Keiko Otoru
It's totally normal for girls my height to be this short! Don't even start this argument or Celeste will pound you up!Age: 13
Gender: Female
Keiko is normally serious yet optimistic. Despite that she can be fairly relaxed and enjoys watching the clouds float by while petting her mothers Pokemon Oricorio. Her mums' Oricorio is of the Sen'Su variety and Keiko took up his style. Everyday she wears a homemade Kimono sewn together with local fibres sold in Alola by her mother. The two get along great and dance together for fun. The bond between her and Oricorio is steady, proving to her parents that she's capable of taking care of her own Pokemon, in a sense, the trait of responsibility. When looking after Oricorio she often coddles it like a baby. Keiko has an affection for sweets and shares them with local Pokemon when she has spares. Living only with her mother sometimes takes it's toll and she can become slightly jealous when seeing her friends with their fathers. Keiko loves all cute Pokemon, but her definition of cute can differ from the majority for example. she can find beauty in the trash Pokemon Trubbish or the Sludge Pokemon Grimer.
At times she can be judgemental and snarky but that's just to cover her own insecurities.
Keiko is only 148cm and compared to her friends and neighbors... She's rather short. This has composed an inferiority complex in her and she can sometimes burst into a ranting outburst. When she was growing up if one of the locals mentioned her short stature she would pound them with a paper fan to ease her rage. Her shortness has it's upsides, she is very nimble and perform the most deluxe traditional dances. Surprisingly she's not afraid to show off her moves, to close friends and paying customers. Keiko loves money and can be kind of stingy with it.
Like any child her sense of adventure is bursting at the seems, she's not going on the journey complete the trials but to broaden her horizons and maybe become a famous dancer while she's at it.
Bonds Father - A now deceased man that spoiled his child. He used to be a strong Pokemon trainer specializing in Fire type Pokemon. Every year on the anniversary of his death Keiko performs a specialized dance in his honor. His death at a young age didn't effect Keiko as much as it should but you can often see the scars in her eyes.
Mother - Keiko's mother is a master seamstress and widow. She takes care of only child Keiko with love and boundless kindness. Her partner Pokemon is Oricorio, they have an inseparable bond. You wouldn't know but she can be a fearsome trainer too some say she even knows a Z-move or too. She often worries for Keiko, maybe a little too much.
Samuel - An eccentric boy Keiko met as young girl. Normally she wouldn't be interested in just some random over-energetic boy, but he interested her. Taking her on 'adventures' and discovering different parts of the Island they lived on. They grew up together as childhood friends. That is to say, he grew up, Keiko stayed smaller than him and often gets the blunt of his taunts about it. As mad as he can make her, she wouldn't trade the doofus for anybody else... On most days.
