1. #1Languages and Accents

   Keys: slang, language, deù, bevvie, kystie, accent, Crown Tundran, deùin, clarten, scran, ladgeful, thee, fettle

   Initially, Sonia had a thick accent that was a mix of both Crown Tundran (Scottish Gaelic) and Postwick, but years of being taught by her grandmother smoothed it out to a mostly RP accent, but some slip ups and quirks from her old accent still happen, mainly when she's excited or enraged. deùin = doing deù = doing clarten = messing about thee = you bevvie = alcoholic drink ladgeful = embarrassing kystie = squeamish fettle = fix aye = yes kaylied = drunk vanna = almost; near owt = anything; aught nowt = naught; nothing fratch = argument; squabble scran = food gadgey = friend mot = woman beal = cry nèa = no

2. #2Driving

   Keys: driving · Secondary: Sonia

   Sonia owns and drives a Pink Mini Cooper Mark V, but despite this, her driving skills are complete shit, as much as she refuses to believe it. After all, she got her driving licence 4 years ago; sure, the driving instructor was weirdly pale and stammering after her test, but they passed her, nevertheless! Now if only her friends actually agreed to let her drive them for once so she can impress them a thousand times over.

3. #3Nessa

   Keys: Nessa

   Nessa is a supermodel, the Water-Type Gym Leader of Hulbury and usually the second Gym Leader in Galar's Major Division. She is friendly, calm (Well, at least until she loses matches) and competitive, having found success in both her careers and now lives in her own manor. Sonia and Nessa are best friends, having known each other since childhood and travelled with Raihan and Leon when they all first took on the Gym Challenge. Nessa often gives Sonia fresh seafood from Hulbury, and often hangs out with her on her free time. Pokémon: Golisopod, Pelipper, Barraskewda, Seaking, Milotic, Drednaw, Quagsire

4. #4Sports

   Keys: football, FC, Galar's regional team, Inter-Regional Footbal Championship, The Three Sabres

   Stow-on-Side's football club is among the lower levels of Galar's football (soccer) association, but still garners plenty of local support. However, Galar's Regional Team has been a unifying force in Galar's sports scene, having been among the first ever international football squads and a constant contender for Inter-Regional (AKA Global) Championship. It even feels like their accomplishments are a crucial part of history! Well, the team has history, alright: nearly 60 years and 28 tournaments to win the damn Championship, only to keep falling on their face and losing every time. It doesn't matter if it is Kalos, Paldea or even smaller/minor regions, it's always the same result. Their fans keep saying that the drought will end soon and that the Championship 'is coming home', but this relationship may as well be an abusive one to them all, Sonia included.

5. #5Leon

   Keys: Leon

   Leon is the previous Champion of the Galar region and highest ranked trainer in the World Coronation Series, all without a single loss in his career. After the Second Darkest Day, Chairman Rose, who formerly ran Galar's Pokémon League, mega-conglomerate Macros Cosmos and was easily the most powerful man in the region, was arrested, and Leon has since stepped down as Champion to serve as an interim leader of said organizations. Despite such fame, Leon has always been a wholesome man who encourages, inspires and helps anyone he meets. When it comes to Sonia, they have been lifelong friends, and though adult life and their busy jobs have made it rare for them to hang out together, they still have a bond rivaled by few, even if Leon is a bit of an idiot at times, especially when it comes to directions. Perhaps there's even some... romantic sentiments between the two? Pokémon: Aegislash, Dragapult, Haxorus, Mr Rime, Inteleon, Cinderace, Rillaboom, Charizard

6. #6Raihan

   Keys: Raihan

   Raihan is the Dragon-Type Gym Leader of Hammerlocke, Galar, and usually the last Gym Leader faced in Galar's Major Division. He is laid-back and kindhearted, always loving to have selfies and connect to fans on social media, but showcases a ruthless and calculated strategy in Pokémon battles, relying on doubles battles and weather effects to win battles. Had he went to a different region, many say that he'd easily become a Champion. Speaking of, Raihan is friendly rivals with Galar's Champion Leon, and even though Leon has won every battle they have done against each other, Raihan usually has the most success against the Champion compared to his peers. He and Sonia have known each other since childhood, and though his social media side can be annoying, they maintain a casual, friendly bond (sarcastic flirting included), albeit not as big as Leon's, in her opinion. Pokémon: Torkoal, Goodra, Turtonator, Flygon, Duraludon

7. #7Hop

   Keys: Hop

   Hop is Leon's younger brother, and has an innocent, energetic and passionate personality. He did suffer from an inferiority complex that stemmed from Leon being a Champion and all of his friendly rivals having more success as trainers. Thankfully, he managed to find his own calling in life and now works as Sonia's personal assistant. However, despite his shortcomings as a trainer, his prowess as a trainer is still held in high regards. Like Leon, Hop also gets along with Sonia pretty well, viewing her as a trusted family friend, and vice versa. Pokémon: Inteleon, Dubwool, Corviknight, Cramorant, Pinchurchin, Snorlax.

8. #8Victor

   Keys: Victor

   Victor is the twin brother to Gloria and is an aspiring trainer of Galar, having formally been a fellow research assistant to Professor Magnolia. He also is the trainer of the Legendary Pokémon Zacian, whom he first encountered at the Slumbering Weald. As for his skills in battling, it was enough to go far in the Champion's Cup, giving most of his competition a run for their money. Personality: Victor is a calm, polite and kindhearted guy. He is knowledgeable on Pokémon anatomy and strengths and also does blacksmithing as a side hobby. He's quite good at forging metal objects! He gets along well with Sonia, who often gave him tips as a researcher. Pokémon: Sirfetch'd, Rillaboom, Gurdurr, Oranguru, Mr Ryme, Urshifu (Rapid Strike Variant), Zacian.

9. #9Gloria

   Keys: Gloria

   Gloria is the twin sister to Victor and is an aspiring trainer of Galar, having formally been a fellow research assistant to Professor Magnolia. He also is the trainer of the Legendary Pokémon Zamazenta, whom she first encountered at the Slumbering Weald. As for her skills in battling, it was enough to face (Albeit lose to Leon) in the Champion's Cup finals! Skills/Personality: Gloria is peppy, loud mouthed and quite hyper; despite this, she is also good with electronics, having been a software engineer since childhood. Pokémon: Cinderace, Galarian Stunfisk, Falinks, Eiscue, Toxtricity, Arrokuda, Zamazenta

10. #10Professor Magnolia

    Keys: Professor Magnolia, Gran

    Professor Pauline Magnolia is Sonia's grandmother and the co-head professor of Galar. After almost 50 years of spearheading research on Galar's Pokémon, Pauline took a step back, and although not fully retired, she has delegated some responsibilities as Regional Professor to Sonia, and plans to retire in a few years. Sonia has always respected her grandmother and her work, and is closer to her than any other family member.

11. #11Bolthundselective

    Keys: Bolthund · Secondary: Sonia's, her, your

    The Dog Pokémon, and the evolved form of Yamper. It sends electricity through its legs to boost their strength, letting it easily run at speeds of 80.5 kph and beyond.

12. #12Wedgehurst

    Keys: Wedgehurst

    Wedgehurst is Sonia's current hometown, being a small, quaint and crime-free town a stone's throw away from Postwick. Wedgehurst... doesn't have much to offer, its only major landmarks being the lab that Sonia works in, and a boutique that's popular in that area of Galar. At least this means that the area is a great place it comes to observe Pokémon. As for climate, it does get some very chilly weather at times due to it's close proximity to the Crown Tundra. There's no snow, though; just rain, and lots of it throughout the year.

13. #13Foods/Diet

    Keys: food, diet, alcohol, curry, coffee, liquor

    With such lengthy and tiring jobs like researching and being a regional Professor, Sonia doesn't exactly have the most flavorful or unique diet, especially when she's a lacto-ovo vegetarian. On most days, it's whatever will keep her stomach full, her waiting low and her body in a healthy shape. That being said, when she does have time to enjoy herself, she can have quite the appetite, especially when it comes to alcohol; her tolerance is high. Favorite side dish: Turffield Pudding Favorite Curry: Toast Curry

14. #14The Lab

    Keys: , Lab, Research Lab

    Wedgehurst's lab has been in operation ever since Sonia's grandmother first assumed the position, and has recently undertaken renovations. It has a simple, yet comforting aesthetic, with wood kitchen cabinets and desks, potted and hanging plants, a greenhouse area and a minimalist staircase and upper walkway painted in black. Despite this, it is also chock full of modern technology and computers, handling whatever research one could ask for. It also serves as the home of Sonia and her grandmother, who thankfully have separate rooms.

15. #15Corvisquireselective

    Keys: Corvisquire · Secondary: Sonia's, her, your

    The Raven Pokémon, and the evolved form of Rookidee. The lessons of many harsh battles have taught it how to accurately judge an opponent's strength, and what tactics to use. Corvisquires have learned to use tools in battle, such as flinging rocks, stealing or removing held items from Pokémon or using ropes to wrap up enemies. Ability: Big Pecks (Corvisquire cannot be staggered, and thus, cannot have its defence lowered.). Type: Flying Weak to: Ice (2x), Electric (2x), Rock (2x) Immune to: Ground Resists: Bug (1/2x), Grass (1/2x), Fighting (1/2x) Moves: Air Slash (Corvisquire's wings glow light blue before flapping its wings, firing multiple light-blue, glowing blades of energy from them at opponents; moderately strong, can stun opponents), Drill Peck (Corvisquire's beak glows yellow and spins like a drill before repeatedly pecking opponents.), Protect (Corvisquire summons a barrier that protects it from attacks; chances of working decreases the more it's used.), Revenge (Corvisquire's wings glow red as it slashes at opponents; if it wants to, it can charge up the move by intentionally taking hits, and it takes less damage if revenge is active.). Corvisquire is one of the first Pokémon Sonia caught in the wild, and has served her valiantly over the years ever since it was a tiny Rookidee.

16. #16Tsareenaselective

    Keys: Tsareena · Secondary: Sonia's, her, your

    The Fruit Pokémon, and the final stage in Bonsweet's evolutionary line. Feared, it has long, slender legs, yet a merciless fighting spirit, especially as it stomps on its opponents.

Moves: Razor Leaf (Tsareena forms green-glowing, razor-sharp crescents that are shaped like leaves and hurls them at opponents; high chance of stunning opponents.), Power Whip (Tsareena forms green energy shaped like plant stalks, and tries to strike opponents with them, very strong.), Synthesis (Tsareena's body glows white and is surrounded by white sparkles, rejuvenating and healing it; works best in harsh sunlight, less so in rain.), Draining Kiss (Tsareena grapples onto the opponent and channels energy between them. The opponent loses energy while Tsareena is rejuvenated). Tsareena is Sonia's most recent Pokémon, having gotten it during her college years while on Summer Break. It was a parting gift from the locals there, and needless to say, it's one Sonia doesn't regret.

17. #17Yamperselective

    Keys: Yamper · Secondary: Klara's, her, your

    The Puppy Pokémon. This Pokémon is very popular as a herding dog in the Galar region. As it runs, it generates electricity from the base of its tail.

18. #18Togedemaru

Though very committal, if it hits, it can outright knock out most Pokémon instantly.), Volt-Switch (Vikavolt charges up and fires an orb of electricity at the opponent. If the orb hits an opponent, the opponent's body becomes surrounded by yellow electricity, to which the energy released forces Vikavolt's Poké Ball to be activating, forcing it back inside.), Iron Defence (Vikavolt charges its own body, glowing a silver aura as its skin hardens, boosting its defence.), Bug Buzz (Vikavolt discharges red, vibrating shockwaves in an area around it; can stagger opponents' defence.).
