Personality:
Coral is sweet, inside and out. She had a lot of love to give and is very compassionate towards others, often ready to lend a helping hand. She adores socializing, being rather good with people, and enjoys working with others.

Her creativity is inspired by Pokemon and fairy tales alike, and she will always be baking new cute creations. Her love of decorating has given her a good sense of aesthetic, knowing what colours look nice together and the best way to make things look cute and delicious. As a future baker, she wants to make everything look adorable and appetizing. And of course she knows recipes for Pokemon food, too!  Poké Puffs, Poffins, Sweet Hearts and Poké Beans- she does it all. Her Pokemon deserve the best, after all.

She’s wonderful with plans, often knowing exactly what she wants or what she wants to do. On the occasion that something falls through or doesn’t go the way she hoped, she will panic internally and stress about how she can improvise or fix this. Over the years, she learns to take a breath, stop and think instead of worrying excessively over it.
 
STORY
She was born in Laverre City; the city of otherworldly dreams. An unearthly city created by those inspired by a mysterious and ancient tree 1,500 years old.

She spent a good part of her childhood divided between her hometown, Laverre, and the Galarian town of Ballonlea, along with her older sister, Elizabeth.  Coral was happy to get to fall in love with and be a part of two such beautiful places along with her family, up until Elizabeth decided to set out on her own endeavors.  On her last big visit to Ballonlea with her family before traveling, her grandmother, Opal, gifts her with an adorable Milcery.  A part of Galar that she can take along with her on her adventures.  Once home again just before leaving, their parents gift both Elizabeth and Coral with an Eevee; a symbol of them choosing their own paths. Leaving her Grandmother in Ballonlea and her home in Laverre was difficult for Coral, but she was proud of herself too, knowing she has such wonderful people supporting her and cheering her on. 

One of her dreams is gathering as many baking recipes and techniques as she could, so that anywhere she goes, she can take a piece of the things she loves with her.
 
RELATIONSHIPS
Family

Opal: From a young age Opal doted on her and spoiled Coral with Galarian sweets.  While she was treating both her granddaughters to tea parties and baking, she immediately noticed Coral's love of not only the sweets themselves, but making them. Like a fairy godmother, she took Coral under her wing, teaching her what she knew and making sure Coral had access to any recipes or ingredients that she needed- only the best for her granddaughters! It's also thanks to her that Coral has such a love and affinity to fairy types. Adoring her grandmother and everything she does for them, how could Coral not fall in love with the fairy types as well? Opal was also the one who would always tell Coral about the Galarian fairy tale that describes a beautiful Sylveon vanquishing a dreadful dragon Pokemon- it made Coral long for one of her own.

Parents: 

Elizabeth: Her older sister. They were practically inseparable until Elizabeth started her journey. The two are still very close as they go on their separate journeys, always calling and meeting up when they can. Coral cheers Elizabeth on through her career and watches all her shows and movies, and Elizabeth tries to attend every contest Coral joins. Both always keep up with the other on social media! Elizabeth adores Coral's sweet treats she makes, and compliments how good she's gotten at baking. It's because of Elizabeth's encouragement that Coral considers opening up a bakery. When needed, Coral's sweets often make appearances in the movies and shows that Elizabeth is a part of.

Friends

Holly: They've met on more than one occasion and are very friendly with one another. Coral has fallen in love with her homemade tea blends. The two arranged to exchange packages of baked goods and tea blends. 

Hau: They met when she was young; her parents had decided to take their girls on vacation to the Alola region to visit family for a few weeks. There, she met Hau, and they became friends through their love of food and how bright and friendly he always was. The two kept in close contact online and through pen-paling, and were eager to meet up again. They had kept in contact when she had gone home and continued her travels, and she was so happy to see such a friendly and familiar face when she returned to the region to do the trials. He was more than happy to show her and her friends around!

POKEMON TEAM

Ribbon
Eevee → Sylveon ♀
Eevee was gifted to Coral by her parents before she started her journey. Coral always adored the fairy tale of a beautiful Sylveon vanquishing a dreadful dragon Pokemon, so she was absolutely charmed when her Eevee evolved into one. Ribbon and Coral have a strong bond filled with lots of love and affection- she loves to wrap her ribbonlike feelers around Coral's arm and walk alongside her. Ribbon is almost always by Coral's side, and even helps out around the bakery when she can. Her favorite part is greeting customers at the counter. 

Crème
Milcery → Alcremie (Ruby Swirl, Love Sweet; Gigantamax) ♀
Milcery was gifted to Coral by her grandmother, Opal. Shortcake is as sweet as she looks, but very shy. Her cheeks turn pink like her frosting! She loves to help Coral with her baking and is especially good at putting on gorgeous frosting! She performs pretty poorly under pressure though, so Coral tends to let her work in the back where she can enjoy her time decorating rather than be stressed out.

Candy
Swirlix ♀
Coral is very fond of the sweet smell of cotton candy that perfumes Fairy Floss's fluffy fur, loving to pet her partner, even if it may be as sticky sweet as its scent. It's fortunate that Coral loves baking and buying sweets so much, since Fairy Floss eats nothing but sweets. Honestly Fairy Floss is a bit of a glutton, loving to eat almost any sweets she can get; thankfully Coral is well aware of these and leaves out "scraps" of leftover baked goods for her to snack on.

Meringue
Slurpuff ♀
Slurpuff's sensitive sense of smell is very helpful to pastry chefs in their work, so she's a wonderful help in the kitchen.

Mochi 
Cleffa → Clefairy → Clefable ♀
Coral is enamored by the way Clefable moves, skipping as if she were flying using her wings- Mochi's bouncy step allows her to walk on water, which reminds Coral of fairy tales, especially on quiet, moonlit nights. Mochi is a bit of a caretaker to the other Pokemon of the team, though can't deny she loves to be spoiled by her trainer. She's pretty powerful and talented but often shirks off praise, trying to direct it to her other Pokemon companions on the team.

Float
Corsola ♀
Corsola met her trainer when Coral visted the Alola region. Coral was in awe of the pink of Corsola that lived in Alola, surprised at how different they were than Galarian Corsola. Creme's branches glitter very beautifully in seven colors when she catches sunlight. Creme is always a joy for Coral and her team; she's pretty active and loves to train and play. When she drops branches, she gives them to Sugar to keep.

Brioche
Fidough ♀

Angel
Audino (Mega) ♀

Cupcake
Skitty ♀
Skitty is a stay-at-home pet, but sometimes Coral will bring her on travels, or have her sent over so that she could spend time with her. Marshmallow tends to be overly trusting of others, hence normally being an indoor cat unless under supervision. She's a pretty big baby and tends to cry easily, but also recovers just as fast.
