Adelaide Whiteley

Adelaide Whiteley was born in Ballonlea City to a prestigious family, where she was expected to follow in her father’s footsteps as a knight. Trained in swordsmanship and archery from a young age, Adelaide’s natural talent with the bow made her second to none. However, her heart was always drawn to the wilds of Glimwood Tangle, where she often escaped to explore and connect with nature. After a heated argument with her father, Adelaide chose to leave her family and pursue a life of freedom. Now a wanderer, she traveled across various regions before finding her place in Hoenn, where she was encouraged to join the Pokémon League after befriending a wild Luxray. Adelaide is a character driven by a need for independence, a deep connection with nature, and a desire to protect those who cannot protect themselves.

Motivations: Seeking purpose, protecting the wilds, proving her worth outside of her father’s legacy.
