History Characters / PokemonScarletAndVioletProtagonistsAndFriends

* VagueAge: They appear to be older children or younger teenagers depending on the outfit, facial and hairstyle combinations you choose for them, but their specific age is never addressed in-game, especially since Naranja/Uva Academy is not limited to specific ages or grades (you can find adult and even elderly students as NPC Trainers). One scene does have a teacher refer to them as adolescents, but as they are also addressing the class as a whole, they may not have intended an explicitly teenage meaning.

* CoolBigSis: She acts as this to the player character, being quite sweet and encouraging of whatever they wish to do while being slightly older than them. She also has an older sister herself, but what their actual relationship is defined to be, aside from mentioning that she would be taking over their family's Rotom Phone company, remains unknown. During and after ''Mochi Mayhem'', she also plays this role to Kieran, cheering him up after defeating him in battle and advising him to just take Pokémon battles as a hobby to enjoy.

** Her fight in ''Mochi Mayhem'' has her trade in Dundunsparce and Orthworm for Kommo-O and either Ribombee, Milotic, or Dusknoir depending on the player's starter. Her starter also now Teralizes into its secondary type.

* DiscardAndDraw: Her fight in ''Mochi Mayhem'' has her trade in Dundunsparce and Orthworm for Kommo-O and either Ribombee, Milotic, or Dusknoir depending on the player's starter. Her starter also now Teralizes into it's secondary type. Later rematches in the League Club has her replace Goodra with a previous Gen starter the same type as the player's (Decidueye, Greninja, or Infernape).

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:In ''Mochi Mayhem'' Nemona, Arven, and Penny are all brought under Pecharunt's control via posion mochi, with Nemona serving as its strongest henchman.]]

* TheDragon: [[spoiler:Temporarily becomes this for Pecharunt in the ''Mochi Mayhem'' epilogue, brainwashed into becoming its main henchman and being the last and strongest trainer you battle before fighting Pecharunt itself]].

* {{Malaproper}}: He occasionally misinterprets words he hear, such as calling research stations "radish rations" and thinking that Penny wants "sauce" with her vegetable when she asks for his source about some health facts he relays.

* StalkerWithoutACrush: Repeatedly and rather unconvincingly argues that it's just a coincidence that she keeps showing up at Gym locations before the player character does, but it's pretty clear she is very invested in their progress as a trainer and hopes for them to become the perfect outlet for her battle fervor. Though this being StalkerWithACrush behavior is an easy conclusion to draw, given certain lines.

** Zigzagged with Nemona. Since only the final battle against her during the Victory Road storyline is required for the player to win, either of them can serve as this to each other, although Nemona [[WillfullyWeak purposely weakens herself in order to battle the player on equal footing]] since she's their senior as a Champion-ranked trainer. [[spoiler:When the player ultimately prevails over her Champion team, [[GracefulLoser she isn't sad in the least and thanks them for a great battle]]]].

** They constantly battle and beat Nemona, who's their senior as a Champion-ranked trainer, albeit she herself weakens herself at the start just for the thrill of finally finding someone who has potential to keep up or ''beat'' her before gradually coming back to her best version [[spoiler:just to get beaten again, though she isn't sad in the least but rather thanks them for one final battle]].
** In the ''Teal Mask'', they beat both Carmine and Kieran all the times they battle, to [[SoreLoser Carmine's chagrin]] but to [[GracefulLoser Kieran's amazement]]. [[spoiler:By their last battle with each of them, Carmine has grown [[GracefulLoser so fond of them]] that she can't help but be happy for the battle, but Kieran's long losing streak - coupled with the player getting Ogerpon's adoration - causes him to become ''[[SoreLoser so]]'' obsessed with becoming stronger than the player that he undergoes SanitySlippage because of it.]]

* TownGirls: She serves as the butch in her friend groups.
** In the main story, she's the Butch to Juliana's Femme and Penny's Neither

* TownGirls: She serves as the neither in all of her main friend groups:

* BloodKnight: One of the most noticeable examples in the series among human characters. While she especially enjoys battling against the player, she has a very strong passion for Pokémon battling in general and can get carried away with it. Arven is able to easily convince her to help him and the protagonist [[spoiler:explore Area Zero]] by telling her about all the strong Pokémon there are to fight.

* ClingyJealousGirl: A humorous, rivalry-oriented variant -- Nemona (probably jokingly) tells the player that they shouldn't go picking fights with randos since "they have all the battles they could ever want with her", and later gets quite upset when Geeta takes an interest in them, even accusing her of "trying to steal them from [her]".

* BirdsOfAFeather: In ''Pokémon Masters,'' she gets along pretty well with Hilda, who, upon being introduced to her by Cheren, interrupts said introduction to fight Nemona ASAP.

* BreakingOldTrends: The first time the female protagonist is more associated with the primary version and the male with the secondary. Juliana is more often depicted inthe orange Scarlet uniform and Florian is usually in the purple Violet clothes. Even extends to the manga counterparts with Florian being named Vio.

* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: Despite not being seen having any plushies in her house or dorm, Nemona expresses her fondness over fluffy things, such as Penny's Eevee backback from the beginning of the game to the player's Skwovet plush in their room in Cabo Poco during the ''Mochi Mayhem'' Epilogue.

* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She is an active battle maniac with a soft spot for [[GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals fluffy things]], which include Penny's Eevee backpack and the player's Skwovet plush at home. She is also willing to not only wear a fancy dress, but challenge [[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite Gym Leader Clay]] while wearing said dress in a wealthy gettogether, according to her League Club conversation with Lacey.

* HiddenDepths: While he comes off like an abrasive {{Jerkass}}, it gradually becomes clear Arvern suffers from deep abandonment issues caused by his parent obsessively focusing on their research, and struggles to connect with other people because of it. His attachment to [[spoiler:his Mabosstiff]] is revealed to be in large because [[spoiler:it was the only close relation he had growing up]].

* SupportingProtagonist: While Florian/Juliana are the player characters and undisputedly the protagonists of ''Scarlet and Violet'', the story focuses more on their friends Nemona, Penny, Arven, and Koraidon/Miriadon, especially the latter two during the "The Way Home" storyline.

* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: When she and the rest of the group encounter [[spoiler:the second Miriadon/Koriadon in Area Zero]], she interprets the interaction between it and Miriadon/Koriadon as a wholesome family reunion cut short. Everyone else naturally notices the hostile interaction taking place and Penny is quick to point that out to her.

* TheUnreveal: We never get to see what her previous Pokémon Champion team is like beyond mentions of it at the start of the story[[labelnote:note]]She is briefly seen using a Paldean Tauros at the prologue cutscene introducing the players to the world of Pokémon, which she will trade to the player when in Blueberry Academy. ''WebAnimation/PokemonPaldeanWinds'' also features her using a Paldean Tauros, as well as a Kilowattrel[[/labelnote]]. The team she has throughout the game is a team she built up against the PlayerCharacter. However, [[spoiler:it could be possible that the Dudunsparce and Orthworm she has in the final battle with the player may be from her previous teams, seeing that she didn't have either Pokémon in prior battles.]] There are also the Pokémon that can be found in her house, but if they're actually her's, it's more likely that they're for companionship rather than battling.

*** In a similar vein, she also has something in common with N himself, as both of them are trying to atone for their misdeeds with the help of friends.

* FightingFromTheInside: [[spoiler:Nemona is the first of the three Paldean friends to fall under Pecharunt's control. As soon as she does, she immediately makes a run for it outside of town, presumably so she isn't a danger to her friends. She is also the only opponent Pecharunt sends at you who isn't constantly doing the chicken dance all the others do.]]

* HandsOffParenting: Her parents prefer to raise her older sister because she will take over their family's business, and so they left Nemona alone to do anything she wanted without supervision. Even Nemona herself says a variation of the trope's name. Talking to one of her family's maids will also reveal that her parents spend a lot of time away and are rarely home.

* AmbiguouslyBi: She states that Florian/Juliana's mother is "so pretty [her] brain glitched". She also calls Carmine pretty when she interacts with her in the League Club. This is on top of being flabbergasted by Atticus's looks when he's not dressed up in funky ninja gear.

* MeaningfulName: Her Japanese name, Botan, can be translated in Russian as a "nerd" who struggles in sports and has bad social skills -- which perfectly fits her. Botan is also the name of a programming library, which fits with Penny's computer skills.
