10 Facts About Margot Sycamore

When she was very young, Margot wanted to train Grass Types like her mother, however this turned out to be impossible due to her pollen allergy. Most Grass Type pokémon would, at some point during the year, cause her allergies to flare up. However, after rescuing an injured wild Goomy, Margot decides she wants to specialize in Dragon Types instead, not being discouraged that her original goal didn’t pan out.

While she’s very outgoing and rambunctious, Margot is also very fashion conscious, liking to wear cute clothes even if they’re not the most practical. She maintains that her main outfit consisting of a skirt is perfectly fine for running around outdoors since she wears shorts underneath and hiking boots.

While she’s an only child, Margot has always wanted siblings, being somewhat jealous of her cousins (Aurélie, Thomas, and Odette) who are all close in age and get along fairly well. While she gets along somewhat with Aurélie, the two are still rivals, and with Thomas travelling in another region and having little in common with Odette, the cousin Margot ends up closest with is actually Florian. True, he’s once removed and quite a bit older than her, but Margot sees him as an older brother and mentor. Florian in turn thinks of Margot as a little sister, even if they don’t see each other especially frequently.

Margot has always loved historical and fantasy dramas, in book, tv, or movie form. She adores tales of knights and princesses, dragons and heroes, castles and grand battles - anything like that sets her imagination running. This is a big reason why she tags along with Elias on her journey. Elias is a real prince and knows alchemy! He’s so interesting and Margot can’t help but want to get to know him, thus she ends up dragging him along with her as she travels. In turn, Elias finds himself keeping Margot (and her pokémon) out of trouble.

Margot’s team of dragons is particularly rambunctious. Her starter, Fae the Goodra, is very affectionate and loves hugs, which would be fine if it weren’t for her large size and all the slime. Her Haxorus, Hector, loves battling, but tends to charge into things and has a habit of causing collateral damage, often in attempts to show off to her Noivern, Lyn, who is completely oblivious and thinks of the Haxorus as her rival. Then there’s her Altaria, Ninian, who is a bit of a glass cannon and definitely more support focused, though she luckily has her own ‘knight’ in Margot’s Salamence, Eliwood. Her final team member, Idunn the Hydreigon, is the one who has the most trouble ‘clicking’ with the rest of them. She’s newly evolved and still figuring out the shift from Zweilous to Hydreigon, not sure yet of her own power and worried about going overboard. Fae, as the ‘big sis’ of the team ends up being Idunn’s best friend and support partner. Margot does her best to smooth things out so they all get along, but a group of six powerful pokémon will always come with challenges - that’s what being a true Dragon Master is all about though!

Margot is especially interested in Mega Evolution, having two pokémon on her team who can attain it, but Alain is holding off on letting her have a Keystone until he’s sure she’s ready. He doesn’t want her to end up in a similar situation he was in, since despite Team Flare being defeated, there are still other ways she might end up in trouble if she’s not fully ready for the responsibility. Margot complains, but what she doesn’t know is Alain plans on giving her a Keystone and tips for finding Mega Stones once she returns home from her travels in Unova.

Margot inherited Mairin’s clumsy streak, often rushing ahead while travelling and falling out of a tree, down an embankment, into a river… usually leading to Elias or her pokémon having to retrieve her. As a result, she tends to get a lot of various scrapes and bruises and thus always carries a first aid kit with her. When she was little, Mairin was always the one to patch Margot up, kissing her scrapes better, and she was also the one to teach her daughter basic first aid, even writing a little set of (illustrated) instructions to tuck into the kit she gives Margot when she first sets out on her journey. 

While some Grass Types trigger her allergies, luckily Chespie is just fine for Margot to hang out with all year round, not having any pollen. Chespie, now fully evolved into a Chesnaught, is Mairin’s ace as a Gym Leader, but in contrast to his battle prowess he’s totally soft on Margot, frequently playing with her when she was young - giving her rides on his back and lifting her up in the air with his vines. Chespie is always included when Margot calls home as well, greeting both his ‘niece’ and her pokémon as well.

Margot’s favorite colors are green and blue and almost all of her clothing is in those colors. She’s picky enough about her fashion that she’ll get grumpy when she has to wear something in a different shade, hating wearing red the most since it ‘clashes’ with her hair. After noticing how fashion-conscious Margot is, Charlotte keeps trying to convince the younger girl to try out at least one Showcase, but Margot is dedicated in her professional trainer path.
