand her brand into streaming on Twitch.

Inspired by her love of video games, anime, and cosplay, CottontailVA embraced her bunny girl character, blending her passions with an online persona. Her signature coloured bunny ears, charming flirtation, and clever banter have earned her a loyal following of “Fluffers” that continues to grow with every new project, whether it be SFW or on the more lewd side.

CottontailVA is a passionate advocate for inclusivity in the online space (so long as they are 18+, due to the nature of her content). She strives to empower the individual with motivating speeches on self love, confidence, and inspiring others to get out of their comfort zone. Her community is a reflection of this, and many members have found lasting friendships within the Fluffer community of like-minded individuals.

Whether she’s voicing a character, sharing her latest cosplay, or just being her playful self, CottontailVA continues to enchant her audience with her wit, charm, and undeniable talent.
