Brokenshipping pls

How they first met: Dawn grew fond of spending time in the Distortion World after she initially visited it while facing down Team Galactic, enjoying just getting away from it all to a quiet place where she knew could be alone. She would usually bring a Thermos of tea and a book and find some nice spot by an inverted waterfall and read. It was during one of these visits that the even that caused the Legendary pokémon to revert to their human forms (if they had one) occurred. Now, Dawn was used to occasionally encountering Giratina on her visits to their realm but the two usually just left each other alone. So, when she saw Giratina heading her way and seeming to be in distress, Dawn knew something big was up. Giratina barely made it to her platform before turning back into Jeshir (who he himself is an old deity, but that’s a story for another day.) Obviously, Dawn was incredibly shocked that this ancient being had just turned into what looked like a unconscious human man in front of her eyes, but in this situation, her rational nature came in handy. She shoved all her questions to the back of her head and focused on getting him out of the Distortion World and to medical care. Later on, once his identity was established, she agreed to vouch for him (being Champion, she had the clout to do so). She was very eager to learn about him, and he grew interested in getting to know her as well. It was the start of a strange but beautiful relationship.
Where their first date was: It took a long time for Dawn to realize her feelings towards the old god were romantic, as is typical for her. Jeshir understood this and took things as slowly as he could, but eventually he got a bit fed up waiting for Dawn to try and figure things out on her own, so he directly asked her out. They had gone to this café many times in the past, but this was the first time he framed it in the context of a specifically romantic date. Dawn was hesitant to just go on a date out of the blue, but Jeshir’s rational was that if she thought of it as a date beforehand, then she could decide if she liked the idea of them being a romantic item: if she did like it, then it would be their official first date, if she didn’t like it, then it would just be another of their regular outings as friends. This plan seems to have worked, since by the end of their time at the café, they were walking back to Dawn’s house hand in hand and Dawn felt secure and confident in her newly realized romantic feelings.
When they had their first kiss: They had their first kiss after their first official date. After Jeshir walked Dawn home, she turned around before opening the door and gave him a quick peck on the lips, which shocked him greatly. It had been a very impulsive move for Dawn, so she used his shock to just head inside before seeing how he reacted and before he could see how flushed the action made her.
Who cooks: Dawn is the better cook, since Jeshir never learned, being a deity who doesn’t need to eat, but Dawn is also the busier one and rarely has time to cook for her family, so when Jeshir first moved in with her, he made it his mission to learn to cook so he could do something nice for his girlfriend. He’s gotten pretty good at it over the years (the way he tells it, he was always a good cook), so now he always makes sure to come home from his volunteer job at a local history museum (being an ancient being has its perks in the field of history and archaeology) to cook dinner for his wife and daughter and any guests they might have that evening (usually Ash and Paul’s family). After Tanith leaves to go on her journey, Jeshir is sad he can’t cook for her anymore, so he starts inviting the Rozanov-Ketchum’s over even more. The four them are turning into a group of middle aged parents with empty nests, haha. 
Who proposed: Dawn proposed. Jeshir always talked about Dawn spending the rest of her life at his side, but as always he let her take the relationship at her own pace, so he waited for her to decide if she wanted marriage or not. Either way, he was happy just being with her. Dawn herself didn’t really think of marriage either until after Tanith was born. She realized that seeing as they had a family now, it might make more sense if they were married as well. She wanted to at least make the proposal romantic, so after some advice from Lucas, she took her partner to one of their favorite date spots – the lighthouse overlooking the sea – and asked him to marry her. No need for rings or anything fancy, just a promise of the commitment they already knew they had. 
The dominate one: Jeshir for sure. At first especially, Dawn is less confident in her preferences and lets him take the lead as she trusts him, but later on when she is more comfortable with what she likes, she grows more bold as well, which always pleases her husband. The two end up being both quite….. bold and experimental.
Their favorite pastime together: They are definitely more of a quiet couple, so perhaps echoing the circumstances leading up to their first meeting, one of their favorite things to do together is go for a walk out to a local park or further out into nature (and even sometimes the Distortion World) and have a picnic and just relax together. Sometimes it’s just the two of them, but they often bring Tanith along as well.
Who kissed who first: Dawn kissed Jeshir.
Who is the flirt: Jeshir 100%. Dawn is horrible at flirting and much prefers direct declarations and gestures of love. That said, she’s also terrible at recognizing when someone’s flirting with her as well, so Jeshir doesn’t flirt with her much since he knows it will probably go over her head or confuse her.
Who is the romantic: Again, probably Jeshir, but Dawn has her moments as well. She usually likes to surprise him by sneaking a bit of time off work (hard to do when she’s the Champion after all) and arranging some kind of date for the two of them. Jeshir is much more domestic (not that he’d ever admit it!). He loves to cook for her and pamper her – back and foot rubs, bubble baths, cuddles all evening long…. the works. He’s a very affectionate husband and that shows in all the little romantic gestures he does for his wife.
Who wakes up first: Dawn usually wakes up first, but Jeshir always wakes up when she does since he doesn’t really need sleep so can just wake up whenever he wants without feeling grogginess. Dawn, who requires at least three cups of coffee in the morning to function, resents this trait. Jeshir likes to tease her about it sometimes if she isn’t looking too murderous (usually after her second cup.)
Who comforts who the most: Jeshir usually, just since he’s so affectionate. Dawn’s work is stressful so he tends to help her unwind. All the same, he’s not had an easy life either and sometimes the weight of things can drag him down, though he hates admitting weakness, seeing himself as above such things. Dawn is not the best at being comforting, but she always tries to at least be there for her husband whenever he seems particularly distant. She knows him well enough to tell when he’s faking cheerfulness, so she always shows him that she’s there with small gestures when she senses he’s feeling down.
The cuddler: Jeshir. To the point Dawn needs to remind him to lighten up the cuddling a bit sometimes since she’s feeling smothered.
The big spoon: Jeshir. He’s a tall and fairly broad guy and Dawn fits perfectly in his arms. He likes to hug her from behind while she’s working which, while she appreciates the gesture, often gets in the way of her actual work. Dawn minds much less when he’s cuddling her in bed though.

Tanith for A2 please!

First drawing of Tanith on the blog! Featuring her hideous 90s windbreaker. Not pictured – her pink legwarmers. 
Tanith is the daughter of Dawn and Jeshir (aka the Dark God, aka Giratina, aka basically the devil, wow Dawn you have wild taste). She’s peppy and energetic, a true lover of all things retro (especially 80s and 90s) and eats probably way too much sugar. Indecisive about her future, she’s decided to challenge both Gyms and contests in her journey across Sinnoh, which is a decision she is slightly regretting after finding out how much work it is.

Tanith for 1, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 please!

1. What’s their full name? Why was that chosen? Does it mean anything?

Tanith doesn’t have a middle name since they aren’t really used in Sinnoh, so her full name is just Tanith Moireach. However, she does have a secret ‘true’ name from her father that only she and her parents know. As for Tanith, I’m not sure how much pokémon world mythology overlaps with our own (there is that one Aqua Grunt who mentions Poseidon after all), but Tanith is an alternate spelling of Tanit, who is a Punic and Phoenician goddess. She is equivalent to the goddess Astarte (and by extension, Ishtar) which are the names of her cousin and her cousin’s cousin. The three of them are sort of a next-gen Creation Trio, hence the matching names. I chose Tanith in particular for Dawn and Jeshir’s daughter since the goddess is associated with war and serpents, which both suit the child of (technically, sort of) Giratina.

10. Do they like children? Do children like them? Do they have or want any children? What would they be like as a parent? Or as a godparent/babysitter/ect?

Tanith gets along fine with children. She tends to treat them like little adults, so sometimes she’ll slip up and curse or say inappropriate things in front of them. The kids usually like this, but their parents not so much. She probably wouldn’t be too good of a babysitter as a result, but if she’s just hanging out with younger kids she’s fine. As a teenager herself, she hasn’t really given much thought to having kids in the future. She is aware of her unusual heritage, so is perhaps a bit against the idea of having kids since she has no idea how they’d turn out. She’d probably be a good parent though – the ‘fun’ kind who tells her kids like it is and lets them stay up late and the like. More likely, she wouldn’t have kids though, and would be an aunty to all her friends’ kids.

20. Do they like musicals? Music in general? What do they do when they’re favourite song comes?

Tanith, a lover of all things retro, loves older music from the 90s. She’s a bit of a hipster, but not enough to use and old mp3 player or anything, though in general most of her favorite music is from a good 30 or so years before she was born. Tanith loves to dance and will always start jamming out when any of her favorite songs comes on. She’ll sing along most of the time as well. As for musicals, she wouldn’t consider herself a fan of the play itself, but she does like a lot of music from musicals on its own.

30. Do they exercise? Regularly? Or only when forced? What do they act like pre-work out and post-work out?

Tanith tries to regularly work out! Staying in shape is important to her, so she tries to hit the gym at least a few times a week. She’s one of those people who manages to look flawless after working out and is energetic even after a hefty dose of exercise. Her favorite work out is jogging, either on the streets or nature trails or on the treadmill. Post-workout, she usually takes a long shower then eats a good meal. She tends to work out in the mornings, so usually she’ll eat breakfast after finishing her run. 

40. Do they like energy drinks? Coffee? Sugary food? Or can they naturally stay awake and alert?

Tanith loves sweets of all kinds and they’re one of her vices for sure. She’s not a huge fan of coffee (she hates bitter things), but energy drinks are useful to her when she needs to stay up late. She’s very much an ‘early to bed, early to rise’ kind of person, so anything with caffeine or sugar in it is a must if she needs to stay up late. Even if she doesn’t, she’s probably going to eat lots of sugary things anyways. Her favorite candies are licorice and sour gummy worms.

50. If they could only take one bag of stuff somewhere with them: what would they pack? What do they consider their essentials?

Aside from items she could wear, like her favorite windbreaker, Tanith would probably pack a good amount of sweets, her favorite magazines, her Pokétch, the essentials like a change of clothes and her toiletries, a bunch of scrunchies for her hair, her makeup, the blanket her grandparents made for her when she was a baby, and her workout gear (sneakers, etc).

Multiples of 10 for Tanith please!

Alrighty! 

10. How are they with animals/non-humans?
I’ll take this to mean pokémon. I’d say Tanith gets along pretty well with them! She’s got an affinity for ghost and dark types in particular and has a lot of them on her team. She’s also not intimidated by traditionally ‘scary’ pokémon since her mother and family friends have some very powerful ‘mons on their teams.

20. What are their eating habits/favorite foods?
Tanith has a real thing for hot food, but she’ll eat just about anything. And by hot food I mean both temperature and spice wise. Her absolute favorite food is a nice hot bowl of spicy borscht after coming inside from the Sinnoh chill.

30. Do they have any siblings?
Nope! Tanith is an only child, and perfectly happy to be one. She’s quite spoiled by her parents. If she had to name someone she considered a sibling, however,  it would for sure be Emery. The two are childhood friends just like their parents were and Tanith sees Emery as an older sister figure.

40. What’s a bad memory that they have?
When Tanith was fairly young, she was briefly kidnapped by cultists. While Jeshir’s demigod/former-legendary status wasn’t advertised, it wasn’t unknown either, and Giratina has a lot of ….. unsavory followers. One particular group thought that Tanith could give them magic powers or something since she was his daughter, so the took her in a brief moment when she was unattended after school. It didn’t take long for her parents to track her down and lay some righteous justice down on the cultists, but the memory is still a terrible one for Tanith. She occasionally gets nightmares about the incident.

50. Do they prefer to preserve memories (pictures, blogging, journals, etc.) or live in the moment?
Tanith is a big blogger! She documents her journey on social media, especially sites like Instagram and Twitter – sharing pictures, anecdotes, etc. She has quite a few followers, in no small part thanks to being the Champion’s daughter, but also since her energy and sense of adventure are infectious even through just her blog posts.

Multiples of five for Tanith please!

5) Race?

Ok, this one’s a little tricky. In Pokémon world terms, Tanith is, in terms of species, a demigod. Disregarding the whole ‘divine parent’ thing, she would be half-malaki. In terms of race, well, she’s a quarter Sinnohan and a quarter Albanese from her mother’s side and half-malaki from her father’s side. In our world terms, she would be a quarter Russian, a quarter Scottish and half….. divine being of Middle Eastern origin???? It’s complicated.

10) 

What do they want to be when they grow up/what do they want to do with their lives?


Tanith isn’t quite sure yet what she wants to do with her life, hence why she’s decided to be both a competitive trainer and a coordinator. She likes a challenge, so any future career would have to be one that pushes her to take risks and is competitive. 

15) 

Where do they live? Are they wealthy? Poor? Middle-Class?


Having the Champion as her mother, Tanith is quite well off. She and her parents live in Sunnyshore City it a pretty nicely sized house. Not quite a mansion as both her parents prefer smaller abodes, but definitely easily fitting a family of three and their pokémon.

20) 

Do they wish they lived in a different family/household?


Definitely not. Tanith loves her parents and wouldn’t trade them for the world.

25) 

Do they consider any of their friends to be like siblings?


Tanith sees Emery as a big sister. Dawn and Paul are childhood friends and practically siblings themselves, so their daughters grew up very close. Emery is probably responsible for encouraging a lot of Tanith’s more reckless behavior. She’s definitely not the ‘responsible’ kind of older sister.

30) 

What would this person do without their friends in their lives?


Tanith is a very social girl, so without her friends she would likely become isolated and withdrawn, losing a lot of her cheer. Her love of challenge and competition, without any friendly rivals to pit herself against, might morph into an intense self-criticism that could be detrimental to her health. Overall, it would be pretty bad for her in general.

35) 

Do/Did they need extra help?


Tanith struggles with a few subjects in school – math and literature especially, but her pride can prevent her from seeking extra help. As she grows older, she realizes that not getting help would be giving herself an unfair disadvantage and how could she ‘win’ at school by being top of her class that way? After that realization, she often and enthusiastically goes to her teachers and peer tutors for help.

40) 

How far do they plan to go with school? If they dropped out, do they want to go back?


For now, Tanith plans on finishing high school, but has no plans for higher education.

45) 

Do they use social media?


Tanith loves social media. She’s very active on Instragram and Snapchat and enjoys sharing her travels and adventures with all her friends and followers. She mostly posts pictures of herself and her friends, her pokémon, and the sights of all the cities and routes she travels through. She also uses an ungodly amount of filters.

50) 

Does this OC have any part of you in them? (I.e, personality traits, similar background, etc)


Tanith’s relationship with her parents is pretty similar to mine. While none of her family resemble mine in personality, Tanith’s easy and positive relationship with her parents is similar. Dawn is both a mother and a sister to the only child Tanith, just how my relationship is with my mother.
