fun facts:
his older brother, peng, is the fire type gym leader. he never sees him since they’re separated on other sides of the continent.
he regards the citizens of festen town as his family, and although he still has a hard demeanor they’re the closest testament to knowing he’s not all too bad somewhere deep down.
he would have a 100% win rate until the protagonist came along- that sounds unbelievable and ridiculous until you consider the fact that very few adolescents are allowed the privilege of starting the gym challenge, let alone running it in full.
he’s been the gym leader since he was 12. he’s unrelated to the previous gym leader for the most part.
he doesn’t have m(any) friends his age, but it’s fine since everyone is either too old or not cool enough to meet his standards.
parents are out of the picture.
he hates bullies ( or at least... those who pick on others but are all talk no proof ) although he borders on one and is pretty rude in terms of speech, he is only ever harsh in the realm of pokemon battle trashtalk. how he reacts to other instances has yet to be seen.
he doesn’t have tv at home so he actually finds it more novel than he should.
he’s not letting anyone make him take off his hood if he could help it. even if that means kicking and screaming.
