Fankidtober Day 29: Allegra “Allie” Joy

The daughter of Kenny and Marnie Joy (one of the young Joys from that Sinnoh episode w/ the Suicune and Drifloon), who met in pokémon medical school (where Kenny was training to become a pokémon doctor). Unlike her parents and extended family, however, Allie Joy wants to follow in her Grandpa Karsten’s footsteps and become an electrical engineer. In her eyes, she’s still following the Joy motto of healing… just for machines instead of pokémon or people! Regardless of her own convictions, she still gets a lot of surprise and stubbornness from others who are confused why a Joy would go into anything but medicine (despite there being other examples like her who don’t), so has developed a bit of a standoffish personality as a result. At least her own immediate family and friends are supportive!

Fankidtober Day 28: Adrian Hanamizu

Misty & Brock’s youngest son, but born after the divorce and raised primarily by Misty in Pallet Town (while Brock has primary custody of his two older brothers). Growing up in a seaside town and with Misty as his (mainly) single parent, he grew to love the sea as much as her. A desire to protect it and water type pokémon led to him enrolling in Ranger School, before being placed as an Area Ranger in Fall City, Fiore. He can usually be found patrolling the Safra Sea alongside his partner, Lanturn!

(Background is from the anime)

Fankidtober Day 27: Lewis von Aue

The middle of the (Siebold/Cress)/Jasmine kids, though he’s raised mainly by Siebold, with his other two parents living in Johto and visiting on holidays. He’s probably my most Volo-adjacent fankid personality-wise who isn’t related to the guy himself, though thankfully he has the benefit of a supportive family and modern therapy to help him through the roughest patches. That said, he’s still struggling a lot to figure out his place in the world and what he wants to do and be, so is a bit of a jack of all trades as a result. He’s recently begun considering music as a long-term career though, especially performing in unusual places (circuses, festivals, etc). He doesn’t battle much, so most people assume his Key Stone is for the partner he’s usually seen with – Lopunny – but it’s actually for his actual starter, Banette, who he still has a bit of a complex over (doesn’t fit the image he wants to portray etc etc).

Fankidtober Day 26: Forsyth Woodward

Milo & Avery’s youngest, he’s got that bright-eyed adventurer’s spirit. His energy is very much ‘farmboy protagonist just waiting for his call to the hero’s journey’, which is fitting considering he’s the reincarnation of one of Galar’s hero kings from the first Darkest Day (the other being Victor & Gloria’s father). Of course, he’s living in more peaceful times now, so most of his adventures are just exploring the Wild Area with his wilderness group. (And avoiding his estranged extended family who are interested in him for his fairly strong psychic powers that he himself has zero interest in cultivating.)

Fankidtober Day 25: Harvest Karjala

Harvest is Autumn & Brock’s daughter from a brief fling, though her mother has full custody. Growing up on the farm with her mom and aunts, she helped out at the café, but her true passion was caring for the farm pokémon, which led to her decision to become a pokémon groomer. She ends up traveling all the way to Lumiose to follow her dreams, landing an apprenticeship with Jessica (a cotd furfrou groomer). The big city is a lot different from her hometown, and a lot is overwhelming, but she’s going to do her best to provide great beauty service to all the pokémon who come by the salon!

Fankidtober Day 24: Isavella Anastasi Wattiez

Isavella is Arven & Giacomo’s elder daughter and the archetypical Dark Academia Girlie™️ who loves a good mystery and dreams of cursed manuscripts. She can be a bit overdramatic but it’s all in service of the aesthetic.

Fankidtober Day 23: Raphael Fiedler-Campbell

Ever since I decided Damon and Perrin were part of the extended Tobias & Pierce Family I’ve wanted to play around with multicolored hair in the same vein for Rapha… something something the genetics of the family mean dark blue hair + blonde/lighter hair = multicolored gradient. Rapha is an iconic blond anime villain though, so I went with the opposite color direction for his hair!

Day 22: Maeve “Eve” Birch-Fáng

Eve is Brendan & Wally’s daughter, and the third of their four children (including Layla). She initially started her journey as a trainer alongside her Treecko, and did quite well at it, even placing high in her first League tournament. However, as she entered her second year of traveling in Johto, she began to feel burnt out and tired of battling, but a chance encounter at the Goldenrod Flower shop opened her eyes to the wonders of gardening and berries! After returning home to Hoenn, she began working at the Pretty Petal flower shop and has become an accomplished florist in the time since – not only is she skilled at gardening, she also knows all about flower meanings and arrangement!

Fankidtober Day 21: Layla Birch-Fáng

Another purple kid today, but opposite vibes! Layla is Wally/Anabel’s daughter, but is raised by Wally/Brendan after Anabel goes missing under mysterious circumstances. This vanishing prompts an interest in cold cases and unsolved mysteries in her, leading Layla to join Interpol as an adult, where she meets an alternate (?) version of her mother. They have an unconventional family relationship, but they do consider each other family! Layla mainly does office work, being the woman-in-the-chair to her partner Noelle (from earlier this month) and pretends to be completely fed up and not at all flustered by all the flirting Noelle does through their earpieces.

Fankidtober Day 20: Osmund “Ozzie” Gärtner

Gladion & Elio’s youngest, he’s biologically Gladion/Elio/Dulse because by the time he’s born Dulse is their sort of third but not really [insert complicated URS-cultural relationship dynamics here]. Unlike his preppy sister and cutesy-goth brother, Ozzie is a total party guy who likes to hang out on the beach and get into trouble. While he seems like he lacks a serious bone in his body, he’s also the only sibling who’s super into pokémon battles and is making a career out of being a trainer. Elesa is a huge icon of his, especially her neon-filled gym. He dreams of joining the Alola E4 one day or becoming a gym leader in another region, if he finds a gym with the right vibe.
