Lightning, commonly known as Light, is a post-Arcane protagonist in Nightfall.

## Appearance

Similarly to his brother Axl, Light's difference in looks is color, but the variation is much greater. All of his colors are darker, exactly matching a Gallade's colors rather than the lighter tone of a Gardevoir's. This major disparity makes him easy to spot amongst a crowd.

## Personality

Light is mostly seen as a very aloof and reserved Pokémon, sometimes considered unfriendly and a bit of a jerk by others. However, underneath this unapproachable display, shows that Light is kindhearted and understanding, often approached by his friends or brother, mostly, for comfort or advice. He's only distant to those he doesn't trust or know well, though he tends to act this way towards his sibling too.

The Fairy-type is laid-back and calm, and his persistent laziness usually frustrates his younger brother. Despite his normal relaxed disposition, when it comes to an important situation, Light is serious and level-headed. In the face of danger, he's willing to protect others, even if it means getting injured in the process. When confronted by another person, he's not afraid to fight. Light isn't easily fazed and is able to stand his ground.

Light's extremely protective of Axl and doesn't want him in any battles or conflicts due to his former inability to fight for himself. Even when the Gallade grew older and more battle-experienced, he still kept a watchful eye on him. Albeit always being teased and annoyed by Axl, he cares deeply for his younger sibling and hates to see him upset. Light was usually the one to fight off other Pokémon who made fun of his brother, not caring if he got in trouble. As expected from siblings, Light is also guilty of teasing Axl and picking fights with him, though it's never taken seriously.

He's often mistaken as a female because of his species, which easily ticks him off anytime it happens. He also quickly gets irritated when he's picked on because of his "misleading" appearance.

## History

The Psychic-type hatched from his egg on December 10th, the first child to Glaze and Crystal. He was very playful and loved to get attention from his parents and their friends. It was quickly realized that, like Glaze, the Ralts had Aura abilities. He possessed an unusually powerful strength, even from such a young age.

A few years later, his brother Axl, was welcomed into the family. Ever since Light heard of the news, however, he was immediately angered, claiming that he didn’t want a sibling. He frequently picked on the younger Fairy-type, called him names, and tried to stay away from Axl as much as possible. It took a while, but he finally adjusted to Axl’s presence and accepted him as his sibling. They were rarely seen apart after, and Light trained Axl until they both evolved.

### Evolution

When the Kirlia was 15, he was out in the field near his home, training with Axel. After Axel was knocked down to the ground by an attack, Light started to glow.

Before he knew it, he had evolved into a Gardevoir. However, he was instantly distraught and in disbelief, freaking out over his new form. All his life, he’d wanted to find a Dawn Stone and become a Gallade like his father, but his hopes were shot down. It didn’t help that, a few months later, Axl found a Dawn Stone and evolved into a Blade Pokémon. Envious of Axl, Light returned to his old ways and didn’t want anything to do with his brother, but their rivalry soon died down.

Light was still unhappy about his new self, despite Crystal always telling him that it was okay. He didn’t like to be out in public, where most of the Pokémon would assume he was a female. This was part of the reason for his standoffish behavior. He's still a bit uncomfortable with his looks, but had gotten used to it overtime.

### Glaze's death

When Light and his family were outside, training in a field, disaster struck. Both he and Axl witnessed Lance's fatal attack unleash towards their father. Due to the power of the poison, Glaze was killed in seconds. The siblings were left traumatized by the incident, though Light tried to handle it as maturely as possible. He and Axl had developed frequent nightmares about it ever since, and he's not willing to talk about it to anyone except his family.

## Additional Information

Light is capable of Mega Evolving without any side-effects, but prefers not to. Axl's Mind Plate was given to him after Axl learned how to Mega Evolve.

Light inherited Glaze's Aura powers. The Gardevoir is always trying to improve his skills of the ability, and its powers range from forming simple shapes, miniature Pokémon, and making "laser pointers", to creating Aura Spheres, Projections, and using Aura Vision.

He has a much stronger physical endurance than most other Embrace Pokémon, able to carry Pokémon or items that are around his weight or a bit heavier. Being attacked, thrown into something, or falling from a significant height will not faze him easily. Even if he does feel pain, he’ll get right back up and continue fighting.

## Trivia

* He was named after one of his parents' friends, Lightning the Amber Zoroark. To avoid confusion between the two, the Psychic-type was given the nickname Light.
* Light prefers not to Mega Evolve due to his appearance. Also because of his looks, he wants to avoid being made fun of by Axl since he "looks like a girl" in his brother's words.
* Due to being isolated from humans, Light and his brother have never met a human, nor seen one in person.
