Nila

Nila's portrait art by WoolyART

Nila is an Espeon who lives in Pleada Town, first shown rescuing Kyle from drowning at the start of the story. She presents herself as calm and approachable, and aspires to be a healer.

## Appearance

Nila shares every essential physical detail and look with a regular Espeon; a quadrupedal-cat like body shape and form, blush-pink fur, a long forked tail, two puffs of fur on each side of her face, large ears and a red orb planted within her forehead which holds Psychic power, which is first utilized in Chapter 1: Kyle. Nila, notably like many of the other Pokémon in Pleada Town, is not shiny.

## Personality

Nila is shown to be a kind and caring individual, notably helping and showing worry over Kyle when he's injured after the chase between herself, Kyle, Josh, Fiona, an Assimilated Tentacool and an Assimilated Gengar. Even before getting to know Kyle, she demonstrates a friendly demeanor and attitude, saving and providing shelter for him. She wasted no time in helping defend herself and the others against their adversaries, the prior mentioned Assimilated Tentacool and Gengar, showing her willingness to protect others.

## Relationships

#### Kyle

Nila's and Kyle's friendship was first established in Chapter 1: Kyle, where Nila found Kyle in the process of drowning and saved him. After the event, Nila and Kyle immediately began a positive dynamic despite Nila's confusion about Kyle's description of what occurred prior.

#### Residents of Pleada Town

Nila shares overall positive relationships with the currently introduced characters, besides Glacie, Seth, Alita, any Pokémon having undergone the Assimilation phenomenon and Kenya. This is because Nila hasn't been established to have either met or interacted with any of the unassimilated characters and does not share a positive relationship with any of the Assimilated Pokémon, instead being heavily negative ones. If she *has* met any of these prior mentioned characters, it's currently unknown how their dynamic plays out.

## Abilities

Nila isn't shown to have any abilities exceeding that of a regular Espeon, whether it be physique or improved senses. However, she is shown using some moves that Espeon can utilize. These two moves are Protect and Psychic. It's currently unclear what other moves Nila has access to, but it's to be assumed that she can only use or wield four at a time like the Pokémon anime and games establish.

## Biography

Nila was (presumably, although unspecified) inside her home when she had heard loud cries for help. She jolted to action, soon finding an Umbreon being pulled under the water and almost drowning thanks to a Tentacool. After quickly saving it, and acquainting herself with them, they spoke and discussed where the Umbreon came from. She learned he was called 'Kyle', and offered to let him stay at her home until he could find a more permanent place to live, not understanding any information given to her about his human origin.

When at the Pleada Town market the following day, she introduces Kyle to Josh, and involuntarily to Fiona. But soon after, they are attacked by an Assimilated Gengar and the same Tentacool which attempted to drown him, clearly also Assimilated, unbeknownst to them at the moment. The short chaos caused a casualty in the form of a Pidgeot being killed and Kyle being badly wounded, losing consciousness.

After Kyle soon regained consciousness, Nila and Kyle decided it would be best to return to her home for safety after shortly introducing Kyle to Torke and Oliver whilst the town goes into lockdown.

## Trivia

* In Chapter 1: Kyle, Nila is seeing using Protect. Interestingly, Protect does not take on it's form usually depicted within the Pokémon mainline games and anime. It is usually depicted as a light blue force field, blocking all incoming attacks. Nila's, however, is a hexagonal shape and takes on a pink color. Despite this, it shares the same effect of blocking attacks.
* Nila is one of only two characters to not only appear within the ending episode credits, but on the album cover of the song used for the credits, Homesick. Kyle is the other character in question.
