Arven

Arven is a character appearing in Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet. He is an upperclassman at the Naranja Academy or Uva Academy and a researcher of healthy recipes. He is also Professor Sada's son.

Appearance Arven has a relaxed yet slightly rugged appearance that hints at his outdoorsy nature and love for cooking. He wears a white school shirt with rolled-up sleeves, a blue tie, and dark blue pants, giving him a loosely formal look. Over his shirt, he sports a bright yellow sleeveless vest with utility pockets, featuring the academy emblem, adding a practical touch to his outfit. His sturdy hiking boots and thick yellow-laced shoes suggest he's often out exploring. Arven's wavy, ash-blond hair falls over one side of his face in a large swoop, partially covering one eye and adding a laid-back charm to his demeanor.

Personality Arven can be seen as snappy and irritated when first met. However, as the player helps him gather the Herba Mystica, he starts to become more friendly and nicknames them "Little Buddy". While still snappy, he is considerably less so than the beginning of the game. He views Nemona negatively, calling her a "battle freak" and would rather go to someone else for help rather than her if possible.

Arven is also displayed to cherish those he loves and cares about, majorly evident when he went through great lengths by searching for the Herba Mystica just to cure his injured Mabosstiff. While he also cares for his parents, he was not on good terms with them as they spent their time researching more than playing with him. However, upon learning that his true parent had died, he was saddened and felt some kind of kinship with the robotic replacement.
