HOW DID SHE GET SO DANG LUCKY-

“... That’s a good way to put it. Yes, I would say I am. Sometimes a bit too much... I try to think about the situation before I throw myself into it, but sometimes there just isn’t time to think. The few seconds spent mulling over the potential consequences could make a big difference for what’s at hand. The risks I’ve taken have almost always paid off. I think I just get really lucky.”

“I don’t have a problem with them! I spent most of my life living in Lumiose City. Even visiting the other major cities of other regions, like Castelia, doesn’t really bother me at all. I just have to stay a bit more on guard in larger cities than I would smaller ones. The only thing that gets to me after a while is all the people, but big cities have quiet places to rest if you know where to look.”

“I really don’t like a lot of repetitive, high-pitched noises, but... I feel like everyone hates those. I guess another noise I can’t stand is most stuff in ASMR videos? Like when they run their nails on the mic, make tapping noises, that sort of thing. I can understand why people might find those kind of videos relaxing, but they’re just too grating to me.”

That being said, dark-types especially are comforted by her merely being around, likely thanks to her connection to Yveltal. In turn, she also feels a strange comfort from dark-types. Fairy-types also have a bit of interest in her as well.

“C’mon, this is no place for a pokemon...” Serena is trying to coax a Scatterbug onto her arm so she can put it back into the bushes. The little bug was busy crawling on the window of the house somehow, just out of her reach.

yūgen, literally ‘profound mystery’, is an aesthetic ideal expressing darkness, depth, mystery, transience, ambiguity, calm, sadness and refined elegance. yūgen suggests that which is beyond what can be said; a profound, mysterious sense of the beauty of the universe and the sad beauty of human suffering. It can be conceptualized as a suggestiveness, a lingering memory, an aftertaste or an implication. Imagination is essential for feeling yūgen. In Japanese art it can be expressed by unpainted blank space, simplification, asymmetry, irregularity, imperfection, quiet colours, composition and gold paint.

“... I really hope I’m as brave and courageous as all these quizzes make me out to be.”
