Faye Mata (born September 2)[2] is an American voice actress best known for her roles as Aqua in KonoSuba, Astolfo/Rider of Black in Fate/Apocrypha, Petra Macneary in Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Yukie Shikako in Godzilla Singular Point, and Kagami Tsurugi in Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir.

Gaming career[]

In addition to her voice acting career, Mata has been heavily involved in various game tournaments. She particularly participated in Pokkén Tournament and Super Smash Bros. Brawl tournaments, achieving substantial notoriety in gaming circles.[3]

While she no longer continues to actively participate in tournaments, she continues to do charity streams via Twitch where she typically plays Super Smash Bros. Ultimate,[4] and is also signed with the esports team Panda.[5] She has also hosted video game tournaments for charity. The most recent of these was for Voices for a Change, where money was raised for The Bail Project.

Philanthropy and charity[]

Mata has contributed to the Black Girls Code, Girls Who Code, and Tyrone Gayle Scholars Program.[6] She is vocal in supporting programs or charities that represent minority youths. Regarding Girls Who Code, Mata described her specific passion for the program:

“Essentially, that's about introducing programs/options to them that were not normally obvious or available to us growing up, naturally inspiring them to pursue those paths if they find passion through them. e.g. A female coder is rare. Girls Who Code funds free after school programs that give girls a place to not feel pressured by typical barriers and learn about coding, and maybe one day after participating in these clubs, they'll go to college and become engineers in the future, because that's what they always wanted to do, rather than trying to introduce/force change of grown adults. etc.”[7]

In addition to supporting these charities, she has also donated to Direct Relief during the 2020 COVID-19 Pandemic. Using Twitch as the platform, she raised money by having viewers challenge her in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. where they could be chosen by random draw, or donate to the charity to be put into a priority queue.[citation needed]
