• OUR LADY OF PROGRESS[break][break]
  
  

  As a HEAD SCIENTIST of TEAM ROCKET, Nomi has taken on several important initiatives to strengthen Rocket, oppose the DRK Triad (who she sees as the greatest threat to Hoenn), and better understand the strange, dangerous phenomena plaguing the region.[break][break]
  Recently, she has focused especially closely on the following subjects: the synthetic augmentation of human physiology using TERA ENERGY, the acquisition of more LEGENDARY POKEMON for Team Rocket, and, most recently (due to a mysterious field journal she brought back from the conflict at the Ancient Tomb a.k.a the GOODBYE GALAR raid), the study of INFINITY ENERGY INFUSION (fusing infinity energy into manmade objects, such as weaponry).[break][break]
  
  Through these studies, Nomi has made it her priority to work closely with other Rocket scientists (including training new science-aligned grunts), travel into the various rifts, and make pilgrimages to various locations across Hoenn in search of legendary Pokémon / the answers to awakening and/or finding legendary Pokémon (such as Moltres, Zapdos, Necrozma, and Deoxys).

• THE FAMILY WE CHOOSE[break][break]
  
  

  One of the primary themes explored through Nomi's character is that of CHOSEN FAMILY. Having grown up without parents or siblings, only a grandmother who passed away when Nomi was still a young girl, Nomi has spent the majority of her life alone. The loneliness of her childhood coupled with an introverted, nerdy, shy personality meant she wasn't exactly the best at making friends. Traumatized by abandonment and convinced she would have to face life without love and companionship beyond what her Pokémon could provide, Nomi hardened her heart, moved to Hoenn to attend graduate school, and decided to focus on her scientific work above all else.[break][break]
  
  Perhaps ironically, it wasn't until she joined the Hoenn branch of TEAM ROCKET that she started to become close with people for the first time: first, former Head Scientist Lulu Flint became her primary mentor and the older sister she'd never had. Lulu's trust in Nomi during the Meteno raid solidified their bond, and Nomi has been extremely loyal to her ever since. Her relationship with Lulu, coupled with Nomi's experience in the Ultra Deep Sea (during which Nomi found out via Cillian's memories of Kanto what happened to her parents), led her to become close with Cillian Quinn, as well (thinking of him like an older brother). After finding out Lulu had disappeared, Nomi and Cillian bonded over her loss, Cillian sharing with Nomi Lulu's real name. When Lulu returned, Nomi was overcome with emotion, relieved beyond belief to see the other woman alive and well.[break][break]
  
  Others in Rocket have also become like siblings/chosen family to Nomi: jayden cross, notably, as well as Kaname Fujihara, BARNABY FINCH, Zev Harcourt, bryan delarosa, and Felix Gallagher. Nomi tried to love Elisabeth Fiorelli, as well, but unfortunately, the other woman's heart was too far gone down the inevitable path of ruination...[break][break]
  
  And then there's Isaac Merlo, Nomi's best friend in the world, who has really helped her come out of her shell and come into her own personal power. Originally, she had a crush on him, but over time, came to realize their relationship was made much richer as a friendship than any sort of romantic bond - especially because someone else had started to capture Nomi's heart in a way she could never have expected.[break][break]
  
  Nomi's romance with parker jones has finally convinced her that she is worthy and capable of being loved. Strangely, she feels she knows Parker better than should be possible for a budding relationship...based on impressions from a time when they might have been...married? due to the strange dream-like events of the GOODBYE GALAR raid.[break][break]
  
  The events of GOODBYE GALAR - twenty years trapped in a memory of Galar - have also further complicated who Nomi considers her chosen family: vague, hazy memories of deepening bonds and growing close with League-aligned folks such as her thesis director and professor GIDEON GRAVES, as well as skyler dross, angelo vestri, and Gunner Graves (as well as collaborating scientifically with folks like FERNANDO SILPH) have sufficiently jumbled up Nomi's understanding of "family". She is currently chasing the answers to why she feels connected to these folks despite being diametrically opposed due to faction loyalties...

if an avatar, summarize how you've utilized[break]the legendary/avatarship for collaborative narrative:

• THE EYES OF GOD[break][break]
  Nomi very recently became the THE VISIONARY, the AVATAR OF THE UNOWN. This is the culmination of a nearly year-long effort on her part to befriend the Unown, believing that doing so will be the key to finding Arceus and besting the DRK Triad, thereby saving Hoenn from its predicted doomsday as the ORIGIN POINT. The more Nomi studied and interacted with the Unown, the more she came to think of them as individuals with unique personalities, as opposed to mindless cogs in the universe's wheel. Whenever she acquired a new one, she would name it and spend quality time with it. She even spent time with Rocket's FULL SET OF UNOWN, abandoned in the wake of Underboss del Mar's leaving.[break][break]
  The search for Unown rallied several others to Nomi's cause: Elisabeth Fiorelli (pre-snail), jayden cross, mint frost, Isaac Merlo, and even parker jones (despite her aversion to the floating eyeballs) have helped Nomi look for and understand the Unown. The creation of the RKS Machine further allowed Nomi to interact with the Unown via the UNOWN SIMULATION, transporting her to a version of the RUINS OF ALPH. Each time she entered the machine, Nomi couldn't help but feel as if the Unown sounded sad and lonely when they communicated with her...[break][break]
  It wasn't until her altercation with DR. NISA HOLO in the RKS Machine, in which she and Isaac Merlo were forced to fight the DRK Triad agent or be killed, that Nomi managed to finally convince the Unown (specifically, Holo's Unown-K, Kallistatus) that she loves them, sincerely wants to welcome them into her CHOSEN FAMILY (see plot above), and that she is worthy of their trust.[break][break]
  Nomi's relationship with the Unown CHALLENGE her beliefs about the universe, about the nature of Arceus, and about what's really going on with the DRK Triad and Hoenn's supposed "pre-destined" demise. As a staunch follower of the scientific method, Nomi has been forced to grapple with the supernatural and the spiritual as she has come closer and closer to finding Arceus. What does it mean to meet God? And what does it mean that their universe seems to be an anomaly, a deviation from the expected patterns of creation?[break][break]
  Nomi has so much more to learn and discover, as well as collaborate on with others, now that she has access to the UNOWN DIMENSION and a deeper bond with her beloved Unown...[break][break]
