Dot: Difference between revisions

|debut=''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All: Part One]]''

Prior to ''[[HZ015|Someone We Can't See! Whosawhatsit?!]]'', before becoming a popular content creator, Dot was a fan of [[Iono]], which inspired her to become a video streamer, Nidothing. After this, Dot's video channel on the internet became a hit among Trainers.  

Dot first appeared in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All: Part One]]'', taking part in several videos alongside Quaxly in her Nidothing costume.

In ''[[HZ015|Someone We Can't See! Whosawhatsit?!]]'', Dot was tasked to find information on the whereabouts to where Liko is located. Initially, Dot informed the Rising Volt Tacklers that Liko had been seen in [[Artazon]]. Unfortunately, they were unable to find her, due to getting tricked by false information. Urgently Dot contacted [[Iono]] for help and, using her live show to her advantage, she started to find Liko: Iono unexpectedly started a game of tag to search for the girl, which Dot was not expecting that to happen, disconnecting as the live show was still continuing. As the Rising Volt Tacklers were leaving, she requested Friede to bring her to [[Levincia]] as well. After landing in town, Roy was the first to see her in person, acknowledging her as Dot, seeing how friendly Quaxly was towards her. Using the information from participants of the game started by Iono, Dot and Roy were able to find Liko. Though, when first meeting face to face, Liko didn't know who Dot was, not until she introduced herself, leaving Liko surprised. Iono arrived to find both Roy and Liko on top of the building, as Dot leaves and hid to play the role of Nidothing. After all that, it left Dot exhausted from being outside.

As an influencer and a video distributor, it is Nidothing's job to entertain young aspiring Trainers. Within the videos, she is seen as perky, using exaggerated teaching methods, and giving a beginner's guide to Trainers interested in starting their own {{pkmn|journey}}. However, after becoming a Pokémon Trainer herself in ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It!]]'', Dot got a taste of Pokémon battles, which she found enjoyable. Dot also uses the experiences she gained from being a Trainer as inspiration for her videos, as seen in ''[[HZ026|Terapagos's Adventure!]]'', when she attempted to make a video about [[Multi Battle]], but was interrupted by {{an|Terapagos}}, although she did finish making the video in the [[HZ027|next episode]].

As Nidothing, she always starts her videos or livestreams with the catchphrase, '''''What's up!''''' (Japanese: '''よぉーっす！''' ''Yoo-su!''). Her Japanese catchphrase is a combination of the common English slang "yo" and part of {{p|Quaxly}}'s Japanese name. Outside of being a streamer, Dot seems to be reclusive and spends most of her time behind doors creating videos, and is rarely seen by the other [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] members. Rather than having herself talk to [[Roy]] and [[Liko]], she used {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}} as a messenger to communicate with them. Due to her shyness, having lunch with the other members is bothersome to her. However, after being touched by Liko's kindness, Dot opens up a bit, as seen in ''[[HZ008|The Door That Never Opens!]]'' when she sneaked out of her room to grab the donuts [[Murdock]] made for her and Quaxly. This was shown again in the [[HZ009|next episode]], where Dot took [[Ludlow]] advice to the heart, as she realized that she and Liko do have some similarities, even leaving a drawing for her at her room.

Dot eventually grew to consider Liko a friend, as seen in ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', when she was surprised that she wanted to share experiences with her by giving her and Ludlow their own picnic to enjoy on the [[Brave Olivine]]. Dot also went out of her way to look for Liko when she went missing in ''[[HZ015|Someone We Can't See! Whosawhatsit?!]]'', as she left her room and the Brave Olivine to find her. At first, Dot found Roy annoying, but was intrigued that he had a rare {{i|Poké Ball}} that had a Black Rayquaza inside it. However, after teaming up with him in looking for Liko and battling against the [[Explorers]], Dot warmed up to Roy and came to see him as a friend. Dot also watched Roy's second battle against [[Friede]] in ''[[HZ017|Special Training Time!]]''.

Dot tends to get easily nervous or anxious on a tight schedule, or frustrated when she sees a comment on one of her videos she doesn't like. Dot is also shown to grow increasingly afraid and conflicted about any of her fans finding out that she's Nidothing. However, Dot does show guilt for her unwelcoming attitude towards others, deciding to read Liko's comment as Nidothing during said livestream to make up for turning her down. Despite not wanting others to know the truth, Dot does bring herself to make an attempt to confess to Liko that she is Nidothing after gradually warming up to her, as seen in ''[[HZ011|Arboliva's Forest]]''. However, after being encouraged by Quaxly, Dot fully tells Liko the truth about being  Nidothing in ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It!]]''. Dot even told Roy that she is Nidothing, as she came to trust him to know the truth about her influencer and a video distributor identity.

Dot dislikes being misled, as seen in ''[[HZ015|Someone We Can't See! Whosawhatsit?!]]'', when she found out that the information she got about Liko's whereabouts were false. This was shown again in ''[[HZ027|As Long as I'm with My Friends]]'', when she got misled in getting information about the {{Shiny|Black}} {{p|Rayquaza}}. Although she still spends most of her time in her room, Dot seems to be more open in leaving it and interacting with others. Dot also seems to be comfortable in letting Liko and Roy in her room. In addition, Dot seems to be interacting with the rest of her teammates and Murdock a little bit more, as she is starting to open up to them.
