Belle Delphine
Mary-Belle Kirschner (born 23 October 1999), better known online as Belle Delphine, is a South African-born English internet personality, model, and YouTuber. She is most notable for her glamour and cosplay modeling on Instagram. Her posts on the platform featured a risqué and self-proclaimed "weird" aesthetic, and were often influenced by popular Internet memes and trends. As a result of her online activity, she became an Internet meme in her own right.
In the summer of 2019, Kirschner registered a joke Pornhub account and began selling her "GamerGirl Bath Water" product through her online store, garnering her a great amount of media coverage online. Shortly after, her Instagram account was deleted due to community guideline violations. Media outlets have described Kirschner as a cross between an Internet troll and a performance artist, as well as an e-girl. Kirschner has also been cited as an influence on the e-girl aesthetic commonly adopted by TikTok users.
Kirschner was born on 23 October 1999 in South Africa, and eventually moved to the United Kingdom. Kirschner has had an Instagram account since 2015, and in July 2016, she registered a YouTube account. In August 2016, Kirschner uploaded a makeup tutorial video, demonstrating how to do a cat-eye.
In 2018, Kirschner began to regularly upload pictures of her modeling on Instagram, which had a distinct, self-proclaimed "weird elf kitty girl" aesthetic, and she used accessories such as pink wigs, thigh-high stockings, and cat ears. She also regularly produced cosplay-related content, which included characters such as Harley Quinn and D.Va. In March 2018, Kirschner launched a Patreon account, where supporters could pledge a monthly donation and receive access to self-described "lewd" photosets. At one point, her content garnered over 4,400 supporters on the website. Polygon noted that one follower spent $2,500 in exchange for a personal Skype conversation with Kirschner. In September, she uploaded a second YouTube video featuring her giving a tour of her pastel pink room, while wearing fake braces and thigh-high stockings. Rolling Stone noted that her style in this second video is more in-line with that of the one she later adopted during her rise to prominence on Instagram, which they described as "alien Disney princess porn star."
Once she adopted this new online aesthetic, her Instagram account surged from 850,000 followers in November 2018 to 4.2 million in July 2019. Her content also began to notably and frequently include ahegao facial expressions, which are exaggerated, eyes-rolled-back expressions that signify an orgasm, often featured in adult anime. Complex further described the nature of Kirschner's content, detailing that "along with her more traditional photos, she has posted clips of herself coyly eating a raw egg, shell and all. A scroll through her feed is just as likely to find colorful thirst traps as it is to see photos of her playing with a dead octopus." As she grew in popularity on the platform, Kirschner began to draw controversy for her content. In January 2019, adult content creator Indigo White alleged that while underage, Kirschner used other sex workers' nude photos and represented them as her own. A February video, which showed Kirschner dancing to a song about suicide while holding a gun, also drew controversy. Shortly after it was posted, false rumors of her death began to circulate online
