About

Kiki Vaquez was born an only child to a couple living in Goldenrod, Johto. She grew up not particularly wanting for anything, although she spent a good deal of time alone. As such, she had difficulty developing proper social skills, and struggled to make friends from a young age. Her mother, a stay at home mom, had her durant help to keep Kiki out of trouble, and often times would have the bug pokemon babysitting while she cooked, cleaned, or socalized. Being followd around by a giant metal ant did not help her make friends. As a teen, Kiki developed a kind of resentment towards her father, a stern, distant man. He was usually away on business, and when he was in town he worked late before coming home. Kiki resented him not only for not being present, but also blamed him for the duress it seemed to cause her mother.

When her mother eventually passed away, she told her father at the funeral that she wasn't planning on staying in Goldenrod. He made no move to stop her. She began backpacking across Johto, veentually befriending other travelers, mostly trainers. For a time, she took her mothers durant with her for protection, but she eventually passed peacefully of old age. By then, Kiki had journeyed with a friend she'd met, Ava, to Alola, where she took up part time work for the Aether Foundation. It was there that she met Ymir, an emolga who had previously been rescued by the foundation. Ymir was skeptical of new people, but the two quickly bonded. By the time Kiki was wrapping up her time with the foundation, Ymir insisted on going with her. The two have been inseparable since.
