history

nimue fowler was born in hoenn, fortree city and spent most of childhood there.

[break]
nimue never quite grew out of that awkward phase where kids experimented with dresses and pants and liked boys' and girls' toys. so nim decided to stick with they/them pronouns until they grew sick of that too and stuck with he/she pronouns. nim's moms only shrugged at this and let nim be nim.
[break]
[break]
nim looked up to fortree city's flying-type gym leader and even went as far as demanding a flying-type pokémon. nim's parents sighed and relented to nim's demands by giving nim an egg for nim's seventh birthday. nim fumed but otherwise acquiesced. hatching an egg was more boring than catching a pokémon, but nim made do. a week after caring for the egg, it hatched. nim screeched with joy.

nim grumbled and sulked as the small family of four (mom, momma, nim, and nim's hatchling ronnie) moved to sinnoh, jubilife city when nim turned ten. there weren't that many flying-types in sinnoh. and who would ronnie play with, besides nim? sinnoh pokémon were probably mean and weird.

nim made peace with the move (as did ronnie) and flourished academically and socially. when the class took a trip to the pastoria marshes, nim eyed the cool-looking rangers with interest. protecting the environment sounded heroic enough and, even if it was nothing like hoenn, nim could find something like hoenn in the wilderness of sinnoh. nim talked about this with a friend and got laughed at for being a nerd. so nim decided against being a ranger.
[break]
[break]
the trainer's license felt like it didn't belong in nim's hands, but whatever. nim was going to start their pokémon journey at age sixteen and nim couldn't be anymore excited.
[break]
[break]
nim came back a year later after losing to the first gym.
[break]
[break]
after much encouragement and tough love from nim's moms, nim came out of a two-year-long stupor and tried out again - this time for ranger. nim was accepted and set to work in pastoria city.
[break]
[break]
now, nim is traveling all over sinnoh as a pokémon ranger and deals with small wildlife crises here and there.

extras

nim sometimes feels feminine or masculine one day and will change pronouns to reflect this (but nim tends to lean towards feminine). there are those confusing times when nim feels like a strange mixture of both - for this, nim goes by whichever gender feels strongest.
[break]
[break]
nim's sense of style is rather colorful and sporty, but nim is rather partial to soft pinks and skirts.
[break]
[break]
the only people who ever call nim by full name are extremely close friends or nim's moms. and that's only when nim is in deep shit.
[break]
[break]
nim is rather friendly at first, but becomes a little detached afterwards. it's not like nim hates people - it's just that nim doesn't have the energy to deal with them sometimes.
[break]
[break]
wild pokémon feel at ease around nim for some reason. and while nim can be prickly around people, nim is very gentle and careful with pokémon.
