I am locking in an Eevee ♀ with Adaptability, and a Taillow ♀ with Guts. Those are going to be starters. Now they just need nicknames, because it's Pokémon and it's cute.

Bitty!Yui isn't going to change much at all from canon, which makes the job easy

But as a little older girl, things will be a little different, mostly because she exists in much less of a vacuum. The other princesses exist, for one thing, but in as small of a community as Union,

I kind of anticipate she'll end up interacting with more people simply because she can't really not interact with people.

I say "small", but it's more like, there's too much going on for her to fade into the background.

Um, what else...

she will let kanade spoil her all the time /WIGGLES FINGERS

No? I'm consulting Bulbapedia while I do this.

Taillow only has Guts in Gen VI; I'm reading Adaptability as a normal Ability in Gen VI?

I'm seeing Anticipation as its Hidden Ability this generation.

Eh. If I'm wrong, I'll fix it later.

sweaters: Give her a few attempt to not eep at her and run away instead. Or just wait for her to be too worn-out to protest, sob.

kanade will lay in wait and ambush at the right moment

with friendship

Better to have someone looking out for me, at least. I'm really bad about remembering Pokémon stuff if I'm not already sitting in front of it.

......Be strong, Yui. It'll get better. Probably.

That, or she'll absently sketch a wanted poster with Kanade on it before realizing what she's doing one day.

someone who likes being fed for free on the regular, probably

you just have to compliment her! it's easy!

wow who're you callin too floofy

I need to bug you guys when I'm back from doing my civic duty

Hey! There's value in floof! It's fun to draw, and creates soft lines, and...

I mean the Princess Cures have probably THE MOST floofy hair

i was gonna say, HARUKA BILLOWS WAY MORE

kanade is just. a sea of ruffles

All of them do

and kudelia-tier hair

or i guess kudelia has rhythm-tier hair

are furfrou on the map...

SHOOT FOR THE STARS GET THAT FLOOFDOGE

Can confirm. Too much floof and ruffles on a Kanade

who asked you

Nobody needs to ask me

Ryuko swallows the Hibiki whole

At any rate, even if a Pokemon isn't on the map or starter list you can still request it.

of all the ways i expected that to go

Let's see... I want a way to draw more attention to her art, so I'm wondering what is flavorful to use there.

Probably will give her some Charcoal for drawing, and from there she can acquire more normal stuff as time goes on.

...Maybe I'll figure out what makes dyes for paints, or that sort of thing.

Not that I've seen, Raz.

Yeah, except mechanically, Smeargle is weird, on all levels.

So while it's sensible for story, I'm not sure how it'd work in play.

That, and I think I'm going to focus her team on cute, rather than on art.

....../flails while trying to make words happen

I'll probably have her come across one later, though. It does fit her.

Let's see... I don't think she's going to start with a particular affinity for any given job, though she'll end up helping the Rangers a little.

Whenever they need to plot a mystery dungeon new discovery, an artist might be able to help keep maps easy to understand.

Still, the itch to discover new places and explore (and draw) new things is going to come calling soonish.

Makes sense. Plenty of stuff to draw out there in the world

Maybe I'll start Kirara with a Dratini then

.......what if fairytale nicknames, though. Or worse, art terms.

Artist names

Or that, even.

/dives headfirst into Wikipedia

I also forgot to give Yui her diary back! That's probably important. /edits into app

Because when she's inevitably drawn someone and they find the diary, it'll be a good time. /cough
