Olivia Ross

Olivia (more commonly known as "Liv") is a Pokémon Trainer with the Hobbyist class.

## History

Liv was born and raised in rural Unova. Her family owns and operates a Rescue and Rehabilitation Center, where they care for injured/sick Pokémon that are either wild or abandoned. She grew up helping to care for the rescues in the sanctuary alongside her older sister and twin brother, whom she was usually very dependent on. Liv grew up with a love for Pokémon and learning about them, and often stuck her nose into her parents' old notes and study books when she wasn't actively caring for them.

As she and her siblings grew older, her sister began researching Pokémon as a professor in-training, and her older brother departed on a journey to challenge the Unova League. With no major ambitions of her own, Liv spent a lot more time working at home as she figured out what she wanted to do with herself. After hearing many stories of her siblings' achievements, she finally resolved to travel to the Kairos Isles (at the recommendation of one of her sister's colleagues) and begin a journey of her own.

## Appearance

Liv is a short, light-skinned girl with freckles and dark blue eyes. Her hair is long and blonde, frequently being tied back to keep out of the way. She has seemingly very little physical prowess, apart from stamina.

Her outfits vary depending on the activity, but she usually wears practical clothing such as shorts or overalls and boots. While indoors, she tends to wear oversized hoodies.

## Personality

Liv is generally polite and empathetic, though she isn't very confident when it comes to social situations. She tends to be more interested in her own studies than branching out and trying new things, but she's making an active effort to change that for herself and her Pokémon's sakes. She gets easily flustered and discouraged, usually the first to point out the flaws in a plan and make efforts to correct them before they have the opportunity to go awry. She prefers to spend more of her time with Pokémon as opposed to people, but she isn't unfriendly by any means.

## Ace Pokémon and Team

Liv has no "real" preference when it comes to Pokémon types, but she tends to gravitate towards ones that are cute, cuddly or otherwise portable. She names all of her team members after plants (usually flowers).

### Main Team Members:

#### Dahlia (Starter/Ace)

Liv's Eevee, and the first Pokémon she's ever obtained. She has a Hasty nature and a knack for causing unnecessary trouble. Unlike her trainer, Dahlia has a strong interest in battling. She was gifted to Liv as an egg by her older sister. Liv still hasn't decided what to evolve Dahlia into, or whether she will evolve her at *all*. The two have a strange dynamic, often at odds in terms of what to do and where to go, but their relationship is undeniably positive. Abilities include: Stealing wallets, knife fights.

#### Oleander

Liv's Dartrix, which she caught as a Rowlet in the woodlands of Pampa Island. He has a Mild nature. Abilities include: rescuing eggs.

#### Lily

Liv's Gastrodon, which she caught as a Shellos on the beaches of Sanctuary Island. She has a Composed nature and is in West Sea form (pink). Abilities include: picking locks and lava-proofing shoes.

#### Vriesea

Liv's Ceruledge, which she caught as a Charcadet during a quest inside Hima Island's volcanoes. She has a Gentle nature and a strong desire to impress. Abilities include: sword fighting, eating pastries (despite being a nullivore).

#### Sakura

A Shiny, "Cherry Blossom" Leafeon that Liv caught as an Eevee during an Easter Egg hunting quest. He's pink! He was befriended by Dahlia (Liv's starter) before being caught, and is kept in a Friend Ball. He has a Dreamy nature. Abilities include: napping.

#### Aster

Liv's Rotom, which she received for attending the Kairos Championship Finals match. It resides primarily inside her newly-upgraded Rotom Phone (which is adorned by a Komala Log-themed phone case), but it frequently exits the device to assist her. It has a Lonely nature.

### Notable Pokémon:

#### Hibiscus

Liv's Shuckle, and the first Pokémon she caught in the Kairos Isles. She has a Calm nature. She was caught on the beaches of Sanctuary Island. Catching Hibiscus has sparked Liv's interest in making Berry Juice.

#### Allium

Liv's Swablu, which she obtained after the events at the Kairos Championship Finals match. She has a Distracted nature.

### Others (Unnamed):

Starly, Electrike, Nickit, Pawniard, Vulpix, Furfrou, Fidough, Cutiefly, Flabebe, Tinkatink, Galarian Meowth, Hisuian Sneasel, Cyclizar

## Goals

Liv's primary goal during her journey is to discover more about herself and grow as a person. She's still struggling to live so far away from her family, and is trying to gain more independence and confidence when making decisions for herself. She wants to learn more about the region and the Pokémon in it. Liv thus far has had little interest in battling, but she wants to try to at least get *one* gym badge and battle for the sake of her partner Pokémon.

Her short-term goals are usually fueled by curiosity; if she sees something she doesn't know a lot about, often times she will seek to learn more about it through books or observation.
