Carmine: Difference between revisions

Some time after the events in the [[Area Zero Underdepths]], Kieran invites the player and their friends from Paldea, [[Nemona]], [[Arven]] and [[Penny]], to visit him in Kitakami. When they get there, they discover that ever since Kieran sent his invitation, Carmine has been acting extremely erratically; her eyes have turned purple, she is obsessively doing a strange dance, and she is only capable of uttering the word "Mochi". The player and Kieran investigate and discover that the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Pecharunt}} has been feeding the villagers of Kitakami tainted mochi and brainwashing them, including Carmine. The two pursue and confront Pecharunt, who summons the brainwashed villagers to protect it, including Carmine. Kieran holds the group off while the player defeats the brainwashed [[Nemona]] and catches Pecharunt, restoring Carmine to normal. Afterwards, the group is able to finally enjoy their Kitakami vacation, with Nemona battling Carmine at least a dozen times. Several days later, the siblings see the player off before returning to Blueberry Academy.

When interacting with Carmine's desk in her room at the academy, the player seems to acknowledge that she's very neat and organized.<ref>''"It’s Carmine’s desk! So neat and organized!"''</ref> Carmine states that she can't swim, although it may be that she is simply saying that because she doesn't want to get herself wet, something she states numerous times.<ref>''"Well, yeah. I can’t swim. And besides, my clothes would get soaked if I did it."''</ref><ref>''"You handle looking around in the water. I don’t wanna get my clothes wet."''</ref> She's also deeply embarrassed at the events of [[Mochi Mayhem]], shouting at the player if they answer '''"Well, actually..."''' when Carmine asks if they recorded any videos of her dancing.<ref>''"You didn’t take any videos or anything of me doing that mochi-mochi dance, right?!" <br> "Oh, thank goodness! I know a Pokémon was controlling me and everything, but it’s still the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever done!" <br> or <br> "WHAT?! Delete it! Delete everything, right now!"''</ref>

Whilst her age is unknown, Carmine herself mentions that she still considers herself to be a kid.<ref name=Age></ref> Carmine is a tall girl with long, bi-colored black hair. It curls downwards into several long strands that taper out into ribbon shapes, with two longer strands that protrude from just above her ears. The others reach down to her to just above her waist, facing outwards to reveal a scarlet color. Two short bangs hang out from the direct center of her forehead; intersecting atop each other and reaching down to her nose, with all of her hair being held together by a bright yellow hairband. Carmine's eyes feature similarly bright yellow irises, with long, slit-shaped black pupils. Whenever she is in a state of anger or seriousness, (as seen briefly in the beginning of a battle against her) Carmine's eyes lose their white shine for a brief moment. A mole can be seen under her left eye, which has sharp, distinct eyelashes. In moments of distress, Carmine tugs on the longer ends of her hair, occasionally brushing aside the bangs on her forehead when in battle. When laughing, she clasps both hands in front of her face.

Most of the time, Carmine wears a variation of the [[Blueberry Academy]] winter uniform; a deep blue, three-button up jacket with the school's insignia to the left of her chest. Below is a white undershirt that reaches to her neck. On the back-side of the jacket arm, a noticeably brighter blue stripe can be seen. Below, the uniform's pants are long, blue, and form-fitting, particularly towards the ankles. An inverted v-shaped stripe can be seen towards the knees of the pants; the leftmost leg's shape being pure white, with the rightmost being the same brighter blue color that was on the arms. A white belt is worn around the uniform's waist. When taking time off from school, Carmine often wears long pajamas, which her settei describes as "Holiday style". It also details her enjoyment of sweet snacks.

Carmine also wears red glove with a fingerless thumb on her right hand, as well as a yellow bag around her waist, with two large grey zippers, identical to her brother's. It's unknown what is contained in the pouch, as she pulls out a Poké Ball from her back pocket when in battle, which she throws in a back-handed, underarm fashion. When watching others in battle, she straight stands with her hands clasped together, lightly bouncing up and down.
