LilyPichu (real name: Lily Ki, born November 20, 1991) is a gaming YouTuber and Twitch streamer that plays a variety of games with friends, including League of Legends and Minecraft.
Her videos include highlights of her streams, covers of songs, and shortened lore explanations for various series (including League of Legends, Overwatch, and several anime).

Tropes Associated with LilyPichu
- A-Cup Angst: Lily herself doesn't seem to care, but Jummychu invokes it by making a lot of jokes about Lily's chest size on Twitter at her expense. They've occasionally popped up in some videos as well.
- Alternative Character Interpretation: Invoked in her tl;dr lores. Teemo's growing insanity from seclusion is relatively downplayed, but Lily believes that he's a full-blown psychopathic killer "but everyone loves him because he's a cute fluffy hamster with lots and lots of skins!" She also believes said skins were obtained from killing a bunny and panda.
- Badass Adorable: Not to say she doesn't have her days of losing, but she's both really adorable and a very competent League player. Additionally, many of her favorite champions tend to be fit this trope, like Annie, Lux, or even Teemo.
- Battle Couple: Subverted with HotshotGG. Even while they were dating and well-established LoL players, their synergy was hilariously off.Lily: When you make that soil ground, you should say this "Phhllrk!"Natsumii: Eeeeww!! That sounded like I just took a poo!
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: In the "Ludwig sues Offline TV" clip we see Michael Reeves accused of defacing a painting of a nude Disguised Toast (painted by Scarra) with a knife and using his "beer-pissing Robodog" to urinate beer on it. However, we reveal Lily was jealous of that painting undermining her claim to be "The artist of Offline TV" and in flashback we see her with the knife and Robodog's controls with Evil Laughter, and she breaks on the witness stand, and is arrested for her heinous crime.
- Butt-Monkey: In many of her plays, someone is going to be the butt end of jokes or misfortunes, be it Natsumiii, Jummy, or even Lily herself.
- The Cameo: Sometimes, if her channel requires some manly-man voice acting, she called in StephanosRex. Likewise, Lily sometimes gets called to do voice acting on cute characters (see above on Badass Adorable) in other projects.
- Comedic Sociopathy: Her attempts at animation with Flash features Lily animating her characters and then abusing the hell out of them for laughs.
- Cluster F-Bomb: Contrary to what you'd expect upon first hearing her, Lily's been known to curse quite a lot in her videos, but mostly to friends.
- Cute and Psycho: Of course, Lily in real life is quite a Nice Girl, but she occasionally and disturbingly likes to portray her internet self as this trope for laughs.
- Double Entendre: Made this glorious example in this video:Lily: Good job! Isn't it helping you? Don't you feel the mental support?Natsumii: I feel mentally... stimulated. *laughs*
- Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: Played for laughs. In her Minecraft Hardcore Let’s Play stream with her boyfriend and destroyer of worlds Michael Reeves, he decides, to as a prank, encase her in dirt. When she gets back, she finds out and is (somewhat understandably) pissed, and starts jokingly hitting Michael and starts laughing. Then, when Michael starts jokingly hitting her back, she suddenly gets all scared and defensive, even quipping “No, not domestic abuse in Minecraft!”
- Fake Brit: Invoked during the "Wendell" video with Natsumii, where the two go off on a weird tangent badly imitating British accents, with Lily imitating her stern mother.
- Of course, she does occasionally get Trolled back. Earlier, when she took requests on her tl;dr videos, she instead got flooded with requests for Urgot, so she did release them, but starts the video with the resignation sigh and the message "I hate all of you. T_T", and the "Senpai Ahri" video is just a montage of her being trolled by both Jummy and RobertXLee.
- In this video, despite Anklespankin offering him a free trip to PAX if they win the game (which he was apparently serious about), Sykkuno becomes one, intentionally getting killed and misleading teammates in an effort to sabotage the game. At one point Lily calls him out on this, to which he blames it on stress... and immediately attempts to get killed again.
- Gamer Chick: She's mainly popular for her League of Legends videos, but she also occasionally dabbles in others, including Overwatch, Starbound, Undertale, and Dark Souls III.
- Heterosexual Life-Partner: Most famously with fellow Gamer Chick, Natsumii/Sweetiebutt. If men are to be included, Jummychu.
- Incredibly Lame Pun: If opportunity presents itself, Lily won't miss out making awful puns with her friends.
- Nice Girl: She's really personable and kind to everyone. But if she decides that she'll get naughty...
- No Name Given: Or at least No Real Name Confirmed. While she and her friends all refer to her as "Lily", it's never been made clear if it's just shorthand for her title or her actual real-life name, which hasn't been completely confirmed most likely due to her shyness in real life. In only her Facebook, she's listed as Lily Ki.
- Oh Crap Hand Wave: During Nasus tries voice-acting, Annie and Amumu are laughing at Nasus' attempt to read Annie's lines. Then Nasus looks at them, Amumu runs off, and Annie... waves her hand and says "Hi!". Didn't save them from a major ass-whuppin' courtesy of Nasus. "Beaten by a little puppy. Woof woof."
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Happens in her playthrough of It Takes Two with Michael Reeves. While Michael is far from a stranger to Black Comedy and had been cracking jokes throughout the playthrough, he's notably shocked into silence during Cutie the Elephant's brutal death scene.
- Pink Means Feminine: Lily's channel is very frilly pink, and she usually draws herself as a pink-haired girl.
- Running Gag:
- Whenever it's clear a friend (usually Jummychu) is about to get obviously curb-stomped, Lily usually pipes in with something along the lines of "If you make this out alive, you will be so sexy/attractive!" It's gotten to the point where she's had to stop herself a few times before they actually do.
- Lily's repeated failures in getting her friends to give her the blue buff, either by having it being stolen by another friend, or the jungler promising to give it to her then swiping it at the last second, or even rarer, simply by pure accident. Generally, if she actually manages to get it, she probably would've had to really work for it.
- Ship Tease: Often likes to invoke this with a good mixing of
Les Yay by only teasing other girls. It's especially noticeable in videos with her and Natsumii, right down to the thumbnails.◊ - Shout-Out: She tends to make some to anime series when she played her games. Also, her name is combining the name Lily and the same-named Pokémon.
- Shrinking Violet: Lily mentioned in her "Draw My Life" video how from an early age she was mostly soft-spoken and kept to herself, but she's been trying to come out of her shell more to subvert this. This is reflected in her videos, where over time she's become a lot more comfortable with her friends and showing her face on camera.
- Verbal Tic:
- If she's doing something about Lulu, then Lily tends to insert snorts in the majority of things she says.
- She has a habit of shouting a quick "Hiya!" while using abilities, mainly while firing projectiles such as with Lux, Lulu, and others.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: She and Jummychu cuss at each other, try to one up each other, and yell praises when the other dies in League but they only do that because they know they're BFFs in life. RobertXLee is also her newest VBB.
- Woman of a Thousand Voices: Her voice is surprisingly very flexible. While her normal speaking voice is pretty high-pitched, she's also capable of going quite deep as well as going even higher. Case in point for the former, she voiced Sejuani
of all champions in this Falconshield video. Lily aspires to be a voice actress one day, so she could definitely use this as an edge of hers.
