People are gonna ship Adrian and Lacey so hard and it is going to drive me insane because neither of those characters would ever be in a relationship, let alone either each other.

And for anyone who thinks this is some sort of fandom headcanon thing I'm talking about my OCs so I know this for a fact. Because I created them.

Time for, random fun facts about my OCs.

Lacey (my OC, not the Pokemon character), is a font of useless trivia, not because she does research or spends too much time on Wikipedia, but because she's had a lot of one night stands and people will just tell her stuff. And sometimes that stuff is useless trivia.

She'll say something about shellfish and the explanation will be "I once had a one night stand with a Marine Biology Major and she infodumped for an hour about shellfish." (the Marine Biologist did not score, so for once the benefits of being a Marine Biologist did not pay off, its not her fault, Lacey's just not interested in that kind of relationship).

Its a very convenient way for me to justify her knowing things she might not otherwise know while also being a kinda funny running gag. Some people would call it a cheap cop out trick but it makes sense with her character.

I've put way too much thought into Lacey's sex life considering I only really plan to use it for humor. Like, I have this whole list of principles she has written out (in my head) and everything and that's never going to come up in the story.

Lacey is what happens when I smash, like, five different character archetypes together.

Lacey's also best friends with Adrian, one of my other OCs. She's trying so hard to do the whole "lean on someone else's shoulder to look cool" thing but she's too short. He looks annoyed but secretly finds it funny.

This is Lacabelle "Lacey" Birch aka Okami. Her clothes are designed to stretch to accommodate her wolf form but the change from Plantigrade to digitigrade, they can't make shoes that do the same so she spends most of her time barefoot. The bracelets help her control her wolf form. Despite her insistence that she's not a werewolf, they're inset with moonstones. Not pictured: her ponytail that emotes like a wolf's tail.

She's based on og Mare (hence the much lighter skin). Originally she was supposed to be Mare translated into a non-Pokemon form so I could use her for work purposes (for those who don't know or forgot, I wanna be a Screenwriter) but then Mare evolved away from her original characterization so I merged her with a different character (that's where the first name comes from, but if I ever wrote down her last name I lost the document so Birch it is) and made her a bit of a slut for funsies. Also I just realized I forgot to add her ribbon (cause of course she has one, her name's Lacey for pete's sake) but I can do that tomorrow.
