#(looking for a pryce rper to change the narrative....)

[draconscious]

When I first started this blog many moons ago, I envisioned Clair and Whitney having a very antagonistic relationship because of Whitney's (unfair) association with the Dratini-selling Game Corner and their clashing personalities.

However, as I've fleshed out Clair's character more (and gotten the honor of writing with more fantastic Whitneys--hi @doubleslapped) over the years, I've totally changed course on this position. Clair now sees most of her Gym Leader colleagues in a favorable light (sorry Pryce), and Whitney is no exception to her perception shift. She views Whitney as a close friend, confidant, and often relies on the Goldenrod Gym Leader's sunny personality to get her through a tough day (or drag her out of her shell.) Sure, Whitney can be too much for the prickly tamer sometimes, but she has long earned Clair's respect, and that's an admirable feat in itself.

Whitney deserves her flowers. That Miltank is strong.
