“I really would rather not go somewhere so frigid, but if that is where everyone has decided to congregate...” He sighs. “I am still having second thoughts. Could we not pick somewhere a little... warmer?”

"Ghost-types are the cutest and the best. Look at him," she holds up a Mimikyu, "trying to look under a Mimikyu's disguise literally kills you. Messing with a ghost in general literally will kill you. Usually in a slow and painful manner. Plus, we're already dead so... you can't do much to us there."

johto gym leaders 🤝 working too hard, carrying heavy societal burdens/expectations, sacrificing their own well-being for others and/or the 'greater good,' etc. etc.

As a frequent visitor to Ecruteak and its Gym, Clair has taken countless tumbles into the darkness trying to locate Matsuba's whereabouts. Due to her headstrong, impatient nature, this will continue to happen.
(And every time it does, Matsuba will get an earful, shoulder punch, or both. He and his mediums could at least tell her when the puzzle changes...)

bit late to the party on this one, but...
Tumblr media
Clair is strong like a professional athlete at the top of their game (sharp, disciplined, jacked.)
Tumblr media
Eris/Jupiter is strong like a madcap genius frantically trying to discover/hoard everything before time runs out (manipulative, insatiable, diabolical.)
Neither of these active muses are the most skilled trainers (even though Clair's dragons can duel with the best) but they are terrifyingly strong in other ways. A shared trait between them (and all of my muses, tbh) is that they may lose, but they always dust themselves off and rise again. They never relax or take a single grain of time for granted, gazes always fixed firmly upon their goals.
They will never, ever give up.

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.

ooc. One rule that I try to hold all of my muses to: it is so important that they do not know everything.
All of my muses have blind spots, weaknesses, and flaws, and I don't think I've ever been shy about showing them. For example, Clair is an expert dragon tamer, but her knowledge of Pokemon's dragons isn't absolute because she's a bit of a Den recluse. She's extremely strong-willed and stubborn, but her worldview is also extra narrow because of her upbringing within the Clan. Over the years of playing her, I've had a lot of fun writing Clair coming out of her shell, asking other muses for help, and discovering new dragons/Pokemon in other regions. That kind of growth wouldn't be possible if she just knew everything from square one, and each new experience adds to her complexity. Displaying a character's flaws (and how they work to improve them) is pretty cool imo, and makes for more interesting development/interaction opportunities.
Of course, over the years, I have noticed a certain reluctance to show muse flaws/failures (not just in strength, but in knowledge as well) within IC interactions, not just ooc discussions. When I write with somebody, I always try to give them an opportunity for their muse to shine and do something cool (even if it means putting my character at a disadvantage), and I love it when that attitude is reciprocated and I get to show Clair being the badass dragon tamer that she is. There's a give and take compromise to agency within interactions, and I think it all starts with muses being more transparent about their knowledge gaps and shortcomings. Let my character learn from yours, and let your character learn from mine.
As the old saying goes: you teach me and I'll teach you.

<- never had a Slowpoke Tail, because (1) it's an overly-expensive delicacy, and (2) her diet--especially growing up within the Clan's training routine--is heavily regimented and optimized for performance above all else. No room in the meal plan.
