Howdy Do Bot

Howdy_Do_Bot is Markass's chat familiar and is well known for her general hospitality and desire to make viewers feel welcome.

Origin
Howdy_Do_Bot has been the channel bot since February 22nd, 2018. No design has been made depicting the bot, however, but a username color of yellow has always been her standard.

Over time, commands were made for chat users, such as the useful !uptime command which gives Mark an estimate on the number of times "Howdy" should be said to maintain chat interaction. In September of 2018, Twitch launched the "Subtember" event, for which Howdy was given the !subtember command (often formatted as !SUBTEMBER, despite case sensitivity being non-existent for commands). The response, which always defaulted to "yup", was often used as a form of communication, allowing viewers to ask Howdy questions, such as "!SUBTEMBER Are you excited for the stream today?"

In October, the !subtember command's reply was changed to "nope", though viewers quickly adapted to this. To fit the growing demand for a communication option, the !question command was created to allow Howdy to answer viewers in a greater scope.

Personality and Lore
Despite being a bot, a few key aspects of her are decided on as time goes on. She has no interest in the Pokémon Corsola, she approves of Twitch's "Subtember" event during the month of September, and is female, at least in terms of bot genders.

Trivia

 * Much of Howdy's lore is propagated through the !question and !quote commands, as these allow her to communicate with chat. Notably, this is where Howdy decided on her 'bot gender' and which Pokémon would represent her in the Omicron playthrough.
