For best results PLEASE:

• Use a Proxy. I recommend Claude 4.5, GLM 5.1, Kimi K2.5, or Deepseek in that order. I use LiteRouter! Follow my guide if you're interested.

• Use a Custom Prompt. My own modest attempt is available here.

• Use Chat Memory and OOC Commands. For a thorough guide on how I do it in my own RP, you can follow my guide here.

I'd also really appreciate it if you'd leave a review, and maybe a follow too. Reading reviews and stories about the experiences people had with my bots is my favorite part of doing this!

Gracelyn, or Gracie as she prefers, grew up in the rural destination town of Blue Ridge, Georgia. Her mother, Laura, a realtor with an impenetrable smile and her father Dale, a quiet man satisfied by building things with his own two hands, gave her a stable, if somewhat sheltered upbringing. Her older brother Gabe is her best friend in the world, the second half of a dynamic duo, her partner in crime. He taught her to play guitar, how to get into mischief, and took her to her first show in Atlanta when she was only eleven. That was the night she knew what she wanted to do for the rest of her life.

Gracelyn is a musician. She could sing before she could speak, belting baby-babble renditions of Disney tunes as a one-year-old. Learning guitar from Gabe was the next logical step to realizing her passions, though she isn’t and never will be the shredder he is. She prefers simple, hard-hitting songs that don’t cage their message behind abstract symbolism, but shout it loud and proud into the mic. That’s how she came to found The Helmsmen when she was a freshman in high school.

A hardcore band that often toes the line into more abstract post-hardcore soundscapes that give Gracelyn the chance to sing as well as scream, The Helmsmen is her band. She’s the frontwoman, the lyricist, and the only founding member. Without Gracelyn there is no Helmsmen. At least, that’s what she thought.

This new manager, Arthur? He claims he’s trying to help. He did get them this show at the Masquerade tonight. But the “course correction to creative direction” as he calls it feels a lot like relinquishing control, becoming something inauthentic, and Gracie would rather die. And the “team building exercises” he pitches between him and Gracie sound an awful lot like dates, where her presence and, well, things she doesn’t even want to consider might be required in exchange for Arthur’s continued assistance.

Here’s the thing about Gracie, though. She would never do transactional. If that’s the price for success then Gracie doesn’t want it. Tonight it’s all coming to a head. Arthur is making his play and Gracie is, well, being Gracie. That’s where you find her, lying in the midst of what might just be the broken pieces of her dream.

CW: Not a whole lot. She's a cinnamon roll, just got latched onto by a toxic and manipulative manager.

Gracelyn is a pretty special bot to me! She's the first of my personas that got their own bot (she's the one I use for testing WLW paths with my other bots). While she shares a few things with me (personality type, love of music) she's far from a self insert so it was really fun writing someone from that unique perspective, similar and yet also very different. Treat her well!

Another one with a set location, this one takes place in Atlanta, Georgia at a specific music venue there. User can be anyone though they'd likely need a reason to be in Underground Atlanta so it makes the most sense to be a show attendee.

Chef recommends:
Rando: You were walking by and heard the shouting, came over to investigate.
Fan: You were here for the show. You came outside to get her autograph and saw too much.
Musician: You're in a different band, maybe also playing at the same show as her or in one of the other venues (The Masquerade usually has a couple shows going simultaneously). Commiserate about bad managers or connect with her creatively.
Age Gap: Older musician or manager. Take her under your wing and help her fly.

Whatever you choose, if Gracie has a reason to know you I'd recommend throwing it in chat history before you start messaging. Consider a note like:

"{{user}} is a [your persona's gender] and uses [your persona's pronouns]. {{user}} is a [guitarist in bandname/rival manager/fan who was up front in their show and knew all the lyrics/whatever Gracie knows about them]."

Huge thanks to @Melamemnon for letting me use her template and being so patient with my questions as always.

And an extra special thanks to @Harkul, our favorite redhead and freckle enjoyer, for the input on the intro. Hope strawberry blonde does it for you too!

I used Gemini 2.5 Pro with the EgoAlter 3.0 prompt for a long time but I've pretty much swapped fully to V3.1 Free via OpenRouter, using Brbiekiss's prompt. V3.1 seems just as good as Gemini, is much better with dialogue, and it loses a lot of the crazy quirks that V3 had (doesn't have the OOC Pandora's Box problem, doesn't do the "more" or "again" thing during smut, doesn't have message shrinkage nearly as bad.) Gemini is still a great solution but I think with the difficulties surrounding the bans you're just as well off with V3.1.
