==Trivia==
*Ryme's gym trainers are the first NPCs in Scarlet and Violet to utilize a Double Battle format in a 1v1 scenario outside of PvP.
**If the player has not bought the Teal Mask and Indigo Disk DLC, she and her gym trainers would be the only NPCs in the game that utilizes Double Battles.
*According to a book from the academy's library, Ryme had a Pokémon from her childhood, whom she strongly loved, died. She brought her grief into a song, which resulted in her deceased Pokémon to be reborn as a -type Pokémon.
*Ryme's -type preference is reflected in her affinity for rap culture. Originally Rap was invented as a form of rhythmic poetry that allowed struggling artists to express themselves, but the lack of melody and emphasis on words and beats made it sound ominous, which made it a perfect way to express strength and inflict a sense of fear in those listening. Being popular for its creepy undertones and lively grave busting beats and especially its goal of showing that those singing had nothing to fear, this is why Ryme uses Ghost types. Being the oldest gym leader and having a retired sister, Tyme, (who used Rock type formerly) also reflects the fact that Rap was most popular in the previous century, but has fallen from grace and is only remembered by the artists of the time, thus reinforcing the "undead" nature of ghost types.
