JULIE SOLETTE



TWENTY-FOUR ⟡ VARIETY VLOGGER ⟡ KALOSIAN ⟡ APP



⟡ — ⟡ — ⟡


OVERVIEW



a variety vlogger beloved for her friendliness and cute demeanor. her channel, pau & u!♥, features her beloved bewear pau as the mascot. doesn't seem like it, but is actually from a rich family that dabbles in the distribution of jewels, though keeps any mention of them off camera (and always dismisses it if people ask). gives off the impression she's ill suited for anything but fashion and all things girly, but has a hidden lust for adventure that gets her wandering from place to place.

became a vlogger specifically because she desired "connections," (something she lacked with the distance between her family members). she's notable for being outgoing and cheerful, but...

HISTORY



the second child to the solette family. due to the family's status, they conducted themselves in a reserved manner, her parents believing it to be symbolic of their wealth. as the only daughter, julie was always expected to behave prim and proper — an act she perfected. whilst behaving warmly to one another in public, the solette family very rarely interacted with one another behind closed doors. as such, julie had grown up very unfamiliar with the concepts of love and warmth.

that is, until she had visited the hoenn region, years before team rocket's return.

a part of her had always recognized she was envious of families with genuine bonds; of friendships that lacked ulterior motives; of those wrapped in affection so sweet they could cry. in a region where no one knew her name, wouldn't it be easier to grasp and understand that?

in the summer of her nineteenth year, she fell in love with consideration, shy laughs and so, so much more.

(this is still a wip hi besties)


CHARACTER NOTES



  • julie never turns off her sociable persona when around others. never. she's under the assumption that it makes her more lovable (because that's who someone fell in love with, all those years ago).
  • is basically perpetually smiling. it's her default expression, nowadays.
  • don't ask her what she's usually like because she wouldn't know how to respond. she's an amalgamation of her parents' expected behavior, the cute girl on camera and the empty confusion hidden beneath it all.
  • her elder brother is five years older and her younger brother is six years younger.
  • is actually very incredibly lonely and is always seeking acceptance. it's why the break up with her ex hit her really hard, but she doesn't exactly understand that (yet).


RELATIONSHIPS



FAMILY - can't say if she were on good or bad terms with her family, considering their interactions and bond were very businesslike. julie is keenly aware her mother and father see her brothers and herself as assets. is currently not in contact with any of them, aside from her younger brother who only informs her of the current state of affairs within the solette family.

 - the first love in question. julie still flirts and teases with her like normal, and relishes in the way mika doesn't ignore her. though, because mika is trying so hard to create distance between them, julie is trying very hard to let go. unfortunately, they both cling to a relationship long gone, so it's just an endless cycle of pushing and pulling. the origin for her current cheerful behavior, mika has never once seen julie not be bubbly and has never met her family. despite it all, mika is still julie's beloved mimi and julie is still mika's jules.

PLOT HOOKS



fellow influencers. omg, did you want to collab?! ♥ sounds good! looking forward to it! \^o^/

kalosian rich kids. childhood friends or seeing one another in passing. the julie before leaving her family seemed like a princess. who would have thought that girl would be as lively as she is now?

fashionista. well, she is from kalos! teach her about your home region's fashion trends! or, even better, go shopping with her!

genuine friends. social media makes it easy to connect with others. being an influencer makes it even easier. she doesn't let people get close to her, but it'd be nice of someone to try.

connections. good or bad, julie just wants to be connected to people. anything is better than not caring at all.

what's a date or two? so about moving on from her ex? yeah, she goes on dates here and there. want to romance her for the night? it won't go anywhere, but hey! who could pass up the chance for dinner with a cute girl?

cutting strings. she doesn't like to think about it too much, but julie is very much so still the doll her parents expected her to be. the only difference now that she's left home is that she's dancing on the world's strings. help her find herself. i'm expecting this one to be incredibly slow burn! it's difficult to unlearn two decades of one's life, after all.

who even are you? i really want someone to see the tiny cracks in her personality and call her out! it'll be very difficult to notice, so it'd definitely only be by a close friend or by someone that hates her.

battle time. julie makes it seem like she's useless in a fight and would never reveal how calculative she is. someone force her into a fight (just don't be nervous when the always smiling julie goes stoic). the team she uses will be entirely dependent on whether it's IC planned or spontaneous (though, it also depends on how well you know her too).

damsel in distress. alternatively, because julie plays up being fragile, if someone wants to swoop in and be her hero for the day, go for it.

(WHALE NOISES) im gonna add more later i just wanted to get this out there

SHIGURE URUHA


TWENTY-THREE ⟡ DAYCARE WORKER / ROCKET GRUNT ⟡ KANTONIAN ⟡ APP


⟡ — ⟡ — ⟡

OVERVIEW


an unassuming daycare worker. tends to keep to themselves, but is surprisingly popular with young pokemon. kindhearted despite their exterior, voted most likely to help a grandma cross the route forward and back (twice each, if necessary). in truth, they're a begrudging member of team rocket whom only joined out of sheer necessity. while others can easily mark it, they're efficient in their work and gets the job done. currently attempting to push down the guilt of being a rocket member whilst still retaining the warmth his adoptive mother instilled within him.

HISTORY



  • only knew his biological mother. isn't sure when, but he recalls having to stay well behaved to keep her temper at bay. when team rocket launched their ploy to take over kanto, she took it as an opportunity to leave him behind.
  • eventually was adopted by a woman that lost her son during the attack. filled the cracks in their heart with love and warmth. she'd later pass away from illness.
  • it was from his childhood friend's suggestion that they joined team rocket. at least they'd have some sort of protection being affiliated, right? (i know you hate the idea, but i'm not wrong, and you know it.)
  • and now they're here. life's a little sad like that.


i'll clean this up eventually teehee

CHARACTER NOTES



  • has a notable limp. could still probably kick ass though.
  • having been a kantonian rocket grunt before moving to the hoennian branch, shigure can be pretty straight forward in their methods. which means they can resort to violence if needed, though often prefers not to. utilizes his honchkrow for intimidation tactics, but will whip out the switchblade if necessary.
  • sprigatito and pancham were rescues during a mission. not to say he got mildly distracted or anything, but well. he got two new pokemon out of it and kicked their abusive trainers to the curb. so there's that.
  • does embroidery as a hobby. often gifts their silently adopted family members and close friends handkerchiefs they embroidered themselves.
  • dyed their hair yellow because it's a happy color. haha....
  • very complacent when it comes to stumbling into situations (as in if things happen to them, they let it be). however, is very stubborn when they've made up their mind.
  • they have no idea where their biological mother is, and while they pretend to not care, they're still trying to figure out if they want to find her
  • bless up shroc up.


RELATIONSHIPS



FAMILY - shigure's family is patchworked together through sheer trust and bond. his closest members consist of his (now deceased) mom and his childhood friend. wordlessly adopts more people though. it's obvious in how they tend to be more gentle.

@idris - shigure's childhood friend. very close to the point of knowing most anything about each other. each other's rock. despite idris' activities (pre-rocket and during), they're just satisfied with him always returning alive. owes a lot to idris, but rarely ever expresses it (shigure gets shy too...). considers idris irreplaceable, and was relieved when they transferred to hoenn together. they often video call when they get the chance. they're best friends and family.

- considers momo a younger sister and often humors her in anything she says. having grown up together in lavender town, shigure often took care of her despite her excessive energy. upon team rocket's success in kanto, they had lost contact with one another. shigure believed she was elsewhere living happily, only for them to reunite in hoenn. it should be a joyous occasion, though shigure has difficulty accepting she had to settle in hoenn of all places. not to say they're rethinking their life decisions seeing her again, but...

y/n :]

PLOT HOOKS



fellow kantonians. they can bond over losing their home. haha. and nothing else. awks...

rocket members. call him out on how kindhearted he can be. getting distracted and keeping random civilians and pokemon out of trouble isn't a one time occurrence. sucks that they're decent enough at their job that it doesn't make a difference though. doesn't change the fact it's clear they're not as invested as they should be.

daycare patrons. do you have a baby pokemon? shigure is now their parent away from home. they're very gentle with young pokemon and it shows. alternatively, if you have a big guy, shigure is literally the :stand: emoji and they'll try their best.

gardening hobbyists. it's the gap moe of a guy that looks all doom and gloom having an interest in flowers

baby attack! shigure's pokemon can be a little too rambunctious. their pichu tends to move to the beat of his own drum while both sprigatito and pancham poke their heads in places they don't belong. would not be surprised if pancham stole a berry out of someone's bag. the only reliable one on shigure's team is his honchkrow.

it's all about the comfort, dude. how can a guy dress all cool and stuff and then wear. those. a very real plot hook in which your character either judges him really hard for his shrocs or! is jealous and want a pair too. #shrocsforrocketuniform2023

anything and everything! shigure very much so lets life happen to them. they're very passive when it comes to situations occurring to them. guy that gets blown off a cliff into the ocean and just sighs about it.
