Early life
Natalia Mogollon  was born on January 10, 1988, in Colombia. As a child, Mogollon had access to a few games on an old computer and then later a Game Boy and Super Nintendo console, which sparked her early interest in video games. She moved to Saskatoon, Canada, in 2010 after her then-boyfriend, whom she met online, convinced her to do so.

She studied nursing at the University of Saskatchewan in 2012.

2010–2018: Early online presence
Mogollon created her Twitch account, Alinity, on December 23, 2012, and started streaming there while enrolled at the University of Saskatchewan before becoming a full-time online streamer at the end of 2014. She predominantly streamed World of Warcraft content at the beginning of her Twitch career.

Mogollon created her YouTube account, Alinity, on January 16, 2013. At the beginning, she mainly uploaded highlights of her livestream content such as World of Warcraft videos.

Copyright-strike feud with PewDiePie
In May 2018, Swedish YouTuber Felix Kjellberg, known online as PewDiePie, uploaded a YouTube video of him testing out an eye-tracking device. He used the device while watching a video compilation of female Twitch streamers, including Mogollon, and tried not to focus on the streamers' breasts. At one point in the video, he referred to the women as "stupid Twitch THOTS", a derogatory term that's an acronym for "that ho [whore] over there". Mogollon saw the video while she was streaming and "jokingly" responded by saying, "Yo, can we copy strike PewDiePie's latest video?", in which later, CollabDRM, the company that manages copyright claims for Mogollon, filed a copyright claim towards Kjellberg's YouTube video. In response, Kjellberg chastised her, saying that she deserves the harassment she receives online for wearing revealing clothing. After the backlash from Kjellberg’s response, Mogollon apologized and said that CollabDRM filed the copyright claim all without her knowledge.

After the feud, Mogollon faced an intense amount of backlash from the online community, to the point that she received doxing threats. She states that she had to notify the Saskatoon Police regarding the possibility of a swatting attempt, which involves calling the police and filing a false report with the intention of provoking a substantial, armed police response. On May 20, 2018, Kjellberg apologized in a YouTube video for his earlier use of the term "thot" and stated that he doesn't condone anyone harassing anyone on his behalf.

Animal abuse allegation
Mogollon faced backlash after a video clip of her from a livestream on July 18, 2019, picking up her cat Milo from beneath the camera and tossing it over her shoulders went viral. The video circulated quickly on Twitter and Reddit, and as a result of the incident, on July 19, 2019, people around the internet have been calling for Mogollon to be banned permanently from Twitch over claims of animal abuse on her stream. Animal rights and welfare organizations PETA and the Saskatoon SPCA weighed in on the incident, demanding a Twitch ban and an investigation into Mogollon. Critics of Mogollon were also seen in other videos, including one from 2018 in which she drank vodka from a bottle and then had her cat lick it off of her mouth, as well as one in which she kicked her dog. Later that day, Mogollon apologized on Twitter, stating: Hey everyone, I understand the concern and I am sorry for my lapses in judgement. I shouldnt have gotten frustrated with Milo, but I dropped him on the floor behind my chair. I'm not that strong :P. The Vodka thing was well over a year ago but it was also a stupid thing to do. July 19, 2019 "I shouldn't have gotten frustrated with Milo, but I dropped him on the floor behind my chair. I'm not that strong :P. The Vodka thing was well over a year ago but it was also a stupid thing to do."Mogollon stated on July 26, 2019, that she had contacted the Saskatoon SPCA to investigate her alleged animal abuse allegations. The Saskatoon SPCA revealed the findings, which showed that each animal appeared to be in good health and had a friendly disposition. The organization also states that the incidents captured in the videos were "not malicious in nature" and that Mogollon was "educated" on how to be a responsible pet owner.

A massive Change.org petition was started to draw attention to the alleged double standard on Twitch regarding her incident. It has been signed by more than 25,000 people. Mogollon revealed that the incident has resulted in people in her neighborhood now recognizing her and following her home while she's out taking her dog for a walk. According to Bijan Stephen of The Verge, the incident sparked discussion on Twitch's conflicting situation in protecting people like Mogollon from sexist harassment and the notion that women receive preferential treatment on their website.
