Headcanon [ Insert number here Ill check later ]
[ Cherise has low self esteem in regards to being a trainer, mostly because of her mother's constant quizzes about Pokemon. Whenever she got a wrong answer, her mother would complain about wasting money on her education.
Despite her actually knowing many things, she believes shes usually wrong and incapable of being a competent trainer. She sees herself as dumb quite often.
Also.. she only knows how to take care of adult poison types. All her pokemon were pretty independent when she first got them, the only exception being Ganon but more on that some other time.
This Vulpix she's recently obtained isn't. Shes still a baby and needs special care, on top of the fact that its a different type from what shes trained before. Which has started making all these feelings of incompetence to resurface. ]
