## Personality

Jeremy used to have a friendly, upbeat personality, and saw the best in everyone. His interest in Legendary Pokémon and their lore gave him the dream of someday meeting one. He was often a source of optimism for Team Prism, supportive of members that were suffering.

Nowadays, Jeremy has become more reserved, and while he remains kindhearted, his experiences have made him more pessimistic. He has a bit of a distant personality now, and feels lost in regards to himself and fitting into the world.

## History

### Before Prism

Jeremy was born with a twin, Jemima, to parents on Sophian Island in Oblivia. Sadly, Jemima passed away far too early for Jeremy to remember her. The death tore her parents apart, and Jeremy was eventually given up for adoption.

She was adopted by Derek Teika and his husband. The trio lived happily in Tilt Village. Despite learning she was adopted, she didn't really have an interest in learning about her blood family - her two dads were all the family she needed.

### In Prism

Jeremy Teika joined Team Prism as Grunt 18 after traveling to Alola from Oblivia. Her parents wanted her to find a job, but she wanted to become a Trainer, so by joining Team Prism, she was satisfying both sides! It took a long time for her to be assigned to an Admin, but she was eventually sent to work under Admin Hallow, and thus moved to the Johto base. She grew to have a bit of a crush on the Admin, but of course said nothing.

While in Johto, 18's dream was realized - she encountered Celebi, and it let her see a bit of the past. But on the return trip, Celebi lost grip on him, and for a while, she was lost in time. Celebi recovered him, but the event gave her the ability of Time Ripple, allowing her to occasionally glimpse bits of the future. These visions couldn't really be controlled, and thus were more problematic than useful.

When Admin Hallow stepped down to be Grunt 13, 18 was left without an Admin once more. She was a little bitter about it, and stayed in the Johto base while Grunt 13 went to Sinnoh to work under Admin Minty. Eventually she got over it, and went to Sinnoh to support her friend. There, she quickly grew to utterly despise 67. When 13 confessed their feelings for 18, and they started dating, 18 felt even more inclined to protect 13, and thus she hated 67 even more.

At this point, her Time Ripple returned suddenly and with far more power than before. Each vision lasted longer, and when she woke from them, she found herself having spells of blindness. With each vision came a longer period of blindness afterward, and she was filled with the sickening realization that soon it would be permanent. Despite this, she continued to aid the Team in any way she could...though this often turned her into a "damsel in distress", as seen when former Grunt 31 used her as a hostage to prevent Admin Hallow from attacking.

After a slow fall, the relationship between Admin Hallow and Grunt 18 came to an end, as Admin Hallow found his feelings for 18 to be platonic. Though this severely dampened 18's spirits, she understood and continued to support him up until he ran away with his new partner.

### After Prism

Realizing Team Prism was perhaps not the place she was meant to be, she resigned from Team Prism, and left on a solitary Trainer's journey.

## Relationships

### Familial

Jeremy has a strong connection to both of their fathers. Sometimes, though, they feel overprotected.

### Romantic

#### Admin Hallow

The short time Grunt 18 and Admin Hallow spent as a couple was the happiest time of Grunt 18's life. They still care deeply for him, but understand that it was not meant to be, and wish him the best with his new boyfriend Edward. "If you're happy, I'll be happy."

### Platonic

#### Prism Grunt 67

In most situations, ex-Grunt 18 is endlessly forgiving, but due to how horribly Grunt 67 had hurt Admin Hallow, their heart unbreakably hardened toward Grunt 67. Even hearing what Grunt 412 said about him could not change their mind. They saw it as 67 attempting to play victim in order to gain forgiveness. They adamantly refuse to give 67 a chance, and still wish 67 would leave Prism so that he would not hurt anyone else.

#### Molly Hale

Jeremy met Molly during his journey, and the two slowly became friends. Jeremy admires her optimism and spirit, things he lost a long time ago. The two have very different personalities, but perhaps that binds them closer together, in addition to their shared love of Legendary Pokémon.

## Pokémon

#### Joy (Female Flareon)

When then-Grunt 18 first joined Prism, they had only recently acquired their first Pokémon - an Eevee named Joy. It took some time for them to trust each other, but 18's determined heart allowed them to win many battles, including against 19's Zweilous. Joy enjoyed dancing, which made 18 consider becoming a Coordinator. When they lost their sight, she took it upon herself to be their seeing-eye Pokémon. Through thick and thin, Joy has been by their side, and the pair would do anything for each other. At some point after Jeremy left Team Prism, Joy evolved into Flareon.

#### Breezy (Female Pidgeotto)

When Eva, a fellow Prism Grunt, began releasing and rehoming swarms of Pidgey, 18 immediately volunteered to take one in, and received Breezy. Breezy came to them already a decent battler, and it took a bit for 18 to earn her respect. She was the first of Jeremy's Pokémon to evolve. Unlike many bird Pokémon, Breezy is fairly quiet.

#### Thistle (Male Skiploom)

When 18 was assigned to work under Admin Hallow, they moved to the Johto base, where they often encountered swarms of Hoppip. They challenged, defeated, and befriended a very mischievous Hoppip, who they named Thistle. Thistle was known to float around the base and land on members' heads, sometimes going as far as to steal their uniform hats.

#### Tick (Bronzor)

On a trip home for the holidays, 18 spent a day exploring the nearby Daybreak Ruins, an ancient shrine to Entei, which his home worshipped. There 18 encountered and befriended a talkative Bronzor, who they named Tick after the faint clock-like noises the Pokémon emitted. Tick was especially helpful in the battle against the clone of Admin Merci, and used Ally Switch to teleport the injured to the med wing.
