PinkyDoll: The Rise of the TikTok NPC Influencer
Social media is often filled with peculiar phrases and strange trends, but one recent phenomenon has captured the attention of millions. The rise of the NPC (non-playable character) influencers on TikTok has taken the platform by storm, and one creator in particular, PinkyDoll, has managed to turn this bizarre performance into a lucrative career.
For those not familiar with gaming terminology, NPCs refer to the background characters in video games who are not controlled by players and have pre-determined dialogue. However, on TikTok, these human NPCs are controlled by viewers who pay real money to send them gifts and watch them perform specific gestures and phrases.
PinkyDoll, also known as Fedha Sinon, is a 27-year-old woman from Montreal who has become an internet celebrity through her NPC persona. Her journey to success on TikTok started after her cleaning company folded, and she was left with no job and the need to provide for her child. Determined to make money, she decided to put all her effort into TikTok. Little did she know that it would become her ticket to financial stability.
Sinon streams for six hours a day, seven days a week, responding to digital gifts sent by fans in the form of cartoon items like roses and dinosaurs. These gifts can be converted into cash, with each gift on her screen translating to a few cents or dollars. Initially, she was making around $250 a day, but her popularity skyrocketed, and now she earns between $2,000 and $3,000 per stream, cashing in a whopping $7,000 a day across OnlyFans, Instagram, and TikTok combined.
Her rise to fame on TikTok went viral on Twitter, catching the attention of notable figures like hit producer Timbaland and even Elon Musk himself. With almost 820,000 followers, Sinon has become an internet sensation and is well on her way to achieving her dreams of breaking into Hollywood.

But why are people paying real money to watch TikTok influencers pretend to be NPCs? It seems that the appeal is rooted in various factors. Some experts believe that viewers may take pleasure in commanding women and appreciate the aesthetics of gamer culture, reminiscent of the popular porn category based on comic-like Manga women. However, creators like Cherry Crush argue against any sexual undertones in their content. They believe fans are more interested in seeing their reactions or if they will break character under the weight of excessive gifts.
Regardless of the motivations behind this trend, PinkyDoll remains focused on her financial success and aspirations in Hollywood. She brushes off concerns about the sexual or strange nature of her content and embraces the fact that she is winning in her chosen career path. As she told the New York Times, “I don’t really care what people say about me. If they want to think I am this or that, it’s fine with me. At the end of the day, I’m winning.”
In an era where social media influencers come in all shapes and forms, PinkyDoll’s rise to prominence as a TikTok NPC influencer is a testament to the ever-changing landscape of online content creation. The power of platforms like TikTok to turn ordinary individuals into celebrities is evident, leaving us to wonder what strange and unique trends will captivate the internet next.
