10 Facts About Morgan Rozanov

  1. He has Ash’s black hair and ‘z’ markings on his cheeks along with Paul’s gray eyes and hair texture. His hair tends to stick up a bit more than Paul’s though, being prone to bedhead if he doesn’t carefully brush it in the morning and before he goes to sleep.
  2. Like Ash, he’s a light mage, specifically the kind with the ability to use aura. He has trouble controlling his magic, however, either not being able to produce anything at all or going overboard and losing control. He’s afraid of accidentally hurting someone, so he tries to not use his magic that much, even if that’s not very healthy for a mage to do.
  3. He’s on the shy side, disliking direct confrontation and being easily embarrassed in social situations. As a child, he tended to let his much more outgoing older sister handle any social interactions he was too shy to confront himself. He wishes he was more outgoing like his dad or sister, or at least had thicker skin like his father.
  4. He doesn’t much care for being a trainer, much preferring contests to Gym Battles, but for a long time he was afraid to tell his family he wanted to be a coordinator since he thought they would disapprove, being all strong trainers themselves. After a bit of drama and some help from Uncle Reggie, he’s able to tell his parents his dreams and, of course, they support him wholly.
  5. His starter is a Snorunt that was given to him as an egg by Reggie. The Snorunt is actually the child of Paul’s Froslass. Paul had noticed his son’s interest in the elegant pokémon (both his own and Dawn’s Froslass), so he asks for his brother’s help in arranging a way to give Morgan a Snorunt egg as his starter. 
  6. Morgan is very close with Ash’s Pikachu (who calls him ‘Pichupi’) often going to his dad’s partner pokémon for support and comfort when he felt too nervous to talk to his parents or sister about whatever was bothering him. Pikachu is also very good at picking up on Morgan’s anxiety and will go cuddle up to him if he notices his ‘nephew’ getting too nervous. 
  7. While he tended to dress in plain, practical outfits when he was younger, as he grows more confident and wants to improve his coordinating skills, Morgan decides to try and be bolder in his fashion sense. He ends up going to Emery for advice, since she’s got the flashiest fashion sense of anyone he knows. This results in Morgan developing somewhat of a ‘goth/punk lite’ style in his mid-teens, wearing a lot of fitted and distressed dark clothing, getting his ears pierced, and wearing dark eyeliner and nail polish. He ends up liking this ‘rebellious but not too rebellious’ look quite a bit (though Paul is still baffled by his two goth children.)
  8. Despite his initial concerns about his parents not approving of him being a coordinator, Ash and Paul are very supportive of Morgan’s choice in path. Ash in particular is his son’s most vocal and enthusiastic fan, attending every contest that he can and recording the one’s he can’t to preserve them forever. He’s the parent sitting front and center cheering as loud as he can for his son to win (while Morgan is turning bright red with embarrassment on stage.) Paul is more subdued in his support (often having to tug his husband back down to his seat when he keeps jumping up during Morgan’s contests), but he does his best to help his son in his own way. While he’s not a coordinator himself, he often offers Morgan advice from a technical standpoint for the battle portion of the contests and won’t tolerate anyone trash talking his son in any way (a glare is usually enough to shut up anyone foolish enough to try in his presence.)
  9. Morgan likes to train ‘beautiful’ pokémon, usually having a preference for elegant and graceful ones. He’s a very supportive trainer and does best to encourage his team’s full potential, but sometimes his own self-doubt weighs them all down. Part of his character arc as a coordinator is learning how being confident in himself helps him be more confident in his team and how to help let them support him as much as he supports them.
  10. His favorite food is ice cream, but since he lives in chilly Sinnoh, he gets brain freeze half the time he eats. He always gets upset when he gets brain freeze… but that doesn’t stop him from buying ice cream in the middle of winter anyway. He just can’t resist it. He also bites into his ice cream bars and then chews the ice cream without even hesitating, which is absolutely unsettling to watch.
