Description Finally done the gijinka for my X run!

All designs: White 2 , White , X , Y

Adrien: The grandfather of the team, Adrien is a veteran traveller and knows Kalos better than anyone else. He looks after all the younger ones, but has a particular soft spot for Jacques. He's seen as a mentor for the others as well, and Luc often confers with him on tactics. He's very kindly and is a gentle figure to be around, but may be a little slow to act if it's on his own accord (when it comes to protecting others, however, he's one of the first on the scene). He enjoys swimming more than battling, and wears the wetsuit so he can be ready at any time.  Around 55 years old.

Design notes: I just realised there's not much blue there. It's on the back of the wetsuit, really. The shell is now a big, nubbly cardigan.

Jacques: One of the core trio of The Kids, Jacques was one of the earliest members of the team after Renard. The two boys are best friends, and they both dote on Alanna. He also looks up to Adrien a great deal. He's pretty placid and would rather garden than fight, but he's content to stay with his friends. He's pretty bright, and enjoys working on tactics more than actually doing the combat part, and is often the one to calm more energetic Alanna and gung-ho Renard down. Around 12-13 years old.

Design notes: Much green! The green mask are now tinted glasses, the roses are now bracelets (blue one is hidden behind Alanna), and his hair is basically... Roserade hair.

Alanna: The baby of the team! Alanna loves pretty things - the colour pink, ribbons, the works. That said, she's also surprisingly tough, and Luc gave her her raspberry combat boots after she basically took out the entirety of Shalour City Gym. Jacques and Renard are her best friends, and Luc tries to keep an eye on her. She's enthusiastic and energetic about just about anything, from delicious foods to new towns to battles, and usually fights with a smile on her face. She can easily get hyped up, though, and sometimes needs to be calmed down after a fight. Around 10-11 years old.

Design notes: PINK AND RIBBONS AND PINK AND CUTENESS AND PINK AND SHE'S JUST SO CUTE. Ahem. Her outfit doesn't actually have to be that easy to move around in - she's tough (HP and sp.def), slow, and all her attacks are Special, so she's really not a physical fighter. So she can get away with the longer dress.

Renard: Although he's actually the second-youngest, Renard tries to put a good face on as one of the leaders of the team. That said, he tends to consult the two grown-ups, Adrien and Luc, a lot, and Luc in particular views him as a protege. For all his seriousness with being a Good Leader, though, he does still act like a kid pretty often, particularly around Alanna and Jacques, and enjoys having an opportunity to be silly. Around 11-12 years old.

Design notes: He's still pretty young, so I went with a more active, kiddish outfit. He wears the fingerless gloves to emulate his teacher, Luc.

Luc: Taking the defacto leadership position, Luc is a veteran fighter, having done so since he was a kid, and he tends to mentor the kids in this team. He also tries to keep an eye out for Ursula, who tends to be more insular (and because he understands her impulsiveness problems, having dealt with his own). Luc is very much a core member, and tries to lead by example while also teaching Renard to eventually take his place. He acts very seriously and rarely lets his guard down, but when he does, he's quite pleasant to be around. Also: gigantic sweet tooth. Around 30 years old.

Design notes: Wanted a fairly combat-ready outfit, so it's easy to move in and unobtrusive. The chest spike is now a necklace, and he wears the Lucarionite around his neck.

Ursula: Ursula is a little more isolated than the others, partially because of becoming part of the team fairly late in the game, partially because of her age - older than The Kids, but younger than the adults, and partially because of her impulsiveness. She can be a little wary around Alanna, who has the ability to actually defeat her in combat despite her age, and tends to stick around Luc, who is helping her with her impulsiveness (and who shares her sweet tooth). Around 18-19 years old.

Design notes: Malamar is a pretty flamboyant-looking Pokemon, so I went with that for her outfit - colours (albeit subdued ones), make-up, and awesome hair. (Not actually tentacles. Heh.) It's still a pretty easy-to-fight-in outfit, though, with the dress short enough that it doesn't hinder her movements.

So I take it that Renard's name was inspired by Reynard the Fox from French folklore~? :3 Fitting... A fox in a setting based off France~ =w=

He was, yeah I learned about it from the amazing webcomic, Gunnerkrigg Court (Renard/Reynardine is a character in it), so when XY was announced, and it was a region based on France, and my favourite starter was an adorable fox? I kind of HAD to name him Renard XD

Oh yeah, I've heard of it~ I came across it when I was looking up references for the Navajo trickster Coyote. =w=

Ooh, okay! I highly recommend it, I've been reading it for years Coyote is a damn interesting character, too. But yeah - the art improves dramatically from the start, it has really fantastic worldbuilding and internal mythology, the characters are really compelling, and the relationships between the characters are just perfect, it's my favourite webcomic ever written.

It's funny as hell~ X3 It follows the rules of a Dungeons and Dragons campaign, and it's got a great balance of humor and drama~ ... It takes a little bit to get into the meat of the story, but it's still funny~
