VICTORYSTALLINE is a canon divergent Scarlet & Violet protag OC centered heavily on Terapagos.
Imagine a scrappy orphan just out to survive. Now put him on an expedition he has no right to be on, add some weird turtles, and send him 200 years into the future. Then make him go to school. That's how you get Nico.

Ten years ago, Beyla came into her mother's life. Finding the child by the roadside, protected only by a strange pokemon Beyla's mother took them in and when she could not find the legal guardians of this girl anywhere, wether inlands or abroad, Beyla was adopted.
She grew up mostly normally but eventually the pokemon that was with Beyla eventually disappears - only to come back into Beyla's life one day when she finds Miraidon hurt by the beach.
As Miraidon's condition improved with every Herba Mystica collected, Miraidon's recovery seemed to affect Beyla's own health as well. Slowly, lost memories of the life before she was found by her mother began to creep back into her mind.
NON-PUBLIC INFO
(TW for mentions of stalking, kidnapping, accidental homicide, unethical cloning usage, implied grooming)
Beyla comes from a time period 4000+ years in the future.
Originally, there was Gaian. Gaian, a gifted scientist and well liked woman by her peers, had a friend.
Her friend was obsessed with Gaian. Gaian did not feel the same. Her friend became her stalker, and eventually, her captor.
But she defied him time and time again. Her spirit remained unbroken, and with growing desire and desperation, her Stalker - a renowned scientist himself - makes a snap decision.
He starts a project to clone his Desired, so that eventually he could make Gaian his. Even if not the original.
Gaian eventually learns about this project and flips out. In a fight she finally takes up, her Captor ends up stabbing her multiple times, and in a panic, leaves to try and organize a way to get rid of a body.
Gaian meanwhile, on the brink of death but yet still holding on, forces herself to stand. As her body continued bleeding, Gaian used the chaos to gain access to the cloning area. When there, she released the clone before it was ready. Before Gaian, now, was what looked like a five year old child, and the first thing that five year old child gets to see in her life- was the dying woman that looked so much, far too much, like her.
Gaian knew her time was very short, and so she released a locked up prototype Miraidon. She made sure it's settings knew it was to protect the child. This Miraidon was a runt, a failed prototype that was never meant to be activated, but now that it was, it would have to suffice.
Gaian approached the child. "I'm so sorry you had to come into the world," she said, voice heavy with sorrow, and raspy with death, "but know that at least one soul here loves you. And wants you, to be - happy. Miraidon will protect you."
As she reached out and hugged the child, covering her in blood and giving her that warm affection in the same gesture, Gaian stroked her hair.
"Your name is Beyla. Never let anyone tell you otherwise. You are unique. Please be yourself. Be free."
And then Gaian sent her and Miraidon through a trapped time anomaly to 4k+ years into the past.
And then she passed, a smile on her face, for she'd defied the Traitor one last time. She remained unconquered.
IMPORTANT CHARACTERIZATION BITS
When the memories became clearer and she began to question her life, Miraidon finally filled her in on her past.
As she's now aware she's a clone, she has gotten significantly less confident. She no longer sees herself as human, as a valid target for attraction or affection, and she tries her hardest to keep her past secret.
Gaian was an albino, and so is Beyla. However, Beyla acitvely uses blue eye contacts and dyes her hair blue in a specific strand in an attempt to feel more approachable.
- Being so visually different, Beyla grew up largely alienated from other kids and when one day someone told her that she looks creepy, that was the first moment from when she started trying to change her appearance.
- As a result of this alienation and bullying, Beyla's aggressively selfconscious about how she looks and how others feel about her. The revelation of being a clone only made her pre-existing insecurities worse to the point where Beyla actively dehumanizes/depersonalizes herself in relation to others.
However, Beyla continues to try and be kind to everyone she meets. She deeply believes that if she just gives out enough kindness, that one day, that kindness will come back to her. She believes empathy and kindness are the most important traits a person can have.
- However, this also means she's kind of a lil bit of a doormat at times.
She's also incredibly extroverted, contrastfully enough! Ever since one day she saw a streamer online say that excessive confidence (even if its fake) is a better trait to have than wallow in your selfpity, and that being outgoing is the way to friendship, she has made it an integral part of her personality to the point where it just became natural to her.
She's quickly smitten with pretty people and people who are kind to her. She gets attached and attracted at times fairly quickly, but most crushes she develops this way are mostly superficial and quickly fade - unless her relationship with that person becomes strong enough to where it stops being a fleeting attraction.
- However, regardless of this, Beyla will absolutely never ask someone out first, because she neither thinks she (as a clone) is a valid target for someone's romantic attention (because she considers herself a "fake human"), nor does she think that she's good enough and that other people deserve better than a fake-person placeholder.
Beyla has a tendency to play over her insecurities and anxieties with performative confidence and energy. As such, it can be quite the whiplash to people when eventually the facade cracks.
VIOLET STORY RUN
TBA. Largely canon adherent but with significant differences in specific areas.
Over all her story in Violet has helped her mature and become confident a lot more. While her problems are nowhere near being solved anytime soon, she can now cope much better.
Most of the story of Violet after Beyla meets Miraidon again remains the same as regular violet, up until she first leans of who Professor Turo is, at which point the mention of his dream as well as his look forward to the future begins to make Beyla uncomfortable. This eventually becomes relevant when it begins to show in how she interacts with Arven - where she initially didn't like the boy very much upon first meeting him and slowly warming up to him since then, a new element of her treating him exceptionally awkwardly begins to creep in when she learns that Turo is Arven's father. Arven ends up feeling alienated from her too by her behaviour and eventually grows fed up enough with it that he confronts her about it, asking her why she even came to the next titan location to help him if she feels so uncomfortable with him and what her problem with him was.
She apologizes to him but unsure how to fix the situation without telling him when she's from and making him think she's a fucking lunatic, flounders and causes him to remain upset until they fight the titan together.
As Arven's pokemon is about to get seriously hurt by titan bombirdier, Beyla doesn't think and jumps forward to tackle the thing out of harm's way, barely just evading injury herself. This causes Arven to nearly have a panic attack and then blow up on her for nearly getting herself killed, as humans cannot resist pokemon attacks, let alone titan attacks, as well as other pokemon can.
He insists on taking her to the hospital after they win, to which Beyla reluctantly agrees. In the ER she's soon acquitted from any further treatment than the necessary checks for internal injury and broken bones. etc.
When they exit Beyla tries again to apologize to Arven for how she made him feel, and he finally tells her to shut up and that he forgives her if she'll stop putting herself in harms way like this.
After this, things run along largely the same as in canon Violet. But when eventually it comes to the descent into Area Zero, Beyla increasingly grows anxious. Convinced she needs to get a grip and finally tell her friends, shortly before they enter the gate to Area Zero she stops Arven, Penny and Nemona and finally admits the truth.
She's convinced that both her being a clone and being from the future would drive them away, so she's positively shocked and surprised when they accept her regardless - especially after the experiences Beyla's made as a little child getting bullied for being albino.
With renewed confidence and courage bolstered by her friends, the group delves into Area Zero, and things go otherwise as it does in canon.
Nico's full name is Nikolas Aurajo. Well technically it's the fake name he used to get on the Area Zero Expedition. So it's basically his legal name now.
"They're bad people who like money and absolutely nothing else. While we're in Galar just assume anyone you meet who's wearing a suit is a capitalist."
all of the scarlet and violet protags coexist and go to the same school because the area zero time machine collapsed the timeline. This is canon as far as I'm concerned.
