14 for Tanith, 19 for Janus, and any of 24/25/26 for Hymnia

14. What is something that never fails to make them excited?
The final, decisive moment, in a Gym or Contest battle! Tanith is competitive at heart, and nothing gets her blood pumping than having victory in sight. When things are down to the wire, there’s nothing in front of her but her pokémon and her opponent and their pokémon, she’s laser-focused, and she loves it. Whether she wins or loses (well, tbh mostly if she wins), nothing beats the thrill of knowing that everything comes down to this move, who knows what counter her opponent will have, how things will go… all she can do is rely on her instincts and her bond with her pokémon. Basically the thing that the music does in BW/SwSh/etc where it gets all intense on a Gym Leader’s last pokémon but it’s her brain.

19.  How do they feel about public displays of affection?
He’s pretty neutral on it! His parents are all pretty PDA heavy, so it’s something he just got used to. It never really embarrassed him even when he got older, though when he was younger he always wanted his parents to hug him as well if he saw them being affectionate in public, haha. When traveling with Glenn and Myka he likes to comment on any PDA he sees from others since he knows it (romance) annoys the both of them. In general he playfully flirts a lot, sometimes getting clingy all “Awww look how cute that couple is… we should hold hands too ~!”. He tones it down a bit after Myka snaps at him about it though, not realizing that romance was such a sore spot for him. 

24.  What do they think they’re good at, but aren’t?
Being normal. Or more accurately, Hymnia thinks she’s a very good actor and can easily convince others that she’s perfectly innocent and mild mannered but she really isn’t. It’s hard for her to hide her general suspicious vibes and people are often put on edge a bit when talking to her despite her best efforts. While Hymnia is a good actor in some ways, like being a good liar, blending in with the crowd or trying to be a “Plain Jane” forgettable ordinary citizen is definitely not her strong suit. 

25.  What is something they think they’re bad at, but are actually pretty competent at?
Being a big sister! Hymnia loves her brothers, but even she has to admit she’s not the best role model and not the best at being “sisterly” and affectionate. Despite usually being good at reading people, Hymnia isn’t actually aware of just how much her brothers admire her – Vesper especially. Even knowing about her less savory side, they’re happy she takes time to spend with them, even after leaving home. She’s taught them some (questionable) life skills, gives good advice, and would bail them out of trouble without question. She’d be pleasantly surprised to find out how much they care.

26.  What is something they’re legitimately bad at?
Self-restraint. Ultimately, Hymnia is ruled by her whims, even to her own detriment. She has a lot of trouble stopping herself from trying out every idea that comes to her mind, which usually involves sticking her nose where it doesn’t belong, some kind of criminal activity, or a dangerous experiment “just to see if she can”. While she’s certainly very smart and is great at seeing through other people’s plans, figuring out patterns and personalities, and solving mysteries… when it comes to her own actions she’s more of the “look before you leap” type, with said quick wits being the only thing saving her more often than not. She admits it’s a flaw, but she can’t help but enjoy the danger. It does make her life rather difficult though when she makes someone angry at her or gets on someone’s bad side just because her brain said “what if you insulted them/stole from them/poked them just to see what would happen”.

Also cooking. She can follow a recipe, sure, but somehow her food always ends up tasting a bit… off. And while she can follow a recipe… she often doesn’t since wants to see what will happen (see above). And that never ends well. She enjoys a good meal but just can’t seem to make them herself! Not for lack of disastrous trying though.

Send me a number and a character to learn more about them!

Bertie with 5, 7, and 17

· Leave a comment ·

5. What is a secret that they have? 
Bertie is the type of person who keeps a lot of secrets about himself. He tends to be protective of his personal life and will hide things even from his family if he doesn’t think they should or need to know about them. After he’s kidnapped he is suddenly in an environment where he can no longer be as private as he wishes, so he cherishes the few “secrets” he can get away with. The biggest one, of course, being his relationship with Darcel (that continues even after he returns home.) It’s dangerous, he knows pretty much everyone he knows would disapprove, and that’s what makes it so much fun. With Darcel, he shows a side of himself he doesn’t show others (except for Lunen), and thus to keep the allure of the relationship, he has to keep it a secret from others.

7. Any family scandals? Does your character know about them?
Bertie comes from a large family, so there are plenty of scandals to go along with that. He knows about most of them, even the ones that aren’t as well known to the rest of family, just since he finds that sort of thing interesting. His parents’ relationship had some scandals at first considering his father is one of the Twin Heroes of Unovan history and he and Hilda got together pretty quickly after he returned to human form. Then there’s his uncle’s family and their involvement with Team Plasma… and his own grandfather was one of the Seven Sages of the team… Great-Uncle Grimsley’s situation with Hymnia and his later retirement (and all the scandals Hymnia creates on her own)… his great-grandparents’ unconventional start to their relationship and mysterious deaths… the surprise secret Galar cousins everyone only found out about a decade or so ago… his father’s estranged sister that he’s only met once or twice… and of course everything that happens to him. So yes! Plenty of family scandals to go around!

17. Who is their favorite person(s) to spend time with?
Bertie enjoys spending time with people that let him relax or let loose a bit. People who he can show a side to that he doesn’t show anyone else. The list includes his twin sister Maela, his boyfriend Lunen, his cousins Euphie, Glenn & Hymnia, his best friend Blake, his companions Cyril, Poppy, and Laurel… and whatever his relationship with Darcel is meant to be. When it comes to his parents, it depends on the situation how comfortable he is around them. He trusts them and loves them, but he doesn’t really hang out with them much or anything. He’ll respect their boundaries if they’ll do the same for him, which takes some time for them to get used to, but they all do their best. He definitely gets along better with Albin than Hilda, just as Maela prefers their mother, but there are no real hard feelings about it. Also, while they’re still just toddlers, Bertie always loves to spend time with his young sons, Aurel & Elouan, especially in tandem with one of the people listed above. 

Do you have any headcanons for Green/Red, Barry/Lucas, and Hugh/Nate?

Absolutely I do!

Green/Red

  • Green is the one who managed to get Red to come down from Mt. Silver by somehow beating him in a pokémon battle. Red was so stunned by his loss he just kind of followed Green back to civilization. This is the only time Green has ever beaten Red in a battle to this day.
  • Roy was already born when the couple visit Alola in the SuMo games and was about 10 or so months old (give or take.) And yes, they brought Roy with them! Leaf and Yellow (along with baby Amaryllis) also went to Alola and ended up having to babysit Roy a lot because of Green and Red’s frequent trips to the Battle Tree, whoops.
  • Red is technically unemployed, as he doesn’t really want to officially apply to be a professional pokémon trainer due to annoying bureaucracy. He still regularly seeks out strong people to battle with though, so his skills never go rusty and also because he thinks “stay at home dad” sounds way more boring than “Multiple Hall-of-Famer Professional Pokémon Trainer.”
  • They are a very sappy couple who like to show off how in love they are, though most of that’s Green being smug (”Look at me and my husband!”) while Red just goes along with it.
  • Green likes to think he’s a super cool dad who their sons will see as a role model but more often than not they go to Red for advice instead. Whenever this happens Green ends up pouting and needs to be comforted by his husband.

Barry/Lucas

  • A couple where people sometimes wonder how they got together due to how different they are. Definitely a very wholesome case of opposites attract.
  • Since Lucas was Rowan’s assistant, the two didn’t really meet until they were around 13 and didn’t interact much until after the events of DPPt. They met by chance at the Battle Frontier and when Lucas mentioned he wanted to improve his skills as a trainer Barry took him under his wing as a “Professional Battle Frontier Tour Guide.” Their romance blossomed fairly quickly, though Barry was pretty oblivious to his feelings while Lucas was realizing that subtle flirting wasn’t going to cut it in this case.
  • Dawn officiated their wedding and got trained to do so especially for her childhood best friend.
  • By the fankid era, Barry is a Frontier Brain like his father before him and Lucas has taken over from his mentor Rowan as Sinnoh’s regional professor, though he still has trouble getting used to being called Professor Hawthorn!
  • While they only planned on having one child, mainly due to how much of a handful Gavin was, they end up adopting Balthazar by chance due to some unexpected circumstances. Namely, Barry helps Dawn (who is Sinnoh Champion) take down a Cult of Giratina after they kidnap Dawn’s daughter, Tanith. While there, they find a boy who was raised in the cult to be a sacrifice and now has nowhere to go. The kid got attached to Barry  so one thing leads to another and he and Lucas end up with another son (Barry claims that Balthazar being blond and having a long name like him was a Sign that he was meant to be part of their family from the start.)

Nate/Hugh

  • Though Nate wasn’t the BW2 protag, he and Hugh were still childhood friends as he and Rosa are twins. They had quite a bit of romantic tension between them throughout middleschool, leading Rosa to urge them to try dating after getting fed up by hearing both her brother and best friend worry about the other’s feelings to her.
  • By the time the trio leave on their journey at 15, Nate and Hugh had been dating for about a year and a half.
  • Once it became clear that Team Plasma had returned, the two teamed up to fight them whenever they could, Nate mostly being worried about Hugh getting too angry.
  • Things reach a new level when, towards the end of their journey and when it’s looking like the final showdown with Plasma is approaching, Nate finds out he’s unexpectedly pregnant. While Nate himself is nervous due to his young age, he’s also excited and all the more motivated to defeat Plasma for the sake of his and Hugh’s child. Hugh, on the other hand, is incredibly nervous that Nate and the baby might get hurt now and ends up being rather overprotective of his boyfriend. This causes a bit of friction, but ultimately they’re able to work things out (with Rosa smoothing things over as usual whenever the two squabble.)
  • Glenn is born the summer after Ghetsis is finally defeated and Hugh and Nate stay in Aspertia for his first year or so, getting help from their parents and doing their best to raise him. At that, the two start looking for jobs so they can support their family, agreeing that whoever finds one first will take it, while the other will stay home to take care of Glenn. Hugh ends up getting unexpectedly scouted by Interpol, leading the family to move to Castelia, where they get married soon after.
  • Eventually, after Hugh gets promoted when Glenn is about 4, the family move to Opelucid to be closer to the League, which becomes their permanent home. When Glenn is about 6, they end up adopted their second child, Mindy, after her mother, Yancy, was looking for someone to adopt after she became unexpectedly pregnant. Glenn and Mindy are both handfuls but their parents love them (even if they hate each other lol)

Family Updates

Since I’m indecisive as usual I realized I wasn’t really feeling the dynamic Hugh, Nate & Yancy had, especially after I added Glenn. Glenn and Mindy had a strong sibling dynamic and dynamic with Hugh and Nate, but I was having trouble with how Yancy and Glenn fit in. So, here’s the current situation. And hopefully the last since I keep changing this family around.

Hugh and Nate are married and Glenn is their biological son. Mindy is the biological daughter of Yancy and some random OC who doesn’t matter. Yancy didn’t feel able to become a mother at the point she became unexpectedly pregnant, but still wanted to have some part in her child’s life, so after some discussion, Hugh and Nate agree to adopt Yancy’s daughter. This way, Mindy could grow up knowing Yancy as a sort of aunt figure, while Yancy didn’t have to care for a child by herself when she wasn’t able to.

Elliot is now the adopted son of Aurea and Fennel, making him Verna’s little brother. This doesn’t affect his character and plotline much at all, since most of his significant interactions so far are with Blake, who’s his childhood friend. As Bianca works for Aurea, it stands to reason their children would grow up knowing each other.

That’s about it! I’ll be retagging/editing some old posts to reflect these changes (not everything of course) so thanks for standing by as I continually change major things like this.
