Maybe Cynthia/Lucian for the fankid meme?

Name: Phoebe

Gender: Nonbinary

General Appearance: Pale lilac hair, grey eyes. Their hair is quite long, but they’re an expert at pinning it up into a variety of styles that give the illusion of shorter length. Elegant, high class fashion in dark reds and purples, often accessorized with blues and silvers. They’re big on jewelry and makeup and vintage trends.

Personality: Haughty and self-assured, the type to brag constantly and bring up their famous parents whenever possible. Puts a lot of effort into their appearance and education, making sure to put their money where their mouth is. Appears unflappable in public, but in private will rage and swear when something goes wrong or they get criticized.

Special Talents: Psychic powers inherited from Lucian, mainly in the realm of minor telekinesis they use to carry their books or throw their pokéballs. However they also possess minor psychometry powers (the ability to read an object’s history by touching it), which is not a power found in Lucian’s family, so it must have somehow come from Cynthia’s side even though she herself isn’t psychic…

Who They Like Better: Both! But in different ways. When it comes to bragging rights, Cynthia, but when it comes to how well they get along, Lucian.

Who They Take After More: Cynthia. They share a stubborn streak and habit of wanting to stick their noses into anything that interests them. The passion for history is also mutual (though this something the entire family has in common).

Personal Headcanon: They’ve tried out a lot of different paths, starting out as a trainer to live up to their parents’ legacies, then switching to coordinating, dabbled in pokéstyling, studying the history of fashion, before settling on studying the historical development and cultural impact of psychic powers (with an emphasis on telling the stories of individuals and families).

💥🥞🌋🌏✏️☄️ for Ronan?

💥 COLLISON – what emotions do they have trouble dealing with?

Because Ronan has a complicated relationship with his parents due to perceiving them as being “irresponsible”, he tries to be as different from them as possible. But, this just means that Ronan often rejects his own emotions and impulses that he thinks are troublesome. Whenever he finds himself wanting to try something spontaneous or messy, he suppresses the urge and mentally berates himself for it. However, over time he finds that rejecting his true self is harming his creativity, something he takes pride in, and has to reconcile with being more similar to Flint and Volkner than he’d like, and that it might not be such a bad thing to take risks and be spontaneous like they do.

🥞 PANCAKE – what is their comfort breakfast?

Ronan loves to cook, breakfast being one of his favorite meals to make. Because neither of his parents are morning people, it meant Ronan usually had the kitchen to himself in the mornings. Getting to cook in peace and have the house essentially to himself was a highlight of his morning routine. His favorite to make and eat is a simple, traditional Japanese breakfast! He’s made the various dishes enough that it’s second nature, and he finds going through all the steps to be relaxing in their routine. Once he moves out, he tends to take his time when getting ready in the morning, really savoring the cooking process and each bite, so it’s a very special meal for him!

🌋 VOLCANO – how bad is their temper? is it a slow boil, or an instant explosion?

Ronan is very easily irritated, with seemingly everything able to annoy him depending on the circumstances. However, his actual temper is more of a slow-burn. Ronan is very prickly in his everyday demeanor, but when actually angry he’ll give the cold shoulder. Once he stops his grumbling and needling and is just quietly glaring and seething, that’s when he’s really mad at someone. His anger tends to pass fairly quickly, however, since he finds it tiring to be that upset for long periods of time and it’s easier for him to just avoid people who get that much on his nerves than waste energy being angry at them.

🌏 EARTH – will they give up the world for someone they love? is this decision easy for them?

Ronan finds it incredibly difficult to open up to people and struggles with his own feelings of affection and love to others. He sees himself as a loner and rejects attempts from people who try to grow closer to him beyond casual friendships. However, when he does let someone into his heart, he becomes completely devoted. He’s picky enough with who he allows close to him that anyone that does become that important to him, will be someone he’d do anything for, as they deserve it in his eyes. At his core, though, Ronan is someone who looks out for himself first and foremost, so while he might not give up everything for someone he loves, he would do everything in his power within reason to provide for them as long as it meant he could continue to exist alongside them as well.

✏️ PENCIL – is there a particular quote / lyric that you associate with them?

I don’t usually have quotes or lyrics written down or memorized for specific characters, but as for general inspiration a lot of Ronan’s influence came from the idea of him being inherently contradictory. He’s passionate at heart – but closes himself from those strong emotions, he’s methodical and precise – but secretly also enjoys pouring his heart without care into his poetry, he keeps himself isolated and aloof – but when he does love it’s with his whole being. So I tend to associate him with other characters that fit those tropes as well! (Also a friend told me he looks like BBC Sherlock and I can’t unsee it now and I hate it so there’s that too.)

☄️ COMET – what do people assume about them? are they right?

Generally, what you see with Ronan is what you get. He dresses in dark colors and has a permanent scowl on his face. He’s brooding and irritable and doesn’t like socializing. His consideration of fashion, seen in his more formal, stylish clothing, hints at his more refined side, which is emphasized in his “carefully chosen words that often have hidden meanings” (he will quote poetry when he doesn’t know what else to say). However, Ronan does have hidden depths for those willing to dig for them, but most people don’t want to put up with him long enough to do so or just like his dark and brooding exterior as is and prefer to imagine their own fantasies on how he’d be with someone he’s close to.

6, 12, 18, 24 for Florian?

(As Florian plays the role of SV protagonist in my verse, I’ve been playing the game as him, and have some burgeoning ideas of further ship ideas involving that game. However, since all of that is still heavily WiP and Sophia is his main partner regardless of any future possible poly shenanigans, she’ll be the one in question for the answers referring to his lover here!)

06. Do they have any hobbies that their lover finds unusual, odd, or otherwise annoying?

While his height is more often than not a hindrance, Florian still can be a bit smug about towering over most other people when he has the chance. Sophia despises this since she’s already the shortest member of her family, and sometimes Florian just makes her feel even shorter than she is when he effortlessly reaches tall places she’d need a stool to barely get to, casually (jokingly) rests his elbow on her head, or any other number of little quirks that get on her nerves.

And I’m now realizing this says “hobbies” and not “habits”, so to actually answer the question, Sophia is not necessarily the hugest fan of how much Florian loves the outdoors. She certainly doesn’t mind getting a bit of sun and maybe having a nice, relaxing picnic now and again, but things like camping and running around helter-skelter with your pokémon, tracking mud and who knows what else everywhere, are simply not for her and she doesn’t really see what Florian gets out of it, especially when he’s so conscious of his image and fashion otherwise. She certainly doesn’t fault him for his interests being different from her own, but this is one pastime she’ll never fully understand for him or anyone else. He can camp all he wants, she’ll be staying in the cozy hotel.

12. Is there some particular talent, skill, or attribute that they simply could not give up?

Florian places great pride in his strong connection to the past and keeping those traditions alive. While his memories of his first life can be a burden to him, he also would not trade them for anything. To him, his life has been a continuous unspooling thread and he simply cannot imagine what he would be like had he simply ceased to be when his first life came to a close. He and his brother are now, as far as they know, the only people from the ancient Kalos of three millennia ago still walking the earth, and Florian takes that very seriously. He wants to ensure that everything he can recall about his homeland, language, culture, and the people he knew is able to be recorded for posterity, as most of it had originally been long lost to history and myth. He’s been in touch with other reincarnations, and as far as any of them know, he was from the earliest time period among the whole current group of them. He is often fiercely homesick for his past, but has found that sharing those stories with his new friends and family and bringing them into his world can ease that ache, so he’s made it one of his life’s missions to aid in researchers, linguists, and historians as best he can to make the most of his second chance.

18. What kind of home would they want to live in? Where would they place this abode?

Ideally, Florian would love to live in a small cottage in a secluded, quiet village, surrounded by nature and far from the overwhelming hustle and bustle of cities and modern life, but in practice that home will be at most a vacation house for him. Having grown up in a big city and knowing full-well that marrying a princess means a life of lavish palaces and formal events simply means Florian cherishes the time he has to get away all the more. He knows that you can’t always get exactly what you want in life, so strives to find compromises wherever he can (something he learned through his own hardship as a prince and later king in his earlier life). He is doing his best to convert Sophia to the joys of country living (real country living not “The Summer Palace” country living) and he’s pretty sure he’s winning her over yet!

24. In their own words, how would your character describe what their lover is like?

“In Sophia, I find a resourceful, kind woman with strength in her convictions and the ability to use her position to uplift the voices of others. I have met few others as caring and driven as her, who put so much tireless effort into their work and ask for nothing in return but the continued success and happiness of the people she represents and strives to aid. However, the woman I fell in love with is the Sophia not seen in public appearances or written about in magazines, but the woman who almost burned the kitchen down trying to make me eggs, who threatens to lop me off at the kneecaps every time I need to fetch something from a height for her, who wrinkles her nose and swears quite colorfully under her breath when things don’t go her way, and enjoys daytime soap operas and has cried while watching that holiday romance movie that came out last… and oh dear she’s giving me a look, I suppose I can’t divulge all her secrets now can I? Needless to say, she’s wonderful and I adore her and she has not a single flaw, of course.”

🖊 + Ione?

Ahhh I haven’t talked about her too much but Ione is my baby. Some fun facts:

  • Her name is pronounced “ie-O-nee” and is of Greek origin, meaning “violet flower”. May and Lisia chose this name just since they thought it was pretty and sounded nice with Levi and Evan’s names, but it ends up being fitting for their daughter as she has her grandmother Caroline’s purple eyes.
  • Her Japanese name is Sumire (菫玲), with the kanji for “violet flower” and “sound of jewels”. The second kanji is meant to have a slight relation to “earth”, as Levi’s Japanese name relates to the sea and Evan’s to the sky. 
  • Ione has loved cute things and being the center of attention from a young age, in no small part because her mothers spoil her rotten. She loved the idea of contests, but always wanted to take the stage alongside her pokémon, so when she first heard about Showcases she knew exactly what she wanted to do when she set out on her journey. She’s got a rather princess-like attitude, so she definitely is going to be the center of drama in the Kalos Showcase scene, haha.
  • Her starter is a Sableye! I’m not sure yet how they first met, but I thought Sableye would be the perfect fit for Ione considering it kind of matches her name (purple and jewels), and I thought it would be fun for a pink-loving ultra-girly-girl like Ione to have a pokémon who’s a bit on a the creepier side. I can see Ione’s Sableye being similar to her in personality, very particular about her looks, a little on the prissy side, and always making sure her collection of jewels are in top condition (and ready to eat when she’s hungry.)  So the two definitely make a formidable (and overwhelming team.)
