## Description Pending:

**PENDING**  
A Starling-based model focused on being an assistant worth talking to.  
**Uncensored**

## Main Goals:

Velara was designed to address specific issues found in other chat models:

- **Character Consistency In-World/IRL:** Velara maintains character consistency in-world, including the use of add-ons as part of the prompt, enhancing the interaction realism.

- **Contextual Awareness:** If you mention staying up late, Velara will remember and might encourage you to go to bed later, adding to the conversational depth.

- **Avoiding Generic Responses:** Expect more than just "That sounds great!" Velara aims for unique, engaging responses.

- **Prompt Fidelity:** Enhanced attention to prompts and conversation, particularly evident in the handling of "addons."

- **Innovative Addons:** Introduce any number of "addons" to Velara's mind. Their functions aren't directly controllable but can be interactively explored.

## Prompt Template:

**For optimal interaction, use this template:**
