Though Ettie was a bit of a nomadic wildchild, Fortree was one of the few haunts that she tended to linger around a little longer than others. It was closest place to the wilds that her original pack lived amongst, after all; it also was home to a dear friend, in Julia Davis - someone that Ettie would happily regard as family, given that she was the first human that Ettie had ever seen in a long time when they first met, and also that she was the one who inspired Ettie to go out and see the world.

So, was it any surprise, when she'd end up hearing of a certain school that also rested nearby?

Ettie wasn't sure of all the details - just that it was a school, and to do with swords! That maybe flew? She wasn't sure if there were any human swords that liked to fly around... But as far as pokemon went, Scarlet - her doublade - did a lot of floating; which, that counted as flying, right? So maybe this was the perfect school for the both of them!

It'd likely be a bit of a startling sight, to look out one's front door and see a number of canid pokemon gathering in one place. Ettie didn't tend to use a PC, and pokeballs were less a rule and more of a suggestion for her - only ever recalling one of her packmates if they needed some rest, or if it wasn't safe for them to be out and about. As a result, she and her pokemon moved in one big group, going from place to place. There was strength and safety to be had in numbers, after all.

But as far as actually entering the school went, only a handful of the pack would go in alongside Ettie.

Scarlet the Doublade - a shiny, sized somewhere at the cusp between a pair of daggers and a pair of shortswords, with particularly long flowing tassels - sheathed at the small of Ettie's back.

Anne the Dusk Lycanroc - a rather large wolf, large enough for someone to ride atop, staring distrustfully at anyone who got too close - following close to Ettie's side.

Haru the Delphox - hanging towards the back of the group with an almost shy demeanor, and yet curiously observing her surroundings.

Anat the Lucario - following on the opposite side of Ettie to Anne, watching any demonstrations or lessons that may be going on.

Mina the Rockruff - the smaller pup seemingly lost in her own world, even as she follows after the group diligently.

And finally, Delle the Marshadow - who remained hidden in Ettie's shadow, even as her eyes closely watched their surroundings with a similar-yet-different sort of curiosity to that of Haru.

A colorful group, to say the least - though of the pokemon who were actually visible, there was little doubt as to what variety of pokemon Ettie tended to favor. What would they come to see, in entering Flying Sword School?
