💫 for Melissa please? :O
Alolan Ninetales aren’t known as “Alolan” in Kaender, they’re known as “Frost” Ninetales, since there is no region named Alola in this universe. The differentiation also used to never exist, as Frost and Flare Ninetales were once one in the same. Frost Ninetales and Flare Ninetales were an anomaly that became the species norm, and only the oldest Ninetales know of this. Frost Ninetales in particular live in the southern portion of Apricity, where most of the water is frozen over and cold. They’re prideful of their Ice typing, and along their history picked up the Fairy typing through permanent species Illumination.
Melissa would most likely be part of an exploration team! She’d travel Kaender and look for hidden treasures and lands with her friends.
