Who is Granny? Meet Twitch's latest character streamer

Granny is the latest character streamer to make a splash on Twitch. As entertainers, all streamers offer a certain appeal to their respective audiences. In Granny’s case, it’s a persona. With her poofy white hair, retro outfits (which are surprisingly well-styled) and huge glasses, Granny adopts the masquerade of a hip grandma. Her exaggerated Scottish accent also evokes the image of Mrs. Doubtfire, the drag queen governess played by the late Robin Williams. Her camera quality is intentionally grainy to mimic the footage of an old VHS tape. She can seamlessly shift between being supportive and ornery. Sometimes, Granny has been so shocked that she’s nearly broken character. Her bigger-than-life personality, good-natured trolling and matronly encouragement (“Yer doing so well!”) have garnered Granny a devoted audience on Twitch
