Chrono Trigger Pokemon Teams: Marle

Alright, next up is the first party member obtain in Crono Trigger Princess Nadia, better known to her friends as Marle!

Vaporeon: As I said in the last one of these, I have a conceit that, at some point, Marle smuggled some eevees out of the castle as a "sorry-I-got-you-guys-into-this-mess" gift, with Marle already having an eevee and each of the eeveelutions reflecting their trainer's magic type. Hence vaporeon.

Decidueye: I think this one should be pretty obvious. Decidueye is an archer. Marle uses a crossbow. I can also see Marle, at the beginning, starting with a Dartrix, Eevee, & Kirlia, with the Kirlia being the one to help her sneak out of the castle using teleport.

Lapras: Lapras was chosen because it also fits Marle's element of water while also fitting how said elemental power manifests as ice. Also, Lapras are, at least in earlier generations, considered rare and endangered pokemon, so I could see Marle catching a Lapras after helping save some Lapras in the middle ages and getting her ancestors to pass some conservation laws so that, in 1000 AD, they're more plentiful. Also Lapras looks like a plesiosaur which calls back to how Ayla is Marle's ancestor. Granted, given how far back Ayla is, there's a good chance she's also a good chunk of the npc's ancestor, you know, given how ancestry works.

Nidoqueen: Well, I had to include SOME royalty adjacent pokemon. Marle, despite her disdain for the position, is a princess, after all. However, she's also a rebellious hellion of a princess, so I went with the most rough and tumble royal pokemon I could think of that would ABSOLUTELY piss of the royal advisors and Marle's etiquette tutors (I'm pretty sure she has those, right? I mean, it comes with the territory). I could actually see Nidoran being the first pokemon Marle actually catches on her own, since all of her other pokemon were given to her by dint of her being royalty.

Togekiss: This one is because the titular Chrono Trigger looks like an egg and Marle is sort of the defacto leader of the party after Crono's death at the nonexistent hands of Lavos. Also, Togekiss is the hope pokemon and Marle, throughout the story of Chrono Trigger, spreads hope to various people. While Crono is, of course the protagonist, its Marle who actually suggests they fight back against Lavos and refuses to give into despair. A perfect trainer for the hope pokemon. Fittingly I imagine Marle would gain Togepi after Crono dies, raising it quickly and using the most busted para-flinch serene grace strategies imaginable, since she isn't playing games anymore. Not after what happened. She can't afford to loose anyone else.

Gardevoir: Gardevoir represents Marle's healing capabilities since Gardevoir gets a variety of healing and buffing moves, like Marle. Also, Crono has a gallade so I thought it would fit what with Marle being Crono's canonical love interest. Furthermore, Gardevoirs can use teleport and Marle going into the teleport is what kicks off the whole plot. Also Gardevoir sounds kind of like Guardia which is ... you know the kingdom/city state that Marle is the heiress apparent to. Also, side note, is Marle's last name Guardia? I mean, that's how some monarchs did it in terms of last names.

A question, does Lucio's prosthetic arm work or does it just hang on his shoulder? And if the other LI lost an arm what design of their prosthetic arm would be

Honest question: have you played the game?

Not only is he posed in a lot of the art using his arm, he's often described using his arm in narration, and even purely in-universe, why would Lucio kidnap and force two alchemists to build him a prosthetic arm if it wasn't going to do anything?

But onto hypotheticals!

It's kind of cute thinking about what approaches they'd have to needing a prosthetic.

I feel like Asra's would be either made by his parents or self-made, ironically resembling Lucio's arm the most because of those influences. But it'd definitely have more interesting use in channeling magic.

Julian's would be similarly self-made/scrapped together. Lots of exposed metal and leather straps with more of a hook and crude joint than any life-like articulation. I imagine they'd be some magic element but a lot more downplayed.

In contrast, Muriel's is almost all magic. He carved the pieces himself and worked with Asra to fix it in place. While it acts a lot more like a natural arm, I think it's more prone to shorting out.

Nadia's is definitely designed by herself. Even if she had the pieces made and enchanted by other artisans, it's mechanical and elegant in a way only she could design. Like Lucio's, it can have additional covers and accesories.

And Portia's is probably the least expensive and a gift from Mazelinka. It's another case where it's magical, but Portia never knew the extent of it. It's cute, wooden, and jointed like a doll, with a practical hook, and she spent the first days with painting it.

I did a quirky little redraw of The Tower last night

Okay so there's a good chance that no one who follows me will have any idea who this is lol, this woman has made herself like half my personality for the better part of 3 years and y'all can blame @zel-zo for convincing me to even post this shfskjvbdfjkhvb

//I'm gonna take a look at those, thank you so much for sharing that content, is really helpful

Bold of you to assume we all don't want angst 👀 how about the mcs having a flashback or panic attack? Hope you're doing well!

The Arcana HCs: M6 when MC gets panic attacks/flashbacks

Part 2 is here, with MC comforting the M6 during panic attacks

CW for obvious reasons

~ quick reminder to all readers that trauma looks different in everyone and that healing is not linear, that your pain is valid even when it doesn't fit the stereotype or when somebody else "has it worse." Everyone is worthy of comfort even when there's no one to provide it. - brainrot <3 ~

Julian

He regularly wakes up in a cold sweat from his own nightmares, he can relate to at least a little bit of what's going on

That and he's dedicated his life to you, so his empathy and love for you is unmatched

If anything he's overcautious with you and you often have to remind him that you can handle it

But every now and then it happens, maybe something triggers it, maybe you just woke up on a bad day at the wrong time

His chosen profession is helping people in pain, if you think he's not dropping everything to be with you you're wrong

What he doesn't know about panic attacks he's researched, and what he couldn't find in his research he learned from what you described, and what he couldn't learn from your words he memorized in your body language

He has every mechanism down, he will lead you through breathing exercises, he will work on grounding techniques, he will talk you through every symptom and get you to the other side

Whatever it is, he's not letting you go through it alone. That's what coffee is for, right? In case his favorite patient needs him in the middle of the night and doesn't want to go back to sleep?

Asra

Why do you think they leave Faust with you whenever they go on trips?

He's already so in tune with you, he has a second sense for when you're fighting something off and no realm is too far away to reach you when that happens

As soon as you can signal that they're allowed to touch you, they will have you in their lap with a weighted blanket and one of their hands in both of yours to squeeze as hard as you need to

Will definitely use safe touch to ground you, using his fingertips to trace a box on your palms to breathe along with, rubbing your feet to warm them up and help you feel something under them

If it's a flashback, asking the quietest questions to get you out of your head. What color is their shawl? Where is Faust? How many succulents can you count on the windowsill? Which one of your hands is he touching? Which finger on that hand?

If it's a particularly nasty episode, he'll use magic to take more control of your environment, adjusting the temperature or blocking out a trigger or introducing a sound or sensation that you associate with safety and wellbeing

You never know how they do it, but there is always a steaming cup of tea on hand as soon as you're ready for it

Nadia

Panic might not be the most familiar sensation to her, but being trapped inside her own brain sure is

She specializes more in spoiling people than comforting them, but you pulled her out of the three year nightmare she was stuck in, so you can bet she's putting her all into returning the favor whenever she can

She's learned that you know what you need best, so she will follow your lead

You're having difficulty breathing? She knows how to direct you through the right exercises

You've got tears and snot all over your face? She has the softest handkerchief to wipe it away with

You need to be held? She's cradling you to her chest

Your eyes are wide and focused on some distant point? She's putting herself in your field of vision and coaxing you to focus on her

If nothing else is working, she's found she can use her gift of sight to get a better read on what's tormenting you and inform her response

Each time she'll process it with you afterwards and give you the best counsel

Muriel

Yeah, he knows those, he gets them too

He's not a professional and he doesn't have tons of resources at his disposal, but he gets what you're going through better than anyone and he's the most nurturing person you'll ever meet

His approach is generally to do all the things for you that work for him, especially since he's more of an actions than a words guy

As soon as he knows his touch won't trigger you, he'll have you in his arms, carrying you to a safe place to ground yourself (this is usually your bed)

He'll wrap the softest, thickest fur around you, sandwich you between him and Inanna, and slowly rock you back and forth like a baby

He'll put one of your palms on his chest so you can mimic his deep breathing and press a tiny wooden animal that's been saturated with myrrh into your other hand to focus on

He won't talk much, but he'll listen

If it's a bad memory resurfacing, he'll listen to every nasty detail you need to get out of your head. If it's fears or insecurities, he'll listen without judgement. If it's an incomprehensible rant, he'll listen and give you a gentle squeeze when you stop to breathe

He does also associate safety with a full stomach, so he will make you eat a double portion at your next meal

Portia

She had to readjust her assumptions at first, because her only point of reference for stuff like this is Julian's pity parties and she never had patience for those

Which did result in her quiet apology to him one evening, for never trying to get where he was coming from before slapping him out of it

She doesn't want to make the same mistake for you, so her approach is generally to make your surroundings as conducive to helping you as possible

She'll adjust the lighting, tuck a blanket around you, stuff Pepi into your lap for cuddles, bring you a handkerchief or a glass of water or one of those weird perpetual motion trinkets to focus on

She's an expert in bringing people joy, which means she's still learning how to sit with people in pain, but she's determined and she's loving and she can learn anything she puts her mind to

She also knows you well enough to trust your strength, so once she's done everything she can think of to help, she'll sit down in front of you cross-legged, her steady hands in yours, and watch you battle it out

Often that kind of empowering faith is exactly the boost you need, and you know as soon as you're ready that she has a million tricks up her sleeve to make you smile

Lucio

He's more familiar with this than you expect him to be

He spent his youth on the bloodiest part of the battlefield, and while that was his own decision, he's still haunted by some of the things that he did or had done to him

He also had his arm amputated by an apprentice doctor without anesthesia, he definitely gets his own flashbacks to that

He doesn't know how to be the safest person around, but he knows how to make you feel protected

If you're on the road or doing a job, he's pausing everything and putting all his attention on you

He's noticed what you reach for to comfort yourself with, so now he keeps a light blanket, a smooth trinket, and a soothing smell in his pouch. A good warrior knows to keep their best weapons on hand (ha, get it? hand? 'cause he's only got one? oh right you're crying shit shit shit he's got this)

Mercedes and Melchior are experts at grounding, they've been helping Lucio for years now

One of them will curl around your back, a solid warm weight to cover you, and the other will put their head and shoulders in your lap to touch and cry into

He will never make you feel small or weak about it

need someone to draw Clarisse d'Cagliostro, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Nadia la Arwall, Sōryū Asuka Langley and Princess Mononoke as a magical girl team: Clarisse in pink, Nausicaa in black, Nadia in blue, Asuka in red and San in yellow or green.

Lusheeta seems a bit too young but maybe you could have her as a chibiusa / momoe nagisa type sidekick
