1. Was pulled out of school by her father at about the age most kids start their trainer journey. The education she missed out on was not supplemented with anything. Her reading level is a little lower than average and her general knowledge of math, science, and history are all pretty rudimentary.

2. This extends to pokemon as well. Having never attended any form of trainer school, her understanding of pokemon care and battling are limited. The former isn't much of an issue (she feeds, bathes, etc her pokemon when she does herself) but in battle she's a one trick pony -- that trick being ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK!

3. That being said, time spent with her father and on the sea have taught her a lot about boats and the ocean. These are two subjects she's actually probably ahead of her peers in.

4. Her Carvanha, Baby, was hatched from an egg that was originally meant for sale. After the buyer reneged on their deal her father gifted it to her.

5. Her Chatot, Jack, and her Vaporeon, Mama, both previously belonged to her father. As a result they're both much better trained than the pokemon she's raised herself.

6. Plank knows how to make eggs, grilled cheese, and burnt steaks. That's it. Otherwise she feeds herself with instant meals.

7. Her favorite food is cup noodles.

8. While she's lived in Hoenn for as long as she can remember, she was actually born in Johto.

9. Night terrors both make Plank reluctant to sleep and often interrupt what sleep she does get. She's learned to make up for this by napping in short bursts and trying to avoid falling into REM. It's a routine held together just barely with the help of lots of caffeine.

10. The nickname "Plank" was initially given to her by her mother. At least that's what her father always said.
