( possible parental neglect tw? It’s pretty brief compared to my Willow hc but just a heads up )
25 years old. She studied marine/freshwater biology at Hakuto college after graduating high school and got her Bachelors degree when she was around 21-22
Bisexual
Autistic. Her special interests include freshwater biology, marine biology and mermaids/sirens and she’ll gladly infodump abt them for hours
She also loves frogs! She has a frog plush named Wasabi who she had since she was a little girl
Raised by her aunt due to her bio parents not being able to take care of her properly. Koilee and her aunt are extremely close and her aunt is basically a mother figure to her.
Was sorta sheltered growing up?? not on purpose but Koilee didn't really get out of Sakura Bay much in her childhood outside of the occasional trip to Oilseed Springs and the one time she and her Aunt went to Calypso Island
The Houseboat is her Aunt's and before Koilee started working at the Scooperia, she and her aunt lived together. Koilee still visits her aunt as often as she can and also sends money for rent to her
Koilee has met her mom a few times but they have a really strained and awkward relationship. As for her dad, Koilee doesn't really know anything about him.
She worked at the Sakura Bay Aquarium for about 2 years before she ended up getting laid off due to lack of work/cutting costs
The reason she went to OnionTown was to take her mind off her getting laid off and because her aunt won a raffle for a free trip to OnionTown but wasn't able to go herself so she suggested Koilee to go in her place
Good friends with Joy. They met during the period of time Joy was staying in Sakura Bay ( which was around the time Koilee was starting college ) and clicked really well. they did fall out of contact after Joy left but reconnected when Koilee started working at the Scooperia and they hang out regularly
Adding onto that she’s one of the few people who know Ninjoy and Joy are the same person ( the others being Roy and eventually Moe ) She had some suspicions before but it all clicked together when she found Ninjoys suit lying around in Joys room. Koilee never told Joy about it until way later when they reconnected bc she was nervous abt Joy getting upset at her.
She’s also good friends with Nevada too. They met when they were kids when Koilee and her Aunt went to Calypso Island and were penpals for a while.
She and Carlo live together in an apartment in the " nicer " part of oniontown ( the same apartment Whippa & Mousse live in ) Papa provided it to them so they'd have a place to stay and while they were starting out in the Scooperia Papa paid the rent for them ( now Koilee and Carlo pay the rent themselves bc theyre more financially stable + Carlo is pretty well off outside of the Scooperia )
She and Robby are half siblings ( same dad different moms ) and only recently learned they’re related. They hang out occasionally and get along relatively well ( Koilees also older than him by around 2 years )
bottles up her negative emotions because she doesn't want to bother people with her issues. she also has trouble properly communicating her needs and setting boundaries
was definitely the girl who made those mermaid potions out of shit like shampoo and had to go to the hospital afterwards
drank pond water when she was 6 and somehow didn't get sick or catch anything from it
it DOES tickle me that Hershel “super polite very prim and proper even when dealing with villains” Layton’s signature move is doing something generally considered very rude
