**Air** is one of the main characters of Twitch Dates Pokémon. A prodigy Ultraball player, Air is believed by many to be the academy's rising star athlete.

## Appearance

Being a Lapras, it is hard to find clothing that fits Air. As a result, she wears the least amount of clothing out of the main cast members. Her trademark is a red headband she wears a majority of the time.

For her uniform, she only wears the red tie that signifies her as a third-year student. When at swim class, she wears either a whistle or goggles around her neck.

In her casual outfit, Air drops her headband and instead wears a gray beanie along with a simple gray scarf.

## Personality

Air is said to radiate a very cool aura around her. She is very proud of her athletic abilities and loves engaging in challenges that test herself. She has a strange fascination with water which tends to lower her sense of awareness, to the point where when she first meets Burrito she suddenly decides to jump into the pool against Ms. Misty's directions.

## Relationships

Air is best friends with Fonz, with both of them being active members of the Sports Club. They enjoy hanging out together both on and off campus during the weekends. Both Air and Fonz are also friends with Gator, although they are not as close with him as they are with each other.

Air finds a kindred spirit in Arc, where they once had a pun-off during a lunch break. As a member of the Ultraball Varsity, Air is also friends with all of her fellow teammates.

## History

Air is the only junior in the Ultraball Varsity team. As a result, everyone at the Academy has high hopes for her.

## Origins

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

Air Jordan was the Lapras obtained at Silph Co. during the Twitch Plays Pokémon Red playthrough. Very early on in the run did players realize they would need to obtain a Pokémon that could learn surf to progress later on, and the candidates included the Lapras that would become Air, since it was easy to obtain as it did not have to be caught. After the failure of hoping for a Vaporeon to fulfill the role of surf user, players obtained AAIIRR and taught it surf and strength. Unfortunately, Air was underleveled as soon as it was obtained and never had much use in battle.

Air Jordan was commonly depicted with a basketball due to being associated with NBA player Michael Jordan, and was commonly called the prince to Fonz's king in reference to the TV show the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

After the run was completed and the save file was released to the public, players discovered that Air was actually a female, not male as she was originally perceived as.

## Trivia

* Air is infamous for being one of the easiest routes to unlock. She requires the least amount of points to unlock her special scene in Week 1, and in the original release of Week 2, was the default route the player is led towards if no other route conditions were met. This frustrated players, who referred to it as 'Airblocking', and the updated release of Week 2 fixed this problem as well as adding a joke ending in reference.
