Player: Kururu Character: Minfilia Warde Time Spent In-Game: Since 24/4/2022. Retroactive Retirement?: n/a
How did your character change in Victory Road?: Minfilia Warde arrived in the world at a fragile time. But she learned to understand that she deserved to live. That she deserved to be somebody who could continue on, and defy fate. But that she didn't need to live up to her role as the leader of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. And that she could be loved as Minfilia.
She also discovered she was a full-on lesbian-- I MEAN.
What did your character do to impact the setting?: Minfilia Warde became a Champion, for one. But she also took quite a bit of control during the time everybody was in Hisui, and her act of kindness to the Alpha Blissey was the final step to calm it and get them home. She found herself involved in activism afterwards, and Pokemon rights. She also helped stop the ARC-eus, with her battle strength, alongside aiding when the past Paradox Pokemon awoke and were disrupted. Minfilia was also the first to fight the new Elite Four member, Bede, and show that even if he was from another country, he shouldn't underestimate those of other worlds.
But most of her impact was to other people. She now spends her time working with people from Celadon who have likely come to her for her knowledge, and has been continuing her research into why they are here, and why they vanish.
Why do YOU feel your character should be retired?: Minfilias' canon point is just before a major change for her - where she ascends to godhood, in a way. Most of her time once she learned that in this world was trying to find a way to avert this fate. This is simply a happier end for her, where she can live on her own, and still work on her desire to reach those of home somehow. (Which is a fun mirror of in canon, where one of her allies wishes to find a way to cross the rift between universes.)
NPC Info: Minfilia Warde took care of a Pokemon Sanctuary, which also was a home she saw as a place of research. She carried research into events such as the Fourth Wall weekends, alongside people who'd vanish and appear. She also helped train Pokemon - not for battle, but for working with people. She works for Pokemon Rights. Not in the Team Plasma way, but in the 'hey, my Audino can speak the common tongue and my male Meowstic is a homeowner.' Educating people, and growing as herself.
A note about her Pokemon Sanctuary/home is that she designed it after her home base in the world of Final Fantasy XIV, the Waking Sands. She copied the plans as best she could on that one time that people could go to home locations during Fourth Wall.
As an NPC, I see her as somebody brought in to give some knowledge. Not a proper Pokemon professor, but somebody who can educate people on some of the weird things of this world. And if somebody has a troublesome Pokemon, she'll help with therapy between them. She had considered opening a Gym, but instead will use her position to make a true sanctuary for Pokemon on the edge of Celadon, a bit north of Cycling Road. Using Orthworm holes made Back During That Event to make an underground habitat as well.
