Raspberry Crème

Dina Naddy (born: February 3, 1998 [age 23]), also known as Raspberry Crème (sometimes nicknamed Raspberry or Berry), is a Jordanian university graduate who studied at the United States with an art degree. She is a well known YouTuber who made videos using My Little Pony toys, at 2K subscribers. She was later known as a Pretty Cure fan on Twitter, however, she switched to multi fandom as of January 1, 2022.

Appearance
Dina has long dark brown hair that reaches below her chest, pale skin covered with very tiny moles and hazel eyes. As an idol online, her hair ends with a pink ombré and tied into a small ponytail, with her moles being absent and she likes to wear a small pink bow on her head, which turns out to be yellow as an idol.

Her main persona is Dina Nakamura, who is featured in Dream ☆ Team. However, she once had an alternative version of herself, Dina Harune in Project Radiance before the project was discontinued,

Personality
Most of the time, Dina is a happy-go-lucky girl who can also be shy, yet hardworking and responsible girl. Though when others get to know her better, that is when she shows her spirit of happiness more often, and grows attached to her friends, depending on how long she has been with them. She hates it whenever she gets interrupted or has to repeat herself. Dina is creative when it comes to art, singing or theater, and she is passionate about her interests.

She can also be pretty calm, but at the same time, she can easily get in a mood for enjoying the things she likes or gets excited about. Sometimes she has a problem speaking up, or she would be afraid to ask for help. But with some encouragement from her friends, she is willing to keep staying strong. Dina can also be easily flustered when someone compliments her, and she can sometimes be emotional easily too. Whenever she feels something is wrong, she would have some doubts, but when she talks to someone, she would feel better about it.

Facebook
Starting in December 2012, Dina opened an artwork fanclub page when she was only 14 years old. Her page was relatively small back then, and she worked with someone else she prefers to keep unidentified. She enjoyed posting drawings and comics that are meant for a younger audience, some were requested by one of her fans. This eventually lead to her very first series, Adventures with Emily & Steve exclusive on Facebook. The comic series itself ran from March 2015 to December 2016.

YouTube
On March 16, 2014, at the age of 16, Dina began her YouTube account. After being inspired by other YouTubers online who make videos using My Little Pony toys, she decided to create some videos herself, and the videos were credited under her real name. Her most popular video on YouTube was Who Is The Best Princess?, that was published on November 10, 2014. Later on in 2015 after a few more skits, she moved on to making some series using her toys, which included one of the most successful series, ☆ MLP: Toxic ☆, which was based on Sunset Shimmer trying to stop a war in a more peaceful way rather than fighting. Her videos also include some comedy skits and song covers from different artists (including some Aikatsu songs, which she is currently focusing on). Dina likes to create child-friendly content to entertain younger viewers, and whenever she has to make something for teenagers, she always knows when to make a warning sign.

Earlier on as she moved on to making Aikatsu song covers, she still makes pony videos, but less often. According to her recent video series Pony Story Time, the reason behind this is because she is annoyed by YouTube's algorithms that cause her to lose subscribers. She is self-conscious about it, but she cares more about having fun making her videos and it doesn't stop her from continuing.

She has now been on YouTube for five years, and went on hiatus after Ponies in Quarantine was released in 2020. Now she is focusing on helping others in a team of writers and new artwork while she is on another channel under her pen name with Pretty Cure fandubs.

As of September 1, 2020, Dina has decided to give herself a fresh start on YouTube and is currently doing anime and My Little Pony fandubs on a new channel that goes under her pen name. She currently has 96 subscribers, but she is much happier as she is refreshing her content. She made an official announcement in the description of her final video, which is the cover of The Magic of Friendship Grows in honor for the 10th anniversary of My Little Pony.

Voice Acting
In December 2016 as Dina was beginning her first years at college, she hosted a PriPara Chorus with song covers in English, singing as Laala Manaka, Nao Ehime and Junon. The chorus ended in December 2017, which was later succeeded by the Pri☆Chan Chorus as of May 2018, where Dina sang as Mel Shido. Dina also takes an opportunity to be a voice actress in other projects for different characters.

On her personal channel, Dina focuses on different fandubs such as song covers from Aikatsu!, transformation scenes from Pretty Cure, and others.

Voice acting and singing roles in original projects she participates in:

 * Pertaleme – Calcium and Xenon
 * Colors of Radiance – Dina Harune
 * Aikatsu Crescent! – Tsubaki Shimura and Emi Yukiyuma
 * Mahou Shoujo RPG – Dina Harune / Sparkle

TikTok and Instagram
Since May 23, 2020, Dina has opened a TikTok profile for her artwork, where she posts videos about drawing cartoons and doing water color paintings. As of December, she is currently working on a Christmas Challenge where she records a daily routine of crafts she is working on. She currently has over 150 followers, and did a mini face reveal in one of her videos.

On September 1, she opened an Instagram account where she does the same thing, that posting her artwork. One of her most popular pieces is a cartoon she made for Ajnabiyeh, a user known for entertaining Jordanian audiences, as she went to high school with her at one point and were close friends. As of November 26th, she has hit 100+ followers, and announced that she is working on Cutie Pets, a new comic strip. Right now she has over 200 followers.

Twitter
At one point, Dina had a Twitter account from December 2018 to February 2021. She hit 457 followers and hosted an art raffle before she left. No one knows why she joined in the first place, but her reasoning for her leaving the platform was because she wanted to avoid toxicity online as much as possible. However, she returned on March 2021, saying that she did a lot better during her hiatus and was ready to share content again.

From March to December of 2021, Dina was an active user on Twitter since she mostly focused Pretty Cure, and in some cases she shares her love for other anime. She also mentions My Little Pony from time to time. She also shares her artwork there, and now she has 894 followers. According to Raspberry herself, her most favorite Pretty Cure season is Healin' Good, as it helped her through the darkest moments during the coronavirus pandemic. This explains why she has three fanfictions on the same season.

As of December 31, 2021, Dina announced that she decided to permanently switch accounts as she wants to focus on balancing her interests so she can expand her knowledge. According to her, she felt much happier and more at peace with the restart at first. However, since January 13, 2022, she decided to become semi-active so she could focus on her mental health, as she stated that she dealt with drama in the past and wants to move on.
