making Pandora just like genesis but louder and a little more tame because she never got to be on the farm, but she did grow up in the city so maybe she's not feral but she's still a menace

and then the haha oh no. the fear of anyone who knew Genesis, seeing them in this kid and just silently praying that history doesn't repeat itself.

Quick question for future reference : Is Mari plus size?

Oh! Mari isn't necessarily skinny but also not too chubby. She's basically in between.

She has some scars from demon fights !!!

thinking REAL hard about Rosa now.

she's an autistic child who puts on several masks to appear allistic and not, well, autistic when she is. especially due to past ostracization by her peers because of her neurodivergency. her special interests are movies but specifically pokestars studios and children's movies and was made fun of because of the movies she liked, starting to become embarrassed by her special interest and therefore masking even harder and starting to look at everything she enjoyed in a highly critical light which leads into looking at herself in a highly critical way.

and by masking, she not only makes herself appear allistic, but turns her true emotions off and internalizes them, favoring them for false positivity.

this doesn't help that a lot of her opinions are very black and white and right and wrong to her. so when the events of bw get several movie adaptations, the one she enjoys and praises the most is the one that potrays n, cheren, and team plasma as unredeemable bad guys due to her existing biases with hilda and cheren. hilda being her babysitter who actually validated her interests and the like, while she just had a bad encounter with cheren that severely soured her opinion of him.

(one of bw's plot points is that the brothers had confidants who shared the story because regular people couldn't know back then, but now everyone can know due to modern technology and form an opinion without having to hear it from an already biased narrator. that's for a different post though.)

but then she moves to aspertia from nimbasa and SUDDENLY her teacher is cheren, someone she hates, who is also a gym leader and alder's student which sours her opinion of the league. because cheren was evil, he's going to hurt someone, (in her eyes at least).

but before receiving her trainer permit from professor juniper and cheren agreeing to be her mentor and observer (with reluctant, occasional assistance from bianca requested by the professor), she spends her entire time masking including her negative moments with cheren. constantly critiquing herself and everything she interacts with, making herself feel smaller and smaller mentally.

and when she's at her lowest, in front of her teacher, her glasses shatter by a stray icicle when cheren has an attempt on his life by ghetsis and kyurem, which happened because he was trying to help her through a meltdown as hilbert (who is now awaken from cryosleep) n and hilda (nate and bianca are currently helping out in other areas) try to fight him off, making him an easy target and one less nuisance in ghetsis’s way. (he doesn’t die, kyurem missed what was important, but it still incapacitated him and rosa doesn’t realize he’s still alive until after)

shocking both rosa, and the people fighting him, making her completely emotionally broken as she tries to process what happens, as the others one by one fall like dominos. until there’s no one else, but her, and her ever blurry vision made worse by her tears and her screaming. ghetsis then starts to gloat, not even bothering with her because of her completely broken state.

but while ghetsis is gloating, and rosa realizes at that point only she can take on ghetsis and kyurem, she gets to her feet with nothing but the pokemon beside her, including the not quite equally small keldeo (but still small in comparison to Keldeo). and she has to overcome her feelings of smallness and internal hatred of herself, for being the way she is, and acknowledging she's bigger and stronger and there's nothing wrong with herself. because if there was something wrong with her, then she wouldn't be facing down a legendary pokemon with keldeo by her side, when these strong people she both despised at some point, and held virtuous too, can't fight anymore. and the world and herself isn’t truly as black and white as she looks at it, as this person she viewed as bad for so long wouldn’t have spent what could’ve been his last moments trying to help her through her lowest moment.

and while her glasses have broken, so too has her view of the world. and her vision in that sense has become clearer.

as a metaphor to show her resolve and her realizations, keldeo transforms to its resolute form, and together they take down the evil.

and she overcomes not only ghetsis, kyurem, her feelings of self hatred, but also her black and white thinking and realizes there's more to people than what may seem to both movies and her own biases.

this is also why ego rock by surii is a very good song for her

a song about putting on masks, personas, hiding your true self in front of people who would look down on you in favor of what’s appealing but feeling awful in the process, especially with the number of fronts Rosa tries to put up. the theme of self hatred and guilt over it is apparent if you analyze the lyrics.

anyways

I wish we had more female characters like Eleanor Shellstrop. One of the most unlikable people you've ever met. Read a Buzzfeed article on most rude things you can do on a daily basis and decided to use that as a list of goals. Makes everyone's day worse just by being there. Dropped a margarita mix on the ground and tried to pick it up, only to get hit by a row of shopping carts which pushed her into the road where she was hit by a boner pill delivery truck, killing her instantly. Cannot keep a romantic partner despite being bisexual. Had a terrible childhood but will die before she gets therapy. Best employee at a scam company. Just the worst but also can't help but root for her to improve.

Absolute loser. Girl-failure. Bad at almost everything. Literally perfect female character.
