Hi there! I'm elainamonster but you can call me Elaina, Laina, or Elmo! I use she/her pronouns and was born and raised in Ontario, Canada. I recently completed my BA in Forensic Psychology at university and I found streaming to be a passion I do part-time! I grew up playing Gamecube, Wii and Nintendo DS games! Needless to say, I am a Nintendo gamer at heart. Some of my favourites growing up were all the Animal Crossing games, the Harvest Moon series, anything Pokémon, and the Ace Attorney series (I think that's where I developed my interest in forensics!) Now as an adult, I'm still a hard core Nintendo fan, playing all the same games as I grew up on, and with Splatoon and Zelda games being added to the roster. I also now have a PC and play my fair share of cozy indie games! Outside of streaming you can catch me being a hot chocolate girly while catching up on one of my hobbies! I am a huge anime nerd, an artist, a cross-stitcher, a beginner at crochet and a baker! I have 2 kitties, Zuko and Moogle, and yes their names are from ATLA and Final Fantasy! We're an entire nerd family in the Monster household! 💜 Streaming gives me a place where I can share my love of these things and be myself while meeting so many beautiful like-minded people. As someone who has struggled with anxiety for a long time, streaming and this community has done wonders for my mental health. This is a safe place for everyone so don't be scared to come say hi, but lurkers are always welcome and anonymity is respected when preferred.

**This is a PG-13 community!** Rules can be updated/added at any time. 1. Respect everyone! Tone is hard to understand through typed messages so be thoughtful of what you say. 2. Light swearing is allowed but cannot be used when directed at another person and there is 0 tolerance for any slurs. 3. Refrain from NSFW comments. (Keep things PG-13!) 4. No flirtatious, romantic or suggestive messages/comments towards the streamer or anyone else. 5. Any form of discrimination will result in an immediate ban. 6. Please refrain from making jokes when asked about your pronouns. We want to know how you prefer to be addressed without making light of the struggles others have gone through in their identity journeys! 7. Speak English since we can only moderate reliably in that language. 8. No self-promo unless asked about your content. 9. Do not baby the streamer! Elaina knows when she needs to eat, do homework and accomplish various things and does not need extra parents to boss her around. 9. Enjoy your time in this little corner of the internet 💜
