The Daily Life Meme
Friends, Lucetians, countrymen, lend me your ears! Once upon a time, Kyio (God rest her zombie bones) gave us a quaint little meme. Once again, more than a year has passed since it has been revisited, so awwwww here it goes...!
All you do is fill out the following survey! Now is the time to unleash all that tl;dr you've pent up for all this time. Let your fellow players know what your character gets up to in Luceti - hobbies, habits, hangouts, and more. Find out things you never knew about your CR! Find new cool cats to make CR with! Go, go, go!
As always, feel free to throw around IC or OOC responses and questions to each other. Have fun!
EDIT: Forgot Cloud Nine no longer exists, so I edited question 28 to include Seventh Heaven instead. WHOOPS.

2) Weight: A woman doesn't give her weight, but it's somewhere pretty normal for her height. (140lbs/63.5kg)
3) Eye color/Hair Color: Blue eyes; headcanon more than anything that her hair's really this lovely brown color that she's been drawn with more than once, but she just dyes her hair to be darker colors. Usually it's black or a dark navy blue, but she'll be getting pink hair really soon. See below.
4) Age: Technically, she's still 16 if we're going to go by Luceti's weird time cycles - but her "birthday" was in April so saying she's 17 feels more natural. Besides -- it was gonna be her birthday in a few months back home, there's no trouble to call it early.
5) Physical features: Usually has bags under her eyes; she doesn't sleep very well, though there's been a few string of nights where she didn't have any nightmares... But, on average, she's up at three in the morning, naps in the afternoon for about an hour, and finally gets to sleep round nine or ten. Healthy sleep schedule? Ha.
Her most notable features are typically her legs, which are very firmly muscled -- given that they're her main tools and she still uses them heavily in her training... also her hair'll be pink. Like this (right) pink.
6) Voice: She's not got a canon voice (and this will never be rectified), but it's typically a very cheerful and kind voice that's in a medium-range for pitches. Her pitch doesn't change when she switches into her serious mode, but her tone tends towards the sterner/sharper side. She tends to be warm and kind -- motherly, you could even say!
7) Who do they live with and how are chores divided in their house/apartment?: She lives in House 11, aka "Pokéhouse," along with a bunch of guys (Gold, Silver, Rin, Cilan, and Ash) and a bunch of Pokémon (don't make me list those). Crystal's probably the one who keeps the house clean, even the rooms that aren't currently occupied, except she doesn't touch the bathroom on Rin's side of the second floor. He can take care of that himself.
It's also pretty likely that she's the one who does laundry for the house too (please do your own laundry guys) (just) (please) (please...), and she most definitely at least does her own. Her bras aren't going to be ruined by a bunch of stupid boys who don't know how to properly clean them :'|
8) Their favorite (and least favorite, if you want) foods and who does the cooking in their house/apartment?: She prefers healthy foods by far, and, as a result, isn't a huge junk food fan... but she's got a soft spot for almond cake in particular and bitter-tasting foods in general. It's probably fair to say that Cilan does most of the cooking in the house in general, but Crystal likes to make herself breakfast and dinner if she's up particularly early/gets in late.
9) What they do during an average day in Luceti: Her day begins either at three in the morning (thanks, nightmares) or at six -- the former has her on walks to clear her mind before she goes for her usual hand-to-hand combat training/practice, while the latter immediately has her heading off for said practice.
Once that's through, she can usually be found in one of three places in Luceti: in the forest behind House 11, in the mountains (not too far from the hot springs, actually, since she uses the teleporter to get there), and on the beach (where she's working on her sand control; it seems like a useful skill to have and head, maybe one day she'll get to make the best sandcastle ever).
She takes about an hour break in mid-afternoon to cool off and rest up (the cherry blossoms are a particularly favorite spot, but if she's in the mountain she'll be soaking in the hot springs), then goes right back to working on mastering Faeren's rock/earth side of her magic and figuring out new ways to apply it.
Once it gets too dark for her to see, she heads back home and takes the edge off by scrubbing the house clean, doing laundry, and etc etc etc. She showers every morning and every night as well, since she wakes up with one and doesn't like going to bed all gross and sweaty.
This is pretty much the same every day save for Sunday, which she spends largely with her pokémon out and about in Luceti. Particular places: the fountain, the coffeeshop, and the library.
10) Their general sense of fashion: Practical, comfortable, and a little cute. She's a fan of vibrant colors, especially since they're a hit with kids, and tends towards clothing she can move around in easily (so shorts, form-fitting things, and sneakers).
She's not against cute dressers or skirts though -- she just doesn't usually wear them unless it's a special occasion.
Hotter weather gets her in sports bras and short shorts for training, and she doesn't usually bother to change into anything else for her mid-afternoon break. She slides into pajamas after a shower when she gets home late though.
11) Do they have any hobbies? Did they come up with these hobbies in Luceti, or was it something they always did?: At home, it was practicing her catching and volunteering at Violet City's academy -- mostly the latter. She'd come up with games for the childern as well.
In Luceti, it's turned into training with Faeren and not sleeping very well.
12) Has the situation in Luceti changed their view on certain topics/the way they react to different things?: Not much, except that she's very hesitant to keep her pokémon in their pokéballs and to bring them on things like drafts (should she ever go on one) and missions. Having to actually kill someone has become a very close reality too, and one she's not looking forward to having to do in the slightest.
13) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?: HER BARE HANDS AND FEET no, but seriously, the girl's learned how to cripple and kill people in hand-to-hand combat at this point. She's got a pretty amazingly strong kick to boot! And yes, obviously they'll be on her at all times. Otherwise, she has Megaree and Monlee - neither of which she's been carrying around as of late. They're usually left to their own devices in House 11!
14) Do they have any pets? Would these pets be at their homes, or do they hang out with the character in question?: Oh, oops, I answered this -- there's Megaree, her Meganium, a very hardy and enthusiastic plantile who has megawatts of energy, and there's Monlee, her Hitmonchan, who's an adamant fighter with a lot of punch and a lot of willpower. Both of them aren't pets, per say; they're very important partners and they're part of her pro-catching team, Monlee in particular.
That being said, they're usually left at home and hang out with her/help her with chores when she gets back, aside from on Sunday -- where they go out with her to hang around Luceti.
15) Who are their neighbors?: There's the Flame Building, which has Hilda, Masaomi, Lee, and Evan that she's pretty familiar with. Otherwise, House 11's tiny area is totally devoid of people.
16) Who are their best friends in Luceti? How often do they spend time with them and doing what?: Gold and Silver definitely top this list, and prooobably not as often as they should. Her and Silver have a lot of late night/early morning hang out sessions thanks to their nightmarish (haha) sleeping schedules, and she's one of the few people who doesn't mind sitting down to watch Proteam Omega with him to help him wind down. So, objectively, they spend a lot more time together than her and Gold do.
Honorary mentions go to Hilda (who is still the only outside of people with Pokémon who know it's explicitly her fault that her important friend is dead) and Masaomi (who has been a surprising source of feel good vibes and conversation).
17) On the flip side, is there anyone they actively don’t get along with? How do they interact, and would people know about this?: Probably Loki; she doesn't like his style in the slightest. She'd still be as civil as possible in any interactions though -- and that goes for pretty much anyone she wouldn't get along with.
18) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?: The secret waterfall area Saori's shown her in the mountains, the square, the hot springs... She's also got a fondness for Helios' café and is becoming a frequent customer of the convenience store thanks to her training schedule.
19) Do they belong to any clubs or organizations? Which ones? Do they go regularly, or just occasionally? None in particular!
20) Wing color and how do they deal with their wings?: Lavender! They don't get in her way very much while she's out, especially since she doesn't tend to wear her jacket or a hoodie or anything of the sort. When it gets colder, she'll probably end up hiding them in her hoodies because it's easier to deal with than fitting clothes for them.
21) Did they change or grow in any way physically since coming to Luceti?: She hasn't been in Luceti long enough for much, but her roots are showing through her dye since she's been too preoccupied to touch them up... She'll end up dyeing her hair a pretty shade of pink by the end of July though!
22) What do they miss the most from home?: Her Arcanine. Her mom. Volunteering at the academy and playing with the kids. Working for Professor Oak. Johto, in essence.
(But secretly, she really doesn't want to go home.)
23) What does their handwriting look like? Do they write the way they talk, or is there a clear difference between the two?: Like kindergarten teacher's! It's very neat and orderly and easy to read. She writes the way she talks, so telling her mood's not all that hard.
24) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the journal system?: Not really. She's a lot more prone to shifting into Lecture/Teacher mode when she's talking to someone over the journal, though.
25) Did they gain/lose any personal goals during their stay in Luceti?: She's never, ever going to let one of her Pokémon get hurt or disappear again. She's gained that one in Luceti. At home, her only goal was to doing her job profesionally and perfectly -- and, you know, to keep the world safe for children to grow up in.
26) Is Luceti a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?: Downgrade, technically; PCs and Pokémon Centers obviously aren't fixtures in Luceti.
27) FOR STUDENTS: What is their favorite class? What is their least favorite class? What about their general behavior in school?:She doesn't go to school, though she's been offered by Helios to come volunteer and help out at it since she has experience with it from home. She hasn't taken him up on it yet though - she doesn't have any skills to teach, and until she's confident enough in her abilities to calm down on training she probably won't offer her time for assisting classes.28) FOR DRINKERS: What is their favorite drink? What is their least favorite drink? Do they prefer Good Spirits or Seventh Heaven? What's their attitude about and while drinking?:She doesn't drink! If she did, she'd probably only do it in the company of friends and/or socially.29) Do they have any special talents? If so, what are they?: She's got excellent balance and perfect accuracy, as long as she's kicking. Throwing is more like average accuracy for her.
30) Have they learned any new skills or abilities in Luceti? If so, what are they? Why and how? Hand-to-hand combat and a multitude of earth magic! She's learning them to defend herself and so she doesn't have to rely on her Pokémon at all -- so she can leave them at home and have them stay nice and safe, while she goes off on drafts and junk.
She's learned her hand-to-hand from Evan (and some basic kicks from Lee), and she's been in close contact with Faeren since early June. Particulars about her earth magic skills: She can create walls out of solid earth/rock, solidify sand and do some minor manipulation with it, do a very Stone Edge-like move, and can create very small quakes that she's going to work on extending the area of. Among other less exciting stuff.
31) What kind of habits do they have on drafts? Are they willing to kill or do they prefer to avoid fighting?: She hasn't been on any drafts since Zompania's, so it's hard to say. It's not hard to imagine that she's going to freeze up if she ever has to go into serious combat, no matter her training.
32) What kind of habits do they have on missions? What is their reason for going on them? What do they intend to use their points for? The only mission she's been on is the one to raze down Zompania, though if she went on any it'd probably be just to get minor items. She'd probably stay off of combat-based ones unless she had a buddy or two with her, preferably ones that wouldn't chide her for leaving her pokémon behind.
33) How long have they been in Luceti? Has that length of time impacted them in any way?: About four months now, I think? Despite the small time, she has been impacted heavily (thanks draft!) and in actually a really terrible, awful, negative way.
34) How do they unwind and get back to normal after a brutal experiment, event, or draft?: She's only had this draft-wise, but she prefers to be away from people (but not her pokémon) for a day or two before she goes back to the house and try to act relatively normal. She's ended up putting a lot of her frustration and guilt into training and strengthening herself instead of having to count entirely on her pokémon though.
35) What is their worst experience from an experiment or kidnapping? Were there any that they actually liked?: She hasn't actually had any of these yet, really! Maybe one day soon I'll get to put something here B)b (If I can count drafts, it's Zompania. It will always be Zompania.)
36) Anything else you want to note?:
-- She's going to contact Sona in August, probably!
-- As stated before, she dyes her hair. Her mom does too.
-- She carries no less than five of each of her specialty balls... normally. She's going to probably start finding them in the item shop this month.
-- I'm also kind of interested in her making up games that she played with the kids in Johto and showing them off in Luceti ahaha...
I THINK THAT'S ALL.
