Nickname
During the early days of Stream, Opalen often introduced himself as Qwerty. According to him, this was an online nickname that he had when playing LAN games during his exchange year in New Mako University, Izaakia, using an Austral keyboard with the QWERTY design, which was exotic to him. In recent years his usage of the nickname has been diminishing.
Early life and acting
Hejerr Opalen was born on November 27, 1983 in Ȳmmoll, Limravad, Sedunn. He grew up on the apple farm that belonged to his father Matts Limienn and mother Aenn Skalienn. Seven years old he was cast as Juice, the main protagonist in the television series Frying Pan, which he was awarded the Golden Fly for twice. Due to the time spent on acting, he lagged behind in school. According to himself this and early fame made him feel like an "outcast", which he had issues dealing with. Eleven years old he was forced to change schools due severely bullying several classmates. His parents now declined all acting offers to let Opalen focus on school. He finished comprehensive school with good grades.
