Navi (Caterpie)

*"Oh golly... I am glad you are alright, because you are alright, right? You didn't hurt yourself too badly?"*

## Appearances

### Debut

Prologue

Navi is a starter pokemon that trainer Greg received in the prologue. She is one of the first pokemon to make an official appearance in the story. She was confirmed to have timid nature by the developers.

## Personality

While Navi's actual age is unknown, she seems to be a rather innocent individual with a lot of child like wonder. Despite her rather shy nature, she can also turn into a chatterbox when the conversations starts. However, she has a tendency to ramble and talk too quickly. She startles easily, reacting immediately to any kind of danger. The Caterpie also seems to often worry about those around her, resulting in her often asking abotu their well being.

Navi is also a loyal pokemon. Without much battle experience, she bonded easily with her trainer and pokemon in her group. Wanting nothing more, but to properly fit in inside said group. She reacted positively at the mention that her trainer considered her a friend.

Despite her fears, she tries to challenge them. She knows that while her fear of birds is reasonable, it shouldn't apply to bird Pokemon who mean her no harm.

## Appearance

Navi resembles a regular Catepie. Her skin is a bit lighter when compared to most Caterpies. She is also slightly shorter than the norm.

## Relations

### Trainer Greg

Navi is Greg's starter Pokemon. Despite the two not knowing each for too long, the two instantly grew attached. Despite this, Greg is not used to owning a Pokemon, he sees his pokemon as a dog in a body of a caterpillar and finds her adorable. He enjoys having her on the shoulder and petting her, but he struggles in understanding her.

Navi on the other hand is extremely loyal and takes her job as a starter pokemon extremely seriously. She wants to be seen as a guardian of some sorts. it is unknown why it is so important to her. Despite this, she lacks confidence and startles easily. Her motivations are unknown, but in one dialogue with Putena she said "...Miss Fairy said that we need to... uh... get things in motion.". The identity of the "Miss Fairy" isn't confirmed as for now.

### Putena

Putena seems to be a good and supportive friend, the two get along nicely. Putena is often the one to start a conversation, which causes Navi to rumble and become more talkative than she normally is.

### Midna

Midna, despite her chaotic behaviour, is yet another pokemon that is supportive towards Navi. The two shared a conversation about their dreams, with Navi wanting to grow wings one day. Despite this, Navi finds Midna unpredictable and it can sometimes be terrifying for her. She secrately admires her confidence.

### Pidlad and Swablu

Navi has a fear of birds because of her upbringing. She believes that bugs and birds don't get along and fears getting attacked by one of them. Both Pidlad and Swablu have been docile with her. Navi seems to be aware that her fear can be irrational at times, it might mean that the three might become friends later on.

### Sasha

Sasha has been a good friend to Navi. At first seeing Sasha's leaf made Navi think of food, which caused her to grow nervous. However, instead of feeling uncomfortable, Sasha just didn't think much of it. Sasha seems eager to talk to Navi, which will most likely help them grow closer.

### Orchidly

The two didn't have a chance to talk much. However, Orchidly was yet another Pokemon, after Sasha, to remind Navi of food. Nothing bad happened to Orchidly.

### Fluffy

The two didn't have a chance to talk to each other. The sheep Pokemon seems very supportive of his trainer, which Navi respects.

## Trivia

* Navi is named after Navi the fairy from "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time". Greg mentions in the Prologue how her name is a "cool game reference that will make sense in the near future.". He most likely implied how Caterpie's final form, Butterfree has some visual similarities to the fairy character. Caterpie also seems to use similar phrases such as 'watch out".
* Midna is another pokemon to have a name after a character from "The Legend of Zelda" franchise.
* Navi was compared to a puppy by Greg because of how she occasionally wags her tail like one
* Navi's concept art got leaked before the release of the game, which revealed that she would have yellow wings as a Butterfree. It is unknown if other Butterfrees in the region are known of having yellow wings.
* Navi seems to know the most about the "mission" starter Pokemon were given
