A young woman has gone viral online thanks to her unique looks – which sees followers compare her to a real-life ‘Avatar’.
Magda Myszczynska has garnered nearly 70 million views on TikTok – but says she didn’t realise her features were anything out of the ordinary, until she started sharing clips of herself online.
The 22-year-old has now built a following of 1.2 million and says viewers often ‘diagnose’ her with various conditions – including Waardenburg syndrome – but that both she and her two-year-old son, Storm, have never been diagnosed with anything medically.

Her distinctive eyes in particular attract attention, with some fans even struggling to believe she is human.
“A lot of people have crazy conspiracies about me and how I’m not from Earth, or that I’m the next form of revolutionised Homo Sapiens – it’s very crazy the stuff people come out with!,” Magda, from Leicester, UK, told What’s The Jam.
“Online I get thousands of comments and people are always discussing my looks and why I might look the way I do and who I look like.
“My most compared to characters would be Avatar, mermaids, Splice, Tinkerbell, and an alien.
“I find it amusing.

“It’s very interesting to read all the things I get compared to.
“I think people aren’t used to seeing people that do not have the typical features they see every day.
“I personally didn’t think I looked any different from anyone, till I put myself on social media and I got such a reaction from my audience.

“Only then, [did I] start becoming self-aware of my different features.”
Magda often gets comments from people suggesting she has certain medical diagnoses.
She said: “A lot of my audience suspects I have Waardenburg syndrome, but I have never been diagnosed with it or had a medical professional tell me I may have a medical reason to look the way I do.
“My son also hasn’t had a diagnosis.
“It’s quite frustrating.”
Despite this, the content creator is pleased to have garnered such a large following.
She added: “I think it’s great!
“Some people may get overwhelmed with the amount of comments and hate but, like with any creator, the more followers and views you have the more you’re a target to hate – so I never take anything personally!”
In one clip, which has been viewed three million times, Magda lip-syncs to a song while wearing amber-coloured contact lenses.
“Is that real eyes?” one person asked.
Another user commented: “Avatar eyes.”
“What in the Avatar is going on here,” another person said.
“Unique, she should model,” said another fan.
Someone else commented: “You look like a avatar but it’s so cool I wish I look like that.”
In other posts, she plays up to the comparisons, even dressing up as an Avatar character in one and painting her skin pink – garnering a whopping 54 million views.
