SSSniperWolf

Alia "Lia" Shelesh, better known online as SSSniperWolf (also known as Little Lia, formerly sexysexysniper), is an English-born American YouTube personality known for her commentaries, DIYs, vlogs, reactions, and gaming content. She is an enormously popular YouTuber who has specialized in Call of Duty gameplay videos as well as reaction videos, anime, and video game character cosplays.

She was born in England, but her family moved to Phoenix, Arizona in the United States when she was 6 years old. Her username, SSSniperWolf, comes from Sniper Wolf, is one of the main antagonists and bosses of Metal Gear Solid. Alia claims that the 'SS' in her name does not mean anything.

Alia originally started her YouTube career in early-2011 on a channel called sexysexysniper making short vlogs. The channel accumulated 50,000 subscribers until 2 years later however when she made a new channel on January 19, 2013, and deleted the old one around mid-2013 most likely due to the name. Since 2017, the majority of the videos that she uploads are reactions and TikTok videos, along with occasional gaming and challenges.

She is of Greek, Turkish, and possible Iraqi descent.

Kid's Choice Awards
On March 23, 2019 and May 2, 2020, Alia won the Nickelodeon's Kid's Choice Awards for Favorite Gamer. This was met with a lot of backlash from many people on the internet who stated that she was not a true gamer, due to the majority of her content being reaction-based as of 2019. Other people began believing that the KCA's were rigged and completely biased considering the other people nominated for Favorite Gamer, such as Markiplier, Jacksepticeye and Ninja, who have more gaming based content. Several users then began to put offensive inputs and theories on why she won, with one being that she only won because she bribed the judges with her sex appeal, which was not true.
