How about Caitlin and Red??? :O
If they had a kid meme (any ship; accepting)
Name: Adan (red earth). Except no one really calls them that–they usually go by “Andoy” because Caitlin’s side of the family are Filipino and every Filipino family has to have someone with a weird nickname (to non-Filipinos, anyway). Caitlin likes to call him “Ani,” though. They also go by An-An. And Dan-Dan. And Aneh. There’s Kulot (”curly hair” in Tagalog). Then Kulit (”stubborn/persistent/annoying” in Tagalog). The list goes on…
Gender: Nonbinary (any pronoun), though he’s not very vocal about. Well. More like she doesn’t care.
General Appearance: Andoy has no sense of fashion whatsoever, wearing anything that smells clean… though even that gets disregarded… yeah, okay, she would wear anything within reach; she really can’t be bothered with how she looks since there are better ways to spend her time. He is conveniently attractive in a “regal” way, so he can pretty much pull off whatever outlandish attire he manages to put on before giving up because it’s too much work he wears, and that’s just not fair to the rest of us, right? Putting up a public face is also out of the question–useless hassle–so they’re an open book. Their posture is impeccable, oddly enough (it must be to look taller than 5′6″), and if there’s one thing that can be called “neat” about them, it’s how they always tie their wavy black hair, which reaches half their back. The reason? Long: too bothersome to cut. Tied: to keep it out of the way.
Personality: Attractiveness aside, upon looking more closely one can see callouses in those long fingers; observant auburn eyes behind the thick eyelashes; and practiced muscles under the flawless skin. He’s not one to be passive in life. “Indifferent” (hahahaha get it? because red’s url is indiffred? hahah–okay, i’ll stop) and “messy” (and it’s not just the ketchup stain on his shirt–dear arceus, just look at their room) might be the first words to describe Andoy, but she’s passionate. She jumps from one hobby to another, the dream to be the very best teacher one day, the burning determination to be a waste collector the next, so it’s kind of redundant to say they have a lot of different skill sets that don’t seem to have much of a pattern. However, if there’s one thing they avoid, it’s pokemon. With Red and Caitlin as their parents, two former Pokemon League Champions (i headcanon caitlin to be a champion later in her life :’) ), Andoy grew up rather conscious of his skills, soon becoming over-critical toward themself, and with the stress building up until she couldn’t bear it anymore, Andoy shied away from pokemon altogether; seeing herself as weak compared to her parents, Andoy feels she doesn’t deserve to have close bonds with pokemon. Or people, for that matter. Insecurity works like that. Another way Andoy’s insecurities manifest is in how they interact with others, as while they don’t hide anything, they speak in short, blunt sentences, making them seem more like a jerk than anything else. …as expected from the child of Red and Caitlin.
Special Talents: Sleeping anywhere, anytime, and on anything. It really wouldn’t be so odd at all to see Andoy falling asleep while eating. On a more serious note, as if fate is showing him a very, very obvious sign, they can understand pokemon in a similar way as N Harmonia. It comes with him being naturally perceptive, and honestly, they grew up with parents who love their pokemon dearly–what else did he expect? And, no, he didn’t inherit any of Caitlin’s psychic abilities.
Who they like better: Andoy was closest to Red (Caitlin’s psychic empathy, giving her the opportunity to know him more than him himself, kind of scares him). Until they distanced themself, that is. By the time they were in their early teens, they realized how the world saw them: the child of former Champions. Expectations rained on them, and the world watched every move they made. In retaliation, Andoy made an effort to put a distance between her and pokemon. Insecurity gave way to self-hatred. By the time she was in her mid-twenties, Andoy hasn’t contacted her parents for years.
Who they take after more: A mix of both for appearance and personality, especially with their stubborn fervor–it’s like combining Red and Caitlin’s and then adding more just for the hell of it. That self-hatred, though. Andoy definitely embodies Caitlin in her younger years.
Personal Headcanon: During his twenties, he caved in. He couldn’t help it. Who cares about what people think anymore? Shaking with excitement and fright, they took up pokemon training, reuniting with the Pikachu they befriended long, long ago, when he was still that child who looked at his parents with awe, wonder, and love. Again maybe fate had a play in it, but the Pikachu remembered Andoy, sighing with a smile, because, wow, my friend really took her time coming home, and the two went on an adventure. It was slow, it was hard, and there were many times when they took five steps back instead of forward, but it was worth it. Andoy grew and loved. By the time they were in their late thirties, Andoy returned to the public as the new Pokemon League Champion in a far-off region, and it’s pretty obvious he’s rebuilding his relationship with his parents due to his many phone calls home, compensating for the time lost. Most importantly, Andoy is happy.
Face Claim: I wanted Hatter from Are You Alice? (just without the dark eye bags), but Gilbert Nightray from Pandora Hearts works just as well~
