Glinda Saturnin

**Glinda Saturnin** is a Cipher Peon and Scientist. Her duties are mostly related to helping in the lab and in battle strategies. In battle, she prefers coming up with methods that focus on unexpected or rarely-used gimmicks. Her battle team greatly varies from strategy to strategy, and as such, she carries far more Pokémon than the legal six.

### Relatives

Avery Saturnin (twin sibling)Elizabeth Saturnin (younger sister)

## Personality

Glinda is often lost in thought, her mind constantly flitting back and forth in order to analyze a problem from all sides. As such, she is easily distracted. The distraction makes it rare for her to utilize her true psychic abilities. She can be a bit unintentionally arrogant at times, and frequently forgets that she is not of the same rank as her superiors.

She is usually calm and collected, but in times of stress her true power-hungry nature shows. Bursts of frustrations accompany every loss, followed by intense focus on forming better strategies for next time.

## History

Growing up, Glinda was the childhood rival of Fen. Never managing to win in their battles is what first gave Glinda a thirst for power.

As with the rest of her family, she was training in psychic abilities such as telekinesis and teleportation. When Avery left to continue their training on the Isle of Armor, she stayed behind, putting her Trainer journey on hold to help take care of Ellie.

One night, while working, Glinda was seized by violently painful migraines. When she returned home, she found that Ellie and their parents had been murdered. The killer has yet to be found.

After living in the now empty home for a few years, she and her partner Gardevoir left to finally begin their journey again. In their quest for strength, they eventually encountered Lovrina, who demonstrated the power of Shadow Pokémon, and lured them into joining Cipher.

## Relationships

### Familial

#### Avery

Glinda and Avery keep in touch, but rarely meet face-to-face. They sometimes go for weeks without contact, knowing their psychic connection would alert them if something was truly wrong. That being said, Glinda does miss her sibling.

#### Ellie

Glinda loved her little sister dearly. Even now, she is haunted by nightmares of her sister's death, and wakes with tears streaming down her face.

### Romantic

Glinda has never had a romantic partner, and she is not particularly interested at the moment.

### Platonic

#### Freida Agire

Glinda sees it as a bit of a waste to give Shadow Pokémon to someone who can't even command them. She has yet to voice this opinion, however.

#### Fen

After being rivals since childhood, she is disgusted that someone with Fen's skill would just throw it all away, especially for being "too good". She takes Fen's retirement from battle as an immensely conceited move.

## Pokémon

#### Celeste (Female Shadow Gardevoir)

Celeste was Glinda's first Pokémon, being raised from a Ralts alongside her. She is the only Pokémon to consistently remain on Glinda's active team. When they joined Cipher, Celeste willingly volunteered to become a Shadow Pokémon. Though Glinda secretly hated the idea, Celeste was Shadowed. Before, Glinda could command Celeste telepathically, but the Gardevoir's corrupted soul would be far too dangerous to connect her mind to.

#### David (Male Rattata)

Fittingly named after the boy who slayed the giant, he is primarily used in 1-V-1 battles. A bit proud of his power.

#### Cheery (Male Raichu)

Cheery is the jolliest Raichu around. He's sometimes called The Rat as an affectionate nickname. Part of a new strategy Glinda is developing, he works best in double battles.

#### Madame (Female Bibarel)

Madame is a motherly figure to the newly caught Pokémon, having a very comforting presence and personality. However, she can still hold her own in battles, and is best in single battles.

#### Raziel (Female Trevenant)

Very quiet, unwittingly eerie. She is usually seen in double or triple battles, alongside Celeste and Sorsha.

#### Sorsha (Polteageist)

Sorsha is a bit of a clean freak, constantly working to keep their teapot in tip-top condition. They are usually seen in double or triple battles, alongside Celeste and Raziel.

#### Penny (Female Boltund)

A happy-go-lucky dog trained for maximum speed.

#### Bounce (Female Azumarill)

Proud of her power. Usually seen alongside Martigan.

#### Martigan (Bigender Passimian)

Protective of Bounce, though she need not be. Is comfortable with both he and she pronouns.
