Wengie is the Voice of the 4th Powerpuff Girl!

Wengie is the new Powerpuff Girl, Blisstina Consuela Utonium, in the Australia/New Zealand airing of the Cartoon Network series "The Powerpuff Girls". 

The show originally aired from 1998 to 2005. Remember Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup, the three super-powered girls who fought crime? The series returned for several specials. Then in 2016, Cartoon Network rebooted it. The show is now in its second season.

Bliss is "this cute, really relatable character," Wengie said. "Everyone can see a bit of themselves in her and I can see myself in her as well, because I used to be a little bit of a loner, insecure."

Bliss also shares similarities with Wonder Woman from the hugely popular 2017 film. On the island of Themyscira, populated solely by female Amazonian warriors, there's a strong theme of sisterhood. 

"Bliss's journey in finding herself, I think Wonder Woman had an element of that," Wengie said. "She started off very insecure, being bossed around by people, just listening to people, but she got her own thoughts after a while, like I know I'm going to do this, and be powerful."

The nominations for the 7th Annual Streamy Awards were announced today, but instead of doing the traditional ceremony where someone stands at a podium and reads a long list of names, the nominees were announced exclusively via the Streamy Awards Twitter account — an appropriate platform for the digital video accolade.

Wengie was nominated in the International category alongside Juanpa Zurita, Lisa and Lena and more.

The Streamy Awards, which is produced by dick clark productions, will take place at 9:30PM ET/6:30PM PT on September 26 at the Beverly Hilton.

This year marks the first ever installment of “The Purpose Awards,” an annual event recognizing individuals and organizations making a difference in their communities and positively impacting humankind, which will take place during Streamy week on Sept. 25.
