Appearance:Thahn is a tall old man in his early sixties with long white hair tied in a low ponytail, light brown eyes,
pale wrinkled skin, and a small white beard. He often wears a simple white t-shirt with dark pants and shoes.
Having almost an obsession with gardening, Thahn always has on a hunter green gardening apron with darker pockets.
Background:Thahn grew up in Cerulean City, watching as the world went by. He was never the strongest child out there, so he often resorted to other activities like drawing and reading to satisfy his needs. It wasn't until his mother encouraged him to come and garden with her that Thahn found his true passion. While he did enjoy pokemon and their company, he knew battling was not for him. Day after day, week after week, Thahn would spent his time, and evidently the rest of his life, gardening. He met plenty of pokemon that would stumble into his parents garden and play with them before heading back inside. This garden is also where he caught his lifelong friend Hana the Oddish (now Bellossom).
Fast forward a few years to when Thahn has his son, or Kaleo's father, Alto. Alto had to be the exact opposite of Thahn, as all he wanted to do was go out and battle pokemon. Not battle WITH pokemon, but physically attack them. Luckily, he was also a very weak child and could never do much against the small pokemon that would come by his garden. Thahn noted Alto's resolve to be a trainer and battle other pokemon, that he helped his son catch his first pokemon in the very same garden that he caught Hana. Once he was old enough, Alto went out on his own journey, leaving Thahn and his wife back at home.
The days without Alto had been slow and quiet, while the ones where he had come back to visit and tell stories of his adventures had been filled with excitement and joy. One of those days in particular showed Thahn how much of a man Alto had become. He brought home a girl with absolutely stunning teal eyes, brown hair and tan skin; her name was Kanon. Thahn knew right off the bat that they would stay with each other forever, and to this day, he still believes in that statement.
It was a bit of a shock, when the next thing he hears about Alto is through letter and in the form of a mere toddler handing it to him. Kaleo, only being a few years old was supposedly abandoned by Alto and Kanon, but Thahn knew better. Instead of asking, Thahn took the child in, one that was much more like him than Alto was. He stayed inside all the time, never spoke and read books all day until he passed out. He was a strange child indeed, one that Thahn vowed to keep safe until he was old enough to go out into the world just like Alto did.
Pokemon:As stated in the background, Thahn pokemon of choice is Hana the Bellossom. Kaleo absolutely adores the small flower pokemon and would do anything to keep it safe. Hana would often try to get Kaleo up and about instead of reading all the time, and Kaleo almost always falls for it. Whenever the later is sad, Hana gives as many cuddles as possible until he feels better. Hana basically acts like an older sibling to Kaleo.
