Cy is taller than average at 5'10, with a deep tan from swimming. Their hair and eyes contrast as snowy white and icy blue, respectively. Usually dressing in cool tones like blues, purples, and an occasional pop of bright color, Cy prefers clothes that are comfy and understated. They've got a lot of sleek joggers, snazzy jackets, and vibrant graphic tees to pair with high-top sneakers and boots. Not a stranger to dresses and skirts in any way though, traveling's just easier with more functional clothes. Cyan identifies as gender-fluid, and depending on the day, they'll play up their features a certain way. Finally, accessories typically involved in the get up are bracelets, bangles, or a simple pair of trainer gloves.

Cy's dad died when they were a young girl of age seven. Cy's mother was distraught but did what she could to support them both. Her sister, Cy's aunt, moved in with them to help, and that was their family pretty much. Their little pod didn't have the most money, but it was enough. Sunyshore being the major port town and having a fantastic beach was enough for any child to go running around and explore, which Cy did. The beach was an especially frequented spot, as Cyan loved to swim and surf. Not to mention the throngs of pokemon that they would see under the sea were fantastical and wondrous. It's no surprise then that they developed a love for water types.

School was different than free time, though. As a child, they were bold, reckless, and daring when they were off adventuring, as many children are. But they were also shy around new people, especially when other kids started making fun of them at school for trying to be a boy. Cyan didn't understand a lot of things at that age, as many kids don't, but they did learn that they needed to disguise their shyness as something else. So Cy drew walls up, tried not to talk to anybody. They just wanted to be alone.

Around Cy's tenth birthday when they were gifted with a pair of ice skates, as mother and aunt had noticed that Cy seemed to be a little quieter, less perkier than usual. In short, Cy fell in love with skating—it gave them confidence, purpose, and pride to shield them even. And as ice-types were similar to water types, Cyan thought, 'why not both? They're pretty much the same thing anyways.' They were two sides of the same coin, just like Cy.

The following years were structured, as they are for children. Cy spent he majority of it alone, preferring to explore every nook and cranny of the city than put up with other kids. It just so happened then, during one of these many excursions, that they'd meet an exotic companion to boot at the busy, frequented Sunyshore ports. An Azurill that had come from somewhere, Cy's not sure to this day. But Mazi stuck around, being a loyal friend to Cy for the years to come.

Fast forward to twenty and Cy is roughly a year and a half into their trainer journey. They're hoping to making something of themselves by hopefully entering sports competitions and the like with their pokemon. Hoping to gain some career traction and find their self more, they're ready for adventure. That said, they're also going to have to face people on a professional, competitive, and personal level. And Cyan doesn't feel ready for that in the least bit.

A little prickly and hard to feel out, Cy's built up walls. Their shyness from childhood isn't quite there as much as there is wariness. Cyan is skeptical of people, their intentions, and what they say. People try to box you in and shut you out, and Cyan has experienced enough of that. But they're not rude, nor are they unkind. Cy just speaks briefly, as they're never sure what to converse about. When people dig a little deeper and try to have genuine conversation, even Cy surprises themself with how vocal they can get.

When upset, Cy prefers to retreat or shut down. As communication happens to be the very thing Cy sucks at, they're not great at telling people what they did wrong but they will act passive aggressive instead. Still, Cy's a big softie who will appreciate any apology or some kind of peace gesture, if they don't make it themself first. Friends are rare, and if Cy finds a true one, they definitely want to keep them.

With a small, slight frame at 5’5”, Sumi comes off as gentle even before she smiles, and her kindness shows through her eyes, words, and mannerisms. Since she’s on the road every day, she sticks with a trusty pair of yukata, storing the one she’s not wearing in a furoshiki of patterned cloth she carries with her. For shoes she prefers zori, and she has some simple wooden hair accessories for the few formal occasions that might arise. These are usually reserved for days when something important is happening, like a gym battle or festival, but on the day-to-day Sumi sticks with a wooden barrette etched with flowers to complement her bunned hair. Otherwise, Sumi’s outfits are relatively simple—that is, as simple as a floral yukata set can be.

Raised in the town of flowers where colors bloomed year-round and imparted the air with an undispellable perfume, Sumi was taught to watch and appreciate rather than pick or trample. Delicacy was as much a must with raising grass-types as it was with raising certain types of flora, and just as different levels of care are required for different species of bloom, differing touches were required for different Pokemon, each of whom would be unique and individual in themselves.

Such nuances surrounded Sumi, engraving themselves into her understanding and perception of the world, and though some might call her upbringing in the local tea house rigid or harsh, Sumi never saw it as such. Just as there were moments that had driven her to tears, there were also moments of extreme tenderness, of raw admiration and heartfelt appreciation, and it was these moments that stayed with Sumi as she left on her trainer journey at the turn of eighteen. Though she had a place in town waiting for her, the desire to find her own calling in life drove her from home, and her love for Pokemon only helped to fuel her want to explore.

Her journey so far has been neither long nor tough, but that’s because she has yet to be very far from home. Heading down to Jubilife gave her a glimpse of city life, and Oreburgh’s gym wasn’t much of a challenge with zero badges and two Pokemon with type advantages. After her latest trip home, though, she’s off to Eterna City, after which she will only travel farther and farther from Floaroma. Stronger than her nervousness, though, is a sense of excitement because in a way, her journey has only begun.

Sumi is a calm and gentle soul with an endless pool of love and respect for all things. Normally both the listening ear and the shoulder to cry on, she shows an extremely high amount of patience for most things, and she defaults to trying to take care of those around her. She lives by the high standards she sets for herself, which keep her on track, in her opinion, and she’s found a precarious balance between reasonable and unreasonable expectations for her team that’s working for the moment. Though she enjoys company, she struggles with balancing her judgements since she tends to judge others by her own standards. Her awareness of this, however, helps her keep herself on track for improvement, and aside from a competitive streak and a temper that doesn’t show itself too much, she’s a pretty standard older sister-type friend—caring and almost overbearing, but well-meaning nonetheless.
