Colby has had several body modifications done. Her earlobes were pierced once professionally when she was a child, and she pierced them several more times with help from friends over the years. Currently, she has three piercings per earlobe, but she doesn't always wear an earring in every hole. She prefers small and simple earrings that won't catch in her hair, such as studs and mini hoops, though she may wear a long chain threader earring on one ear or the other when she isn't working. The earrings she typically wears are gold, and some of the studs are adorned with imitation diamonds. Colby is also working on getting a half-sleeve tattoo done on her left forearm in a colorful Unovan neotraditional style. So far, she has a nincada below her inner elbow and a shiny dustox with pecha branches on the back of her hand.
While on duty, Colby is required to wear a uniform so citizens can easily recognize her as a pokémon ranger. During warm weather, she wears a red cargo vest with gold ribbing on the collar and waistband, black cargo shorts, and red sneakers with gold laces. On colder days, she wears a wool-lined red cargo jacket with gold ribbing, full-length black cargo pants, and wool-lined red boots with gold laces. Colby typically wears a plain black or white tee underneath her jacket regardless of the season. Both her vest and jacket have a gold ranger insignia above the left breast pocket and on the back, and she often wears small buttons and pins above the right breast pocket. Colby likes to wear a black baseball cap with a ranger insignia embroidered on the front, and she has warm hats, gloves, scarves, and a puffer jacket to wear during extreme winter weather. She also has a gold utility belt where she can clip her capture styler, PokéNav, Dakota's pokéball, and pouches for additional pocket space while on duty. Her bag is a brown leather backpacking pack that she's had since she was a teenager. It's a little worn out from many years of use, but a few patching jobs and reapplications of waterproofing spray have kept it going strong. She has Rustboro City's Stone Badge, Mauville's Dynamo Badge, and Lavaridge Town's Heat Badge pinned to the main outer flap.
When she's not on duty, Colby tends to dress casually. She didn't have the space or security to keep a large, expensive clothing collection while living out of her tent in her early years, so she prioritized basic, comfortable clothing. Though she now shares a home with Crawford where she can keep a much larger and nicer wardrobe, the habit has stuck with her and she rarely buys higher end clothing. Colby's closet mostly consists of graphic tees, button ups, hoodies, sweaters, denim jackets and pants, sweatpants, sneakers, and boots, and she prefers to wear clothing with bright colors, cute graphics, and retro-inspired patterns. Many of her older jackets and pants have visible patches where she had to mend holes or hide stains. When she must buy formalwear, she chooses high quality and versatile pieces. Colby doesn't have a strong preference for either masculine or feminine styles, and many of her outfits are gender neutral. She doesn't wear makeup, and except for her earrings, Colby doesn't wear jewelry.
Attributes
Inventory
Capture Styler
Colby was issued a basic capture styler from the Vientown Ranger Base after her graduation from the ranger school. She uses her styler to befriend Pokémon while working, and it functions by amplifying her aura and conveying her feelings and intentions to nearby Pokémon. It also allows Colby to utilize Poké Assists and access Almia's Ranger Browser. She clips her styler to her belt while she's on duty for ease of access.
PokéNav
Colby received a PokéNav while she lived in the Hoenn Region, and she still occasionally uses it to get in touch with old friends despite her new capture styler having many of the same features, including calling and messaging. Its case is covered in oodles of cute stickers.
Field Guides
Colby has a large collection of well-worn field guides on the mushrooms, plants, and pokémon that are found in the regions where she has lived. She typically has one or two guides stached in her backpack anytime she's out in nature. Colby also has a notebook that she uses to record any interesting or unusual findings.
Binoculars
Colby often uses her binoculars to spot pokémon from a distance. She received her bins as a gift from a friend while living in Hoenn, and she still uses them even though they're a bit beaten up and outdated. She's outfitted them with a decorative, handmade neckstrap.
Camera
Colby's camera is an old bridge camera that she purchased soon after moving to the Almia region and enrolling in the ranger school. She mostly uses it to document the different critters she sees while out and about, but she occasionally tries her hand at artistic photography, too.
Regional Maps
After encountering many lost backpackers and campers during her time as a ranger, Colby began keeping a selection of regional maps in her pack that she hands out to tourists. She doesn't need to use them often herself, especially since her capture styler and PokéNav both have access to digital maps, but they're nice to have in a pinch.
First Aid Supplies
Colby received basic first aid training while she was a student at the Almia Ranger School. She always keeps a small assortment of antiseptics, bandages, potions, and other supplies on hand in case she meets a person or pokémon in need of assistance.
Miscellaneous Items
Depending on the day and the mission, the following items can also be found in Colby's pack: a flashlight, a utility knife, camping equipment, fishing gear, pokéballs, books, a music player, video games, snacks, drinks, and more. You can never have too many supplies when you're out in the woods!
Partner Pokémon
Brave nature.
Alert to sounds.
Dakota
Aerial Ace, Quick Guard
Dakota was Colby's first official partner pokémon as a ranger, and she's the partner pokémon most likely to be seen at Colby's side when she's on duty. They met when Colby was a teenager living in the Hoenn region. While travelling with her starter pokémon, a combusken, Colby encountered a group of Team Magma grunts at Meteor Falls. Colby and combusken were inexperienced fighters, and the grunts defeated Colby and stole combusken from her. Left without protection from wild pokémon while she fled to Fallarbor Town, Colby was attacked by an aggressive seviper. She sustained a bite to her leg, but an injured zangoose eventually approached and drove the seviper off. Colby treated both the zangoose's injuries and her own, then captured the zangoose in one of her remaining pokéballs. Ever since then, Colby and Dakota have been inseparable.
Unlike the partner pokémon of many other rangers, Dakota is battle-trained and inclined to react physically with aggressors due to Colby's time as a trainer. She also still has a pokéball, though Colby rarely calls her into it. Dakota is loyal and highly protective of Colby, and she's rarely found far from Colby's side. When in battle, Dakota wears a fierce bandana tied around one of her biceps.
Hardy nature.
Nods off a lot.
Kip
Kip was taken in by Colby after he was found abandoned in Almia by an irresponsible tourist. Though the slowpoke was supposed to transferred to another region to be released, Colby and Kip enjoyed each other’s company and Colby chose to keep him as a partner pokémon. She trained him to assist with extinguishing fires and calming down those who have experienced high levels of stress due to his easy-going and friendly demeanor. Kip is also a strong swimmer who can help guide and support Colby through waters with fast currents. Because the active life of a ranger is ill-suited for many slowpoke, Kip can often be found lounging around in the Vientown base when he isn’t needed for a mission.
Kip wears an efficient bandana with a damp rock brooch around his neck.
Past Partners
Relationships
Crawford
Colby met Crawford soon after she arrived in Almia. She was living out of her tent in the Vien Forest near Pueltown, and Crawford was a first-year area ranger stationed in Vientown. He stumbled upon her campsite while in the area on an assignment, and she tried to fight him and his partner, budew. They became close friends after a few more chance meetings around the region, and he encouraged Colby to enroll in the ranger school after watching her handle aggressive wild pokémon with ease.
Colby and Crawford are now dating after knowing each other for several years, and they currently share a home together on Chicole Path south of Vientown, where they both work at the ranger base.
Phoebe
Colby and Phoebe first met while working on a research project conducted by Professor Birch outside of Rustboro City. They quickly formed a tight bond during their work, and they kept in touch even after the research was completed and Colby left Rustboro. Despite Colby later moving to Almia, their friendship remains as strong as ever. Phoebe currently works as a pokémon breeder and trainer for Norman at the Petalburg City gym, and, someday, she hopes to take on the Elite Four.
