Rest in Peace Rachel Lillis

I just learned about a half hour ago that Rachel Lillis passed and I also learned she voiced both Jessie AND Misty.
Despite being a Pokemon fan, I never knew this factoid. I grew up watching the original Pokemon anime after I'd already gotten into the Gameboy games. I had the original original fat gameboy from 89 that my auntie had gotten me when I was a baby because I'd always play with her kid's gameboy and they'd get so mad at me.
I never was into Jessie as a character, but the voice definitely hit hard and whenever I think of a snooty and uptight female character, Jessie's voice is what plays in my head.
Like a lot of other people who watched the show as kids, I, of course, had a thing for Misty even though Ash's mom, Delia, was my one true pokewaifu from the word go cos I was a weirdo kid.
Rachel will be missed.
