Hii, it's Rachel! ૮( ˃̵֊ ˂̵ )ა

Actually, Elias was the first bot I made on this site, but it had been a year since I created him, and he needed a lot of fixing. After making that bot public, I noticed something felt a little off during chats, so I moved everything over to a new bot.. I hope you enjoy!
