## History

### *Pre-series*

Born in Ainstar City, Corrine is the twin sister of Ailey Blakely. They grew up doing everything together, including their journeys, even though Ailey wasn't sure what she wanted to do. It wasn't until they saw the temples of Unova's Legendary Pokémon Zekrom and Reshiram, that Ailey wanted to work to become a Pokémon Professor. Corrine convinced Ailey to go for her dreams and that she would be alright by herself. While Ailey returned to Kalos, Corrine continued on her journey.

Corrine reunited with her sister during the Kanto Grand Festival where Ailey surprised her. She was also shocked learning that her little sister had a boyfriend, a trainer named Dallas Montgomery. She attended her sister's courthouse wedding and was one of the witnesses.

When she learned that Ailey went missing, Corrine stopped traveling, went a a indefinite hiatus from work, and moved in with Dallas to help him around the house and help care for a young Scarlett.
