What sports, if any, would she like to get into but hasn't?

Has she ever lost a Pokemon?

A lot of folk rock, indie rock, shoegaze, dreampop, and lo-fi music! Daisy also loves classic rock, and pop from the 80s and 90s. The hits from her childhood remain her favorite karaoke songs, despite having an at-best average singing voice.

An athlete throughout childhood and well into her teens, Daisy has dabbled in several sports over the years (pre-her accident); these days, she sticks to skating, beach volleyball, and tennis. On the topic of skating, she's always wanted to attempt ice-skating despite not having had the chance yet. Other things she'd like to try are lacrosse, ice-hockey, and (probably top of the list) ultimate frisbee!

Daisy's lost several throughout her life, to various causes: there was the Pidgeotto she wasn't able to nurse back to health after the Pokemon had been gravely injured by a Beedrill; the Poliwag she found floating in a heavily polluted stream outside of Celadon when visiting with family; the Meowth who's previous owners had starved him within an inch of his life; among others.

What does she think of Team Rocket?

Which is her favorite of the 'traditional' Kanto starters?

How tidy/organized is Daisy outside of work?

Daisy definitely thrives in group activities, often appointing herself as leader unless someone else feels strongly about it. She's a team player, never one to step on toes but never one to lead a group of people astray either. These qualities have aided her greatly in all areas of her professional life, from volunteer work to coordinating.

Like any reasonable person, Daisy doesn't think very highly of Team Rocket whatsoever. Not having had a penchant for battling at the time, the dark days of their omnipresence were more than a little difficult to endure. Young as she was, Daisy stuck around Pallet indefinitely back then. Only after her neighbor Red cleared the syndicate did she feel safe to wander the streets once more.

Now that she's a little more proficient at battling, she's less weary. Still, Daisy typically likes to keep away from situations that seem suspicious or troublesome. She will only intervene if completely necessary, and never without back-up.

The woman has spent a lot of time around all three, at one point or another, but has deemed Squirtle to be her absolute favorite, taste-wise! When it comes to grooming, however, Bulbasaur are the easiest she finds to work with.

Is she a day or a night person, generally, if given the choice?

What does she think about the League?

Daisy's fashion sense is pretty particular, and she places a lot of importance on making herself 'presentable'. She considers herself a walking billboard for her business, and so keeping on top of her appearance boosts her confidence when working with repeat clients or introducing herself to potential ones.

She favors more 'preppy'/'posh' styles of clothing, though won't sacrifice comfort if she's expected to be on-the-go for a lengthy period of time. For Contests, she hyperfixates on her attention to detail, dressing up to match whatever her Pokemon is serving aesthetic-wise.

All this to say, she cares a lot about appearances. Even still, when she's lounging around her condo or taking a breather from business, she's prone to sporting sweats or ath-leisure wear.

She thrives most during the day, when there's activity about. Something in the quiet of the night really lulls her energy levels, and without things to do she tends to grow tired easily. Her mornings come early, also, so resting at a reasonable time is something she's always tried to maintain.

Her opinions on the League are neither here nor there. Aside from Green, she doesn't actively speak to many within it outside of a select few. Daisy doesn't keep up with their 'political' activity much, either, not unless she stumbles upon an article or a status update when scrolling through her socials.

What drew her to the fan club?

Does she have any place in Kanto or Johto she dislikes?

Ghosts! Daisy has little to no knowledge on how to help "groom" ghost-types, something that's stated in tiny font on the back of her business card. Certain ones she's capable of handling (the Honedge line, for instance) but anything without a corporeal form is unfortunately a no-go.

(As for species? She doesn't mess with the Weedle line, any of them—too much childhood trauma)

The first fan club Daisy had ever joined was one formed by the kids in Viridian during her schooling there. She didn't realize how much fun it was to discuss Pokemon outside of a scientific sphere—just appreciating them, their quirks, and their beauty for what they are! She's kept it up in adulthood as its still a great place to chill with other "fanatics", a few of whom she's known for many years.

Between the two regions are so many places she holds dear, it's hard to pinpoint places she doesn't like. Everywhere has its merits!

But Saffron during its rush hour is particularly stressful for her and, when in a hurry, traversing the crowded streets can be a pain. Also? Lavender Town has always unsettled her. Her friendship with Mr. Fuji and the work she does at the Volunteer House (and the House of Memories, if ever requested) are what keep her coming back.

Poppy was Daisy's first official Pokemon.

Trips to Celadon typically meant the Ohkido bunch was busy. Between Green battling any and everyone available, and their grandfather being pulled every which way by peers and fans alike, a young Daisy found ample amount of time to wander the streets of the lush city to follow her own curious whims.

It was during one of these routine outings that the young girl befriended Erika; another time, during which she got lost in the vastness of the Department Store in a panic; another, where she pondered over whether or not this would be a city she'd like to relocate to some day...

And another time, where she stumbled upon a disheveled and frightened Clefairy near the back alley leading towards the Game Corner.

As alarming as the encounter was at first, Daisy had no time to think and neither did the Clefairy—within moments of the Corner's personnel attempting to subdue the two, they were off. With a chase that lasted at least three hours, Daisy and the poached 'mon that hugged closely to her leg eventually lost their pursuers within the maze-like condominiums of the city's residential district.

Night was soon falling, and Daisy had few (if any) options... other than to bring the Clefairy along with her. It would take a bit of secrecy before she'd have the courage to relay the experience to her grandfather, but luckily for Daisy the Department Store had not yet closed. Smuggling the freed Clefairy beneath her parka, the young girl tore through the floors of the massive building in order to purchase her very first Pokeball.

With as famous a family as the one she has, Daisy has always been relatively subdued in her approach to things that interest her. Though she shared the same tenacity and sharp-tempered ambition as her grandfather and her brother, throwing herself into research or battling never quite seemed to fit the mold she wanted her future to shape around. It wasn't until catching a special on television highlighting Pokemon care that those loose ambitions began to take form.

An excellent student and home-maker, tending to her brother and grandfather in equal measure, Daisy soon spent her time between Kanto and Johto studying different methods of tending to a wide variety of Pokemon. She made it her mission to formulate practices that would benefit even the most burly, difficult-to-manage species, and focused on expanding her repertoire by offering hands-on services to her closest friends. This would soon expand beyond a side hustle, becoming her primary career-goal as she blossomed out of her teenage years.

With her high-profile family bolstering her name to the masses, Daisy's services became high in demand. This spurred for many international trips to follow, where not only were these services offered at a higher expense, but her mastery of Pokemon grooming was also perfected through learning new species and new techniques.
