**Burrito**, real name **RJ**, is the Main Protagonist of Twitch Dates Pokémon. A new transfer student from Little Cup High, Burrito finds themselves interacting with just about everyone at Twitch Academy.

## Appearance

In all of their outfits, Burrito stands out from other Espeon by having a small tuff of fur above their gem.

In their academy uniform, Burrito wears a cream sweater under a white undershirt, along with a blue bow to signify that they are a second year student.

In their casual outfit, Burrito wears a simple, white sweater.

Their formal outfit picked out during week 1's shopping scene is a dark purple vest with a ligher purple undershirt, along with a purple bow.

For their swimming clothes, Burrito wears a blue swim shirt, red swim trunks, and goggles that they put atop their eyes.

## Personality

Burrito's character is generally varied depending on the route and choices the player makes, although they usually signify traits of being an easy to get along with person who is capable of befriending even the shyest students at the Academy. If anything, the largest trait they display throughout the entire game is their love for the food burritos. Their family have a special love for the food, and are well known for their spicy salsa recipe that Burrito ends up sharing with multiple characters with varied reactions. When Burrito has time or thought to themselves, they are commonly thinking about burritos, how they taste, or the methods to create them.

## Relationships

Burrito's choice of friendships they establish at the Academy is up to the player's choice. In general, they tend to get along with everyone regardless.

In all routes, Burrito establishes a friendship with their roommate, Will, of which they have conversations with daily, with topics ranging from how their day was or will be going, or talking about their shared Psychic-type.

Burrito also has a good relationship with their Parents, as they send Burrito a new phone at the beginning of Week 2 as well as weekly supplies of their family salsa. Burrito can choose to call them daily during Week 2 if they so wish.

## History

RJ transfers to Twitch Academy at the very beginning of the game. They are a recently evolved Espeon that is often frustrated over them lacking control over their newly gained psychic abilities. After moving into their dorm alongside their roommate Will, RJ begins their days at the Academy in earnest. Thanks to a mishap from their mother, RJ's name on their registration forums was marked as 'Burrito', their childhood nickname, which Burrito decides to reluctantly keep and thus have everyone at the Academy refer to them as Burrito.
Burrito's choice of friendships, along with the path they take at school (and maybe gaining a special someone,) is dependent on the player's decisions for them.

## Origins

*For more information, refer to Burrito's page on Helixpedia*

In Twitch Plays Pokémon, Burrito was the Eevee obtained from Bill in Goldenrod City during the Crystal Playthrough. The name 'Burrito' had controversial origins stemming from the Google Doc used to display information about the playthrough, but ended up sticking. He was characterized as the positive force among the final party, having evolved into an Espeon after he learned to grow past the shadow of the previous Eeveelution, a Flareon.

Burrito was infamous for knowing the move Attract, which was commonly used against opponents regardless of gender. This tie to being a symbol of love is what made Burrito end up as the Protagonist of Twitch Dates Pokémon. While Burrito is male in the original run, in Twitch Dates Pokémon their gender is never specified, leaving it up to the player's belief about their gender and sexuality. Their real name, RJ, stems from the in game nickname within the original playthrough, AAAS  **RJ**-I.

## Trivia

* According to 7, the names of Burrito's parents are Roger and Jane. This would make Burrito's real name, RJ, be based on the initials of his parents in-universe.
